Charles C'oz-twc 9 The Defeat of Van Tromp English coast with a broom nailed to the hast -head of his ship as a token Two hundred and seventy-four years ago, on the 18th February, 1653, the first shot was fired in the most memorable of the numerous battles which were fought i.,t the clays of the Commonwealth between the fleets of Great Britain and Hol- land. During the first half of the seven- teenth century the sea power of Bri- tain had slowly fallen from tie posi- tion to which it had been raised by the doughty deeds of the Elizabeth- an mariners, while the fleet of Hol- land had gradually developed into a formidable rival. In 1651 the British Commonwealth Government passed the celebrated Navigaion Act, which provide'] `hat all goods brought into ,England, from beyond Europe should be carried only on vessels belonging to Britain or her colonies, while all Earnpeau products were to bo brought in by either the ships of Britain or of the country front , which the product eame. The enforcement of this Act sea-tradestruck a fatal blow at the prcifitable 1 established by the nutt.h, and led to their declaring war against' Britain. In May 1052 Admiral Blake was sailing up the English Chancel with a fleet of 20 pilosis ships when he , encountered Van Tromp, the groat Dhtch Adntiral,,who had 40 ,hip: un- der his command, and after a beislc engagement the latter fled with the I loss of two of his ships. Several) other naval battles took place he tween the w commanders two c omen l..ts dtn'ing. the next few months, and in the !, month of November, when a large number of the British .ships had l gone into dock • for the winter, a! Dutch fleet of 90 ships under the command of Van Tromp, suddenly appeared a the mouth of the River , Thames and did considerable damage to 37 British vessels which were an- ehor•ed there. The Dutch ware great- ly elated at their easy viceery, and l Van Tromp sailed up and clown the of his intention to sweep the British • from the seas, while Blake patiently awaited for a favorable opportunity to crush his boastful rival. In February I653 Van Tromp sail- ed up the English Channel with 72 ships of war and 30 armed traders conveying 300 homewin1-bound merchant vessels. Blake was ready and at once sailed out to meet him with a fleet of 80 ships. The battle commenced in the early hours of the morning of the 18th February, and after raging for three days ended in a glorious victory for the. British commander. Van Tromp, who lost 11 of his =hips of war and 30 mer- chant vessels, and had 2,000 sten killed- and 1,500 taken prisoners, finally succeeded in escaping into the shallow waters oil' the Frenca coast. The. British only lost one ship, al- though many were badly damaged and their loss in sten was very heavy. Early in the fight Blake. was severely wounded; but he kept hie ship, "Triumph" foremost in the fray until the end, and she went into dock with over 700 shot helve in her hull. Thi, great victory re-established Britain's prestige an he sea, and the Dutch Horde overtures of peace to Cromwell, but they were coldly re- ceived and the war went on. During the following year Van Tromp was twistt again beaten by the British fleet, and during the second conflict he was killed. r 3,. Little Willie had accompanied his father to the tailor's.

There was an athletic club in ftossunm•e to which nearly every young ratan in the Lown belonged, It had been started and mately supported by Wilton Porter, who bad been left quite a fortune:. Burdett, too, was a mem- ber, and one day, while practicing with the Indian cinh, Porter lost his grasp on one of them, and it whirled through the air with terrific force. Burdett stood directly In the palh of the Itying missile. It landed squarely between his eyes, he went clown like a shot and the shacked and horrified Porter went through twenty-four hours of crushing anxiety, remaining at the hospital whither Burdett was eon- veyed until the physleinn assured bltn that the patient would live. Porter's heart sank, however, as he was told that it looked as though the nerves of the eyes had been paralyzed and An- son Burdett night be blind o'er life.

Deports of thrilling dog derbies horn Banff, Quebec City and other winter sports centres in Canada, have had their effect upon the boys of Preston Springs, Ontario. 11'ho three lads in the above photograph spent many days training their collies to " run between the traces le preparation for the winter carnival which was held at that popular resort recently. If the boys lacked in real huekie dogs they had been reading about, they lacked nothing in enthusiasm for their big race, tlpon the eventful day at the car - nivel a rumor was circulated among the three that a real beside was entered. The afternoon proved the rumor to be true, but the jealousy of the collies was greater than the annoyance of the boys. The only huslne entry was rendered 'hors de combat' and relegated to obscurity as far as the race was concerned, by the peaceful -looping collie in the centre. The annual winter carnival at Preston Springs provided the utmost in snow -shoeing, skating, skiing,. and all kinds of winter sports. Prominent speed and -figure skaters gathered for the events from many parts of Can- ada and from across the border. Preston Spring's proximity to Torok- to has made it popular as a winter sports gathering place. Many clubs in Ontario sent representatives to compete in the events including the well-known Toronto Skating Clyb, A camp fire pow -wow concluded the festivities of the annual carnival.
