TUESDAY NIGHT'S CARNIVAL A Fair Attendance of Spectators and Skaters. but very l'ew mm -â€"The Championship Race not Can- cluded in Consequence of a Foul. In consequence of the cold and stormy weather of the past few days the fancy dues carnival In the Victoria skating rink Tuesday evening was not the success anticipated. the number In cos- tume belng smell, and as a result the j udgee decided that It would be unfair to award any of the priz 39, Probably four hundred spectators wItv nessed the championship race between M. McLean, cf Orillia. and T. Nata-ass. of Medoc. In the first beat neither of the men exerted themselves till near the end, when McLean undertook to act the pace for his opponent. but lost his footing on the last lap and Nata-ass was awarded the best. Both men were guilty of fouls, and the judges coneidered honors to be even. The time for the mile was 3m. 10:. In the second heat Natlrass took the lead. and held it till near the end of the 13th lap, when M-Lsen sported and passed Net- trsss. The letter then sported deep. rately and csssyed to pass McLean by luking the Inner side. at the corner, thcb he had no right to do, and when close abreast be shoved McLean, sending him against the boards. Nettrsss finished the lap and claimed the race, but the judges refused to allow the beat, and Nattraes left the Ice In a bufi', stating that be was not receiv- Ing fair pls ...... Between the heats men- tioned a ti t-hclders’ mile race was run. which was won by ’1‘. Brady In the slow time of 4:). Bobby Bell.

Next morning Mr. Nsttrsss signified his willIngnees to race McLean for a $2.5 medal, on condition that he be allc wed to select two of the judges. This was agreed to by McLean. and the recs will take place In the rink here on this (Friday) evening. It will be a “hot" one. â€" Railway Notes â€"Tbe prospects are that Lindsay will shortly have a faster and more c: nveuisnt train service between this town and TJ- route. Mr. W. E. Davis, the general pes- senger agent of the G. T. R. has recently been over this division, and we understand the result will be that Lindsey will In the near future have a train that will reach the city much earlier In the day. thereby giving those having business to trensuct In the city considerably longer time. Mr. Davis In an :9 coats railroad men, and recognizes the fact that the people of this section must have faster trains to keep tbcmwelleetleficd. --WbItby Chronicle: The cltls;ns of Ru Parry do not look with favor on the report that Conductor McMillan‘e train may be cancelled in the near future. It rscticaily will amount to this: That the . T. R. omce here will only amount to u we station, where very little business wIl. be done, where now a very large busi- ness Is done. rtquiriug the time of two In the station and one outside. If the order Is carried lutc effect It will be the means of turnlug a large trade Into the hands of the C. P. R. at Myrtle. Already there Is talk of n ‘ous line being started If the G. T. R. carry out their suicidal policy of cancel- ling those trains. The municipalities concerned should take prompt action and try and prevent such an order being car- ried out. Whitby, Port Perry and Reach townships have paid too much money to that railway to be treated In such a way by the Grand Trunk. -â€"On Monday there came Into fczce outbe G. T. R. system a new method of dealing with bicycles. The circular outlining the alteration Is signed by W. E. Davis. gen- eral pt agent, and G. T. Belt, his assistant. n fuLure wheelmen will be subjected to s. tsrlfi‘ whkh Is to vary with the amount of fore they pay. For Instance I! e ticket costs from $260 to 8280 a fee (f 25 cents will be charged for Irnnepcrz- lnu the passenger's wheel; from $7 51 to G135th fee Is 50 cents; from 81! 71 to 12.50 75 cents; from $15.86 to $16.70. 81; from 8:50 to $30.85, $125- from 824 2| re 325 3150. and from $2931 to :30. 8180. If the fare exceeds 830 the fee will be six per cent. of the IOWeeb limited. fir.t-« sis fare. Bicycles will forwarded on pus-eu- ger trains only when the passenger accom- panies them. and only one wIll be snowed each traveller. Grated machines weighing over 250 pounds will not be carried on passenger trains. â€"Acheugelstobemsdeln the locomo- five depsrtmeut of the G. T. R.
