Ross Iand .othet notables. We were then marched to the John Donough Hotel en We, street, where we Were billeted - for dinner, and it was here that the battle began and ended.: There was a young tar off the gunboat that lay in the harbor, that made some,insult- ing reirk about the soldiers. Fight- ing Jack Splan (as he was then call- ed) couldn't stand this and challenged him out to mortal combat. The first blow was the first and last for him as the sailor went down and out in a minute. At this sto.ge there happen- ed to be present a Ifalf-breed Indian namedjeck McGregor) Who for years had been a terror to all, mariners on the Great Lakes; as. in a rough and tumble fight he had no equal, so he challenged Splan. Round 1—He rush- ed in, clinched Splan and threw him eavily against an old. stair, that led ti the upper regions), almost breaking his back. But after giving hint a small drop of the "0 -he -joyful", he revived. Round 2L -With Spiels rain- ing rights and lefts to his body and face the half-breed began to realize that the tide of battle was turning. a- gainst him e,nd niade one desperate effortta finish Splan: and the battle at once. He then picked up a matble slab that lay on the bar, which proved to :be„his- undoing, AS he Left his, 'guard open, Splan got in his deadly left on the vital spot and down went McGregor in a heap. He was picked up by Splan and carried to his corner wheae he was speedily counted out. He was then heard to feebly exclaim: "That is -the first time Jack McGregor ever was licked!” .

The Canadian Red Cross Society is an incorporated and registered War Charity under the Act, and it is not necessary for either Provincial or Local Branches of the Society to regis- ter under the new act, nor to submit any statements of accounts other than those called for by the Constitution of the Red Cross Society, but it is now absolutely essential that each Local Branch wishing to retain its Charter should carry out the following regu- lations demanded by the new Aet:— (1) Kees/careful accounss with re- ceipts and vouchers for all expendi- tures; (2) Have these accounts • auditede (3). Furnish this audited financial statement to the Provincial' Branch, as requested once a year. This is es- seutial in order that the Society's Annual Statement to the Goverrunent may be based upon a complete return from each brareh: (4) Keep Minutes of all meetings'. 3. Organizations Which are not themselves incorporated and registered or are not Branches of such registered societies may only collect or hold en- tertaitunents for war relief purposes if they have obtained the -written per- mission of each registered war relief society for which they desire to raise funds- or snaterial. The right to grant such permits for the Red Cross rests with leach Local Chartered Branch of the Red Cross' Society within the area covered by its Charter. In areas not covered by Local Branches, the Provincial Branch:has the power to ghee permits, and in a Province where there is no Provincial Branch, the Central Exe- cutive Conanittee of the Society shall exercise this right.
