It was a merry crowd of adnrircrs tha
met the Abcgweit Hockey team who
they arrived ri few minutes after one thi
morning at the Central Livery stables
Queen Street. ' -
They had driven from Cape Traverse

they had tcu.

two weeks trip and tcii runny interesting
stories of their visit. to the _muinland.
Their crossing at the Capes yesterday wal
very heavy but they enjoyed it well,
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

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

Neptune returned to St. Johns about
far north as L-ape .Sabine in 78 degrees 30
minutes north latitude, where the Grecly
expedition passed a trngical winter, und
where Penry made his winter quarters for
n. year during the last explorations. 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. 'l`hc_journcy of the
Neptune due north from I-Iudson's Strait
was about 1.075 miles, and as she followed

THE IIUSSIAIIS
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
An incident. occurred when the Russian
agent, M. Nckliedoff, pointed nut that the
British statement referred to the commis-
sion asacourt whereas the two govern-
ments had expressly agreed upon it :being
a “commission of inquiry" but not u
“court-." 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.
Second-That the fire was opened with-
out sufllcienf. reason und was continued
for an unreasonable time after the mis-
take had been dot.ect.ed.
Third - That no effort was inode to suc-
or thc sinking ships or wounded.

It will be remembered ther the .\cptune
was chartered by the llemiuion Govern-
ment in itll!! for the two years to go to
Hudson`s Bay and take formal posses-
sion of the islands and coasts in thc
northern part of the bay. The party was
in charge of A. l’. Low of the Dominion
Geological Survey and the ship was coni-
manded by (Jupt.  W. Bartlett, well
known for his participation in l’eury's
Arctic uchievemcnt..~. Tin- party raised
the Brit-is-iii flag on the large Southampton

BI-rnier wcut north last. summer on tho

the Neptune and curry supplies to Major
Moodic. The Canadian authorii-ie:-I intend

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.
