and so today is undoubtedly the day of outdoor recreations, just as twenty years ago, Bd ve books, music and the fine arts were the almost sole amusements of both young and old alike, That \u201cthe child is father to the man\u201d is a trite and true saying, and it is safe to say that those who indulge in healthy outdoor sport as children are almost certain to continue that form of recreation when they reach manhood\u2019s estate, and to bring up their children in the same way.We may, therefore, safely assume that the next twenty or thirty years will see our country peopled by a sturdy race of athletic men and women\u2014sound in wind and limb, and with a physical strength which renders them more able to withstand the attacks of illness and disease; and I affirm that this much- to-be-desired state will be largely due to the benign influence of sport and athletic training in their youths.\u201d Thus spoke Mr, Thomas Sonne, the proprietor of the Sonne Awning, Tent, and Tarpaulin Company, and Sonne\u2019s Marine Stores, to a Standard representative the other day.Mr, Sonne has, from his earliest youth, been associated with businesses which have brought him in closest touch with outdoor recreations, and those who indulge in them, and so is in a position to speak with some authority on the subject, \u201cThe development of sport in Canada can be clearly shown by the development of my own store,\u201d he continued.\u201cWhen I started in business for myself in Victoria Square in 1895, af- Mr, Thos, Sonne at his desk.ter year of experience in my father\u2019s establishment, I dealt only in canvas goods, such as awnings, tents, yacht sails, tarpaulins, etc.,, and a small line of baseball goods.I was convinced from the first, however, that there was an ever-growing business to be done in sporting goods, and I determined to devote all my energies towards building up a business which would be in a position to supply any article likely to be required for any purpose of sport or outdoor recreation.Bit by bit I have enlarged and added to the lines we carry, until at the present time there is scarcely an article a sportsman could need in the way of equipment which we cannot supply him with.When the Klondike rush was on, we made tents and equipments for prospectors by the thousands, and it was no uncommon thing to take in from $1,500 to $2,000 a day during the time the gold fever lasted.During the rush and at the time of Queen Victoria's Diamond Jubilee, in 1897, we had night and day shifts working, and for the celebration of the latter event we cut up thousands of yards of bunting for flags alone.\u201cTo-day our stock comprises tents, awnings, canvas, flags, horse and waggon covers, all kinds of camping bags and prospectors\u2019 outfits, contractors\u2019 tarpaulins, oilskin clothing, rubber coats and rubber goods, travellings rugs, horse blankets, oars, paddles, canoes, sail-boats, skiffs and power launches, folding and canvas canoes, yacht hardware from sailmakers\u2019 needles to anchors, For winter sports » we have snowshoes, skates, moccasins, A Corner of the Store, showing a few of the goods carried in stock.NT A OA AlN toboggans, hockey sticks and skis; also lumbermen\u2019s clothing, mitts, etc.We carry a large line of fishing tackle, hammocks, and other goods; in fact, everything needed for outdoor sport.In addition to our sporting goods business, we do a large amount of decorating work for bazaars, weddings and receptions, and when the Medical Convention was held at McGill a few years ago, we supplied and erected the tents with which the campus was almost covered.We also erected and decorated the temporary ballroom in which Sir Montague Allan gave the celebrated ball to Lord and Lady Minto.Every week that goes by shows me more clearly the immense influence which sport has on the rising generation, and I am convinced that in a few years at most, if the present rate of progression PN is maintained, Canada will be recognized as one of the foremost sporting and athletic nations in the world.In the near future it is my intention to establish a fully equipped boat-building plant in the neighborhood of Montreal the need of which is badly felt by al] those engaged in acquatic sports.The plant will be supplied with the most modern labor-saving devices, and will be in charge of one of the most experienced builders in the world, When in operation, this plant will be capable of turning out canoes, skiffs, sail-boats, and power launches up to 50 and 60 ft.in length.As we represent some of the leading engine-builders in the country, and have installed engines all the way from 11% to 50 horse-power, we have the goods and the experience so necessary for this class of work.\u201d Ten Nationalities in Cosmopolitan School Group;

Bishop Lofthouse, of Keewatin; and Bishop Pinkham, of Calgary.Archbishop Machray died in 1904, and Bishop Matheson became third Bishop of Rupert's Land.Shortly afterwards, early in 1905, the House of Bishops of the Province of Rupert\u2019s Land, met and elected him Archbishop.His Grace is a Past Grand Master of the Grand Lodge of Freemasons, and also a Member of the Scottish Rite.The Canadian Church Magazine speaks of him as \u201ca faithful spiritual adviser, a warm friend, and a champion of all that is noblest and best among men.\u201d Before his elevation to the episcopal dignity, Archbishop Matheson was Pro- locutor of the Lower House of the General Synod of the Church of England in Canada.He is perhaps the most commanding of all the Canadian Bishops in point of physique, as he is over six feet tall.His voice is round and full, and he is a preacher of consider- able eloquence, as well as a tactful administrator of his large diocese.BISHOP DART, OF NEW WESTMINSTER.The Right Reverend John Dart, D.D,, D.C.L., second Bishop of New Westminster, was born in Devonshire, Eng., in 1839, and educated at St.Mary's Hall Oxford.He then went to India, ando became Warden of St.Thomas's College, Colombo, Ceylon.He was ordained Deacon in 1860, and Priest in 1861, by the Right Reverend J.Chapman, first Bishop of Colombo; and later was Examining Chaplain to the Right Reverend P.Claughton, second Bishop of Colombo.Leaving India, he returned to England, and graduated in his university as B.A.in 1867, and as M.A.in 1869, and was appointed Principal of the Training College, York, and afterwards Vice-Principal and Science Lecturer in St.Peter\u2019s College, Peter- borough.Subsequently he came to Canada, and, in 1878, was appointed President of King\u2019s College, Windsor, N.S.and Canpn of St.Luke's Cathe~ dral, Halifax, \u2018N.S.King\u2019s conferred upon him the degree of D.C.L.in 1876, and Oxford University that of D.D.in 1895.In 1885 he returned again to England, and for ten years was Organizing Secretary of the S.P.G.for the Diocese of Manchester, at the end of which time he was selected for the Bishopric of New Westminster (rendered vacant by the death of the Right Rev.A.W.Sillitoe), by the Most Reverend E,W.Benson, D.D., Archbishop of Canterbury and Primate of All England, by which prelate he was, on June 29, 1895, consecrated Lord Bishop of New Westminster at St.Paul's Cathedral, London, Eng.; Bishops Temple, of London; Creighton, of Peterborough; Festing, of St.Albans\u2019; Browne, of Stepney; Sumner, of Guilford; Yeat- man, of Southwark; Lloyd, of Thet- ford; and Hornby, of Likoma, assisting.He was enthroned on November 20 of the same year in his Cathedral PRELATES OF THE CHURCH OF ENGLAND IN CANADA \u2014 The Most Rev.Samuel Pritchard Matheson, D.D., third Lord Bishop and second Lord Archbishop and Metropolitan of Rupert\u2019s Land.Consecrated Co- adjutor-Bishop of Rupert's Land by His Grace Archbishop Machray, Primate of All Canada, on November 15, 1903 (the Feast of St.Machu- tus), in the Church of the Holy Trinity, Winnipeg;
