a

and

met
at
Kingston
to
frame

the
future

For
forty
years
after
that
period
lacrosse
grew
and
flourished,
but
some
fifteen
years
ago
the
game
showed
symptoms
of
losing
Its
popular

The
newer
generation
did
not
take
to
lacrosse
as
did
their
fathers
and
today
the
game
can
scarcely
Justify
Its
once
proud
title
of
Canada's
na

pastime.
In
winter
sports,
however,
another
form
of
athletic
endeavor
was'
born
In
the
middle
of
the
80's
and
has
now
largely
assumed
the
place
once
held
In
the
affections
of
the
public
by
la
crosse.
This
Is
hockey,
which
today
is
played
by
countless
organizations
from
coast
to

Another
development
by
no
means
confined
to
Canada
has
been
the
rise

Thousands
of

have
sprung
up.
There

INTtiRLMTEII
It
may
safely
be
said
that
the
period
f.mce
Confederation
has
witnessed
a
complete
reversal
of
the-
general
attl-I
tude
towards
outdoor
exercise
In
every
I
form.
In
the
days
of
the
union
of
the
1
provinces
and
for
many
year
thereafter
the
practice
of
athletics
was
confined
to
I
those
who
made
It
more
or
less
of
a
business
or
profession
and
to
a
very
small
percentage
of
the
general
public.
!
The
great
mass
of
the
pesple
were
content
to
look
on.
But
nowadays
the
urge
Is
for
active
participation
In
the
game
Itself
and
as
a
result
men
and
women
in
all
walks
of
life
and
almost,
of
all
ages
have
taken
up
some
form
of
athletic
exercise.
The
great-variety
of
games
provides
an
opportunity
for
all
to
take
part
In
some
suitable
sport.
Wheic
sixty
years
ago
there
were
but
one
or
two
forms
of
recognized"
outdoor

from

of

over

Chicago
tug-of-war
team
many
years

here
is

than

Now
there
was
In
Chicago
a
former
resident
of
West
Zorro
named
Wood
who
had
become
a
millionaire
and
who
olered
to
finance
the
Chicago
team
if
.they
would
ccme
over

Canada
and
pull
with
the

Zorroltes.

as

But
it
was
no

when
they

to
the
yokels.
They
went

they

J
the
Chicago
team
to
cross

border
and

once
more
on
their

ground.
They
came.
The
contest
took
place
at
Embro
and
more
than
one
man
now
resident
of
Prince
Rupert
will
remember
the
occasion.
Among
those
watching
the
match
were
Hon.
James
Sutherland,
afterward:
dominion
minister
of
public
works,
who
lost
f
5f0
on
the
team
at
Chicago
but
had
tVlce
that
amount
placed
on
thli
contest;
Hon.
Sir
Oliver
Mowat,
prime
minister
of
Ontario;
Sir
Oeorge
E.
Ross,
afterwards
prime
minister
of
Ontario;
Sir
Richard
Cartwrlght;
Andy
Pattullo,
M.L.A.,
uncle
of
the
present
member
for
this
district;
and
Mr.
Mackay
himself.
The
team
lined
up
and
6lowly
the
men
on
each
side,
big
men
and
muscu
lar,
leaned
In
and
put
their
weight
on
the
rope.
At

Chicago

It

ten
minutes
passed
and
the
line
moved

slightly

way.
Fifteen
and
twenty
minutes
and
the
muscles
of
the
brawny
giants
stood
out
as

thirty
minutes
and
still

side
held

and
It
seemed
as

Three
minutes
more
and
there
was
no
change
Then
a
bright
thought
struck
Ebcn
Sutherland,
the
captain
of
the
home
line.
In
Gaelic
he
spoke
to
the
leader
of
the
pipe
band
and
suggested
a
tune
to
cheer
the
boys,
i
The
pipers
Inflated
their
Instruments
and
at
the
first
note
the
rope
began
to
quiver.
Soon
It
was
seen
that
a
new
power
had
entered
Into
the
arms
of
those
brawny
Ontario
giants.
Their
sinews
tightened,
their
breath
came
evenly,
and
slowly
but
surely
the
rope
veered
In
their
direction
and
soon
the
contest
wr.s
won.
To
that
music
they
could
have
pulled
anything
on
earth.
Victory
was
theirs
and
It
was
won
by
he
music
of
the
bagpipe,
the
music
they
loved,
Mr.
Mftckay-
explains
