A Letter from Private Webb.
— •
SPRING% Rabin, Transvaal.
June 25th, 1900.
The following letter had been receiv-
ed by the relatives of Mr Webb here: -
Once more the welcome opportunity
has arrived forus to get mail off • to
-Canada. The . mail leaves to day. I
am at presentperfectly well and happy.
'Our hard work is now finished and we
are waiting orders for a return, to Cape
Team, but its possible we shall- not,
reach Canada until September. This
place is very healthy; most of us are
well and getting that tired look off our
daces. We,ftre quartered in the opera
•Iniuse; that is A, B and 0 el:maws-dies;
we were formerly in the round house
sat this station. •
The nights here areavery cold and
frosty, and,last ;debt we were on :'out-
post" duty, eila when we woke in the
morning ,our blankets were covered
with fros&Vite daytime Is quite dif-
ferent, as we can go around in shirt
sleeves. The coal mines are again
starting to operate, and the country in
leenerid is getting quite "English." it
is useless for me to give you any des-
•cription of our worke with Lord Rob-
erts' operations, as you know the
papers followed our movements up to
the present. I am not at all sorry that
1 -volunteered for this expedition.
am one of the 370 who pulled through
to the end, of what' has been a very
hard and trying ordeal on a green regi-
ment, but toiler as fighting veer we are
through bow. This place is some 22 or
:23 miles from Johannesbrirg,in the con-
tre of the coal mining district, and is.
no doubt, a very busy place when the
mines are in operation, as all that can
be seen for miles around isemokeetacks
and coal and ore dumps scattered over
the vast veldt,
On June 17th (Sunday) I had the
'pleasure of witnessing one of the great
sights of Africa, namely, a Sunday
scene in a "mine compound." (A mine
-compound is the native boarding
houge,owned bythe mining companies,
where they keep the native workmen,
`Zulus, Swasis, Shanghais and others.
All day Sunday they have their war
and other dances, which I witnessed.
Read Henry Stanley's book in this line
and there you will find a grand explan-
ation of it, no onecould believe it, un,'
less you could see it.
We were camped six' miles Mirth of
the city of Johannesburg. aFor one
day we were camped on what is called
the "rand," the richest gold district in
the world, hundreds of mines, millia&c;
dot the hills and valleys for miles east
and west, and white stakes can be seen
of the claims of the mines, won-
derful out here and I am glad to be
able to write, ,and trust we shall see
dear old Canada one more.
RerneMbrances to all.

WILL FRUIT GO 'SOUR.- Canadian
sugar refiners tecently announced an
advanced of ten eents hundred
pounds in all grades of refined sugars,
and it is said a further advance seems
incredible, Since May2Ist'lest granta,
lated and white sugars have been ad-
vanced 70 cents per cwt., and yellows
65 cents per cwt., the principal cause
being. the settlement of the war on
sugars in the States together with the
large output from the refineries. Clin-
ton merchants are now selling at 17
pounds for a dollar, tint the chances are
that they will have to cut off another
pound before many days. Housewives
will find this a perplexing problem to
tackle just now when the "putting
down" preserves has come. So much
sugar is necessary and the advance in
price means something to many. .

A POPULAR VICTORZ.-rt is with
very great pleasure that we inform
our readers of the success of D'. A.
Forrester at the Lawn Bowling tour-
nament held in London last week.
Mr Forrester, who is widreanoven
among thellowling fraternity, entered
for the Singles. This is always a hard,
keenly fought contest. In it a 'player
is thrown entirely on his own resour-
ces He cannot, as in doubles or rink
matches, confer with fellow playere,
and so possibly aitoid errors in judg-
ment. He stands offal's alone. On
the occeeion referred to, the very first
players from Western Ontario entered,
and it battle royal was the result. But
Mr Forreeter's onward march to vic-
tory was unimpeded. From the • firet
to the last,down they fell before his
relentless, unerring, untiring skill.
And when, the end came • it was it
mighty cheer that greeted the prowess
of our townsman. For Mr Forrester
ienot only a good bowler, but he is
it genial,whole-souled Man whom
to . know a privilege. Little wonder
therefore that the Globe styled it as
we have -"A Popular Victory."- We
add, may it not be the last, may
there be more and many of them.
The prize consisted of a high-class
sporting 'Winchester rifle. .
