MIGHT? CHANGE NAME
It' has been suggested that names
of public .parks -might be changed, in
this Jubilee year, to "Dominion" or
"Canada," to matic_;•the .event. to the
case of Clinton's public park; which
has no special' name, this' might be•
done without offence to anybody. But
Clinton doesn't seem to•appreciate its
part. It will not be satisfied to have
the weekly baud • concerts
anywhere
but in the middle of the town.

•towa hall, under the.'auspicoe of the
We M. S. of Wesley -Willis church, the

totirs The director was Rev. e . G. Tel-
ford who o also took leading eadin part,
that of T,oseph tn,Egypt. Mrs. Haw-
kins as the wife of Potipinar, and es
an Egyptian princess, sang very
sweetly. Mrs. baser as Zilpah, Miss
Cole as Billah, and Mrs. Kershaw as
Leah, all sang very nicely and Miss

part in a very charming manner. The
chorusesewere also well cutis:
T•hee costumes were all of home

notably those Of Potiphar's wife„that
of Joseph in Egypt, King Pharoah,
and Potiphar, captain of the guard.

P iIZES..FOR SEWING.
On Thursday afternoon last Miss
Graham, of the Collegiate staff, held
an exhibition of sewing done by the
school girls during -the past term, to
view which the .mothers of the girls
and a few friends were invited.
-The exhibit, which was very neatly
Iaid out on the table in the library of
the new school, -was well worth a
leek over. Such a collection of
prettily made garments, • every -stitch
hand -sewn, was enough to discourage
the _grouches who say that all the
needle a girl know anything. about
nowadays is the needle of the giamo=
phone. And it was all the Work o!,
the girls, as Miss' Graham stipulated
that the work must be altogether that
of the pupils.
The judges,'the wives -of the mem-
-hers of the hoard, certainly. had a
Very difficult time deciding who
should receive the prizes, There were
four prizes, the work having beeai.di-
vided' into two, groups, that. of the
senior and - the junior pupils, and a
first and 'second prize given in each.
The first point ebesidered was the
plain sewing, the fineness and even-
ness,of the stitches. 'It was not the
prettiest garment, which 'carried off,
the prize, fancywork- and material
was not taken into account at all, blit
se,; many were .worthy that several
were: given- "bonoura'ble mention."
Miss Graham organized this sew:
