In the evening his emarks were pertioularly interesting to the young people. This, be said, was essentially' "The young man's age." It was their mucous which seemed to command and which demanded the greatest attention. The two requieites to awnless, in so far as we viewed, it from a worldly or material point of view, were: let, ," Hard work," 2nd, "A, desire for self itnprove- ment." Too many of our young menseemed to be afraid that the) would earn mere than they were paid for; bee he wished to im- press the foot that, in this world • Man had to earn a great cleat more than he wig paid before his abilities and his trne worth were really recognized, although we find many men, who are afraid of doing too main andi as a consequence, fail to perform their duey;' yet there ere thonsande of employees look- ing for men who re worthy, and who are willing to pay him for that worth, The best men to be found iire those who both know and oan do; men, who can work with both head and bandit.

He did not wish to convey the idea that, man bad to have a college education, in order to become intelli- gent, educated and successful' men. Fr from it ; there were many men in the world who had attained success and even distine- tion in litereture who had never hod the privilege of shame as etudents within the four walls of any ,seminary of learning ; but he did wish to say that with all the avenues of knowledge sonlvidely open, there was now no excuse for a an to neglecb his mental improvement. Every man ought to respect his ohoaen calliug. In this- -world men's callings have male greater reason to be ashamed of them than they to be ashamed of their callings. , Our chosen callings are jute what we make them ; if we respect them, if we perform our work in a compet- ant, business -like manner, both we and our calling -will compel respect; on the other hand, if we are Andolene and slovenly, and look disdainfully upon ourselves and our oo. oupstion, how oan we expeot others to jtidge us otherwise than ,we judge o Delves ? Never look down upon our 000upation on amount of the manual labor in onneotfon with it, but rather seek te elevate' tt by the' honesty And excellence of our work.

Three hundred Canadians arrived in one train froai the vicinity. of Guelph, nnd they formed an enthusiastic, party. iThe big judging stand of the pavilion wasonly /dec- orated for the °amnion. Signifioa ' t) of the warm feeling among eh° stockmen for Can- adians, the biggest flag in sight in the centre was the very handsome silk standard of the United Kingdom. This was contributed by the ex.Canadians on the Stock arehange. To each side was' hung an immense Canadian flag and the Stars and Stripe.. All the Canadians were decorated with Maple Leaf buttons, and every time the coolers of their country would ehow on a new prize winner they would yell in unieon. The guying was good nstured. ' One Westerner shouted across- the hall : "Say, you Canuelis, you have .got every. thing worth having from the prize list, you might as well teke the pavilion. ; Lot the tail go with the hide." ARGUMENTS FOR FAIR PLA!, : All the local papers devoted much apace to Canadian exhibits and Canadian affairs, and the Saddle and Sirloin Club sent an open invitatioe to every Canadian visitor to golaround to -the headquarters and become an honorary member. The Canadians have shown so much spirit in their infolnal argu- ments for fair play in the matter o cuetome reetrictione that the eentiment is being re- flected in the editorial column of the Chicago papers in favor of a reviaioln.
