IIo for the banquet halls! This
evening the members of the Orange
Sovereign Grand lodge of British
North America will be banquetted
in the palace roller rink by the
Orangemen of the district. As
every conceivable measure for
making the gathering a success has
been adopted, it is probable the
entertainment will be ever memor-
able in the annals of Orangeism.
Those not delegates wiehing to be
present on the occasion should apply
early this morning to the members
of the committee, as there are but
few tickets left for disposal.
We extend to the members of the
Sovereign Grand Lodge and their
many friends a cordial welcome to
our circular town. We hope their
visit may be pleasant 'individually
and advantageous to their society,
and trust that under Divine Provi-
their deliberations may be such as
to engender, if possible, a still
greater love for the motherland,
enrich their noble Order, and
increase the Brotherhood that has
ever loved God and honored our
land's chosen and most gracious
ruler Victoria, Queen of Great
Britain and Empress of India.

ary of the acts and works of eminent
masons, living and dead, and the
records of the past ages of the craft.

tee may not be able to notify %oh

tation to be present. All visiting

There was a gentlemanly essay in
the last issue of the Star in answer
to our notice of the Signal -Star
which as a piece of gross impertin-
ence could only bo equalled by Mr.
Jas. Mitchell who may or may not
have been the writer. It is quite
true that Mr. H. W. Ball is the
Goderich correspondent of THE
NEWS -RECORD, ,but the writer in
the Star did not, and does not now
know who wrote the article com-
plained of, and the mention of Mr.
Ball's name dhows the spitefulness
and choice journalism of the gentle-
manly Star man. The notice that
caused the Star•to shine so brightly
was tho essence of comments mads
by advertisers who paid large sums
to Mr. Jas. Mitchell for notices in
the Signal -Star,• and by numerous
other citizens who thought it unfair
to bo taxed for puffing tho Goderich
Star,'and thou having to pay fifteen
cents for the privilege of reading
the fulsome notice. As to making
enquiries about the absence of cer-
tain buildings, it would have been
the height of impertinence to have
interviewed the owners, and ques-
tioned them, and the planes were
only mentioned because many of
our citizens thought there could not
be a correct illustrated journal of
Goderich without them. Such a
plan of making enquiries may be iu
accordance with the Star man's
ideas of propriety, but we shall not
follow the direction of one who has
the effrontery to send broadcast over
the country the following : " Gode-
rich is proud of the Star." Surely
the proprietor of the paper "that
Goderich is proud of" must know
that it is a standing joke to say
"there is something new in the Star,"
and when the rally draws the quos -
tion " what is it 1" to answer ''a
new patent medicine advertisement."
It was unfortunate that the the Star
had a hand in the new issne for had
the whole work been loft to the
Signal it is more than probable that
the Signal -Star would have been
beyond unfavorable comment.
The 24th could not be called
real Queen's weather. In the early
part of the day it was cold and
cloudy, but as it neared noon old
Sol burst though • the leaden pall
and gave us gonial heat for about
four hours, •then an arctic temper-
ature again besot us. The day was
spent in divers ways, there beiug as
is usual in Goderich, no games or
general celebration. Early in the
day lacrosse teams left for Wingham
and Seaforth, and numbers of our
citizens took the early train for the
east, the majority going either to
Clinton, Wingham or Seaforth.
There wore numerous picnic parties,
Attrills bank and the Bank Park
being the favorite locations. Dur-
ing the afternoon as two young
people were leaving Attrill's to
return to town, the canoe in which
they were seated upset, but as the
water was not over three feet deep
a- good wetting was the only result.
Every horse in town was utilized

the favorite drive seemingly being
round by Benmiller. Before the
dawn of day there were many of
Isaac Watson's disciples on Mait-
land's banks, and along the piers
tempting the finny tribe, and as the
day advanced the wielders of the
rod increased prodigously. The
sport however was not generally
good, Mr. 'MacCormac's 17 fine
pickerel and Mr. O'Dea's five pound
pike being alone worthy of mention.
Boating was as usual a favorite pas-
time as far as the weather permitted.
During the afternoon two young
men when near the Point Farm
attached their boat by a tow lino
to Jas. Wiggins sail boat. Shortly
after the afternoon storm carne on
and broke the line, but so stormy
was the weather that the boat had
to be left to the waves, In town
there was the usual volleys of fire
cracker's,a Queen's birthday amuse-
ment that seems a gaeater favorite
than ever. Mr. Wiggin's sail boat
was seen on the lake the greater part
of the day,the song breeze blowing
making a trip on lake Huron
delightfully pleasant. Though
many of our people went to distant
towns and cities to spend the day,
Goderich was well populated, as
never in our remembrance were
there so many .visitors in fair God-
erich on the Empress Of India's
natal !day as in the year of grace
1880.. The tress in the square and
our numerous streets were a mass
of brilliant greou,tho foliage on their
extended branches affording shelter
to our visitors and all love making
parties.

The laying of the corner atones of
the Methodist church on the Queen's
Birthday brought a large number of
fanners and their families to. town
to witness the imposing ceremony.
At the hour appoiuted a large staff
of ministers were present. Unfor-
tunately the wind was blowing so
strong that the service had to be
shortened. Some little delay was
caused by Mr. Massey, of Toronto,
not arriving as was anticipated. He
arrived, soon after the proceedings
commenced. The coins and papers
having been put in the usual place,
Mr. Massey and Mrs. Anne Coulter
at once well and truly laid the
stones, one on each corner. A col-
lection was then taken up after
which the meeting was brought to a
close. The band then marched off'
to a lively air the crowd following
-thesrr-tn Kelly's brick block where
two long rows of tables were loaded
down with delicious viands of all
kinds and well patronized. In the
evening Industry Hall was crowded
to its utmost capacity to listen to the
large number of speakers that wore
present. Mr. Massey occupied the
chair. Excellent addresses on differ-
ent subjects were given by the
different ministers, and .highly ap-
preciated by the large audience pre-
sent. The excellent choir rendered
some fine anthems from their new
books. The band played a very
nice selection during the evening.
Tho pastor, Rev. Mr. Touge, an-
nounced that the proceeds of the
day amounted in the neighborhood ,
of $250 which was very gratifying.
The meeting was then drawn to a
close, all joining in singing the
Doxology and Rev. H. A. Thomas
pronouncing the Benediction.
On Thursday evening over a
hundred of the members and adher-
ents taking wtth them a plentiful
supply of of good things, assembled
at Trinity church parsonage to bid
farewell to the parson and his lady
who are about to leave here. After
having enjoyed .themselves for a
time in music, singing etc. they
repaired to the spacious dining
room, where the Rev. gentleman
was presented with a beautiful ad-
dress and with a with a well filled
purse. Mr. Thomas made a suitable
reply assuring those present that
it was with the deepest regret he
resigned in consequence of his
failing health. He was happy
indeed to say that both himself and
wife had received nothing but the
greatest of kindness from them
which will not soon be forgotten,
After which, ample justice having
been done to appease the appetite,
the evening's enjoyment was
brought to a close, all joining in
and singing Auld Lang Syne and
the Doxology. This terminated
one of those happy gatherings which,
pastor and people like to 'join in.
The following is the address.
Blyth, May 23th 1889.
To Rev. H, A. Thomas.
REVEREND AND DEAR Sla•—Wo the
members of Trinity Church, Blyth, have
mot here this evening to express our deep
regret at your departure ere long from
our midst. Although you have been but
a comparatively short time ministering to
us yet you have become endowed to all
the members of your congregation, also to
those connected with other churches, and
we sincerely hops that while you pursued
a quiet but consistent course in your in
your endeavor to inculcate the principles
of our beloved church, that manifold
blessings tnay be the result of your"minis-
trations. We deeply regret that the labor
in this part of God's vineyard has been
too much for you physically and that
owing to ill -health you have been forced
to resign, yet with profound devotion wo
offer up our united prayers to God asking
him to cast your lot in a more favorable
place and, if it is his pleasure, give you
hhalth so as to enable you to long ecn-
tinue in the good work to which you have
been called, Therefore as a token of the
highest regard which we entertain towards
you and your most amiable wife we ask
you to occept this address which, though
perishable in itself, contains sentiments
from honest hearts that will never vanish
away.
Signed on behalf of the congregation.

other morning to find a basket with
an apparently live baby comfortably
stowed away in it. She called a
male friend to unravel the mystery
but he would have nothing to do
with it or the basket. The neigh-
bors were called and an inquest so
to speak was held. Tho wraps were
taken off the baby when it was
found to be very good carved wood-

lady whom he supposes to have
played this trick on .ltiw, or know
