INSPECTED BARRIEFIELD CAMP THURSDAY MORNING i | Hon F. B. McCurdy Was Well Pleas- ed 'With What He Saw--He Could Not Tell How Many Soldiers Would Winter In Kingston, Hon F. B, McCurdy, Under Secre- tary of War for Canada, and Major- General Hodgins, Aajutant-General, madé an inspection of the three bat- talions at Barriefield and afterwards Mr. McCurdy, in an interview with the Whig, said: "I do not claim ¢o have much ability as a military inspecting officer but those men certainly looked good on that march-past." After speaking about the appear- ance of our soldiers, Mr. McCurdy "was asked as to what information he could give on recruiting and as to the wintering of troops. "The public does not realize how fast recruits are coming in and they seem to forget that from now there will be an increase," he replied. "There are some 1, 500 men being enlisted every week.' Mr, McCurdy wouid give no infor- mation about the wintering of troops, stating that his position as acting Minister of Militia was only while the minister was away. To music by the 155th Battalion band, Mr. McCurdy, Major-General Hodgins, Brig.-Gen. T. R. D. Hem- ming, G.O.C., W. F. Nickle, M.P., and Dr. J. W. Edwards, M/P., saw the 154th, 155th and 156th Battalions march by. There were also in the line the men of No. § F.C.C.E., the Army Service Corps and Queen's Field Ambulance, The brigade, under Col, G. Hunter Oglivie, with Lieut.- Col. W. J. Brown, G.S.0. and Major R. D. Ponton in command, certainly did itself credit, Afterwards the inspecting party drove in automobiles to the School of Signalling, Scuool of Bombing, Field Hospital, YM.C.A., etc., at the camp and then visited the convales- cent homes and the fort, and finished by inspecting the cadets of the'Royal Military College, Hin Bivouac And Barracks (See also Page 9.) That a draft from "A" and "B" companies of the 93rd (Peterborough County) Battalion is now in France is apparent from information receiv- ed, This batalion went overseas in the summer from Barrifield camp. Mrs. J. R. C. Dobbs arranged a splendid programme. for the soldiers in the military Y.M.C.A. tent on Wednesday evening. Major G.I. Campbell, chief recruit- ing officer for military district No. 3, was in the city on Wednesday, and announced that the department had secured the old Lockett shoe store on Princess street, and will use it as a depot recruiting office for the city. An officer will be appointed to take charge, and men will be able to en- list here for all branches of the ser- ice. G. W. Fisher, military Y.M.C.A. secretary, leaves on Thursday next for England to take up overseas work. Snf-------- WE PAID $3.50' A CASE, An Answer to a Strange Inquiry in an Orange Case. "We paid, $3.50 for the case and received them in good condition," was the answer written to R. F. Binns, Hood River, Oregon, by T. Pearson; of the Y.M.C.A. staff In an- swer to a peculiar inquiry, The question was asked by placing a big piece of cardboard in the bottom of the case of oranges, which read: "Will the buyer of this case please {they were in," with the address fol- lowing. This enterprising farmer is evidently curious to know just how big are the profits reaped by the middle man. WOUNDED SECOND TIME. Pte. Frank Stndon as Shot in the Left F Mathias Stinson, 19 apa William street, received word that his son, Frank, had been wounded in the left foot about ten days ago, and is now in a general hospital in France. This is the second' time that Pte, Stinson has been wounded. Some time ago he was injured in the hand, but recovered. Pte.

Mr. and Mrs. John Gleeson, King street west, received a cable from their som, Leo 'Gleeson, announcing the e arrival in England of the 13th oe. He is with Queen's Battery, which form a part of the -- T "Everywoman." | One of the big features of the scenic splendors of "Everywoman," the huge dramatic spectacle which Henry W. Savage will offer here shortly, is a representation of the riotous revelry of a New York crowd on Broadway on New Year's Eve. To |i} approach realism in his production, |i Mr. Savage had Walter Burridge, his scenic artist, and George Marion, his stage director, visit the congested portion of "The Gay White Way" for the purpose of absorbing atmosphere as the clock was striking the hour at!' the birth of the new year. In this|j scene nearly one hundred and fifty people are employed. "The Bohemian Girl." The coming of the Aborn Opera Company in their spectacular pro- the" Grand for Friday and Saturday evenings and Saturday matinee, is heralded as one of the important{}§ events, dramatically as well as musie- ally, among the features introduced || in the Aborn production of "The Bo-|§ hemian Girl," and formerly unknown |} to this opera are the "Ballet of thel} Hours," the fair scene in which are introduced the Tzigani Troupe, said this country, an encampment of genu- 3 and breaking camp with caravan, dogs, geese, pigs, chickens and other animals exploited by these Nomads and other novelties, At the Strand. For to-night, Friday Saturday the vaudeville consists | | of Budd Holloway in a re- fined novelty musical aet. He per- | forms on musical dises, hat rack, funnels, four-in-hand bell ringing, lyre, harp and also Scotland's na- tional music, the bag pipes. This is sure to please, The photo play end of the bill, Bese Love and De Wolf Hopper, in a1 g five-act drama, 'Stranded," two-part Keystone comedy, "A Social Club." At Griffis Grifiin's. To be a circus clown was the boy- hood ambition of Victor Moore, the popular Laski comedian, and when a small boy he ran away from home gigantic sum of five dollars a week and board was permitted to wear the morning and sell peanuts to the au- circus career lasted for three weeks, when his father finally located him, and after a brief woodshed confer- | ence drove all desires for circus life out of the young man's head.

Laski"s production of that thrill- ing photo drama, "The Clown,"|[} written especially by Marion Fairfax | and produced for the Paramount programme under the personal di- ||} rection of William C. DerMille. This be superior to éven 'his immortal} "Jimmie Fadden" picture. The Laski company has surrounded him with a caste of unusual excellence, includ- ing Thomas Meighan, Florence Dag- man, Ernest Joy, little Billy Jacobs, Gerald Ward and others. Another faeture of interest to all lovers of athletic sports and pastimes is Seli Athletic Weekly, showing the cham- pion lady tennis players in actual contests, also the championship box- |} ing and wrestling contests and that most fascinating game, pocket bil- liards, played by the leading players of the game. The vaudeville is The Harringtons, a team of clever sketch artists. LECTURERS ENGAGED FOR QUEEN"S SESSION Appointed Temporarily to Fill Posts Vacated by Pro- fessors in Khaki.
