Wuo Is He ?—Daniel Barker, the burglari- ous suspect, whose recent arrest in Moncton we noticed yesterday, told Stipendiary Wort- man, when questioned, that he belonged to Souris, but had leftthe Island some five years ago, since which time he had worked as cook on board vessels. He said further that he left Gloucester, Mass., about a month ago on board a fishing schooner, and had only arrived in Bathurst on Monday, where he met the man for whom the policemen are on the look-out. It is strongly suspected that the man _ has not given his real name or ad-lress, and that he and his companion are members of the gang of burg!ars who were operating in the Pro- vinces last year. At all events he carried a queer ‘‘kit” for a sailor,

The Bridgewatrr Seizure (Case.

WASHINGTON, June 28.

The Secretary of State has officially called the attention of the British Minister resi- dent at Washington to the case of the American ship Bridgewater, unlawfully seized by the Customs officials of the Do- minion of Canvda a year ago, and detained 51 days at Shelburne. The owners of the Bridgewater were confident the Canadian Government would make compensation, as the gross illegality of the seizure and deten-

tion were admitted, and the = ship unconditionally released by order of the Dominion Government after

rejection of a proposition by the owners of the Bridgewater, for release, conditional upon promising immunity for seizure and detention. The Dominion, however, de- cided not to enter the claim on the ground purely technical, that the owners had no remedy at law against Dominion officials. The claim was presented to the State De- partment, a few weeks ago; and has been promptly presented to the British Minister for settlement.

Mr. Hawke's Reception.

Moncton, June 28,

J. T. Hawke was received here by a brass band which paraded the streets and gathered quite a crowd at the station. He entered a barouche with Mr. Longley and Mr. Emmerson, the defeated Grit candi- dates for Westmorland, and drove to the rink where Mr. Hawke was presented with an address and purse of $1000, made up principally by the Grit leaders. He made a speech, during which the crowd in the rink rapidly dispersed. Some effort has been made to get up a procession, but it turned out a great fizzle. From the station to the rink there were only 8 teams and from the rink through the streets to Hawke’s home only three. The demonstration is the subject of much good nature chaff.

A Well-Deserved Address.

Lawn Tennis Tournament.

yesterday afternoon at Victoria Park, and

resulted in Miss May DesBrisay carrying

off the prize, a very pretty gold brooch pre- | sented for the occasion by Mr. A. A. Bart- | lett, of the Fitzroy Club. The ‘ourna- | ment was played by setts, best two out of | three. The players all went in even, with

the exception of Miss May DesBrisay, who

played against a handicap of 15 on each

game.

Notwithstanding handicaps, Miss Des-

Brisay plays to win, and still adds laurels

to those already won. Inthe last setts, she

met a very formidable opponent in Miss M.

Ball, who, although a young player, dis-

played remarkable skill and powers of

endurance throughout the tournament.

Miss A. Beer is alsu to be complimented on

her play ; for good style and hard returns she has few equals.

The following are the drawings and

scores of each sett :—

Spring Park School. "i

Aut who attended the examination of the Spring Park School on Thursday afternoon could not but be pleased with the appear- ance and proficiency of the scholars. The rooms were very tastefully decked with flowers. The children, teacher and visitors all seemed in the best of spirits. The junior department of this school has im- proved very much in the past year. The children sang nicely, and behaved very well. Mr. Miller and Miss Nellie Lawson examined them in farithmetic, while Miss Stumbles conducted the other class herself. Miss Lawson’s attendance was large, and we noticed some excellent writing and compositions on her!desk. A class in_the fifth book was examined by Miss McKin- non, and the children read and spelled very well indeed. The reason no prizes were given this year was that the money had gone to improving the school grounds. We understand that the trustees intend having the school thoroughly repaired and painted. This is a move in the right direc- tion. The school will be re-opened on the second Monday in August.

Raiiway Rates.

Sir,—There is nothing to be gained by entering upon a discussion of railway matters with Mr. H. F. Coombs, because of his peculiar ideas of railway manage- ment. I am not concerned about the I. C. R., and would not have noticed Mr. Coombs’ first effusion, were it not that it conveyed an impression—unintentional it may have been—that was unfair to the P. E. Island Railway. It is} impossible to. run a railway so as to meet the views of every man who may have occasion to avail himself of its advantages. But it is prob- able that the Government roads go as far as private corporations in the direction of meeting the reasonable requirements of the public.
