The - demolishing of the buildings on the site will commence at once. They are at least seventy, probably eighty years old, having been dn their present shape when the late William Fond leased one in 1837. It {has been used for the building he founded ever since. It was occupied about 1826 by Scantlebury, facturer of leather breeches, then a very common part of gentlemen's wardrobe. This part of the block was the location of St. George's church, a wooden structure, shown in the old engravings of the city.

It seems to me that one or two of the Military League Teams in this city are not playing the game, and 1 would like to take this opportunity ~ J. J. STEWART, OPT. D. A in ht 84 Post Office maar Ticket . Kirpae through tne columns of the public press to point out why in my humble opinjon they are mot playing the game. Under Military League rules no man is all to play unless ue has EE i eior aaeia been , and I know wnat the District Depot played men who had We make them like new. This tire has the tread completely worn off and when rebuilt is as good never been overseas, and while 1 have no personal enmity against them for this fact it will, I am sure, show wherein the District Depot has erred. It did not play tne game, in 80 far as they played men who were not entitled to play under the M.li- tary League Rules, 1 think that the District Depot 'will agree with me that they were severely stung dn their supposition that Friday night's game would wipe the G.W.V.A. off the map as a baseball aggregation, for they reck- oned without their customers, ag the G.W.V.A team, as all will agree, played the game of thelr lives and won a richly deserved game. It was said on the diamond that it the G.W.V.A. chose to play City League players so much the better for them but it must be remember- ed that the very organization of the G.W.V.A. forbids them playing any member not eligible under M. L. rules, ag the Association can only play its own members. 1 can assure the District Depot that the G.W.V.A. will play tne game 4f hey will and, as only by playing the game, can baseball be brought to the standard that will reflect credit on the mill- tary and other leagues in this city, it is up to the central executive of the leagu take steps to see that only eligiple players are allowed to g0 on tle diamond, and as. these rules ware drawn up by the manag- erg of (he teams temselves, it is to be hoped that they will pet an ex- ample. bik Playing the game tluem- Thanking 'yun «Or any space that you may deem fit to give me In excellent paper.

George Hillier Located His Deer Hound As Result of Whig Liner. George HilMer is a firm believer in the old doctrine, "It Pays to Ad- ventise." Mr. Hillier dost a deer hound which he prized very highly. He put an advertisement in the Whig this week, and as a result he found his much-prized dog. A man giving the name of Gordon found the dog: noticed the advertisement in the Whig, and now the canine 4s back with its owner. Mr. Hillier was more than pleased over his good fuck and informed the Whig. "There's nothing like advertising when you lose anything' he sald, "Just let the citizens know how I located the dog."
