Play THE OLD MILITARY HOSPITAL 1S BURNED it Is Thought That Tramps Were Responsible for the Fire. The old military hospital build- ing, located on the shore of Dead Man's Bay, about a mile and a half from the city and unoccupied Yor years, was gutted by fire on Mon- day morning. The building, which is a stone structure, was used about fifty years as a hospital for the per- manent troops which were stationed in Kingston. At one. time it was used as an isolation hospital. About 10.30 o'clock the fir® was first noticed, and the city department was asked to send some men Over. When the firemen arrived it was clearly seen that the blgsze had been underway for some time, as the two wooden floors and the roof of the building had taken fire. Before long the roof fell in. The brick fireplaces and the chimney also collapsed. Although no person knows the cause of the fire, it is supposed that some tramps spent the night in the building and left a lighted fire on the floor. A number of Kingstonians, who have summer camps in that locality, sere called but there was very little dangér of any of their buildings tak- ing fire as the wind was blowing in the dirdetion of Cedar Island. The Y.W.C.A. summer home was the closest to the scene of the blase. C. 8. Anglin, whose camp is next to the. "y"" camp, went over to see that his cottage was all right.

Dr. Andre is a graduate of the Antwerp Conservatory of Music and the Cologne Academy of Music, the late director of the Johamnesburg Con- servatory of Music and the conductor of the Symphony Orchestra of that South African city. Prof. Andre has produced the Mikado on many occasions. In 1823, under his direction, it ran in Johan- mesburg, South Africa, -for two weeks, enjoying the patronage of thousands. The Kingston Kiwanis Club, under whose auspices the op- era is being given, ls indeed fortu- mate in securing the services of this conductor, who will present the opera to the Kingston public on the 24th, 25th and 26th of November. In addition to the features of the opera itself there will be several in- termission numbers put on by Ki- wonians and other Kingston artists, among them the song and chorus, "A Canadian Girl for Me," by Jack Blder and twenty girls in summer costume, and the mousing song. "Builders We," by thirty-five Ki- wanians. It is expected that the Grand Theatre will be especially de- corated for the occasion. SOREEN VERSION OF "THE MAN WHO CAME BACK" AT CAPITOL William Fox has produced another picture for a notably successful no- vel and stage play in "The Man Who Came Back," which opens a three-day engagement at the Capi- tol Theatre starting today. Origin- ally a novel by John Fleming Wile son, "The Man Who Came Back" was dramatized by Jules Bckert Goodman and produced by William A. Brady in 1817. George O'Brien and Dorothy Mackaill have the principal parts and are supported by a capable cast including Cyril Chadwick and Ralph Lewis; The story deals with the ne-er-do-well son of a New York millionaire who eventually becomes a derelict in Shanghal. His fall and rise, the lat- tér influenced by a woman, make a narrative which offers a wealth of romance and all of the action neces- sary to a first rate picture. You must see Alberta Vaughan, Kit Guard, "Al ' Cooke, George O'Hara in the new series "The Go- Getters." The full-of-action, full-of- romance, full-of-thrills, full-of- drama two-reel featurettég that are taking the country by storm! See every one of them every Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday--don't let a single episode get away from you or you'll be missing the greatest kick of your life. Black Donald Mine Events. Black Donald Mine, Nov. 10: -- Hunters have made their appearance and carry away some fine game. Much sympathy is extended to Mr. and Mrs. Charles De Lannidr in the loss of their infant son, Rennie, The remains were taken to Mount Saint Patrick for burial. Mr. Bradley was called from Ottawa on business here Saturday. Mr. and Mre. Wil liam J. McCumber have returned after spending the week in Wagar- ~ville. Mrs. Frank Tennion is visit- ing her parents at Matawatchan. Mr. Tulford, Calabogie, was here on Saturday. L. Pearson, Mrs. H. So' via, Mr. and Mrs. Ard. Wagar, Mr. and Mrs. William R.

Queen's, Intercollegiate rugby champions, were the guests of the University of Syracuse on Saturday afternoon at the game between the Syracuse and Niagara College, play- ed at Syracuse, N.Y. The contest was a preliminary for the event of the rugby season between Colgate and Syracuse, which is slated for Saturday next." The Queen's men were given an opportunity to com- pare the American game with that bplayed on this side ofthe line, in which. the local university gaidiron representatives have proved them- selves so outstanding. The boys re- port that they enjoyed themselves immensely, the trip having broken the-grind of a strenuous rugby sea- gon. Coach W. P. Hughes accom- panied the team to Syracuse. It is reported in Syracuse that the hockey team is planning to invade Canada for a series of games with Canadian universities before the opening of the Intercollegiate sche- dule. The Tickets Are Here. The Queen's Athletic Board of Control announced on Monday morn- ing that the tickets for the Queen's- Hamilton Tiger game in Toronto on Saturday next had arrived here. It was stated that all those wishing tickets for the game had better get them at once as those remaining are to be sent back to Toronto on Thursday. J. 8. McDonell, secretary of the Athletic Board of Conmtrol, went to Toronto on Sunday for the purpose of arranging matters in connection with the game. The tickets went on sale on Mon- day morning and there was quite a rush for them. - The prospects are that there will be a big crowd of students go to the game, and take advantage of the $6 rate, which in- cludes a ticket to the game, How Toronto Will Howl Toronto Star: The Hamilton news- papers say that Toronto will root for Queen's against Tigers. Not by a long shot. Toronto fans think "Varsity were badly out-bucked last Saturday against Queen's and will be sitting up and cheering the an- ¢ient enemy against Queen's. Why? That is easy. A Toromto crowd al- ways wants to see champions trounc- ed. That is a characteristic of To- ronto sporting crowds frequently re- marked by outside visitors. w pn No Good For 's. Once again the freshman rule was brought up at the Intercollegi- ate Athletic Union - meeting and once again it was dropped because of the strong opposition of Queen's. McGill and U. of T. with their great registration, could well stand it, but it would mean the end of success in senior major sports for Queen's. At It Again. Kingston fans are getting accus- tomdd to seeing Chew, the Chinese boy athlete from Peterboro, in com- petition against Kingston teams. Chew played on the junior O.H.A. team which Circle-Six eliminated 14st year in the semi-final, played on the Lakeviews, which eliminated Circle-8ix from the junior baseball running smd on the PCL rugby team which eliminated K.C.I. Sat- urday. He was at flying wing and turned in a good game. MoGill Took Soccer. McGill University won the senior intercollegiate association football tournament held at R.M.C. Friday and Saturday, As previously an- nounced, R.M.C. defeated Varsity in the first game 4 to 3 after twenty minutes of overtime and thereby provided a big surprise. On Satur- day, McGill defeated RMC. 4-0, Seaton, the captain of the Montreal- ers, sending in three goals in the first half. The McGill men were too experienced for the local cadets, though they put up a great battle. The officials were: Capt. A. 8. Lee and E. Warburton, Kingston, and L.

It is now thought that Hamilton, led by Dr. Charlie Stewart, and present holders of the Allan Cup, may again enter the senior O.H.A. in spite of their serious lozses. There is talk of one of the Brown boys from this city turning out with them. Some Demands. Hamilton Tigers are demanding that neither Isbister mor O'Brien of the intercollegiate referees be allow- ed to officiate in next Saturday's game with Queen's. The Tigers want Dr. Cy. Flannagan and some of the O.R.F.U. men to handle the game. That's hardly fair. Flanagan would likely be acceptable to Queen's but an intercollegiate man should be included as well as an Interprovin- cial, Canadian Rugby Finals. Secretary Bobby Hewitson of the Canadian Rugby Union, announced last night that all arrangements had peen made for the sale of tickets for the first of the Canadian senior play offs which will be staged at Varsity Stadium next Saturday with Queen's, Intercollegiate champions and present holders of the Canadian title and Hamilton Tigers, Interpro- vineial champions, The sale to the Toronto public will commence at noon today. About 1,880 tickets have been sent to Kingston, while Hamilton has been allotted 3,000 and the chances aré that both the visiting teams will send in requests for more tickets before the week is over. : President Eddie Chown of Winni- peg (formerly of Kingston) has re- quested President John DeGruchy of the O.R.F.U., to agt for him in mak- ing the arrangements for the game and he has called a meeting for this afternoon at which the officials for next Saturday's game will be ap- pointed. The victory of the Winni- peg Victorias over the 50th Batta- lion of Calgary, ii Winnipeg on Sat- urday, means that the 'Wastern Can- ada Union will be again represented in the final, the schedule for the se- ries being: Nov. 22.--Queen's (Intercollegi- ate) v. Hamilton Tigers (Interpro- vineial). Nov. 29.--Balmy Beach. (Ontario) v. winner of game on Nov. 32, Dec. 6.--Winnipeg Victorias (Western Canada) v. winner ot game on Nov. 29. _All three games will be played at Varsity Stadium.
