The Ramblers, they say, are a mug-

niflccnt lot of players and treated them well. In Truro the Abegweits played the ordinary game as seen on Prince Edward Island but the Truro people were evident ly not familiar with rough hockey forthey thought. the contest was an extraordinary rough cnc. 'l‘he Abegweits won by a score of 4 to 3.

Following are some of the comments of

the Amherst papers on the games :-

()n the average the Abcgwelts are prob-

ably the fastest skating team that ever played in Anlierst. Some c'f' them are very speedy. Moran, the visitors goal keeper says that hc is of thc opinion that the Ramblers can t-rlm_ any team in Can- ada in their own rink. He does not be- lieve that they would have any show in Ottawa, but if the Ottawa team were to come down here where they would have to play good clean hockey and nothing else the Ramblers would win.---New s.

For the first fifteen minutes the game

was very fast, probably the fastest game seen in Amherst for some years. The visiting team was made up of good ska- ters and their players were good lift-ers and good individual players. They were wcuk in stick handling, however, and played little or no com- bination. The visltlng team seemed to suffers little from the trip from Char- lottetown, which as already related was a trying experience. In place of Mc-Millan, the regular covcrpoint, who stayed at home on account of the recent death of his father, tho visitors played Doyle, who usually plays forward. Notwithstanding the change, Doyle played a good defence game. Moran, the visitors’ goal keeper, proved to be it good msn and stopped a numberof shots. Musick, at point, put up a good all round defence game and at times made effective rushes. Hughes, at centre, turned out to be a good fast man, Holman, the visitors' rover is a very fast skater and n. good stick handler. Cushing and Gormley, on the wings, were both

The Island boys seemed to he laying for Chummy Murray and in the second half' the spectators witnessed two small-sized scraps. In the first one, Murray carried the puck down on an in- dividual rush and shot- for goal. His shot was stopped and it looked as though Moran in goal at- tempted to kick Murray. The latter resented this and Cushing and Lightizer took it up. For this offence, Cushing and Murray were sent to the fence for two minutes. Murray made another individ- ual rush, and as he went to shoot Light- flier attempted to strike him with a stick and a tight resulted. Then Eddie Curran and Llghtizer were put oil' for a minute n account of the mix-up in the corner.-~ felegram.

Noth ing more was said, says The New York Sun, but some det-ails of the Neptune`s interesting voypge far toward the pole have come to the surface.

The fact is that after leaving ll\i<l.~ior\'s

Bay the Neptune touched at all lands on thc west coast of Davis Strait and llaffin Bay, raised the British flag und went through the formality of declarlnq them to be a part of the Dominion of Uanada. All these lands are on the eastern edge oi' thc Arctic Archipelago to the north of the Ainerican mainland.

The British conclusion maintained that

thc testimony showed that no torpedo boats were present and that therefore the firing was unjustlflable, whereas the Rus- sian conclusion hold that the testimony I showed that the torpedo boats were pre- sent and that the firing' was fully vvnr- ranted. However thc Russian statement closed with u declaration of profound re- gret ut the fact that innocent lives had been sacrldced and announced the willing- uessof the Russian Government to pay an indemnity to the survivors and families of the victims leaving the amount and ,partition of the idenmity to The Haque

agent, M.

Thereupon the British agent, Mr. O`Brlen, withdrew thc use of the word "court." The incident was taken to indicate the restricted nature of the com- n\isson's inquiry.

The British summary of facts ls under our heads: First --That no torpedo boats or torpedo

boat destroyers were in the vicinity of thc incidentus shown by the declaration of the fishermen and the official statement of various governments that no torpedo boats belonging to their fleets were In that nelcrhborhood and that therefore thc` Russians make a mistake largely as thc result of apprehension that an attack was about to occur.

It will be remembered ther the .\cptune

Canaria holds that }ludson`s Bay is s elos- , ed sen. and has been rt British possession since the treaty of Utrecht in 171:1- Whether or not- this claim is admitted, the shores around the bay are Cnnudinn, and most of the whaling is done within thc three-nrile limit, chiefly in the neighborhood of Ches- terfield Inlet. -

After the arrival of the Gauss in Hud-

son’s Bay, early last summer, the Nep- tune left those waters, and nt the en- trance to Hudsons Strait was met by the stoamcr Eric, which filled her bunkers with coal. The Neptune then turned north and put into Cuinberland Sound on the coast of Baffin Land, where the flag was raised and the declaration of British Sovereignty pro- claimed. This performance was repeated utamnnber of indentation# on the long coast of Baffin Land, nt Lancaster Sound, or North Devon, at Jones Sound, and nt Cape Sabine on Ellesmere Land. Members of the expedition say that if the channels lending north from Smith Sound had not baen filled with icethe Neptune would have gone on und raised thc British flag on the shores of the Arctic Sea in Grunt.
