Luke 14 t30, "This man began to build and was not able to finish" was the text from which Rev, le.

The attendance exceeded the most sanguine expectatiOns of the commit- tee, and the interest in the program never flagged from start to finish. Probably the locarjon of Hygeia Hall added to the increased attend- ance. This hall is what was former- ly known as Elm Street 10thodist Church and is only a few yains from Yonge Street and about half way - between Queen and College streets. It has been re -fitted and re -modelled and has all the requisites of a high class entertainment and dining hall. Well lighted, well heated, with dress- ing' rooms, cloak rooms, dining room and kitchen, and kitchen utensils. Sixty tables were devoted to euch- re and bridge, whilst many old boys and girls occupied the cushioned side benches, and enjoyed the social chat, and reminiscences of 010 Hur- on. During the progress of the games, a splendid musical program was carried on, the artists being Mrs - Russell Marshall, soprano; Miss Mile dred Brown, pianist°, anci Mr. Ern- ie Bruce, entertainer, and all their renditions were well received by the audience. Much disappointment was felt at the unavoidable absence, through illness, of Mrs. H. B. Stowe and Mrs. H. I. Morrish, both vice presidents, and Mesdames R. C. Ring, W. H. Ferguson and IT. Martin, all active members of the association. They were much missed and the sympathy of the members event out to thetn. The prize winnerswere as follows: Faichre, gentlemen, 1st, Mr. Lam- onby; 2nd, Mr. Blackader. Ladies. 1st, Mrs. H. Worsell, 2n0, Mrs. B. Humphrey, Bridge, Miss Luey Bow- er. There were also special table prizes for Bridge. At. the close of the program, a splendid menu of refreelnnente was served, and much credit is due to the committee composeri of Mes- de/nee D. Thompson, McLaren, Mc- Creath, Moon, Cobblediek, and Mr N. B. Cobbledick. Everybody wne well sers-ed and without any delay. Notes John Moonnend R. C. Kine entre- e(' like beavers.
