Exercises
The fifth annual Commencement
exercises, held last Friday, were the
most successful in the history of the
school. The weather was most auspic-
ious, the games well contested, the ev-
ening program of an excellent order,
and the evidence of popular interest
in the physicial and intellectual train-
ing of the pupils highly gratifying to
the managers.
The afternoon program of athletic
Fames was carried out without any
Irksome delays, and the close contest
for the championship, which was un-
decided till the last event, kept the
interest of the spectators engrossed to
the very end. The football match
between Goderich and Clinton Col-
legiate Institutes took the place of the
time-honored contest between pupils
and ex -pupils, and proved a popular
innovation. The game, which was
ably refereed by Mr B. D. Grant, of
Goderich Collegiate staff, was free
from all roughness and unpleasant-
ness, and the teams were so evenly
matched that t
heg aminterest-
ing
was terest-
in and exciting from start to finish.
In the evening a concert was held in
the town hall, which was incapable of
accommodating the large audience
which assembled, attracted equally by
the excellence of the program and the
interest in the presentation of prizes
and certificates. Below we give a list

Kingston Election Petition
Dismissed.
In the election petition entered
against the return of Hon. Mr Harty,
there were some 287 specific charges of
bribery alleged, and one of the charges
was that the Ontario Government had
formed a huge bribery fqnd of some
$10,000. The case came up for trial on
Saturday, and there was so little in it
that the following remark was made by
one of the presiding judges:—
"The fault lies in these 287 particu-
lars," said Chancellor Boyd. "If you
would come down to the particulars on
which there is evidence to offer there
would be less trouble, It is like search-
ing for a needle in a haystack just now.
Now we will eo over the particulars,
one by one,and see what you are going
to do. Take charge No. 1, that a cen-
tral fund was raised in Toronto, for the
purpose of bribing and corrupting the
constituencies, and the electoral dis-
trict of Kingston in particular, by the
Ontario Cabinet."
"We have no evidence to offer," said
Dr. Walkem.
"It should never have been put on re-
cord," said the chancellor. "It is dis-
graceful to do so, if there is nothing to
justify it. The charge is dismissed."
After sitting for two days on the
case, the petitioner abandoned it, and
Mr Harty retains his seat, each party
to pay his own costs.
It has been decided to honor Premier
Hardy with a banquet to be given under
the auspices of the Provincial Reform Ass-
ociation and the Reform Association of
Toronto about the middle of November.
Emerson, the actor, who shot and
killed a man in a London, Ont., thea-
tre, in alleged self-defence, was ac-
quitted by the jury. We believe that
public sentiment will sustain their
action.
A man over in Tacoma wants 615,-
000 damages for riding a goat. Batt;
man thinking of.lhe fun
what is the1 k h
g
there is in riding the ordinary "nan-
ny" should be compensation of itself.
But this was a "lodge -room goat."
A United States commissioner at
the Quebec Conference is authority for
the statement that a reciprocity treaty
is well within sight, and has passed
the trcublous stage. Should the treaty
be ratified It will be of inestimable ben-
efit to the trade of this country, and
will stimulate many branches of trade
to the boom point.

EAST HURON
The official majority in East Huron is
about 1000 but we have not been able to
obtain the detailed figuree, as the Returning
officer has not yet made his official returns.
The Prohibition Vote.
1411 the Provinces except Quebec
favor a Prohibition Law.
The full returns of the vote are even
yet incomplete, so that it is impossible
to give the full vote, but according to
the latest figures the majorities in the
Provinces are as follows
:—
Yes No
17,528
Ontario
Quebec 51,290
Nova Scotia 17,840
New Brunswick 13,715
Prince Edward Isle.. 6,160
Manitoba 5,099
N. W. Territories .... 1,992
British Columbia .... 538
Totals . 62,926 51,290
Total Dominion majority for prohib-
ition, 11,636.
The province of Quebec gives a much
a
larger majority against than was antic-
ipated. It is suggestive that in Nova
Scotia, New Brunswick and Prince Ed-
ward Island, where the Scott Act has
been in continuous operation, they are
so well satisfied with the principle, that
they give substantial majorities in its
favor. Ontario did not do anything
like as well as expected; the constit-
uencies that voted against are: Brock-
ville, East Bruce North Essex, North
Grey, Lincoln, Nlpissing, North Perth,
Prescott, North Renfrew,Eaet Simcoe,
North and South Waterloo and Centre
Wellington. All the cities of Ontario,
except Brantford, voted nay.
