Notes of the Evening. A. E. Forbes, the "whirlwind hust- ler" from Seaforth, did splendid work onthe committees. When you want anything well done, just call on Forbes. "Bob" Bailey, former Huron bank- er, was chairman of the dance com- mittee, and did his work well, as he always does. D. D. Wilson, pioneer 'Huron Old Boy, was the hero of the evening. He handed out some plain talk to the Rev. Jas. Wilson, Presbyterian Min- ister, in the question of union, Lack. Kennedy, 'formerly of Clin- ton and Wingham, was amused watching IJob 'Holmes and E. Floody playing the game toghether. "It looks like a union of 'the Old Par- ties," he remarked. J. A. McLaren, Honorary Presi- dent, donated a pair of ladies' shoes, value $10.00, as a first prize for euchre, and ten pounds coffee for the refreshments. "Bert" McCrcath, as chairman of the hospital fund committee, is put- ting up a whirlwind campaign, and made his' wordc tell during the even- ing. Mrs. Harry Martin was at the head of the refreshment committee, and judging by the crov'd, had the big- gest contract of the evening. If Coles or anybody else can beat Mrs. Martin's committee at the refresh- ment game, we would like to see them do it. Everything was served up to the King's taste. Mr. A. C. MacVicar, •Goderich Old Boy, donated a very large cooked ham, beautifully sliced, towards the ,refreshments. Many thanks, Aleck, Mrs. H. B. Stowe, formerly of Goderich, had charge of the card committee. and 'it goes without say- ing, that the arrangements were com- plete. With fifty or sixty tables of euchre and bridge, and not a hitch, Mrs. Stowe deserves a medal and a good' one. Tres curer John Robertson sold over 100 tickets at the door, although the ommittee were busy at it for two weeks. Mrs. E. Flood', can claim the sen- oirity amonrrst the Old Girls, she having attended twenty-five annual functions out of twenty-six. Financial secretary, T. A. Cameron, Assistant Prioeinal of King Edward School, and formerly of Bayfield. Revs he never cellerl'ed so many tickets before in his life. W. F, Cantelon, druggist, formerly of Clinton,' told of the clays when Messrs. Malloch and ;Turnbull were wielding the rods at the public and high schools respectively. An educa- tional retrospect, as it were. "Breathes there a man with soul dead, Who never to himself hath said, This is my own, my native land," Yes, and some of them are still breathing.
