FIRE. IN POSTOFFICE.
Fire broke out in the• postoffice a
little before ten o'clock on Tuesday
evening,• just under the sorting table,
which was piled with letters, etc.,
ready for mailing' in the early incom-
ing.
orn
in . Analarmwas r inbut e
n un the
�g
fire was o under, control
get by Care-
taker Walton, with the aid of a chem-
ical extinguisher and withoutthe aid
of water, "except some carried in in
buckets. Miss Mahaffy arrived to at-
tend to the late mail just asthe alarm
was rung and Postmster Scott, who
had been out of town, came in on the
train and. came right up. Although
the fire was blazing up around the
the fire was blzing up around the
table'sufYicieii'tly to blister the varn-
ished ceiling, it is said that not let-
ter was damaged.
A nunl'her of Gevernasent forms,
etc.„.on the, lower shelf of.the table
were destroyed. Nud the fire oc-
curred an hour later; much mail woulii
no doubt have been destroyed. The
mail for the west had just been de-
spatched a shoat time before. It is
supposed that the origin was in de-
fective wiring.
THE '0. I. COMMENCEMENT ,
The .Collegiate.Institute cbmmonce-
meat was held on Thursday and Fri-
day evenings last in the town hail,the
hall being crowded on, each occasion.
The entertainment this year took
tine form of a urusical comedy,"Bim
hp," which was rehearsed and staged
by Miss ICathr'yn Larkin, those taking
part being the school 'students.
The whole thing was ,gotten up
within a fortnight and the performers
certainly•did their . parts remarkably
well, with such short 'training.
The play: hinges ori the perfor_
mance of a young American moving
picture man, who went to Bimbo Is-
land to take some picturesand who
was mistaken for the new governor,
who was expected; and conveyed to
the state residence and given all hon-
or. ' Ile
on-or.''Ile seemed t0 be getting along all
right until a native princess fell deep-
ly in love with him and two other
young ladies arrived, each of. whom
claimed to ibis engaged to him. He
was much too busy to think of nmr-
riage and found great difficulty in
keeping all the ladies in good humour.
He was 'much troubled, too; 'about a
revolution which was• in progress and•
which his chief of staff wished hint to
go but and°quell, He was much: more
interested in moving pictures, how-
ever, end was,'very anxious to show a
picture of the 'battle of Vimy Ridge,
which was "The most natural thing
you ever saw"
Mr; Arthur Lion carried off the role"
of the bogus governor very well; in-
deed, while Mr. James Fraser played
the part of the General, very 'realis-
tically, looking exceedingly fierce in
his military togs and mustache, Miss
Grace Evans took the part of the
Princess .quite channingl.yt,with her
flashing dark eyes, whieln the men
found more deadly than the dagger
she sometimes fl`ouri'shed, Miss
-Florence Rorke and Miss 'Ruth Moore -
house, took the parts of the two rivals.
for the love of the goyernor, and play-
ed them well. Arsother character was
a young English lord, who wee very
fickle in' love and who finally fell for
the charms of the princess. This part
was :well taken- by Mr.' Lorne: Cook.
Mr. Jack Gi'bbings took the part of
a young engineer, • who was in love
with •Silvia, `<,an heiress, (Miss Elva
Cook), who could not harry until her
maiden aunt, Portia, (Miss Laura
Snell), was married. This .seemed a'
and ,bid poser a n3rd fair to wreck the''hap-
piness of tape -young couple but finally
the old General was tricked into
nativemarriage with aunt Portia.
Jack Gibb]ngs : and Miss Cook had u
quite heavy parts andthey also sang, s

HOCKEY NOTES.
On February 28th the Town League
Hoeltey games got away to a good
Mart, Maroons winning the first game
from the Senators by 6 to 3 in a
game that gave supporters of each
teem many opportunities to cheer
their favorites.
I
The second game was a hum-dinger
from start 'to finish between the St.
Pats and'Canadiens, the former team
winning abet the :margin of one' goal in
a 5 to 4 score. This ,game necessitat-
ed:the` various grlayei of both"teams
being on' their toes from bell ;to bell
and, needless to say, the fans were on
their toe's also, There Was a goodly
.number of fans present, who were
well repaid t fori•
d their attendance.
h Mr:
Paterson; our local • Agricultural Re-
presentative, was a'' distinct. surprise,
but after it was whispered round.that
he was one of the shining stars on f
the 0, A. C. team of Guelph when he d
attended that eollege,-it was not hard
to understand where. he. had learned'
his hockey. Brindsy 1NcEwen was 'the
:Teff of the players and is the making
of •a real hockey :player, . buzzing
around here, there and everywhere,,
making his .presence felt by the big-
ger players.; Jack Elliott, who was
the Mutt of the e la e•

of rivalling his brother, Fred, as a
real hockey .player. Pearson in gosl
amade some real saveseand the other
players exhibited •some. fast .skating
and Clever stick handling.
The second League guile turas
played 'February 8i�d, between the
winners of the double header on Fri-
day,
ri- o
day,;'Maroons and Se Pats.
This game has not been surpassed
in many"seasons for• good skating,
stick handling, shooting and goal-
keeping. It' was a bum -clinger from i
start to finish, and was just Oxen- s

With the operation of the new X -Ray
machine tit the local' hospital. Heseid
the council had, .perhaps not unnat
ural'ly, thought the Hospital Board
should have.consulted it before m
stalling the new equipment, entailing
new costs. Dr. Gandier explains
-that when 'the .old hospital was start

. d so ear• ago
years g the council.was
approached
as to h
what •assistanc,.
would be given and the council of
that day agreed to supply power. At
that time there were only the lights
required and - he, D. 'Gandier, had
suggested to them that as time went
on other' equipment would be added
requiring power, It - was understood
that this- would 'be looked after also,
a "Gentlemen's agreement," being
entered into, the Doctor said. Dr.
Gandier called attention' to the great
service the hospital was to the town
and community and hoped the conn-
cit would see its way to taking care
of the cost of power supplied to the
hospital. Re said thea -Ray machine

the cost of maintenance, was high, Al

'that if 'either of th'e two lamps used
were to break, which was very likely
to happen .especially' when the ma-
chine was new, there would be a cost
of $125 to replace' it. He said the
hospital board had been fortunate in
that the :superintendent; Miss Grain-
ger, had undertken to operate the
machine, without increase of satlary,
which. did ,away with the need of q
special operator, but the supplying
of new plates, etc., made it impossible
