         CAPT. WRIGHT'S FUNERAL
         
         The body of Captain WILLIAM H. WRIGHT, of the James
       Carruthers, was brought to Toronto yesterday afternoon,
       and the funeral took place from his residence at No. 92
       Delaware avenue at 2:30 this afternoon. Rev. R. J. Moore,
       of St. George's Episcopal Church, conducted the ceremony,
       and the commander of the Carruthers was laid to rest in
       Prospect Cemetery. The chief mourners were his wife and
       little daughter, his mother, MRS> EDWARD LANKIN, CAPT.
       JAMES EWART, of Toronto, A. G. GIBSON, Cleveland, G. J.
       GIBSON, Toronto, GEORGE T. IRWIN, Toronto, ROBERT LOUDON,
       Toronto.
       
         A simple tribute was contained in a wreath of white
       roses. It bore a card on which was the name JAMES CAR-
       RUTHERS, after whom the ship was named. Besides flowers
       from a large number of friends, a wreath was sent from
       the Lakeview Curling Club, of which CAPTAIN WRIGHT was
       a member, and whose officers acted as pall-bearers.
       
         The pall-bearers were CHARLES SNOW, ROBERT YOUNG, 
       HENRY BAYLISS, DR. T. F. WYLIE, JAMES SWORD, J. J.
       BRENNAN. The members of the club made a special request
       that they be allowed to act.
