curlers were obliged to play anywhere they could get ice.For a long time the river was used, rinks being made near the Grand Trunk Railway Bridge, and all along the front of the city.The canal was also utilized.Up to the year 1870, the Montreal Curling Club continued to play in the different places mentioned in the foregoing paragraphs.In that year they managed to secure Lord Mount

the leader of the Metis.lasted for upwards of four days, took place in May, 1885, and was rendered noteworthy, not only from the fact that it marked the end of the insurrection, but because of the gallant charge of the Midland Regiment and the Royal Grenadiers of Toronto.With respect to this charge, Major-General Middleton wrote in his official despatches: \u2014 \u201cTwo companies of the Midland battalion, sixty men in all, under Lieut.- Group of Austrian women residing near Sheno, Sask.Col, Williams, of Port Hope, were extended on the left, and moved up to the cemetery, and the Royal Grenadiers of Toronto, two hundred strong, under Lieut.-Col.Grasett, prolonged the line to the right beyond the church, the 90th Rifles of Winnipeg being in support.The Midland and the Grenadiers, led by Lieut.-Cols, Williams and Grasett, and the whole led by Lieut.-Col.Van Straubenzie in command of the brigade, then dashed forward with a cheer and drove the enemy out of the pits in front of the cemetery and the ravine to the right of it, thus clearing the angle at the turn of the river.During all this time a heavy fire was kept up from the other side of the river, which The battle, which

Lieut.-Col.Williams on the extreme left.The Midland Regiment and Grenadiers kept pushing on, gallantly led by Celonels Van Straubenzie, Grasett and WL- liams, until they held the edge of the bluffs surrounding the left part of the plain, where the houses were.At this period one of the Winnipeg Battery guns was got into position where it could shell the houses on the plain, but AGAINST THE DESECRATION OF THE OLD FORTS.A meeting was held very recently in the Mess Room of the 13th York Sergeants, 551 Queen West, Toronto, of the Batoche Column Association, Sergeant Tilley in the chair.The room was crowded to its utmost capacity with representatives of the 12th York Grenadiers, G.G.B.G., Artillery, Infantry Schaol corps, etc.and it was unanimously resolved to oppose every candidate for

prolong the line of attack, and eventually the Surveyor\u2019s Scouts, Boulton\u2019s Mounted .Infantry, and French\u2019s Scouts were brought down for the purpose of still further prolonging the line to the right.The Gatling was now ordered up in front of the 90th to take the houses in flank, which was gallantly done by Lieut.Rivers, of \u2018A\u2019 Battery, and Captain Howard, and after a few volleys, a general advance was made with rattling cheers, and the whole of the houses were taken, the prisoners released, and the position eventually captured.Lieut.-Col, Wil- Grasett came prominently to my notice from the gallant way in which they led and cheered their men on the left, rush by rush, until they gained the houses on the plain, the former having commenced the rush, died in defence of our country, and the secretary, Sergeant Allan, was instructed to appeal through the press to every man, woman and child, with any love of country in them, to fight against the street railway being allowed to run through and destroy the Old Fort which is the one historical spot of interest in Toronto, ét, => NEW PLAY MET WITH POPULAR SUCCESS.\u201cMamselle Sallie,\u201d the new play by Robert

Southern Russia, where the sun rose as totality was ending.It passed over the northern part of the Caspian Sea, where totality began at sunrise, and then over the Aral Sea and through Russian Turkestan, Samarkand being the principal town on the shadow track.Then it passed through the Pamirs and into Central Asia, through the desert of Gobi, and finally ended on the River Amur,where totality commenced at sunset, The Hamburg Observatory sent an expedition to Samarkand, where it joined forces with the astronomers of Asia, Dr.Sven Hedin, visited it twice on his famous Thibetan expedition.On the outward journey, after passing Samarkand to Tashkend, where he had hig chronomoters regulated at the observatory, he returned southward as far as Chernyayeva, to take the train in its course from Samarkand to An- dishan.The route, he says, lay through the fertile valley of Ferghana, among orchards, gardens, and fields, sometimes along the banks of a river, with hills and mountains to the south, so that no doubt a convenient position could be found for observing.Since his journey a new line of railway has been opened from Orenberg to Tashkend, which renders it of

ntings, The idea of standardizing cut, garniture, color and fabric is to receive a distinct re-arrangement in favor of more artistic and freer treatment of woman\u2019s attire from a new and more artistic viewpoint.The novel, the beautiful, the ideal, the classic, will all have a vogue in the particular choice of the woman best fitted for the style.These styles are not likely to be concurrent.They will compel the employment of a constantly changing and growing array of fabrics and weaves.From plaids and checks to stripes, a step further to swivels, then broches, and thence into the field of Persians, and color effects and contrasts, Materials in the classic weaves in old weaves with new finishes, softer, finer, better and cheaper as well, will call the attention of the world of fashion.te ORR XR A Touch of Color In the Trimming.It is remarkable how very frequently may be noted a touch of color in the trimming of French models.This spring it will be green, It does not at all form the entire garniture, nor does it, in the slightest, correspond with the color of the material composing the toilette, nor even that of the trimming, and though at first sight it appears to have no business there, the result is rather good than otherwise, The latest novelty in the way of trimming is a very large and quite Hat velvet chou placed in the centre of the back half-way up.It serves as a termination to the decollete when this is cut in pointed form, or for high dresses, whatever may be the garniture, such as the aforesaid bertha arrangement just described.On dresses of dark or medium tint, it is of the same color as the material, but in light or white dresses the velvet employed is generally black.The idea is at least original, \\ *% x XR For the Coming Season.But this is not for to-day; the coming season, however, may see its start.Nothing is more fashionable than the bertha, which is considered a correct trimming for both high and low dresses.But it is extremely rare that this sort of adornment follows the same line in the back as it does in the front, where it falls very low over the figure in a more or less rounded movement, while in the back it often forms a \u201cV,\u201d reaching to the waistline, or only halfway down the figure, te XB XR A Dress of Rosewood Tint.® A dress worn by Mlle, Sorel, at the Theatre Francais, is of rosewood tint, with trimmings of self-colored passementerie and mousseline de soie, The foot of the skirt and also the corsage are further adorhed by old-pink and gray ribbons.There would appear to be nothing in this toilette necessitating the introduction of green, and yet we find a touch of it in a draped green velvet band encircling the throat.Very fashionable also are all these shades of rosewood and bordeaux, under which head divers deep, rich tints of red are classed, while among light colors we may give pastel-blue and almond- green as being the most favored.The vogue of all these seems likely to be of some duration as among spring toilettes in preparation for the Riviera.Lace waists and wraps of all descriptions are strongly indicated for spring and summer.Snags.It Ag.3 cli BEAUTIFUL

productive of successes; at least from the box-office viewpoint, In fact, there have been more genuinely good plays seen in this four months than New York has been treated to in a full season in many years, Personal successes, too, among actors have been many.Some well- known players and tried favorites who have been before the public so many seasons that they have become positive institutions, have done the best work this year in their careers\u2014that is, as nearly as we can remember, The most notable play of the year is undoubtedly \u201cThe Great Divide,\u201d by William Vaughn Moody.Many persons have taken exception to the truth of its psychology, but its power few are unresponsive to.With Miss Anglin and Mr.Miller doing their very best work, it is an unqualified success.New York has been visited by five English players, all of whom have been warmly accepted by large and intelligent audiences.H.B.Irving and his wife, Dorothea Baird, were the first to

Robertson's great ability is seen in a new light as Shaw's Caesar, and his wife makes the wilful, savage girl, Cleopatra, very human and seductive.Miss Lena Ashwell is the most recent visitor from England.Although her play, \u201cThe Shulamite,\u201d has not achieved a repetition of its great English success, Miss Ashwell has personally demonstrated high powers of emotional acting, The most striking personal success has been made by Alla Nazimova, a Russian actress, who one year ago was playing with Paul Orleneff in her na- In November of this year she appeared in special matinees at the Princess Theatre in Ibsen\u2019s \u201cHedda Gabler\u2019 in English; a feat sufficiently remarkable in itself, as her study of English has consumed but a twelvemonth; but Miss Nazimova in one

Canadian Bank of Commerce, after seventeen years of service in that capacity.HE RETIREMENT OF SENATOR COX.\u2014Sena- tor Cox, who recently retired from the presidency of the Canadian Bank of Commerce, after seventeen consecutive years of service, is one of the greatest financiers in Canada.His resignation from this position was principally due to a promise he made his relatives some time ago that he would gradually withdraw from the activities of commercial life owing to his advanc- Ing age.His second ground is that, having occupied for a good many years a position of honor at the head of so great an Institution as the Bank of Commerce, it is only fair that he should resign in order that that honor should now be passed on to somebody else, es- pecially in view of the fact that the bank has arrived at such a splendid position in the country, and its solidity and future expansion are abundant.In the third place, his resignation from the presidency of the Bank will enable him to devote himself to the Canada Life and the Central Canada, which concerns have always occupied a foremost place in his mind.BISHOP OF ONTARIO.The Right Reverend William Lennox Mills, D.D., D.C.L.,,

the elections were held on March 6, and resulted in a victory for the principles which Sir John had enunciated.This campaign gave rise to the famous expression, penned by Sir John in the course of his last manifesto to the Canadian people, \u201cA British subject I was born: a British subject I will die.\u201d These patriotic words were subsequently chiselled on the marble bust of the great chieftain erected in his memory in St.Paul's Cathedral, London, Eng.Sir John was succeeded as Premier of Canada by (1) the Hon.Sir John Abbott; (2) by the Right Hon, Sir John Thompson; (3) by Sir Mackenzie Bowell, who was for many years Minister of Customs in the several administrations of which the great Conservative chieftain was head; and (4) by Sir Charles Tupper, who was associated with Sir John in the task of confederating the Canadian Provinces, > m= wm | The Progress and Development of Canada;

wealth of the State of New York more forcibly' illustrated than by the fact that the total amount \u2018of real estate which is exempt from taxation exceeds the total assessed wealth of twenty-five Of the remaining States in the Union.The following flgures were given recently by the New York Sun: \u201cNew York has $1,500,000,000 of real estate exempted from taxation.It has $185,000,000 represented in churches and church buildings.It has $150,000,- 000 in hospitals and charitable institutions.It has $100,000,000 in schoools, exclusive of $60,000,000 in colleges, universities, and other buildings, wholly devoted to the purposes of instruction.\u201cThe city of New York includes, of course, by far the largest proportion of these holdings, though in the matter of church property the land and buildings outside of the city of New York represent a total value of $75,000,000.\u201cThe Federal Government has $80,- 000,000 worth of land and buildings in the State of New York, of which $60,- 000,000 worth is in New York City and $6,500,000 worth in Buffalo.The State itself has $85,000,000 worth of property, land, and buildings throughout the State, \u201cThere is $60,000,000 of

that the bat- tallon must have some reputation for such practices already, seeing that a bad ragging case occurred while it was embodied during the Boer war.\u201cDuring the training of the battalion at Gosport in 1905, and again at Shorncliffe during the present year,\u201d says.Truth, \u201cthere have been bad cases of \u2018ragging\u2019 The sport seems to have taken the usual forms of

was forced to drink liquor until he was helplessly drunk, He was subsequently transferred to another battalion as lieutenant, although he had been only a second lieutenant in the East

The making of art bronzes, the origin of sculpture in bronze, dates back to the earliest history of humanity.The great chef-d\u2019oeuvres, or antiques, come from the Greeks and also the Romans; but after the invasion of the Roman Empire by the Barbarians, a period of obseurity occurred in the Art history of Europe.The regeneration of Art began in Italy, the century in which it occurred being known as the century of the Italian Renaissance.In France, King Francois I., desirous of associating his name with the history of Art, summoned Italian artists, notable among them being the great Benvenuto Cellini, who enriched the Palace of Fon- tainbleau with works of high merit.Association with the minds and works of Italian masters awakened the dormant taste of the French Art world.Jean Goujon and Germain Pilon appeared as the founders of the French school, in which bronze modelling holds an important place, and during the reign of Louis XIV.Minister Louvois established the Arsenal Foundry.During the period of the First Empire the interpretation of the ancient school of bronze art produced work of a secondary order.Towards 1830 a new artistic impulse was felt ; but real progress dates from a period nearer to our time.The art of bronze work has attained its present high degree of perfection through the inspiration of Rude, of David (d\u2019Angers), and de Barye, who were the first among modern artists to achieve distinction in this line.The name of Ferdinand Barbedienne has achieved distinction in the world of art industry.To him is chiefly due the harmony and co-operation now existing between art and its mechanical or industrial expression, permitting a satisfactory realization of the creative genius of the artist.Mr.Barbedienne was quick to realize the value of the Collas process for the reduction of sculptural works, permitting him to place in the homes of the public artistically reduced models of antique and modern statuary.Like many other men of will and courage, Mr.Barbe- dienne was a self-made man.He was born in 1810, in Saint Martin-de-Fresnay, a small village of Normandy.His parents, humble farmers, sent him in 1822 to Paris to a saddler, to whom he was apprenticed.After a short period with this employer, he next found occupation with a stationer and dealer in colored \u201cGrand Cup, Louis XV.\u201d by Aristide Veilland.papers.His apprenticeship was here faithfully filled during a period of four years.From this period the young man was clerk in different establishments of a similar nature, while he was always remarked for his assiduity to productions of ancient and modern masterpieces of statuary which had previously been known chiefly to those who could visit the great collections of art treasures.Notwithstanding the approval these reductions met with \u201cThe Syren,\u201d by Danis Puech.work, his good will, and high order of intelligence ; so much so that one of his employers having a high regard for him, assisted him with funds to start business on his own account.The colored paper house thus founded by Mr.Barbedienne took first honors at the start in this business.In 1833, during the Romantisme epoch, Mr.Barbedienne, a passionate admirer of the masterpieces of sculpture, dreamed of uplifting the expression of art in bronze.Up to 1839 his dream was not realized ; however, by chance, he came across a humble working mechanie, Achille Collas, who, without education, but endowed with inventive genius, had constructed a marvellous instrument, by the aid of which statuary could be reproduced in miniature with mathematical exactness.Mr.Barbedienne availed himself of this without hesitation.This was the starting point of the Maison Barbedienne, whose reputation is now world-wide.The advent of Achille Collas\u2019 invention was one of the most important facts of the century in the world of art industry, making it possible to place in the home faithful re- House of Ferdinand Barbedienne Whose creations in Art Bronze have made their establishment at 30 Boulevard Poisonniere, Paris, France, the objective point of the world\u2019s visitors in quest of Art in Bronze by the Masters.In the midst of unparalleled difficulties, which would have discouraged those less enthusiastic, Mr.Barbedienne built model workshops, equipped with perfected tools, and assembled round him a group of artists and workmen, capable of achieving the most artistic and exact results.No one except Mr.Barbedienne has united the manufacture of the several branches of bronze making from the foundry, where the bronze is received in ingots, to the gilding room, which is the last phase where pass all figures, vases, clocks, or other articles before delivery to the public.Mr.Barbedienne has under one roof all the several departments for the production of his well-known art creations, such as modelling, carving, mounting, turning, engraving, and other branches.Everything is under the eye of the master, whose taste is impressed upon all the works of this establishment.We must not forget the sculptor\u2019s studio, which holds such an important part in the productions of this famous house, under the able management of Mr.Constant Seoin, a master of art, whose conceptions, so varied, fill the showrooms of the house of Barbe- dienne and initiate us into the \u201cMinerva\u2019s Chariot,\u201d by Frennet, on their first appearance, it was only after many and varied experiences that success crowned the efforts of the originators of this unique undertaking._ - EE art of the sixteenth century.In the treatment of metals, Mr.Barbedienne has made enormous progress, and his method supercedes entirely the old style of working, and The Proprietors extend a hearty welcome to Canadians when Paris to view their showrooms, situated at 30 Boulevard Poisonn Paris, and will be pleased to receive communications from privat duals interested in Art Bronzes, or from public officials erection of Monuments in Bronze, to perpetuate in hist \u2018prominent in the Arts and Sciences, or who have in to the fame of the (reat Dominion of Canada, \u2014\u2014 \u201cD\u2019Orphe in Pain,\u201d by Raoul Veilet.preserves the fine lines of the artist\u2019s finished model in every respect.In addition to this particular feature, many other improvements, too numerous to mention here, are the pride of this immense establishment.The number of skilled workmen trained in this school is to-day over 600, who, with the example and assistance of the master, have contributed to the upbuilding of this grand bronze industry, and saved it from the discredit into which it had fallen; demonstrating one of those industrial victories costing neither blood nor tears.By competition, Mr.Barbe- dienne has shown his super- lority, occupying the first place and winning the highest honors of the Vienna Exposition, and receiving the Cross of the Commander of the Legion of Honor.Mr.Barbedienne\u2019s services have always been rendered with an entire devotion to art, having received publie appreciation from competitors, which is hard to obtain from confreres, in proof of which we reproduce from the report of the Exhibition of 1878, on working metals, the authorized statement made by that well-known Master Goldsmith, Mr.Falize, Jr.: \u2018\u2018Barbedienne is to-day one \u201cof the glories of France; he \u2018\u2018occupies the summit of \u2018In- \u2018\u2018dustrial Art,\u2019 a place univer- \u2018\u2018sally envied.There is not in \u2018\u2018any profession in any coun- \u2018try a man who, by the \u2018\u2018\u201csame means, has achieved \u2018\u2018such renown; he will enjoy \u2018\u201c\u2018during his lifetime this pure \u2018\u201cglory which is rarely the \u2018\u2018privilege of master workmen \u2018during their lifetime.\u201d\u2019 FTER the death of Mr.F.Barbedienne, his nephew and late partner, Mr.Le- Blanc Barbedienne, assumed full charge of this house, to which he had contributed so much success.In keeping with his predecessors, he retains the services of the most prominent artists of the time, such as : Frennet, Rodin, Marquette, Denys, Puech, Alfred Boucher, Gasq: also the celebrated Russian sculptor, Antocolsk : Mr.LeBlanc Barbedienne has not devoted all his time to the development of interior de- - corations, but has also secured a reputation in the designing of monuments.Under his critical direction, several memorials have been executed, among the chief being : Victor Hugo\u2019s monument at Paris, by Barrias ; Ferdinand De Lesseps\u2019 gigantic statue of Suez, by Frennet ; the Bronzes which decorate the Are de Triomphe: and recently the equestrian statue of Col- Howard, by Frennet.Mr.LeBlanc Barbedienne has exhibited at all the international exhibitions, and has everywhere received the highest awards.CUS visiting iere, at e indivi- contemplating the ory the individual the past contributed & LH po» & £ 2e ee r= "]
