Efforts have been made to

Tangos for the benefit of the
city hospital. It was suggested
that half of the match be played
with the rules of one club and
the other half under the rules
played by the other club, but so
far negotiations have failed to
get the mateh on. Objections
were raised on the score of rude
‘emarks made by some of the
spectators at the last match.
However, a match between two
picked ladies’ teams will be
played provided a_ satisfactory
rate can be secured for the rink.

meeting crowd-
ed St. Andrew's hall to the doors
on Thursday evening. It was a
bedlam, which everybody admit-
ted was the result of too much
polities in the militia. There
were less than a dozen speakers,
nearly all of them Conservative,
and there was a lot of dirty Tory
linen thrown into the suds. Tory
bossism stuck out prominently
in every phase of the meeting’s
proceedings. The meeting at
least gave the casual observer
plenty of evidence of the influ-
ence of the Tory boss in the dis-
bandment of Earl Grey’s Rifles.

A noisy public

several of the speakers and con-
tradicted by none.

The meeting was called by a
committee of prominent citizens,
for the purpose of giving the
public an opportunity of hearing
the facts concerning the dis-
bandment of the organization,
and for the purpose of discuss-
ing the justification of the ac-
tion if there is any justification.

On one side were the boys of
the militia corps, boys not ac-
customed to public speaking or
the wiles and pitfalls of polities.
They had a story to tell in their
own way of how politics had dis-
manded an organization they
they had spent years in bringing
to a state of efficiency. Against
them were arrayed the hecklers
who delight in interrupting pub-
lie speakers, the Tory boss and
his following, the element which
is opposed to all organized so-
ciety and several apologists who
took the platform and endeavor-
ed to belittle the charge of a
serious political crime. It was
noticeable that all of the speak-

ers who claimed to be satisfiea
with the disbandment are mem-
bers or ex-members of the Con-
servative executive.

At the conclusion of the meet-
ing an effort was made to pass a
resolution to circulate a petition
protesting against the disband-
ment of Harl Grey’s Rifles and
asking for the appointment of
Capt. Stork and Lieut. MeMordie
to the command ef the new regi-
ment. An amendment was of-
fered and on a show of hands it
was declared to be lost. The
counting was not satisfactory
and one had to size up the per-
sonnel of the two factions repre-
sented to get a conception of the
real feeling of the citizens on the
question.

The chairman of the meeting
was Mr. W. 8S. Fisher, an officer
on the reserve list of the Cana-
dian militia and a prominent
Conservative. He protested
against the disbandment of the
Karl Grey's Rifles, alleging party
politics to be the cause of it.
Such action was detrimental to
the militia of Canada and it was
a disgraceful and _ deplorable
proceeding to strip officers and
men of the uniform of the King
without cause. At the last in-
spection this company was pro-
nounced most efficient. The de-
partment of militia had forward-
ed official documents = stating
that Earl Grey’s Rifles were to
be formed into a four-company
battalion. Then a movement
was launched by some of the lo-
cal Conservatives which resulted
in the disbandment of the com-
pany. The men behind this had
