The widespread knowledge of the ex- cellence of British goods, the reputation of British traders for dealings, the supremacy British mereantile marine and other factors, he said, had operated strongly in favor of Great Britain, This strength, however, had led to certain weaknesses, to a conservatism of method and to over confidence in te inevitability of continued sheeess, ' On the whole, the German and American attack on the markets which would be served by the canal had met with some success tries the and square of the The faet that the United States, in spite of serious handicaps, had more than held its own in lcompetition pointed to an import fant advance.

Brady, principal of the High Sehool, were treated to an hour’s intellectual and in- structive entertainment such as it is seldom their privilege to enjoy. Mr. Brady, who is a typical [r- ishman bubbling over with irre- pressible humor, an excep- tionally well read and travelled man. He has visited most of the countries on the globe and being a peculiarly observant man his mind is stocked with a vast am- ount of varied information that coupled with his fascinating and eloquent style of delivery, makes him a lecturer of the very first order, After stating that a large number of slides showing views of different parts of the world he had visited had been broken avd rendered valueless whilst ir transit to Prinee Rupert, a pic- ture of himself taken in New Zealand whilst on a fishing ex- pedition was thrown on the screen.

Im- migration officials who sought to bar Mylius from the country al- leged that his offence was a cri- minal one, while attorneys for the editor argued that it was of a political nature.

THE GREATEST COUNTRY ON THE FACE OF THE GLOBE MR. J. A. BRADY DELIVERED AN INTERESTING AND INSTRUC- TIVE ADDRESS LAST NIGHT ON GREATEST CITY IN THE WORLD “LONDON,” the together with places of historic interest on the continent of Eu- rope, were shown in connection with the lecture. Such a wide and. diverse sub- ject as London, upon which vol- umes had been written, could necessarily only be touched on upon an occasion such as this. London, said Mr. Brady, was the greatest and most wonderful city on the faee of the earth to- day. No one who had not visited it could really understand the true meaning of Empire. It was as it were an epitome or synopsis of the Anglo-Saxon race. With- out a doubt London exercised the greatest power for good, and possibly also for evil, amongst the great human family that at present existed on the face of the globe. One was not able te grasp the full magnitude of what the city of London today, with its seven and three quarter millions of people, as many as in the whole of Norway and Sweden, or in i‘is vast Dominion, really mecat, He himself had spent two periods of a fortnight each at different times in the great city.
