Its 'arranging for its long term frin- aneing in Canada, rather than in ars, other -market, the Government has followed the policy that has been al- most rigidly adhered to during the last several years, the Victory Loans of 191.7, 1918 and 1919 have been plan- ned entirely for the Canadian market and the Refunding Loans of 1923 and 1924 having been offered in the same manner. Short term financing—such as one year note issues—have been placed in United States, where the demand for such bonds is so strong that such borrowing is abnormally cheap. These short term notes, how- ever, are of interest only to the large financial institutions. It is understood that the proceeds of the new issue will be used for re- funding purposes, including the re- tirement of $42,000,000 of tax-free bonds, which fail due on December 1st next. In this matter also, the strict policy of retiring tax-free bonds by the usual taxable issues is being al- lowed. The new issue should prove exceed- ingly attractive to Canadian invest- ors, The maturity is fifteen years— in other words, these bonds run for the same number of years as did the 1934 maturity Victory bonds which were issued in 1919 and which have become so popular. At the price of 97% and interest, the bonds will yield the investor an interest return of over 4% per cent., which is consider- SCOTLAND Territorials and civilians engaged toe 'wild street fight in Dundee. An argument led to the battle, the sol- dlers bringing their belts into use. The civilians, however; got the better of their opponents, and when the po- ,le arrived the civilians were dis- • playing several belts as trophies. •Pd`baree of the Territorials were arrest- ed, and before they got to the police station the soldiers made several at- tempts to rescue their comrades, but without success.

In considering the new loan, an- other point upon which comment has been made is that new offerings of the highest grade of bonds have been comparatively scarce during the last few months and from all indications the volume of new bond issues will be unusually light during the re- mainder of the year. There will be no more Dominion Government fin- encirg, while most of the Provinces and Municipalities have already com- pleted their requirements. The best advice to prospective in- vestors, therefore, is to enter their applications as ‘quickly as possible.

GRACE'S CRICKET RECORD BEATEN BY PROFESSIONAoL There are those who have seen all sports and have played most games who contend that cricket is the king of them all. To them, of whatever race and to all loyal Englishmen, there was a thrill in the news that Jack Hobbs had broken the battling record of Dr. Grace which had been compiled over a period of more than half a century. That Hobbs was likely to do this became apparent a year or so ago as he steadily amassed the centuries in first-class cricket, and what he did a month ago cricketers had long expected. He made his 127th century, one more than Dr. I Grace had compiled, and a few days later made another for good mea - 1 sure. To make a century means to make one hundred runs before being retired. There may have been those who made as many in cricket root recognized as first-class, which would be much like the pitching of a no -hit game in a minor League. Hobbs has done all his work against the best howling that England and Australia have produced in the past twenty years. He is still in his prime, and there is no doubt that he will add to his laurels, and perhaps set a mark that will stand even longer than the mark of the famous doctor. Grace was a veritable leviathan of the sport, a man who stood head and shoulders over all rivals in the same way that Sullivan in his time stood head and shoulders over all, and for a longer period. He was the reigning monarch of the game and he looked it. Even millions who never saw him in the flesh would immediately recognize his picture, for he was sketched by nearly every illustrator in England. He stood six feet two inches, and was correspondingly broad and burly. His swarthy face was mostly hidden by a black beard and on his thick shock of hair, he wore invariably, when on the field, a tiny cap, of red anondthe Bed he owed tyeow.

On Pestle MD annowneed is the nest contest physical strength, for he was prob- ably a more powerful man than Babe Ruth and smashed the cricket ball just as hard as the home run king hits the 'baseball. That he had different training methods from Ruth is inferred from the fact that his cricket career began in 1865 and di not end until 1908. If Ruth were to be playing in the major leagues in 1985, he might he said to have equalled one of Grace's records. Those who do not believe that cricket is either a game requiring great skill or great stamina are ig- norant of it. Undoubtedly there is not the speed that is to he seen in baseball or lacrosse, • but there is just as much mechanical skill re- quired in a first clans cricketer as there is in a major league ball player. From the lay in which visiting Englishmen have admired the fielding of ball players it taight be inferred that they are mere spec- tacular than erlcketees, but the ball is easier to handle, being consider- ably lighter and macre springy.

In those days it was no uncommon sight to see a batsman after a long stand leave the wicket wish his left side black and blue from shoulder to ankle. Pads are only a partial protection. In those homeric days Dr. Grace scored 58,896 runs as a batsman and as a bowler took 2,876 wickets. With the possible exception of Fred Arch- er, no figure in the English world of sport in the past fifty -odd years ever commanded the homgge that was yielded to Grace, and Archer reigned for a much shorter time. The cheers of the crowd he accepted with obvious satisfaction, but at the same time with the obvious recogni- tion that they were his due. Like Babe Ruth, he was never seen to such advantage as when he was the centre of a group of admiring boys. Homage of this kind never palls on Babe Ruth, and Dr. Grace was likely to be more genial to schoolboys than to their distinguished superiors, Among the numerous stories that are told about Mtn dtae is repeated by Allanson Shaw in the New York Tunes.took anelevreh down to play Marlborough College, went fit; to bat and scored a run or two, Their f4re daring youth college bowler took a chance, acrd sent down a fast one that Grace was likely to ktxt e r into the middle of the next semester.
