1-10, FOR TI3E TWENTY-FOURTH.
Sunday next is the 24th, the birth-
day of Victoria the Good aul,a holi-
day which every British subject feels
belong to him exclusively. Monday
the 25th, will of course, be ob'servew
this year.
Atter the succession of Ring George
there was a good deal' of talk of
charIIing the holiday from May 21th
to June 3rd, ilia latter date being
King George's birthday, A5 it would
mean but 10 dvlys difference it looks as
if the change might be made, but, af-
ter' all, the 24th has so long been the
holiday of the year, ushering in the
summer, opening up the season of
summer sports, etc that a change
would not prove popular and , it
would be many a lords day before the
majority of people would become ac-
customed to it. Lets stick to Vic-
e oris+ Day, the hoirday clear to the
1'rar"t ',of cr:ory true Britisher. By
the way, does-. ,anydrdy know of a

SUCC'ESSFUI, Ei TERTAINMENT.
"The Bells,'.';; put on in the town
hall on Thursday • and Friday even-
ings of last week under the au,isicas
of the Clinton IIighlander's Bane,
proved to be a very creditable per
formance and was much enjoyed by
all who sate' it.
The Bells is a heavy piece for am-
ateurs to attempt and 501116 of the
parts are exceedingly (uiIicult. Mr.
Paul Von Rohl, who took the part of
Mathias, the •Ilurgomaster, had a
most difficult loll, which lie sustain-
ed remarkably well, while Miss Se-
well tool: very nicely the part of
Catherine, his wife, Miss Irene Col-
lins was Annette„ daughter 01 Matheas
Lulu and Miss Li L Rowe, Sorel, a maid-
servant.
Others taking part were Mr. Fred
Girlies, as Christian, the lover of An-
nette • Mr. Gco Weber, afarmer
John McCaughey, a Poacher Mr. Bert
Kerr as the 1lc, for , Mr. Ray Rum -
ball and Mr. C. Iiodgson each took
two parts, and did both well. Mr.
J. W. Moore was president of the
court in the scene which is enacted in
the troubled dream of Mathias. Wel-
lington Cook and Samuel Lowery will
personated o!d characters about the
Inn of Mathias.
The stage setting was exceedingly
goad, the actors were dressed .in the
garb of the early ]8th eenlury and
altogether the performance was well
carried out.
Botha prorducl:ions were very well at-
tended, the citizens thus showing

upon the success of their ulidcrta'.nn5,
The scenery for "The Bells"' was
locally prepare:1, the brush artists be-
ing Messrs. George Cooper and W
Dixon who excelled thenihelves.
,, The stage manager was Mr. T. Mc-
Kenzie, Jr., and that the performan-
ce moved sb smoothly, was in no small
measure - due to his careful oversight.,
Indeed, during the weefra of prepare -
tient and rehearsal he was 5 delatig-
able and great credit is due him.

charming yccutg maiden, a young man
of the George -Worthington I-ciinnot-
tell-a-lie type, and the clever mother
of the',iretty widow became mixed up
in mart, laughing provoking tangles.
Needless to say, the pretty widow

O'Neil represented Jamas p a'rfotd,
the one lone man of 1:123 piece, The
acting was quite clever, the wholeole
thing was lunar and was much en-
joyed by as many, as Mrs, O'Neil's
doable drawing -room would aceolnr
mod'ate. There was a short musical
program consistiria of solos by Mrs.
G. M, Elliott and Mika Ilattie Ci -rug,

Tim Hydro equipment` consists or
two high tension three phase 13,000
volt circuits which are connected with
the line from Stratford. They ate
fed in by choke coils tl'rougii a 45,-
000- volt automatic oil switch, the,
function of which is to protect' the
station from short circuits, On the
13,000 volt line there are also light-
ning arresters of 201,000 volt capa-
city which protect the station from
lightning discharge front the main
volt line,
From tit: automatic volt switch
11:,t line goes through three 150 Ic.v.a,
transformers+ which reduce the volt-
age from 13,000 to 2300 volts on the
switch board from which power, in-
candescent anal street lighting, is
taken.
The switch board, is fitted up with
an automatic oil switch to Protect
the equipment in case of short, cir-
cuits on local lines.. Also with re-
cording instruments which reeolrh the
total number or watts used in the
snation and it is from this record that
the cost of the power is esttin,afed.
The power meter indicates the Row-
er fac,tor.on the line. There are
also attached six ammeters to indi-
cate the load on the three different
local circuits.
Thee it will be seen, that the
station is practically auto natio in
operation and needs very little at-
tantlon.-
An automatic regulator is installed
for regulating the street lighting sys-
tem,
Almost tit; entire equipment has
been supplied by the Canadian Gen-
eral
enernl Metric, Co„ Toronto, wile had
nearly' all the hydro work in this
district.
IsIr C. A. Comp, a construction en-
gineer from, Montreal, has had charge
of the work for the C'anaillan Genet.

Three motors are installed, two of
ten h.p., each run the deep w=ells, and
one of 35 11.11l. to rust the fire pmnps,
with a 50 h.p.:gasoline engine as am
auxiliary, thus giving the town in ad-
dition to the stand pipe pressure ilie
best possible fire protection.
The street system is now being run
all night and 60 watt Tungsten lamps
have repinrecl the 40 watt formerly
used.
The 125 cycle meters have all been
changed for 25 cycle and the tou'iisy-
stem considerably, extended.
Tho contract calls for 300 h.p. hut
that quantity is not Yct needed. The
News -Record was the first local plant
to use hydro. The' Solo Player Pi-
ano Company carie next. The Doh-
erty
oh-
ety Piarlo Company have a partial
service, and it in expected the Knit-
