CLARKE.-- Broadway Methodist Sunday School is one of the most prosperous in Toronto and includes several fine Bible clashes, among these is a large one numbering 70 young ladies, which is taught by W. J. Clarke of 96 Wilcox street, brother of J. P. Clarke, Exeter, and on Friday evening last the members of the class gathered at their leader's house and made him the recipient of a handsome travelling case. The presentation was made by Miss Maud Hunt, who in very appropriate remarks, thoroughly re- viewed the history and success of the class since Mr. Clarke's appointment to its leadership, and the very high es- teem in which the recipient was held by its members,and expressed the hest wishes for Mr. Clarke's welfare. The class was a small one when the present teacher took charge,and. by his earnest work it has grown to its present mem- bership and is still increasing. Mr. Clarke,lwho was entirely taken by sur• prise, thanked the donors for their ap- preciation of his work in their and the school's behalf as well as for the many kind things baid reararding himself and for the beautiful present -which marked. not only their appreciation and esteem for him but the harmony which exist- ed between himself and class as teacher and pupils.

D. McInnes was voted to the chair, and in a short address regretted that more interest was not taken in the annual meeting of the society by the public at large, thea; attendance at the meeting being very small. He stated that the society was in excellent financial standing, and that each succeeding fall fair had proven to be better than the previous one. He was pleased to say that the society would soon be out of debt, and asked the treasurer to read his report, which showed total receipts for the year to be $1,203.34, with expenditure at $1,140.51, leaving a balance of $62.83, from which had to be deducted unpaid accounts to the amount of $00.00, leaving a net balance of $2.83, to which was to be added $25.00, rent due. The "society's indebtedness on mortgage is $500 for additional land a fe sed a few. years ago, but w purchased , g P more successful years will enable the directors to liquidate this debt also. The turf club made an application for a rebate of $25.00, ground rent, claiming that $100 a year was too high a figure.ure. There was considerable discussion over the matter, W. G. Bissett, show- ing that the turf club could not realize anything like the sum paid, andbesides it cost them about $30.00 a year to keep the track in condition. There was no action taken. The enrolling of members was next order of business, when some thirty names were reoeiy- ed ; after which the election of officers was proceeded with as follows Presi- dent, Wit.
