At almost every hour in the morning and aftermoom, groups of Kingston's young - athletes, both boys and girls, may be seen enjoying exciting games of baseball here and there on the civic playgrounds. Not even the extreme heat is a strong enough factor to drive them away, &G interested are they in preparing a strong team for their next game against the other playground. Those who are not interested in baseball find very fittle time to sit idle, for there are very few children who do not enjoy a nice swing, and they have plenty of opportunity to bave that enjoyment on the play- grounds. All get their turn, as can be readily understood when the chil- dren aré heard saying, "27, 28, 29-- there I've had my 30," and off they jump to give up their swing, and then wait their turn for another 30. Cries. of "Please push me" are heard from children of all ages, young and old, for in one section of the playgrounds, in Victoria Park, are baby swings, where all children ander six years of age, may have a happy time in perfect safety. Here mothers come with little babies, some even six months of age, to put them in these swings, support- ed at both back and front by strong bars, Other little tots are put in the HOUSEKEEPERS, ATTENTION!

This af- fords entertainment for two or three hours at a time and many, many times is the supervisor called to see a castle, house or warship, well con- structed by the happy chiidren in their play. Another place of great interest is the section in which the slides are placed, Here at times the children are lined up behind the steps await- ing their turn, while the older bro- thers and sisters wait at the bottom to gatch the tiny ones, and then they themselyes run up the steps to have their turn. Tiring of this, the tee- terstotters prove to be a never-fail- ing entertainment for big and little. Scarcely can they be torn away at times, to play games or listen to stories by the supervisor, for, diring these activities, the apparatus js al- ways in use by some of the children, No one but the parents of children | can realize what a blessing these supervised playgrounds are, One man, engaged at night work, was beard to remark, early in July, that be had had his first whoie after- noon"s sleep, which his wife explain- ed was due to the fact that his large family of children were all away at the playgrounds for the afternoom. In this and in many other ways the playgrounds are of great benefit, esppcially for those children WSO have no place to play but the hot and dusty streets. Phillips-MoGoff Nuptials.

Lieut.-Col. the Hon. James Morris 1 (1798-1865) was rather a noted pub- lic man in pré-Confederation days and when the inhabitants of the ham- let 08 "West Williamsburg" that had arisen at the foot of the Rapide du Plat during the improvement of the St. Lawrence canals turned their at- tention to the selection on a more distinctive title for it, they decided to incorporate in their choice the name of the man' who had been =z commissioner for furthering the ca- nal work and who had also occupied a commanding position in public life for many years. Hon. Mr. Morris was born In Pals- ley, Scotland, and as an infant accom- runied his parents to Canada. In 1803 they settled at Elizabethtown (Brockville), where Mr. Morris sub- || sequently engaged in business with his brothers, Alexander ard William, and amassed considerable wealth. His residence was situated where Court Terrace now stands. As a Reformer he represented Leeds in Parllamént from 1837 to 1844 when he was call- ed to the Legislative Council. On three occasions he was a member of the Executive Council, first as Post- master-General (the first to occupy that portfolio after the transfer of the department from Imperial con- trol), and afterwards as Recolver- General. When Postmaster-General he inaugurated the postal treaty with the United States and reduced the Canadian rate from an average of 15 cents to one of five cents. He was also Speaker of the Legislative Coun- cll, a member of the Board of Rall- way Commissioners, a government di- rector of the Grand Trunk Railway Company, a lieutenant-colonel in the militia, first president of the Johns- ton District Building Society, a di- rector of the Brockville Library and Mechanics' Institute, etc. Mrs. Morris (1806-1866) was Em- ily Rosamund, daughter of Henry Murney, Kingston, and their family consisted of four sons and four daughters. The sons were James H. Morris, Q.C., Toronto; Alexander R, Morris, , barrister-at-law, Kingston, Edmund Morris, of the Ontario bank, and William, drowned oft Ventnor, Isle of Wight; one daughter died in infancy and the others were married respectively to W. H. Merritt, bar- rister, Dr. E. W. Spraggeé and G. F. Harman. "Mr. Morris," an obituary notice read, "was possessed of great shrewd- ness, tact, and knowledge of affairs. He was kind and conciliatory in his manner and in all his public actions was animated by an anxious desire to serve his country." In 1864 Mr. Morris presented Mor- risburg with the sum of $100 and this was devoted to the purchase of a bell, which, it is understood, is still in use in a school-house. ---------------------- "Rotary Olub Activities. | A rare treat is in store for the members of the Kingston Rotary Club, at their weekly luncheon at the British-American hotel at 12. 30 (noon) on Friday.

Bdward Harlton, who was allowed out on parole from the Portsmouth penitentiary, pleaded guilty at Lou- dom, Ont., to stealing fowl, but Mag- istrate Gladman exercised leniency. The court blamed bad Ss for Harlton's downfall and advised him, for the sake of his parents, to turn over 3 mew leaf at the expira- tion of his term at Portsmouth. He will be confined to the county jail for one mouth amd then must com- plete his term at the penitentiary, which will be up at the end of the year. It appears that Harlton had in- tended to go west on a harvesters' excursion but had fallen in with bad | companions, taken too much liquor, and wound up by stealing poultry. "With the new year I hope you will turn over a mew ieaf and lead an honest life in future," was the parting advice given the prisoner by the court, as the case was finally disposed of.
