THEN ENT ON IN TORONTO. co v z RQ o. Those who attended the Liberal - Conservative convention and banquet in Toronto Isias week report a very enjoyable time. The convention r - per was a most enthusiastic-afair and had a very large percentage of wo- men gthe delegates. among dele ates. At the banquet in. the- evening, which wasartake about p uby eleven hundred people; Premier Fer- guson was given a great rcce d0n , "the most enthusiastic reception I ,> ever sew given apublic 'i an a er sa aman was g , the wily ne delegate described it. At : ,, this�athg rn the Clinton nt- r; lir 6represent- atives occupied one table. and -over- flowed to another. At the .dance af- ter the banquet some Clinton people danced a quadrille, which it was said would easilyhave carried ed 'oflthe prize, had e there been one given. But R , Picton would nqt compete. Those taking part in this quadrille Were: Mr. and Mrs. W. J. Stevenson,' Mr. and Mrs. Fred Cook, Mx. and Mrs. E. W. Morrison and Mr. R. Draper and Miss Helena Middleton. . BETTER FREIGHT SERVICE. � E With a view of trying to get a more prompt delivery of way -freight front Toronto, the Secretary of the Clinton Board of Trade has been in correspondence with the. General Sup- erintendent, Mr. R. H. Fish, of Tor- onto. As a result of the correspondence the merchants on the C. N. R., be- tween Stratford and Godericii, will hate_the advantage of a very prompt service, :peoviding the shippers will co-operate. Everyday, Sunday,the except C. N. It, at their Simcoe Street freight shed, Toronto, will load a special car containing only freight for points on the Stratford to Gederich branch,: this car moves out of Toron- to on train number 519, every night, and it eonneeted to the morning freight out of Stratford, and is not opened until it arrives at Sebring- ville, thus serving each station : along this line. This arrangement gives a nexrday y deliveryservice to all points on this line,:preVided, however, the freight is loaded at the Simeoe street shed be- fore 5:00 pan. To be able to get delivery of freight from Toronto, inside of twen- ty-four hours is certainly worth while' and will' no doubt be greatly apprec- iated. DEATH -'OF MRS. J. H. WISE.

But, after years of talking, wish- ing, and at last acting, the school is an accomplished fact, having been opened for use on Monday, April 25th. At nine o'clock Monday morning members of the ,trustee board, staff and pupils gathered in the large, , beautifully -finished assembly hall fair the opening exercises. In the ab- seice of the chairman of the board, Mr. W. Brydone, who was, owing to illness; unable to be present, Mr. It. E, Manning presided. The Rev. J. T. uu r s g P Hogg read a psalm and offered prayer and Mr. 'Manning read the following address from the chairman, also it statement Concerning the ar- chitecture of the building: "Fellow w Stu tints: I -address you of fellowship because,while in -terms professedly it is the pupils alone ;who are students, and I should like to think that the maxim "once; a student always a student" applied to every pupil of this school, yet if the old Roman proverb is true that "qui closet discit" (he who' teaches also learns) then. year teachers also are students, and as for the Board of Trustees, I can',assure you that during the past year and snore they have studied, hard in, a field of knowledge nearly new to them, to bring about the occasion of this morning's Meeting—to-what pur- pose and with what worth of achieve- ment, you .with others, must be the judges. you look about you at this splendid Assembly gall in this splen- did building, I' am sure you must be imnpressed with gratitude to the Citi 'zeiis of Clinton who have provided you, and others who shall follow you, with these unsurpassed facilities for pursuing your studies, and you must be i n essetl too' with the seriousness gyps s of purpose which gave them the im- pulse to so great en undertaking, and - urged forward its "accomplishment, :not for their own use, but for your benefit and ° your advantage.

The external design of ,the building is ill the Tudor style, that is the style developed in domestic architecture in England and much' employed in manor houses af- ter Henry VIII. had put an end to the Gothic or Pointed style, which had prevailed for 400 years before his time, The outstanding features of the Tudor style as applied here are two in number, the first of.which is 'the two semi -octagonal bays flanking the main doorway and rising from foun- dation to roof—a reminiscent relic of the old Norman Towers by which the Barons guarded the entrances to their castles; the second feature is the large amount of fenestration or win- dow space, which fenders this style so adaptable to school requirenteitts.
