It was really the lively and extended period of spring practises for this annual encount- er which fostered and kept alive the whole athletic spirit in Char- lottetown and was the means of bringing about many games be- tween local organizations. Such encounters as were witnessed nt Victoria Park back in the eigh- ties nnd nineties were enough to fire any youth with ambition to participate in the game. Those games between the Crescents and Albflsweils, 6t. Dunstan's, the Vic- tories. [the Anchors, Stars, the Prince Edwards, Conrtsughts, the Brighton Heroes, and other minor organizations all had the tend- ency to arouse a healthy splrlt of rivalry among the boys and to make for brawn and muscle and quick, clear thinking.

This left a lot of boys in just the right fettle then to so: info the great winter game of hockey and so the spirit of’ athletics was never allowed to grow cold. Just why the some BPIFI! should not exist today is hard to say—but the fact remains that the mind of the youth of con- temporunoous age today seems tn run more to cigarettes, the cnrtl gnmc. dance-hall and a few other ct. ceteras of that type than was the case some years ago. Perhaps it is not too ‘late yet to revive something of the old time spirit. Pictou County.

The offer made Mr. Chaplin is staggering in its size. He has been offered $20,000 a week, which is at the rate of more than a mil- lion a year, for his signature to a theatrical ‘contract for twelve months. Talk‘ about America being the land of milk and honey! We have nothing to equal that on stage or screen. ‘The proposition according to Mr. Chaplin himself.

It took Mr. Chaplin just one hour to deliberate ou the proposi- tion, and most of that time was spent in deciphering the long code cable which arrived from England a few days ago. He came back with the following brief, but to the point answer. "Your proposition overwhelms me. Sorry I cannot. accept it.” For the sum of $1,040,000 yearly Chflllllu was to give his services as star and director of a theatrical company made up of prominent ten with Mr. Chaplin In mind, To assure the comedian he would not suffer inconvenience for any lack of salary, these English bankers agreed to put the entire amount in the bank payable to the loint account of the signers of the acceptance ‘by Chaplin he was to start for London not latey than August 15, at which date the agreement would be considered in flnal operation.
