One of tlie,olevorest and most
humorous frauds over operated in
Canada has been discovered by the
Toronto police. The dupes who are
said to number many scores, are of
the fraternity known as "sports" ;
gentlemen who have a line on the
t'ponies, " and aro at home in the
baldheaded row. The fraud was
discovered by the following adver-
tisement which appeared in several
Canadian papers. "On receipt of
one dollar we will send, securely
sealed a beautiful bound book, of
four hundred pages full of good
things. The most wonderful book
ever written, Wrench and English
' translation. Prohibited in some
1 countries. Every sport should have
one. Write at once." The "wise
guys," who parted with four of the
Queen shillings in the hope of
securing some spicy reading,receiv-
ed by return of mail—a 15c copy of
the Bible. The firm who sent out
the advertisement has its head-
quarters in Toronto. Itis quite
unlikely however, that the police
will spoil so good a joke,, or that
they could if they would,for all the
precedent which makes it necessary pi onhises in the advertisement wore
that they must new abide by, and filled.
