progressi daily before Magistrate Brunet upon instructions from the Attornay- 's Department the i veatiga- tion is mow open to the reed Yesterday morning Atkinson was again brought here jail and was present at both morning and afternoon sessions.At the mo.aing nes- sion Mr.Laurent Darveau, of the Levie branch of the B.N.A.Bank, was recalled and explained that the two gheques signed Atkinson and

time these cheques were handed to the B.N.A.Bank ty were made out on Caisse d'Economie blanks.Mr.Lachance, on behalf of the Crown, asked why thess cheques wera kept in the bank and after some hesitation witness stated that tl wero not entirely Atkinson's and Mansgur i y owed part of them, as the former had advanceid him money.Asked what amount was advanced, witness replied that he could not be precise, but it was about $1,800.Witness wae also asked who had given orders to present these cheques to the Caisse d\u2019Economis in December and replied that he did not think that anybody

hawdly dimputable that owing to the abundance and elasticity of her resources, Canada han suffered less than other nations, this depression has seriously affected our trade, producing an appreciable shrinkage in the public revenue, and calling for exceptions] caution in the administre- tion of our national affairs.The rapid settlement of the new pro- vinices calls for new lines of transportation,

minutes, forty seconds, in 1904, for the latter distance.But even at that tims, JT am informed by this same ventleman that there was a variance of opinion as to whether Shrubb or W.Gfessional mile record, was the greater runner, the latter being the old opponent in many hotly contested races of A.Cummings, of Paisley, which performances have helped to make history in the foot-racing gamey friend very cleverly directed the much-talked-of hour performance of Shrubb when that little speed merchant covered 11 miles, 1,138 vards in the hour, and puts an entirely differ- ht complexion on the performance to what most of us have entertained.SHRUBB'S SPEED.\u201cHe goes on to explain that the firat mile was done around the four- thirty mark, and in fact that degree of was even carried to the second mile.But then we find if we take the trouble to figure out the distance after the first time was made, for the ten | miles.being filty minutes and forty ipacouds, that the great speed com- imenced to wane, and the last mile was done around five-thirty.221 2402 | Beyond the ten miles the time was | {not #0 phenomenal as soms people imagine.He refers to the performance of Watkins, in England, in \u201c1889, when that clever performer, not- \"withstanding being twenty-five seconds behind Shrubb\u2019s time for the tem \u2018miles, ran in the hour one hundred and | That looks good dope on how Shrubb\u2019s speed must necessarily taper {off after setting such a hot peace {the -early part of a race.| Then he refers to the famous race \u2018in which Fred.Appleby beat him in the fast time of one hour and twenty minutes and some seconds and eave that by comparing the great difference in the track on which Shrub) ran with the favorable weather condi- 14ions accompanying him ss compared {to the first fifteen miles of Tonghoat's race with Dorando at Buffalo, yon will lind that from the ten to , the fifteen mile post that the time for that particular five miles was none too favorahle to the Fnclishman.POWERS IS PLEASED.Tom Longhoat got to town yeater- day for the first time with his train- ter, Deforest, and called on his man- | ager, Pat Powers.| Powers was dalighted with Long- | boat's appearance and claims that he is much improved in every way since he got in the hands of his new train- \u201cer.Longboat lives with Mr.Deforest, \u2018and is quits contented with his surrounding.The new and old manager lof Longhoat will to Allenhurst Thursday to see Tom run his final trial and we will then have a fair idea jof hin condition.Shrubb is reported to have run last Monday twenty miles in one hour, fifty-four minvtes and thirty-two seconde.He ran to the twenty-two mile mark but the time was not taken.T.C.FLANAGAN.NOT YET, SAYS MEADOWS.Guelph, Jan.31.\u2014There is no truth fn the reports that Fred Meadows, thought by many to be the best five miler in the country, is contemplating turn ne truth in the report,\u201d Theres Fred said yesterday when seen at his work in the Taylor-Forbés fiundry, \u201cI'm not thinking of it\u2014at least not for some time yet.I think if ! got right after the rénning game I could make more money, and eventually 1 meant to do so, but just for the pre sent | I'm saying nothing but \u2018sawing wood.ONTARIO PROS.BREAK UP.Brantford, Out., Jan.21.\u2014From re llable local sources it is learned that St.Catharines, which is scheduled to play here lo-night, will drop out of the Ontario Professional Hockey Lea: gue after filling the local dates.It is also pretty well understood that Guelph will disband after to-night'a match with the Toronto team, which City.Both teamn ve travelled in hard luck ell tha scnson.The league will be continued with Brantford, Berlin, Galt and Toronto in the championship, and all teams will Probably be sree by nl ors who will be enga from e pare in the Royal outfita, in Allmburet, N.J., while the George, the holder of the present pro- ! fifty yards more in that time.| disbanded St.Catharines and training a full brother to Amy Brooks, 2.06 14, whom he declares will make a better trotter than the sister.He is called Embry Brooks.Several hichly bred mares have ar rived bers from Russia to be bred to ;
