Mellish’s Letter >
‘Lhe country we have paserd through is deaclate looking with rvgged mountaiss on every side. The bouses are of mud or stone or low structures, They are not very common. There are few trees, a stunted shrub appeering here and there. In come places there are crops of grain being harvested; there are two crope a year here. The feuces are all of stove or wire. A great many muies gre to be seen. A sbort time ago we paseed 300 ef them.
As we are passing through hoet’le ter- ritory we are not allowed to antwer any questions as to oursumbers or military movements. A few stations back, a Boer was trying to find out thisfrom us. At every bridge there is an encampment of soldiers with sentries on the alert for at- tempts to blow up or damage tke bridge. At every curve we have to slow up in case pny of the rails have been loosened, etc Io a shert time, if not already, an armored train will precede os, We have just slowed up, and I looked out to see the cause. [ find there isa steep embaukment on one side and some treschery is feared. The speed is now increased. We have just passed a great flock of ortriches with their young ones.
The Boers we meet atthe places along the line are very glum, but every camp cheers no in great atyle It is said the Boers are more afraid of voluateers than of regulara, a8 tbe former are considered be:ter marksmen. Yesterday a Boer pris- ener tried to escape from the traia ; he knocked dewn the sentry and broke his leg. The guard fired on the Boer, wound ing him in three placer, and recaptered him.

Letters From Mr. Full rton-
Care Town, St. Andrew’s Diy, Nov. 30, 1899.
My Dear Mr. James,—Justa word (1 am so rushed) to Say that to-morrow we leave for De Aar, which i8 @ very import ant janctionen rouie to Kimberley. We go to join Methueo’s division. The fight when actually commenced isto be sport, sharp aud decisive. The Island boys, from commandant to private, are jnbilaut at the proepect,; but if we fight some may not return. Thisthey know weli. Yet the ardor is increasing.
We join two Highland regimeats. What would St. Andrew’s men say tonight if they only knew this? I dare not con- jecture.
Cape Town is full cf sedition— the one, feature which mars au exquisite beauty and # beauty which is wholly exempt from avy artificial element.
The Boers have been guilty of the most atroegious outragee, such as hoisting the flag of truce, then sheoting our officer who went in response, firing in ambulao ces, a thiuguoheard of in civilized wars fare, :
[ must cloee, everybody is rushing. Islanders ali wish to be remembered with happiest recollections to friends at home.
By the way cables are all 60 hours late through same brak,they say at Zaezibar.

HOCKEY LAST NIGHT.
fenior Abbies Victorious—5 to 3- Intermediate Game Goes to Second Victorias 3 to 2
The bockey season in Coarloitetown
openrd last night with two of the best fought-ont geme* eyer witnessed here. The ice was most unfavorable to the
heekey ist, in the latter part of the evening pools cf water collecting in eeveral places. Notwithstanding this, excellent p'ay was
putup. The number of spectators was verv large for such weather. When the teams lived up the Abegweite
bad certainly ithe better prospecis for victory, being heavier men geverally and veierans. The Vicicrias were almost the same as ever and appeareda very etrong team. The relatiye values of the two were fully demonstrated inthe game that was to tollow, and the difference is very siigit. There was not very much brilliant com- bination play, but what there was showed the decided superiority of the Abegweite. The wonderful activity o: the Victorias’ forwards called for the best resources of their opponents, and it wae found in Bethuve and McMillav. Tadividual play was freely indulged in by both sides. The splendid rushes of Sullivan and Howat: of the Abegweits, and of H. Brehaut aod C. Weeks of the Victorias, were viewed with wonder. The play was pot very rough, and secidents were few. Bethune received a severe cut over the right eye. Checking was continus! and was dooe without undue rowghness. Here again the Abegweits displayed superiority. Shortly afier eight o’elock the puck was faced by McLeod and Brebaut, aad was soon fly ng about everywhere. It did not re main long in either team’s territory. After five misute’s play a gonl was eecured for the Abegweity by Sullivan. Again was tbe puck faced, und the play put up by the teams was exce'leut. The Victorias fought for» gow, avi several times al- moustsucceeded; vat the phenomenal stops of Jost crushed their hopes, Three times was the puck shot at very clese range, and three times was it semt back ameng the
players buoched about the goal. Half time sounded with the score standing 3—1 for the Abegweits.
‘The Jast halt was fast and furious. Time came reluctantly with ascore of 5—3 for the Abegweits.
The intermediate match went to the Victorias* with a score of 3—2. Both sides put up a gallant fight.
In the senior match J. Sullivan wae referee. In the intermediate match Mr Lillie refereed. Both acted ina highly Aatisfaciory manner.
The games throughout were spleadid ones~ just the kiad spectators will enthuse oyer aud the kind that they will return to eee,

@pszra Horsa.—The Boston Cemedy Company gave a splendid rendering of the powerful emotional drama, “Kast Lynne” last evening; indeed, many of those who witnessed the performaace think it the best presentation of that popular play ever given in Charlottetown. Miss Grey in the dual role of Lady Isabel and Medame Vine was all that could be desired; and Miss Carmen gave an excellent characterization of Barbara Hare.Mr.Bennette acted the part of Archibald Carlyle most acceptably; and Mr. Wedber’s impersonation of Sir Francie Levison was capital. Mr. Chase made the mest of the opportunities given bim as Richard Hare; and Mrs. Clifton as Cornelia, the old maid sister ot Archi- bald Carlyle, afforded considerable amuse- ment. As Lady Isabel, Miss Grey wore several very handsome costumes. This aiterncon the company gives & matiner, presenting ‘* Bruisn Born,” tonight * Black-Eyed Susan ” and the screaming farce of ‘fhe Dumb Belie ” constitute the attraction.
