The first session was held in the basement of James St. church on Friday evening and the room was packed with people. The parliament was opened by Reeve B. 'W. F. Bea- vers, who acted as Lieut.

The first bill to be introduced was an act respecting boy leadertship and was introdnce•d by Sam Rennie. The bill was threshed out in committee of the whole. The Opposition launched a vigorous attack on the provisions of the bill. The parliament resumed Saturday morning with Deputy -Speaker W: G. Medd in the chair. The final session was held Saturday evening. The Premier introduced a bill for instru- etio-n in the art of public speaking. This he ably defended against some lively criticism from the leader of the Opposition. The different speak- ers handled their subjects well and the battle of wits that raged between government and opposition furnished a great deal of amusement for the audiences. The bills that were brought in and passed were as fol- lows: An act respecting Boys' Lea- dership; eadership; an act respecting Civic Im- provement; an act respecting Fa- ther and Son Week; an act respect- ing hockey; an act respecting an An- nual Athletic Field Day; an act re- specting instruction in the art of pu- blic speaking and nn act to create a Senate to be composed of all boys who have been members of the par- liament for two years. Indoor Games and Amusements The physical side of boy life was not overlooked and on Saturday af- ternoon group games and contests were held. The boys had a lively time and entered heartily into the different events which were keenly contested. The games were under the direction of Mr. W. H. Vaughan of the National Council Y,M,C.A., Toronto, who was here in oonnec- tion with the boys' work. At, the conclusion the boys went off on a paper chase, The Banquet. A banquet was held in the Town Hall on Saturday at six o'clock and was a most sumptuous affair, The menu was excellent and the ladiep had no difficulty in appeasing the ap-, • petites of the boys. The tables were beautifully decorated with Hallow- e'en pumpkins and candles and Hal- lowe'en decorations made the room of striking appearance. The ladies bad spared no trouble in making the room attraotive for the boys and Mr. Vaughan, in complimenting them said he had attended many banquets but he did not recollect having ever at- tended a banquet for boys that sur- passed this one. The banquet was provided by the ladies of the four churches in town with a number of young ladies as waitresses, Mrs. G. Cochrane, at the piano, and Mr. E. Christie, with the drums, provided some stir ; 9n+r +,reale that;drew forth ueeroy applause rrom the boys. The boys also indulged in some yells and sing songs that added spice to the occasion. FuV%in.g the banquet a number of toasts were proposed and respond- ed to, Rev. A. A. Trumper filling the position of toastmaster very accept- ably. The first toast was to the King, proposed by Walter Hauch and responded to by singing "God save the King". Our Parliament was pro- posed by Stuart Stanbury and re- sponded to by Jas. Morley and Maur- ice Harvey. The Sunday Sshools was xoposed by Wesley Heywood and ie- sponded to by W. G. Medd. The La- dies was proposed by Geo. Hind and responded to by Clifton Davis. FoI- Iowing the toasts Mr. Vaughan gave a most interesting talk to the boys comparing a game of ball with the game of life. The Sunday Services. On Sunday morning there was a special service for boys and boy lea- ders in Caven Church when Mr.,"aa u- ghan gave a heart to heart talk 'to the boys that was very impressive. The boys occupied the front centre pews. in the afternoon there was a ser- vice for boys and men in Main St. church when Rev. Mr.Wilson addres- sed the gathering on "The Cheapest thing in South Huron" He gave a. most timely talk on the use of pro- fane language. There was a good attendance. In the evening a union rally ser- vice was held in James St. church and in spite of the rain and disagree- able weather the church was filled. boys again occapied centrepews in the church. On the• platform were Mr. Vaughan, Rev. Mr. Foote, Rev. Mr. McAllister, and the pastor, Rev. Mr. Wilson, all taking part in the service. Mr. Vaughan delivered an excellent address that impressed his hearers. In speaking of boys he said he liked the definition of one boy- who oywho said that boys were the stuff men were made of. It is time the country were taking stock of the raw material for future leaders and citi- zens. Mr. Vaughan won a warm spot in the hearts of the boys and the people of Exeter. The choir fur nished special music and Miss Mar- garet Moodie sang a pleasing solo. • Ntgatattosraustiltrtemetre fah. How far would you travel for your health?
