QUEEN'S WINS FROM TANNERS But Had a Narrow Escape In the Last Innings, Queen's piled up fourteen runs on Tanners last evening in the Mercan- tile baseball series, and it was well for them that they had secured such a lead before the last inning. The game was: fairly close all through bit Queen's managed to get the long end in the breaks. Under the man- agement of "Bronzy" McNeill, the famous old-time outfielder for Chi- cago, the campus toilers have been putting their brawn in the same box with baseball science and shaking up the two. As always, you have to hand it to the Tanners for stickers. They are right on the dot as far as time goes always willing to abide by the deci- sion of the umpire, and game to the very last. Although they have not secured so many victories that they cannot count them, they are the kind of team which makes the league a success. 'The score stood at fourteen to one for some time and then the Tanners came back with a mighty heave and secured ten runs in the last inning, but they were slightly late In start- ing and failed to get enough. The fin- al score was 14-11 for: Queen's. At the bowling green on Thursday night in the doubles A. Tarcott won m J. F. McMillan by 13 to 11, and . H. Dyde from J. A. Newman by 14 to 12. In the singles W. Lin- ton won from Dr. A: HE, Sparks by 16 to 15, and BE, 'Walsh won from C. Sleeth. : MITOHELL-McKAY NUPTIALS. A Pretty Wedding Oeremony Was Performed on Wednesday.

Great Revival of Music Taking il In England. There Is just now a great re taking place, probably due to the mobilizing and the national ave tor music and dancing everywhere, respect to 'the formation of Te = brass bands, says London Answers. Especially is this the case along. the whole Thames Valley, where al- ready. there are certain Sne bands whose fame has become more than local during the past few years. The fame of such southern brass bands as Ham and Petersham, Ted- dington; Kingston and Staines, is sufficient to show what immense' strides this district has made in re- cent years with regard to this kind of music. The deep interest now being taken in forming similar bands at othr places along the Thames, such as hmond and Twickerham, indicates a still wider and more earnest desire on the part of south- ern 'England to take its place beside the north, which has for decades held a big supremacy with respect to its renowned brass bands. 'What magic there is in the very names of some of these?! How well we remember those tremendous alb Saturday contests which 'used to take place -- annual fights for the brass band championship--each Sep- tember at the Crystal Palace, when tens of thousands of enthusizsts used to come along by excursions from Yorkshire, Lancashire and Northumberland to storm London for the day. And what roars, what applause, what enthusiasm at the Palace when the celebrated Besses o' th' Barn ("fra Lancasheer"), or Wyke Tem- perance ('"froo Bradford way') took the platform against such wondrous rivals as Meltham Mills ("along Huddersfield way"), the popular Black Dyke, or Linthwaite for the championship. Shall we see these contests again? Certainly; we are looking forward to them next year with renewed zest and eagerness. For it is Yorkshire and Lanca- shire, together with Durham and Northumberland, which supply the bulk of these marvellously clever brass bands, with their hosts of fine executants. One has only to recall the names of Irwell, Hebburn, Horbury and Bramley to grasp this at once. There is hardly a Mttle village in the sub- urbs 'of the great cotton and woollen centr but owns its brass band, with anything from a dozen to two score performers; men who can play all sorts of instruments, and play them extremely well, too. For long years the much-coveted championship has gone north, won by one or other of the bands men- tioned above, and very keen has been the rivalry for it, too. Their successes have made the names of such hands as Besses 0' th' Barn, Black Dyke, Wyke and Melt- ham Mills known all over the British Empire. Before to-day some of these have made world tours by special re- quests, and delighted millions of our kinsmen- in the far dominions, where the lads from Lancashire, Yorkshire or Northumberland have received an other lands, but who have never for- gotten the places from which they came in the Motherland. Why, famous poems have been written about more than one of these grand northern bands. There is scarcely any dialect-poem better known throughout Yorkshire than that which tells of the lively doings of the Bramla' Band. All over the West Riding the tre- mendous rivalry for supremacy be- tween Huddersfield, Bradford and Wakefield districts for their brass bands is something remarkable and the subject of perennial disputes. If in the future, therefore, the south of England can even draw per- ceptibly near to the north in' this rivalry, there is in store for music- lovers a real treat. The contests for the championship are likely to prove still more exciting than of yore. But the Thames Valley bands have long way to go before this happens. For, be it remembered, prac ically every miner, every weaver, warehouseman around 'Huddersgela can play some instrument well.
