LETTER FROM MR. FULLERION |

'Ywo Fearful Disasters — Islanders Reported Well. ~—

By the courtesy of Mr. T..G. James we are permitted to make the follow) g exe tracts from a letter received by bim from Rev. Mr. Fullerton :

}

Sprines, S. A:, July 16, 1900,

Since I last wrote we have had two of these fearful disasters which have been so frequeul in this campaign. At a place called Warervaa),a few miles north of Pretoria, two companies of the Lincolns | were cut to pieces and three other com- pavies with a squadron of the famoue; Scotch Greys were taken prisoners. Weat| of Johannesburg, on the Potchefstroons railway, tbe gav Gordons were marching along evidently with a sense of great se-} curity, a8 they nad, from all we can’ learn,no advance guard thrown out, when a body of wily Boers pounced upon them suddenly and attempted to capture a gun. The Gordovs worsted them out at a cost of forty casualties. The Boers are puttiug up a fierce fight, their force being composed largely ot rebels from Cape Colony and U:tlanders. The British authorities are at last begin- ning todeal sbarply withthem, e. g. whenever @ Boer who has laid down arms, taken tbe oath, and returned to his bome, is found to be in the commando his hovse is at Once burned to the ground. We bave been too lenient.

As I seid, lam the ooly Chaplain with the Canadians now and conduct the Pros tesiant services. Yesterday morning I hedavery fine gathering vf Canadiaus, Artillery and Mounted [ofantry the sing- ing was good and everthing was, | trus', conducive to the good of the men.

I do hope and pray thatthe church is doing well. I am satiefied that by the time you received this we shall be on our return trip Today Hutton is engaging theenamy 12 miles off (we can bear the booming of the naval guns) while Roberts is moving north Pretoria with a strong force determined, I believe, to crush the dishou- est, cowardly and tyrannical Boers, Ther style of fighting bas changed They bide behind stones until] they have jast time to fire, jump on their horses and clear out. Toey never reveal their whereabouts.

We were informnd last night in regi- mental order that Ernie Lord had been sent to England Jast month. It was a wise atep, as he vas quite sick, as aleo Walker, who was dealt with in the same way.

Out of the Island 60 we have only 14 men left with us. Springs has been ren- dered important, because it now forms the base of supp'ies for some divisions, hence ovr outposts are called upon to be very vigilant, so as to prevent auother raid. | Thirty Boers were seen near on Sature 'day, but when our mounted men went ovt they were nowhere to be seen.

The Islanders here are very well in- deed; 80 also are McDonald and Weeks.

* Remember me toall friends. With kind ’ regards,

f Iam, yours sincerely,

d T. F. Futierron.

A Splendid Meeting— Summary of the Events,

The races at Cosey Glen,Trotting Park, on Thursday last brought together a nice field of horses, though the crowd in at~ teadance was smaller than the manage- ment had a right to expect. The handsome Alemoot Wiikis Stallion, Kid McCoy, who is a hot western favorite, was forced for once to lower his colors to that plucky little hrother of Ooward, 2.25, Dr. Murphy’s speedy roadster, while the pacer Coafasin by Westlawn and a sor of Carnot 2.28 made up as fine afield of Lorses ina 3- minute class as bas ever faced a starter in the province. A single blanket wou!d for a quarter ofa mile at a time, cover the tunch. There were only two bersee fin the green race, but it was above the aver age of green races, and we are only sorry that we could not obtain the time of the d-fferent events. The following is the ~ucomary:,
