Brussels had on its holiday dregs and looked very neat with the many banners proolaiming a royal woloome to the vieit- ore, Bags, rows of evergreens, &o., and the auspicious opening of the day as to weather wae of a most satisfactory char. aoter.

Kerr, Reeve, for a few words of weloomo. The obairman returned thanks to the many members of the Order present for their attendance and invited them to to contest in the, evening.

THE 00000113 in the Town Hall in the evening was a marked suooeee and drety an immense audience. Notwithstanding the extra seatinge prooured many were compelled to stand. Mr. Towe presided as chairman and gave a brief introductory speech on the 0. 0. F. The program was an excellent one, seldom equalled in Brussels. Mre. Blank (Agnes Knox) in her readings ably sustained the high re. putation won both in Canada and Europe. "The Lioness" was, probably, her beat effort Monday eveniug. Mrs. Black will always have a welcome here. H. W. Riot, of Toronto, made his forst appearance before an audience in this place. From " Ja-Jah," to "Boys of the old school," with the repeated encores so vociferously demanded, Mr. 13.io11 proved himself master of the situation and did his part so well in ooetume, gesture and song that his future visite will be warm- ly welcomed. The orchestra, H. L. Jackson, conductor, contributed five splendid selections in No. 1 style and well deserved the compliment bestowed upon them by the chairman. Dors. Lep- pard, of Toronto, as accompanist to Mr. Riob did her part faultlessly. ' It waejwell on to 11 p. m. before the National An- them brought the concert to a close. 00105 OF THE DAY.

Sir Oliver, t Empire says, when ques- tioned regarding the rumor that he would soon retire, laughed and replied with an empbatie gesture of the arm :—"I'll re- main Premier until you drive me from power." When Mowat finishes this term he will have been twenty-six years in office.
