HOCKEY BANQUET Business Association honour Cup Winners. . Yesterday evening a complimentry banquet was tendered by the Busin- essmen's Association to the Clinton Colts, the .hockey team which just missed winning the 0•Ii•A, Intermed- iate "B" championship and had been the winners in the N. W. O. H. A. the past season. The banquet was served by the Women's. Institute, in the basement of the Ontario street church. , The room' was very nicely decorat- ed in the team's colors, blue and wh' rtehe t .tables bourn blue stream. ream- ers to represent crossed hockey sticks the flowers being white lilies, eros - sed sticks were placed in the win- dows indows and across the door, and the pillars were wound with the colors. Places were laid for between one -fifty and two hundred and there were few vacant chairs when all had gathered. At the head table were ,seated tip guests of honor, with their ladies, the toast piaster, Col. Cembe, Dr. Shaw, Mayor. Holmes, President Per- due of the Businessmen's Assn., Mayor Sutherland of Seaforth and Mr. N. W. Trewartha, The supper was all that could be asked for and was nicely (served and at its eonclusion Coh Combe propos-- ed the toast to the King, whieh was responded to by the hearty singing' of the National Anthem. The toast to the tam was proposed by Dr. Shaw, who gave a brief but •conmpre- hensive history of the town, and was responded to by Mayor Holmes. Mr. Trewartha proposed "a toast to the hockey boys, in which he said that the team had this winter given the town a great deal of very fine ad- vertising and the citizens were proud of them. Mr. Carl Draper, the pre- sident of the hockey association, re. sponged. Tie had attended all the games and he and the citizens had reason to be proud of the team. Some of the speakers had mentioned the fact that the boys had behaved so well on all occasions, "They behav- ed well both on and off the ice," .he said. And he took occasion to ex- press the appreciation. of the team of the treatment they had received from the Western League, whose cup they had won. Mr. 2. M. Elliott, manager of the team, also responded, He said it was a pleasure to work with the boys, they were good sports and did their very best on all occas- ions.' He called attention to the fact that for the last five games they had travelled nine hundred :miles, not having a single practise between games and he also called to mind that. in the "W' series forty teams were entered, so that their achievement was no small one in winning to the top against such odds. Mayor Sutherland of Seaforth Vice President of ''he N. W. Hockey Leag- ue, was present and he it waewho presented the cup to the team, Capt. George Mott accepting it for the team. Mn . Sutherland in a witty speech 1 congratulated the team and said he had attended a number of the games in which they played, going to Osh- awa with them. He thought they were unfairly treated in these final games as Whitby had played, and were allowed by the O.1T.A, to play, men who did not belong to the town represented. But he said they would got the Western League well organ- ized and would; conduct it on different lines, Mayor Holmes explained that the presents which the Association were giving the ° hockey bisys heed not ar- rived but would be presented later. It was hoped that they would be ready for this evening, but they were die- appointed. .IYlr. Draper moved a vote of thanks to the B.usiness,nen's Association for the honer done them, to the lomen'•s Institute for providing the excellent supper and to the church officials for the use of the church lecture room for the occasion, to whieh Mrs. Mc- Kinley, president ef the Institute and Rev. P. G. Farnil1 replied briefly.

The church audi- torivaudi- toriumwas filled. • The opening chorus was a triumph of bold and brilliant melody, and, as the last days of Christ were pictured in the appealing strains of choruses, solos and quartettes, the audience was thrilled by the beauty of the mu- sic and the spirit of the production. One of the outstanding effects on the listeners was that Christ's pas- sion was so vividly portrayed that ey traveled by His side, caught a iimpse of His deep love, saw His minty as He' washed the desciples' t, felt for Hint as He was despised d rejeeted, wept at His utter lone- ess—it being brought home so uchingly that it was all for us— edvwith Him as the rabble shout - `Crucify Him,' walked with Him Iio carried the Cross, suffered th Turn as the slcene at the cross s sung:(all- the lights of the urch being' turned off and the oro lighted.)

JOSEPH'S SOCIAL An after -Easter social was held in: St. Joseph's Hall on Monday evening - last, a large number being present to enjoy the gathering. Euchre was played the first part of the evening„ followed by dancing. Prizes for euchre were awarded to Mrs. Le- Beau for the ladies, and Mr. Win.. Garron for the gentlemen. Mr, W. M. Kelly won the door prize The prizes were something unique, being Easter chicks, which were don- ated by the Neuhausers Hatcheries,, of Chatham.' Of course there is noth- ing very strange about two or three' dozen chicks, but these, instead of being fluffy white or grey 'balls of down, as chicks usually are, were all: colors of the rainbow, pink and pur- ple, green, (blue and red. They were on exhibition in Mr. Charlesworth'a window for 'some days and cause$ much interest. Wle asked Father Sullivan what sort of eggs .these chicks would lay when grown. "Ob,, Raster eggs, of course," was the ready answer. These chicks do not come front the shell in colors, they are, dipped into a dye solution shortly after be- ing hatched, sometimes given an en- tire immersion, sometimes being dip- ped up to the head then the head be- ing brushed with dye. They theta have to be put 'back into the incu- bator until they are thoroughly dried: and warm and lively again; The dye stays on until the chicks grew feath- ers. They Iook interesting, but we believe we prefer them in the natural shades: SUMMERHILL Mists Marion Mason of Essex is: spending the Easter vacation at her' home ` here. ,Miss Dorothy Wilson, teacher, is spending the vacation at her home near Brucefield.
