LETTERS FROM THE FRONT.
Tile following are extracts from let
ters received in Boulogne, from officers
at the front :
“ Thank yoii very much for the card,
which I received on the 24th.; it was the
only one I got, and I was very pleased to
get it. We are having one of those
pleasant evenings so common out here,
nothing but thunder,lightning and rain.
We managed to have a very fair tithe
last night with the help of some cham-
-ii» it .'F • i' i <* , ,•.«» •
pagne and also some plum puddings
sent
to what we shotdd have had at home,
but very good for out here. . . . There
is no news to tell you; will write after
the next engagement,if I am not punct
ured by a Boer bullet”. Frere,December
26th. 1899.
“ Thank you very much for the
card and photograph, which I received
yesterday— . ... I heard from .... the
other day. He is aw r fully. sick at not
coming out here, otherwise lie seems to
be enjoying himself. There is not much
news to tell you. We have been in this
camp for about three weeks now,with no
news of when we go on. There has been
a lot of firing going on five miles in front
of us to-day, but I haven’t heard what
has happened yet. If we stay here much
longer I shall he ruined. They charge us
ninepence for a bottle of soda-water,
and as you. know I occasionally slake
my thirst with a whisky and soda,conse
quently I am getting stony broke. By
the bye, 1 quite forgot, llow is Bob ?
There will be quite a quantity of crip
ples after the war, probably I shall help
to swell the number. Fancy me with a
wooden leg ! ”. Frere, S. A., January
6 th. 1900.
A letter written in October by an
Anglo-Boulonnais, an officer in
General White’s beleagured camp at
Ladysmith, was only delivered in
London the other day. The letter bore
signs of having been opened, and it is
assumed that it had been intercepted
and read by the Boers, w r ho afterwards
had the good-feeling to despatch it on
to its destination.
TIE NE W ICE WORKS.
We had an opportunity the other day
of going over the new works in course
of completion, accompanied by Mr. C.
E'. ! Early, the managing director of the
Compaguie Transparente de Glace. The
new premises in the Rue Coustantjne,
which were some time ago described in
these columns, now’ begin to assume the
shape they will ultimately form when
in full working order.
The new engine, one of Easton
Anderson’s, capable of developing 300
h. p. and which cost £1000 in London,
is in course of erection in the engine-
room; the boiler,supplied by Galloways,
of Manchester, having already been
securely placed,on its solid foundation of
concrete, in the boiler-house.
In the main building, in which up-
to-date ice-making machinery will
shortly be placed, workmen are busily
engaged erecting,on the first floor, iron
tanks intended to contain the water in
process of conversion into the ice of
commerce familiar to all frequenters of
the harbour. For, be it noted, the new
factpry will be exclusively devoted to
thd manufacture of ice for fish preser
ving purposes. It will serve to demon
strate the stupendous output capacity of
the neW plant,to give the dimensions of
one tank. The figures are: 60 feet long,
by 15 wide ; the weight of iron in its
construction totals no less than 50 tons,
and it will contain 100 tons weight of
water. For the purpose of lifting the ice
from the tanks, an overhead steam
travelling crane will be provided,and,
by a new device, the blocks will be
conveyed to the crushing machinery,
thus considerably reducing labour.
The building plans were designed by
Mr. Early himself, and lie has been
successful in introducing new ideas, of
his own invention, into the working
plant—all of which is being laid down
under his immediate supervision.
Calcutta Steamer Arrives.
TWO SUSPICIOUS DEATHS.
The steamer Raithmoor, of London,
Asldiy ^master, from Calcutta, with
a full cargo of Jute, arrived in the roads
on Sunday.''
Two suspicious deaths having been
reported to the Harbour Authorities as
occurring on the voyage, the steamer
was placed in quarantine, and all
bedding, mattresses, etc. oil board,
were taken on shore for fumigating
purposes.
No illness of any kind having been
discovered, the Ruithiiioor was berthed
in the floating basin on Tuesday, and
the work of discharging commenced.
The Raithmoor is a steamer of 1990
tons net register, of 300 horse power,
and is practically a new vessel, having
been built so recently as last year.
At an interwiew with Captain Ashby,
we learned that the Raithmoor left
Calcutta on December 20. The two
deaths occurred on December 26—six
days after leaving port. There being no
doctor carried on the steamer, it was
impossible to diagnose the disease to
which the men had succumbed ; it was
fever of some kind, but Captain Ashby,
who has considerable experience of
the East, did not think the symptoms
of the men looked like plague symptoms.
At all events, lie w’as granted pratique
at Suez. At Malta, however, the pilot
was not allowed to return on shore,,and
he had to be brought on to Boulogne.
Fine weather was experienced from
Calcutta to Malta, and from Malta to
Boulogne, strong winds and high seas
were encountered.
The Raithmoor will land, here, her
full cargo, consisting of 20.379 bales,
consigned to Messrs. Saint Freres, of
Fliexcourt, Somme.
Madam© Atteleyn’s
INSTITUTE CONCERT. .
The annual concert organised by Mine.
Atteleyn in aid of the British Sailors’
Institute, is always an event to which
the musically inclined' of the colony
look forward with much interest.
This entertainment will take place
tomorrow (Friday) night in the
Institute Rooms, when a real galaxy of
French talent will appear. Among the
artists will be Messrs. Legros and
Pruvost, Mine. Parent, Miles. A. and
C. Vanheeckhoet, and the Mando-
linists. There is one name, however,
we regret to see absent from the pro
gramme, and that is Mine. Attelyn
herself, whose voice will be much mis
sed on this occasion.
Another Accident to the Steamer Stilling.
The Thames steam collier Stelling,
which, it will be remembered, recently,
in leaving the harbour, fouled one of
the pilot cutters’ mooring chains, and
had to return to port to have the chain
removed, while steaming towards Bou
logne on Saturday night, ran ashore on
the East-end of the Ridge, about
thirteen miles off the port.
Fortunately it was dead low water
when she struck,andafter remaining fast
for only five or six minutes, the Stel
ling floated off, apparently uninjured.
The steamer docked on Sunday morn
ing, and left i: again for the Tyne on
Tuesday afternoon.
The Mandolinisls’ Concei t.
The first grand concert this season
ofles Amateurs Ocariens Mandolinistes,
as we announced last week, took place
in the Salon Ste. Beuve on Monday
evening last.
The audience was both large and
appreciative, proving that M. Cannas
and his colleagues’ efforts to provide a
real musical treat are sure of reward.
The concert opened with selections,
of M. Cannas’ own composition,skilfully
played by the Mandolinists. M. Dumon-
tier, Jeune, who possesses a tenor voice
of rare sweetness, followed with the
Grand air de “ Joseph ” (Mehul) ;
M. Pruvost coming after with the violin,
which he played, in Zigeuneriveisen
(Airs Bohemians, Sarasate),with speak
ing effect. M. Merville, in Une Poignee
de Temoihs , proved himself an artist t#f
high merit, as did also Mile Pauline
Vaillant in the Grand air des “ Nocesde
Jeannette ”. In the Reverie 0, (Schumann)
and Tarentelle x \ contre-bassiste, M. Nan-
nay was delightful, his voice being
mellow and of great compass.

CORRESPONDENCE.
THE CARNIVAL.
To the Editor of the
r North Off France Times.
Sir,
The ideas of your correspondents
about the Carnival are goodOnes, and
should receive support] I quite agree
with them that the Carnival, if properly
managed, would attract numbers of
strangers to the town. And in a winter
of exceptional dullness, ns this has been,
we ought to do something to stir up
things a hit. w

SHILLING
FUND CONCERT WANTED.
To the Editor of the ,
North of France Times.
Sir,
Seeing the huge success attending
the recent concert given in aid of the
Lord Mayor’s Funds, it occurs to me
that an entertainment oil behalf of the
Daily Telegraph shilling fund, would
meet wit h hearty support from members
of the Colony. My suggestion is that
the charges should he one shilling for
the ordinary seats, and, ,say, two for
the reserved.
Of course. 1 can see it would be too
much to ask of the members of the
B.A.D.S. to organise another conbert,
but, perhaps, certain of their number
would lend assistance and advice. I he
idea, in any case, is good, as the cause
is good, and I shall hope to heal* that
some one of your readers bus taken the
mutter up.
1 enclose my card.
Yours, etc.,

Rue de Calais,
Boulogne, February 5, J900-
FOOTBALL.
Tourcoing' Triumphs.
At the match on Sunday afternoon,
between the Union Sportive Boulon-
naise and thi Union Sportive Tour-
quennoise, thtre must have been getting
on for two tlousand spectators on the
Place de Captcure during the progress
of the game. L’he opposing teams were
as follows ;
UNION SPORTIVE BOULONNAISK
Goal : Lonnier ; Backs : Soral and
Her!in ; Hilf-hacks : G. Leblanc,
Demoncheaux (cap.),’ find J. Leblanc ;
Forwards : Cutreau, Duhamel, Poign-
ieut; Duhame, and Masset.
UNION SPOitTIVE TOURQUENNOISE
Goal: Van Lai them ; Backs: Tarel
and Detousscau ; Half-hacks : Hemriek,
Wattel (cap.) and Stien*; Forwards ;
Bonte, Fleurj, Duthoit, II. Morel and
Malfait.
With the kick-off, Boulogne took
possession of the ball and carried it
well in front of the Tourcoing goal,
but Van Lailhem had little difficulty
in defending. Somewhat even play
followed — tin ball traversing the field
from end to eid. Very early, however,
in the game, it was evident that Boulogne
would have all their work cut out to
save a severe defeat. The northern men
were superioi, physically, to the home
team, and it vas easily seen that the
Tourcoing captain had his men well
in hand.
Seeing a possible opening, Wattel
passed grandly to Morel and the latter,
with a grand shot, beat Lormier,
Tourcoing thin scoring first goal, which
also, indeed, vas the last. Up till the
call of half time nothing further of
particular interest transpired, except,
perhaps, one cr two fine runs put in by
young Duhamel — the newest recruit
to the local fiist elevens.
Directly after the resumption, Bou
logne played a fast and furious game,
and several brilliant rushes were
observed, in which young Duhamel
was again conspicuous, and from a
nicely calcubtd shot from Sorel, De-
monebeaux jnssed to the left wing,
and Duhamel re-passed to Outreau,
hut, although the latter tried hard, he
failed to centre.
Meanwhile, the visitors’ captain
decided upon his men playing purely r
on the defensive and determined-not
to give his opponents a chance of
equalizing,therefore,so far as Tourcoing
were conceried, the game became
one against time, and as Boulogne
failed to break down the admirable
defence of tleir opponents, the match
ended in a \iotory for Tourcoing by
1 goal to 0.
The tactics of Wattel were admirable
throughout, md not least admirable
was his deteimination not to risk the
position of his club for the chainpion-
sliip of the Nord,by over zeal after lie
had the matcl in hand.
The winners played a fine game,
each man giving his undivided attention
to the work n hand ; not so the Bou
logne men—cr at least some of them —
who seemed at times to give more
attention to friends in the crowd, than
to the business of the game.

( The London Daily of February 28 th, 1899 .
Says — “ We have before ns a circular
issued by Messrs. Byrne and Co., of 95,
High Holborn, W. C., the well-known
expert company registration agents, who
undertake compuny formation and placing
of debentures and shares in all brunches. It
is often far easier to secure capital when the
liability is limited (by getting a number of
people to subscribe large or small amounts)
than to induce one individual to invest
capital in a partnership. Many people
naturally object to embark in an unlimited
risk. Say a man puts £1000 in a partner
ship, the business, however sound, may
meet with failure, and lie becomes involved
in heavy partnership liabilities — perhaps
ruins himself, If lie had taken shares in a
limited liability company lie would have
saved this and known the limit of bis loss.
Messrs. Byrne undertake the preparation,
revision,and printingof proper memorandum
and articles of association, the lodging of
same with the Registrar of Joint Stock
Companies, the preparation and revision of
the prospectus of the company — a most
important factor, too — the drafting of an
attractive prospectus cannot be over
estimated. Messrs. Byrne assist in placing
debentures and shares upon a moderate
payment for commission. Any one desiring
to convert bis business into a limited
liability syndicate or company should send
full particulars of their requirements
to Messrs. Byrne, and seek their advice
and terms for assisting in raising the
capital, as they have at present several
wealthy clients who are waiting suitable
investment in limited companies. Messrs.
Byrne only entertain sound concerns where
past tradinglias been successful, or where
the prospects are sufficiently promising to
enable them to recommended to their in
vesting clients as worthy of financial
support ”.

At an interwiew with Captain Ashby,
we learned that the Raithmoor left
Calcutta on December 20. The two
deaths occurred on December 26—six
days after leaving port. There being no
doctor carried on the steamer, it was
impossible to diagnose the disease to
which the men had succumbed ; it was
fever of some kind, but Captain Ashby,
who has considerable experience of
the East, did not think the symptoms
of the men looked like plague symptoms.
At all events, lie w’as granted pratique
at Suez. At Malta, however, the pilot
was not allowed to return on shore,,and
he had to be brought on to Boulogne.
Fine weather was experienced from
Calcutta to Malta, and from Malta to
Boulogne, strong winds and high seas
were encountered.
The Raithmoor will land, here, her
full cargo, consisting of 20.379 bales,
consigned to Messrs. Saint Freres, of
Fliexcourt, Somme.
Madam© Atteleyn’s
INSTITUTE CONCERT. .
The annual concert organised by Mine.
Atteleyn in aid of the British Sailors’
Institute, is always an event to which
the musically inclined' of the colony
look forward with much interest.
This entertainment will take place
tomorrow (Friday) night in the
Institute Rooms, when a real galaxy of
French talent will appear. Among the
artists will be Messrs. Legros and
Pruvost, Mine. Parent, Miles. A. and
C. Vanheeckhoet, and the Mando-
linists. There is one name, however,
we regret to see absent from the pro
gramme, and that is Mine. Attelyn
herself, whose voice will be much mis
sed on this occasion.
Another Accident to the Steamer Stilling.
The Thames steam collier Stelling,
which, it will be remembered, recently,
in leaving the harbour, fouled one of
the pilot cutters’ mooring chains, and
had to return to port to have the chain
removed, while steaming towards Bou
logne on Saturday night, ran ashore on
the East-end of the Ridge, about
thirteen miles off the port.
Fortunately it was dead low water
when she struck,andafter remaining fast
for only five or six minutes, the Stel
ling floated off, apparently uninjured.
The steamer docked on Sunday morn
ing, and left i: again for the Tyne on
Tuesday afternoon.
The Mandolinisls’ Concei t.
The first grand concert this season
ofles Amateurs Ocariens Mandolinistes,
as we announced last week, took place
in the Salon Ste. Beuve on Monday
evening last.
The audience was both large and
appreciative, proving that M. Cannas
and his colleagues’ efforts to provide a
real musical treat are sure of reward.
The concert opened with selections,
of M. Cannas’ own composition,skilfully
played by the Mandolinists. M. Dumon-
tier, Jeune, who possesses a tenor voice
of rare sweetness, followed with the
Grand air de “ Joseph ” (Mehul) ;
M. Pruvost coming after with the violin,
which he played, in Zigeuneriveisen
(Airs Bohemians, Sarasate),with speak
ing effect. M. Merville, in Une Poignee
de Temoihs , proved himself an artist t#f
high merit, as did also Mile Pauline
Vaillant in the Grand air des “ Nocesde
Jeannette ”. In the Reverie 0, (Schumann)
and Tarentelle x \ contre-bassiste, M. Nan-
nay was delightful, his voice being
mellow and of great compass.

CORRESPONDENCE.
THE CARNIVAL.
To the Editor of the
r North Off France Times.
Sir,
The ideas of your correspondents
about the Carnival are goodOnes, and
should receive support] I quite agree
with them that the Carnival, if properly
managed, would attract numbers of
strangers to the town. And in a winter
of exceptional dullness, ns this has been,
we ought to do something to stir up
things a hit. w

SHILLING
FUND CONCERT WANTED.
To the Editor of the ,
North of France Times.
Sir,
Seeing the huge success attending
the recent concert given in aid of the
Lord Mayor’s Funds, it occurs to me
that an entertainment oil behalf of the
Daily Telegraph shilling fund, would
meet wit h hearty support from members
of the Colony. My suggestion is that
the charges should he one shilling for
the ordinary seats, and, ,say, two for
the reserved.
Of course. 1 can see it would be too
much to ask of the members of the
B.A.D.S. to organise another conbert,
but, perhaps, certain of their number
would lend assistance and advice. I he
idea, in any case, is good, as the cause
is good, and I shall hope to heal* that
some one of your readers bus taken the
mutter up.
1 enclose my card.
Yours, etc.,

Boulogne, February 5, J900-
FOOTBALL.
Tourcoing' Triumphs.
At the match on Sunday afternoon,
between the Union Sportive Boulon-
naise and thi Union Sportive Tour-
quennoise, thtre must have been getting
on for two tlousand spectators on the
Place de Captcure during the progress
of the game. L’he opposing teams were
as follows ;
UNION SPORTIVE BOULONNAISK
Goal : Lonnier ; Backs : Soral and
Her!in ; Hilf-hacks : G. Leblanc,
Demoncheaux (cap.),’ find J. Leblanc ;
Forwards : Cutreau, Duhamel, Poign-
ieut; Duhame, and Masset.
UNION SPOitTIVE TOURQUENNOISE
Goal: Van Lai them ; Backs: Tarel
and Detousscau ; Half-hacks : Hemriek,
Wattel (cap.) and Stien*; Forwards ;
Bonte, Fleurj, Duthoit, II. Morel and
Malfait.
With the kick-off, Boulogne took
possession of the ball and carried it
well in front of the Tourcoing goal,
but Van Lailhem had little difficulty
in defending. Somewhat even play
followed — tin ball traversing the field
from end to eid. Very early, however,
in the game, it was evident that Boulogne
would have all their work cut out to
save a severe defeat. The northern men
were superioi, physically, to the home
team, and it vas easily seen that the
Tourcoing captain had his men well
in hand.
Seeing a possible opening, Wattel
passed grandly to Morel and the latter,
with a grand shot, beat Lormier,
Tourcoing thin scoring first goal, which
also, indeed, vas the last. Up till the
call of half time nothing further of
particular interest transpired, except,
perhaps, one cr two fine runs put in by
young Duhamel — the newest recruit
to the local fiist elevens.
Directly after the resumption, Bou
logne played a fast and furious game,
and several brilliant rushes were
observed, in which young Duhamel
was again conspicuous, and from a
nicely calcubtd shot from Sorel, De-
monebeaux jnssed to the left wing,
and Duhamel re-passed to Outreau,
hut, although the latter tried hard, he
failed to centre.
Meanwhile, the visitors’ captain
decided upon his men playing purely r
on the defensive and determined-not
to give his opponents a chance of
equalizing,therefore,so far as Tourcoing
were conceried, the game became
one against time, and as Boulogne
failed to break down the admirable
defence of tleir opponents, the match
ended in a \iotory for Tourcoing by
1 goal to 0.
The tactics of Wattel were admirable
throughout, md not least admirable
was his deteimination not to risk the
position of his club for the chainpion-
sliip of the Nord,by over zeal after lie
had the matcl in hand.
The winners played a fine game,
each man giving his undivided attention
to the work n hand ; not so the Bou
logne men—cr at least some of them —
who seemed at times to give more
attention to friends in the crowd, than
to the business of the game.

" (jffiniuuial Strath ’’
( The London Daily of February 28 th, 1899 .
Says — “ We have before ns a circular
issued by Messrs. Byrne and Co., of 95,
High Holborn, W. C., the well-known
expert company registration agents, who
undertake compuny formation and placing
of debentures and shares in all brunches. It
is often far easier to secure capital when the
liability is limited (by getting a number of
people to subscribe large or small amounts)
than to induce one individual to invest
capital in a partnership. Many people
naturally object to embark in an unlimited
risk. Say a man puts £1000 in a partner
ship, the business, however sound, may
meet with failure, and lie becomes involved
in heavy partnership liabilities — perhaps
ruins himself, If lie had taken shares in a
limited liability company lie would have
saved this and known the limit of bis loss.
Messrs. Byrne undertake the preparation,
revision,and printingof proper memorandum
and articles of association, the lodging of
same with the Registrar of Joint Stock
Companies, the preparation and revision of
the prospectus of the company — a most
important factor, too — the drafting of an
attractive prospectus cannot be over
estimated. Messrs. Byrne assist in placing
debentures and shares upon a moderate
payment for commission. Any one desiring
to convert bis business into a limited
liability syndicate or company should send
full particulars of their requirements
to Messrs. Byrne, and seek their advice
and terms for assisting in raising the
capital, as they have at present several
wealthy clients who are waiting suitable
investment in limited companies. Messrs.
Byrne only entertain sound concerns where
past tradinglias been successful, or where
the prospects are sufficiently promising to
enable them to recommended to their in
vesting clients as worthy of financial
support ”.
