The Richmond Hill correspondent of The \Voi-ld on Friday gave a thrill- ing account of a bear having been seen crossing angc street opposite San- dcrson‘sdrug store late Tuesday night. Few people who read The “Torld would be surprised to learn of a griz- zly bear from the wilds of the north making his appearance at the corner of King (it Yoiige Sts., Toronto. Newspapers like The. Globe and "he Mail-Empire are lacking in enterprise when compared with The “’oi-ld. It. has been suggested that when the Richmond liiil bear is caught it. should be taken to the taxiderinists and the Served as a relic of what was seen in the closing year of the 19th century. Others say, however, it is an easier task to stuff the \Vorld man. A WAR NUMBER. To commemorate the part played by Canadian soldiers in South Africa, The Canadian Magazine has issued a “ “'ar Number ” (August). The color- ed cover represents “The Canadian Soldiers of the Queen,” while the numerous illustrations addto this idea. “ The Maple Leaf in South Africa " is the title of the article which gives in detail the movements of the various Canadian contingents in South Africa. “ The Bat tle of Paardeberg " is graph- ically described by a. Canadian eye- witness. “Three Sieges and Three Heroes,” describes the famous de- fences made by Sir George White, Col. Kekewich and Maj-Gen. Baden- inell. “A Short History of the Boer \Var ” gives a complete summary of the. great campaign. There are other features, notably an article on “British Columbia Politics,” by T. L. Grahine, with many photographs of the leading men of the province, a short story by Robert Bar-rand a poem by Arthur J. Stringer. FICTION NUMBER. ‘ The brilliant August number of Frank Leslie's Popular Monthly, which is the regular Midsummer Fiction Number-of this periodical, may fairly be. called an epoch-making achieve- ment in ten-cent magazine literature. A summary glance. at its table of con- tents serves tojustify this claim. Here in a single number are included stories by F. Itopkiiison Smith, A. Conan Doyle, Mary E. \Vilkins, Edgar Faw- (‘( tt, Alix John. Marietta. Holly (“ .Io- siah Allen‘s “'ife”). and R. 1L Mun- kittrick: illustrated articles by the, Infanta Eulalie of Spain, Capt. Robt.

Every car fi om the north and south was crowded to - its utmost capacity. In fact the iiiâ€" suli‘ieient ar-coiiimodation was the only weak point of the whole undertaking. Anxious «Xi-iirsionists who could not get room to go on the regular car at and people from the north were simi- larly treated. Then again although the concert closed at 10.15 hundreds of the visitors had to wait until 12 o‘clock before they could get a car to take them home. Everybody was delight- ed with the entertainment given by the British Canadian liaiid and the musicians were enthusiastically ap- plauded after every selection. Their pieces Were Well selected for the assem- ly, and part of the program consisted of a class of music that ordinary bands would not attempt to play. The grounds- and pavilion were brilliantly illuminated Willi electric light and the, surroundings looked lovely. It is es- tiniated that nearly 200!) people enter- ed the gates dui iiig the evening. LACROSSE MATCH. On Saturday, the 135th nit... the St. Michael‘s lacrosse team jour- neycd to Richmond ilill to )lay an ex- hibition game and were badly beaten by a score of 9 to 1. In the 1st game. Richmond Hill started out with a rush and scored in one minute but in the next two games St l‘ilichat-l‘s got their bearings and held our men for 11 and 22 minutes respectively. From the 4th until the end of the. ni-itch Rich- mond Hill had the beat of the play and their superior condition easily won for them the match. For Richmond Hill the defence was invincible and Mich~ ael in the field did lll'siel‘fli‘”. This is Jack's iii-st. match and with practice he will make some of the, older players hustle. For St. Michael‘s their goal keeper stopped many accurate shots and but for him the. score would easi- ly have. been doubled. The best of feeling was displayed throughout the match although at the close several of the. players on both sides bore. eviden- ces of cuts and bruises. During the play Frank Sims got, a fractured rib, and John Glass received a. cut above the lip which necessitated a couple. of stitches. The visitors took their .1. 9..

The following is a summary of the games 2â€"1, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, and 10th won by Richmond in 1, 22, l, 3, 2, 5.25, l and 4 minutes respectively. 2nd game. won by St. Michael‘s in 11 min. BRITISH CANADIAN BAND. The British Canadian Band'under the direction of Mr. Arthur Hughes went over the line. of the llletropolitan Railâ€" way Friday evening and stopped at tlee principal towns and villages be- IWeen the city and Newmarket. As they wcie‘late in starting, their time was limited in this place and the. musi- cians played only a couple of pieces opposite. the Palmer House. Seotch Selections and other catchy airs were played as the car passtd Bond's Lake and other places along the way, and another pause was made at the Queens Hotel, Aurora. The next stop was made at a. point where the railway track leaves Yonge street for New- market, and here opposite his summer residence the band played “ For He’s a Jolly Good Fellow ” in honor of Hon. “'m.Mulock,Postmaster General. At Newniarket a. tremendous crowd was waiting to receive the party and a half hour’s program was given to the enjoyment of all. But the Newmark- et people were not satisfied, for when the band started southward they were followed by another well-tilled car to hear a continuation of the program at Aurora where hundreds 'of people lined the four corners of Yongc and \Vellington streets. Richmond Hill was reached shortly before 12 o’clock and a. few more short selections play- ed for those of our citizens who pre- ferred enchanting music to restful sleep. Mr. Noyes, manager of the road. accompanied the party and suc- ceeded in making everything agree- able both for the musicians and the few favored ones who were asked to take the delightful trip. It' the idea of the outing was to advertise the moonlight excursion, and the concert given by the same band at Bond’s Lake last evening, the management succeeded admirably, as those who hear the musical organization once would be anxious to hear them again. “I ii'l' I53.
