Not one of them has obtained a position among the first twelve, although their scores are by no means discreditable. The prize has been carried off by a Surrey volunteer with 101 points, against 97 by Gillies last year. The defeated 200 for the Queen's for the first stage the only Cana- dian winning a prize is Sergt. H. Miner, 71st Batt.

Among the un- fortunate classes, the imbeciles, Chinamen paupers, the halt, the lame, the blind, and all others who had no visible means of showing that the country would be the better of their coming. They demanded that Federal Government officials be ap- pointed to examine all immigrants on land- ing, and that atine of at least $1,000 be imposed upon the captain or _ pro- prietors of any steamships landing the undesirable immigrants referred to. They further protested against the granting of public lands to Railway companies and other wealthy corporations and asked that all vacant lands, whether agricultural or urban, be taxed to their full value.

In feeling language he deplored the misery caused among the people by drunkeness, and called on his congregation to do all in their power to

revent the spread of this terrible vice. His Lordship announced his intention of introducing, at an early day, a branch of Cardinal Manning’s famous temperance organization, which was doing such splendid service in the cause of temperance in Eng- land, and which was known by the name of the League of the Cross.
