Oa Canada'* Free Homestead Lssdh Wetaskfwln, Alta., April 5,1888. W. F. McCreary, Government Immigration Commissdon«r, Winnipeg: Dear Sir—l like the country very much so far. Have Been a great number of farmers from tbe States, and every one seen so far saye tH done well and like It hereAx better than where they came fremind all claim R to be the best country for a poor man; that they were ever in, and with good crops this season I predict a great rush. There are some nice claims to be had yet, but will not last long. 1 do not find It any colder tbaa In lowa and am feeling much better than when I left there March 1, I think this a great country for those who are suffering with throat amLlung troubles. I have seen men that had as high as 51% bushels wheat per acre and sear 100 bushels oats, but they weigh from 45 to 51 pounds per bushel, but tbe general run Is 25 to 50 wheat, 50 to 75 oats, and stock looking fine; some cattle running out were nearly in market flesh. V expect to return to the States lato this fail for stock, etc. Will write yon when 1 want to go. Thanking yon aU for past favors, I remain, most respectfully yours, (Signed) DR. D. E. STREVELIi.

Sunday night, Feb. 19, will be iaaogurated at McVicker's Theater in Chicago the run of “Sporting Life,” the most remarkable success of tbe theatrical season. Early in September this play yra* produced at the Academy of Music in Xew York and it has been running there ever since to the capacity of this the largest theater in America. But for Jacob Litt’s promise to his McVicker’s Theater patrons it would be there still. It is acknowledged the best melodrama ever brought from England, and it is certainly the most magnificent production of a play ever made in this eountry. There are sixteen scenes in the live acts which are necessary to the telling of the story and scene was painted by a master of the craft. Two hundred people are used in the production and the cast of over fifty speaking parts is made up of the very cream of the actors and actresses of America. As the title suggests, the play is based on the sport loving proclivities of the English speaking races. The is a young English nobleman, the Earl of Woodstock. His passion for racing has brought him to the verge of bankruptcy and only the victory of his great mare. Lady Love, in the historic Derby can save him. How the evil genii of the pla.V try to prevent this victory and how they strive to bring disgrace on the fine old family name forms a story of great strength and interest. Lady Love finally runs the race and wins it in a most Impressive fashion, but the spectators have been through three hours of hairbreadth escapes, tremendously stirring events and thrilling complications. “Sporting LifeV’ engagement at McVicker's Theater -will be the most important event theatrically iar the city of Chicago. “
