SUCCESSFIL TOURNAMENT akT • TRAMI-IS RoAD PARK A very successful baseball tourna- ment was held at the Thames Road ball park on Labor Day. The wea- ther was. tine and there was a large croWd present. Many of, the far - mere, were not through harvest and conAPquently the gate receipts while largp were not as large as they ot- henivise would have been. The teaMs taking part in the baseball touittnament were Seaforth, St, ,Malys, Exeter •and Fullarton, while theIeams competing in the girls soft half • games were Kirkton, Chisel- huilit; Centralia, and" Staffa. Sea - forth and St. Marys were the first to titer the field and in the first innings" II: 'Shier, . the St. Marys cateher started the scoring by bat- tinaie out a home run knocking it oyez; the fence. The game resulted 4 to e•aain favor of St. Marys.- The battery for Seaforth was Kerslake and Kerslake. The battery for St Marys was Krueger and Shier. The latter„ was hit on the finger by a ball and retired in favor of Ander- son, !„ The second garae was played between Exeter and Fullarton and the latter won by the score of 11 to 10. The Exeter battery was Law- son end -Ford and the Fullarton bat- tery was Goodley and Kerslake. The play off was between Fullarton and St. Marys. The first games started - shortly after one o'clock and the last game had just nicely got start- ed when the shades of evening be- gan to fall. In the first half of the fifth innings with the score 7 to 5 in. fa -or of Fullarton H. Shier met 2 with a nasty accident whicli was an unfortunate ending to an otlherivise perfect day. It was just at dusk and a little 'too dark for baseball and the catcher failed to see the pitched bail that was traveliing fast and the ball struck him below the heart. He was rent • tiered' unconscions. ant% Graham, of Exeter was sent for hut it was' Sqrne` time before, the ,injured 'man wee able to be taken from th.e field. , The game ended and the two. teams •divided the fifty dollars' given for prizes. Hugh Berry, of Kirkton, umpired at the plate and Bruce Mit- chell. of Centralia, the bases, Shortly "-after two o'clock the girl's softball was started with Kirkton and Chiselhurst taking the field first. While the crowd was fairly evenly divided between the two crowds it was soon evident that the majority of the rooters were spec- tators of the girls games. ChiSel- hurst were on top in the scoring throughout the game the score be- ing 9 to 8. Staffa and Centralia wee the next to take the field and for the first few inning e it looked as if Centralia, were going to be easy whInere but the teani went ....in the air and Staffa emerged vietorions in a game full of thrills. The play ,off between the winning teams saw more runs scored than in the other two games combined.

SOFT BALL TEAM W112.sZS LEAGUE James St, won the town soft ball league in one of. the most exciting games of the season when it defeat- ed Trivitt Memorial, team for the se- cond time in the play off on Thurs- day evening of last week. The score was 14 to 12. There was a large attendance each team with a strong following of rooters. Trivitt start; led the scoring in. the first of the se- cond innings when they scored four runs. But they didn't hold the lead very long for they went to pieces when they took the field and before James St, were retired every man on the team hut one had ,crossed the plate. The league has been a splen- did success creating no little amusde ment. A keen and good natured rivalry existed among the various teams. The line up.- - 'IllianaTTe---Hertzel lb; L.

It is ed -called froin the aldeet portion, the White Tower, ' castle built by William' the Conqueror, round Which twolines of ''fortifications and a 'moat :were subsequently added. ' Visitors outer under the charge of a warder, and pass through ....the Middle Tower across the 'moat which is dry and converted into a drill ground,' and through the Byward Tower into the Outer Ward between the two lines' of fortifications.' On the left iS the Bell Tower, dating from the' period of Rid:a-it'd I, the Ring's House, the Bloody Tower and the: Wakefield Tower, On the right is St. 'Thomaa Tower built by Henry• III and be- neath it tile arch with the water gateway Called Traitor's 'Gate. Thru an opening in the wall we reach. the Inner Ward. In the centre of the 'Ward is the White Tower, 90 feet high, 116x117 feet and the walls are 11 to 15 It. thick. The White Tower contains the National collec- tion of arms and armour, the cloak in Which: General Wolfe died at' Quebec, the gun- carriage used at Ring Edward's funeral, Lord Kit- chener's appeal for recruits, many and varied instruments of torture, every kind of small firearm, swords, body armour for man and horse. Tower Green is in the south west corner of the Inner Ward. An en- closure marks the site of the scaf- fold erected for the execution of the Countess of Salisbury, Anne Boleyn, Catherine Howard, Lady Jane Grey and the Earl of Essex. On the west in Beauchamp Tower dating from the 13th century; • the wails of one room particularly are covered with carvings and inscrim tions made by prisoners in the 16th, century. To the south is the King's House where Anne Boleyn spent her last night and where Guy Fawkes was tried. Eastward is the Bloody Tower, built in the 14th century. 'Here the young' Princes, Edward V and his brother were murdered in 1483; Sir Walter Raleigh was imprisoned for 12 years, and a gallery -is known as Raleigh's Walk, tOther famoua pris- oners were Bishops Cranmer, Ridley :lid Latimer; Archibishop Laud and Judge Jeffery_ Wakefield Tower is known as the e.Wel House, built,by Henry '111. vliere are shown the crown jewels, ithluding the Cron of England, uade for Charles II, the crown, for ueen Victoria's coronation contain - ng nearly 3000 diamonds,. ,the Im- erial state -crown of .King George „ containing over 6000 -diamond, ueen Mary's state crown, contain - rig the famous Koh-i-noor diamond f the late Queen Victoria, the Roy - 1 Sceptre, etc. • The warder or guide who takes eu through. the tower is 'a veritable Inc of information .and as you pro- eed he gives a running tallt on the arions.:features, which is most , in- ructive and interesting to the vis- ofea,nd a small tip here and there eeps up the flow of talk for sev- ral hours. a V st it Old Curiosity Shop One must not miss a few moments in Old Curiosity Shop, off Fleet St. behind t1xee/4w, caltrts. itis but a: wee ,rooni or. tWo.' in an - ancient, building, now used as a post g card, and 'souvenir shop,, hut the •assoc-, iations which the great writer •Dick-. ensi built around this old spot makes it Very interesting.

Cheshire Cheese • Wisdom has come to a certain Exeter man with the years. On the occasion of his sixty-first birthday Pc said; -"As We now view matters, from a mere mature nralerstanding, we realize that all tho good people do not belong to ottr lodge, that al' Christians are not found in any per - Ocular church, and that graft and dishoilestY is about equally divided aniong the various party organizat- ions." Among the odd little eating 'houses of fame, the haunts of the 'wits of olden days, is Cheshire Cheese, up a, narrow alley off Fleet St. Here Dr. Johnston and his friends made revel, and where still one may enjoy a famous 'pudding, 'containing steak, 'lark, kidney, mushroom, oyster and spites. The original date of the building is sonie centuries prior to 1667 when it was rebuilt. In this neighborhood, too, is the -"Olde Cock" which is also famed ae an old hatint of "the Doc- tor," at has resi gua ser stoo to, 1 Core of, B ban yeli of a rais with play relie Changing the Otl'ard The changing of the foot gnard Si.

The Thantee em- bankments form a continuous riv- erside drive extending front the western extremity of Thames street to Chelsea, a distance of four miles, and has various names --Victoria, Milbank, G•tosvenor. Road, Albert and Chelsea. All along the drive are beatitiful flower gardens, lawns and parks, and great' masses of people congregate in Vie afternoons and evenings to enjoy the pleashnt walks, the fIOvvere and the music from many bands. 1' Victoria Embankment lies at the ,side of the Cecil, and extends be- tween Blackfriars and the Houses of Parliament. It was opened in 1870 and is fringed' by pleasant gardens and notableejmildings, such as the City of London school, the Temple, Somerset House, the Savoy Hotel, Hotel Cecil, Adelphi Terrace, White- hall Courts, National Liberal club, and New Scotland Yard. Along its length of one mile are many monu- ments, chief among. them being the Obelisk, called Cleopatra's Needle, now pitted with the marks of bombs dropped during the air raids on London, and the Memorial Of Bel- gium's gratitude. The. Bridges Across the eleven miles of tide- way of the Thames between Upper Pool. and • Hammersmith are bus' - teen large' bridges for general traf- fic. Chief among them in Central London are, Tower, London, South- wark, Blackfriars, Waterloo and Westminister. Tower is a suspension bridge near the Tower of London and its bas- cules can be raised and lowered in one minute. London Bridge is a fine structure, but at the present times is fulfilling the prophecy in the old rhyme "London Bridge is falling down", as one of the centre spans has sunk several inches, and the bridge is. closed to traffic. We .saw workmen, as we passed under it, trying to force the span baelt in- to ,position,, but it as feared that it will • all have to be replaced. Wat- erloo is the .finest and oldest of the bridges and .was opened on the se- cond Anniversary of the Battle of Waterloo, June' 18; 1817. It is 1240. feet long but,only 274 feet wide. • , The Sholps As ,in Brussels and • paris, so in, London, the women, w,ant to spend it to* hours in. thbons. They do not call them stores. In,a city thir- tysirfiles square there ab, ,of course, shops all overthePlace,-and of every' conceivable kind. But the real shop- , , ping paradise of the city is in what is called, the West End—that is, the , west end of centre ,London—Oxford ;Regent and Bond etreets. The shops are beautiful, althotigh not as large as departmental stares in some cities but more money is spent here than in any other quarter of the globe. The treasures of the -world find their way here, are admiretlesold. and re- turn to all the corne,rs of the earth. Regent is a. street of fair clothes, furs and jewels—Swan, & ..Edgars, Liberty's, Paris Galerie, Dickens' &'• Jones and Jays. :Oxford has im- mense stores—Selfridges; Marshall & Snelgrove's, John; Lewis', Peter, Robinson's. Bond, street•has jewels for the over riche tapestries almogt beyond price. Then not far away is Harrod's, Barker's, and -Whitley's.

All the leading schools of painters' are here` represented. There is no need to name them or to attempt to describe 'the pictures, while the ifrst might be clone it is utterly impossible to do the latter. Suffice it to say that one conld spend many days within its Walls and still he in ignorance of many of the valu- able pictures Contained in the thirty six rooms or galleries. Of course there are scores of oth- er art galleries in London.—in fact the great public -halls, the great resi- dences in town and 'Country have So many beautifal pictures that they may ail be described as art galleries, hunclrede on hundrecis*of thent. Trait sliort There is no trouble to.get about in London. You can go bY motorbus, tramway, underground,: trunk, line or fly overhead. All you need is tbe price and not much of that, And If you lose your way any poliCeirfan on any corner can tell you how to get anywhere in ,the shortest possi- ble time. You caithot stick a police- man on anything,, and he tells you so nicely to. The double -deck busses are lots of, fun, the under- grottral is a real experience and a dandy way to make a short cut a- cross the city—and so easy once Yott get on the right line.

Madame Tussaud's Madame TussO,ud's Waxworks was missed by few of the press par- ty. Commenced first in England in 1802, it was' on tour for about 30 years and finally settled, permalfent- '1Y on Baker St. in 183.3, About two hours are needed to view the many figures in wax work, and to say the least, they are very realistic. One is. -tempted at times to speak to the wax, policemen here and there, or to shake hands with the kings and queens, or enquire for informa- tion from the lady secretaries in various corners:- A great many of the notable people of the world, par- ticularly during the last ,century', kings, queens, nobles, statesmen, sportsmen, poets, authors, preachers editors, generals, explorerersemrses etc., are' shown. Some dead, some still living. It is very interesting to try to name them without refer- ence to the catalogue. One room is devoted to pictures and relics, while another is called the Chamber of Horrors, and another has tableaux of historicel scenes. To be appre- ciated it must be seen. The Theatres The Hotel Cecil Is almost in the centre of the theatre and music hall district, while cinemas are scatter- ed all over the city by the hundreds. A few minutes walk will bring' one to -almost anyone of fifty places of this nature, but in the busy sea- son it is a more difficult matter, to obtain seats. Sometimes one had to telephone a half dozen Places 'be- fore-oseats could be secured. How- eveer, the most of the party spent the few evenings we had free in visiting some of the more impor- tant theatres. Any kind , of a pro- duction ina,y be seen, or ,heard -- from grand opera tti, vaudeville . Covent Garden, Drury Lane,the Ly- ceum, Gaiety, Daly's the Winter Gardens, His Majesty's, The Coli- seum, the. Palladium, The Alhambra Victoria Palace, Albert Hall , and Queen's Hall are among the impor- tant nearby theatrep,oxiusidand corb cert halls. Parks and Gardens Contrary to tne' general opinion London is not all streets and builld, ings. Few cities are so richly en- dowed with parks, gardens and open spaces. They have been called the lungs of London and consist of crown lands, of estates acquired for parks, gardens and commons that have been preserved from enelosure They are distributed, over the city, but central London has a great share One can wander around to no end, almost, admiring the gardens, the flowers, the little lakes and canals in St. James Park, the Green Park, Hyde Park (640 acres) Regents Park (411 acres.); Kensington Gar- dens; Royal Botanic Gardens, Zoo- logical Gardens, Kew Gardens and many municipal parks, gardens, and commons.
