It has an enormous influence; it is a paper which at least one-half of the grown individuals in this country desire to see, and upon which a very large proportion pin their faith. So influential was it that some of the Re• I formers said, instead of 'Give us this day our daily bread,' 'Give ns this day our daily Globe.'

At the moetin of the Retail Mer- chants' Assooiat' n on Tuesday evening a resolution w passed to the effect that hereafter the members of the Association ref in from subscribing money in aid of ubs or other lines of spert or for the idiug in demonstra- tions. It was felt that the business men of the town were eing asked too often to subscribe to arious things and if the practise ere to continue it would mean a hen tax on them. All present were in he arty sympathy with the movement. T'lrile this action on the part of the As'io,:iation may seem somewhat of a limn have hitherto obtr way, it does not n dship to those who ined funds in this lean that the mer- chants are not in fa'ior of these gamer. for it must bo admit: ed that they have always been and am onbtedly will con- tinue to be among tin most loyal patrons of all kinds of sport.. Should there be a celebration in the toren, held under the of an club nd iti. auspices wi s shown y , to have been a losing e_uture . the mer- chants expressed th quite willing to assist u making up the deficit.
