'Manufacturers are beginning to learn that the uteady demand Is for a good ball of moderate price," said the agent, "and this' is the ball to be put on( the market' during the summer." Haskells and klaUred makes will run about the game -trice. The new ball is promised to be of longer and surer flight, with good putting qual'ltiea.

A ball white throughout-was' placed on the market in the States to retail for a dollur, but this bull will not be found in Canada, it being considered that the general run of players do not take to auch extravagant notions. Port Credit, twelve miles west of Toronto, is to have a modern and thoroughly up-to-date golf and country club and will be the latest addition to the Canadian organizations. A property, covering one hundred acres, hits been secured, and professionals and amateurs, who have been over the ground, say that the natural conditions are excellent, and that it will be possible to put the course into thoroughly good playing form at a moderate oust. Plans have been prepared for a fine clubhouse, to cost about I12.SO0. The capitalization of the club will be $30,000, and a large proportion of this has already been subscribed for by Toronto enthusiasts.

The place can now be reached by the Grand Trunk, and later the Radial Electric Line will pass through tho Credit. Port Credit Is a small village on Lake Ontario. In the good old days ot long ago it was a. trading post, and gained its name because Indians cculd obtain creilt there. At present It Is a quiet and pretty village, chiefly noted for an inn commanded by a retired sailor of Independent spirit, a starch factory, and a small harbor, which holds eight or ten stone hookers belonging to the place, be-.

Winnipeg, March (Specials-Serious trouble is browing in municipal circles In St. Boniface. For some time disputes been continually occur-Ing at the council board, and the climax came Saturday, wihen Cecill God-dard, town engineer tendered his resignation. "Because I have not been able to approve a bill for sower construction, which, in my, opinion amounts to nothing less or more than extortion of the citizen's money, I have resigned my position ais town engineer of St. declared Cecil Goddard, w'iio tor two years has presided over the municipal engineering work of the cathedral town.

Mr. Goddard Btated that at the meeting of St. Boniface Council, Monday, grave charges of crooked work would be laid against certain persons. The trouble has all arisen over the Marlon street sewer contract, which was let to Jean Couture for $24,538, being approxima tely $19 a foot. For certain reasons the engineer claims Couture would have lost money if the 'original con tract price had been and he was a.lioweU $1,523 for extra done.

Couture, according to Goddard, was not satisfied and put a claim for S29.805. This amount, however, tlhe engineer states, Is entirely too much, and says he could not approve it and will guard the interests of the rate payers. The Public Works Committee or tne St. Boniface council met last Wed nesday evening, with Councillors Pel-letier, Cusson, Colin and Berry pre sent The commJttee, Mr. Goddard declares, deaplte the energetic protests of Councillor Berry, who is one or tne Norwooia representatives on the council, decided to recommend the appointment of a Montreal man as engineer at higher salary than Mr.

Goddard has been receiving, and with privilege of a private practice. Councillor Gedeon couture is a brother, and Councillor Cusson Is a brother-in-law, of Contractor Jean Couture, according to Goddard's statement. He directly states also that both councillors threatened him personatly with dismissal unless he approved of the contractor's bill for sewer construction. It is understood that Nor-wodd residents are indignant at the proposal to dismiss Engineer Goddard and a lively row is expected at the councillors' meeting on Monday. PRAISE FOR.

DR. 03LER. Great Physician Suffers From Faulty Reports, Says President of Johns Hopkins. New, Tork, March 3. The Times eays: At the annual dinner of the New Tork Alumni of the Johns Hopkins University, held last night at the University Club, Dr.

Osier was praised as ene Who had suffered from faulty reports of his famous address in he was made the champion of young men's ambitions through killlnir off their elders. Dr. IraRem- sen, president or jonns nopaina, pointed out that two of the most valu- ol jonns Hopains, able of the members of the faculty were five years over the allotted three score and ten. "We suffered a great loss when Dr. Osier resigned and went to a place he should never have gone to," said Dr.

Remsen. "His name suggests the notoriety of a year ago. If those who quote Osier quoted him rightly they would not have quoted hm as they did. i It Is a common error of the world to attribute to him nonsensical remarks he never said. I would explain; except that I might be a secQud to have my name changed Into a verb.

He hag had td travel Incognito since the misquotation of his remarks. "He went to Atlantic City Incognito after that speech, and he did the same when he went to England. He is a very sensitive man, and If you ever meet him again don't ask him about his alleged theory." IMMIGRANTS ARRIVE. Two Special Trains Reach Montreal Bearing Passengerrof SS. Tunisian.
