to Make their ciniiiions known. By eV-
'errone doing this, and giving
epeakera or performers that measure
of attention which they therrieelyea
:would wish, the C. Cat L. S. efaiilel
be a great success:
The purchasieg of., a piano and .. a
. school paper were left to the eXeetite,
lye committee. •Mr. McLean said that
the board had been intervicWed and
had promised to contribute a good
suni every year and as ' this could 'be,
supplemented by 'a fund 'from the soc-
iety he, considered that the -piano'
which had had ',just been put: in by.Mr.
Hoare c'ould be purchased and paid
for. .12.egardieg. the paper, he said it
had been discussed in the committee,
bat no definiteaction had :been taken,
atict that with e 'few otherthings were
left over. for ' further consideration..
The president askedthe • opinion of the
students in. regard •to the proposed.
Paper whenit was moved. by Aiken -
head, . seconded -by Manning, .that we
have • a, school %paper. Mr. •Ifoustoti
thought if a paper was C'onducted

but it might. degenerate. He hadno
objection to witand humor. Contri-

ing. Mr, McLean coincided with Mr,
Howson:, The paper needed careful at -
Million on the pert of the editor..
The pribeipal fault of papers ofthis
kind was the appearance of persoinit
articles and nothing of that nature
.should be allowed. The paperas
general rule is under the _care of one
.or two persons. He wished it to be
•elevated in its tone and every article
to be a benefit to the students. On a
vote taketi it was decided•to•have the
paper printed. left': Stoddart . was
appointed critic. The entertainment
was continued by •a, solo from Miss
Helen Doherty acebtnpanied. by Miss
Hoover, Miss H. Arinsteong uot be-
ing present her part was taken ' by
Miss M. IffeRwen who gave an excell-
ent paper on. Wordsworth. Miss X.
Jackson was next :called on for a solo
with Miss , Hoover as accompaiiist.
The debate was -the next item. The
subject was "The' Coal Strike, that
we should support the urine owners."
Affirmative—E. Jenkins, T. Mustard
and Miss Coats ; Negative—E. How -
eon, W. Stewart and Miss Iliggart.
'the deeisioti was giveit in favor of the
affirmative, After 'a piano solo by
Miss It. Parke Mr, Stoddart was call-
ed oir to give itis criticism. He con-
gratulated the society cm the admir-
able order. Ile liked the arratigetneet

looked like a trial for breach of

-CLINTON WINS ',111.hi. HOUGH CUP,
On Saturday Jeat the Clintoo Col-
legiate football •teain, :Bacon:mauled by
-.large contingent of sielrow .etudente
of both sexes, drove to Seaforth ' to
.try, mice Mora to win the Coveted
trophy known as the Hough Cup. The
day was all that could be desired both
for driving and for play. At aols
P-
itt. the Collegiate teamstook their, al -
_lotted positions S.nd* g.cferee 13i:own
Jaceson blew the whistle for action.
Seaforth had the kick ofT, but Clinton
was •soon itt possession of the ball and
Ninthit In the euemy's territory. Af-
ter a few well directed .passes along
the forward lite • Todd of the right
wing made a neat- drop over the goal
keeper's head .a,nd scored. The elle-
tou section of the grand Amid, were
•now jubilant and the clefenders4of the
cup desperate. Play became feat and
furious and the result was a dielocate
• ed arm at tha elbow. lea 1-104gi.tio, a
'elever -left wing. player. After consid-
erable delay decision was given ' by
the otherwise' impartial- referee • which
caused some surprise at lea.et to Clin-
ton sepporte-rs. No substitute could
be found • 'for the injured student,
*nigh oa their own grounds and in
.consequence one of the Clinton team
was • retired and the gams. finished
with a man short on both sides. At
the end of half time the score Mood
to o in favor of Clinton. After a
short breathing. space Play was re-
sumed and very soon the score was
eveued by a well timed rush Of the
Seaforth right. • For a ehne it appear-
ed as though the defence of the trophy
would be successful mail the Clinton
left aWolte to a sense ol dostine duty
And mite more our boys were in the
aggressive. A foul was allowed. near
the Seaford' goal and Eitg, the cen-
tre half back, tnanipulated it suecess-
fully, kicking it Iiigh so as to 'strike
player mot glance through the inside
of the goal post near the top. Reali- •
zing now that the cup was ,theirs the
defence would allow, nothing tb ap-
proach their territory and at the end
of a determined struggle for an hour
and e half held the ttophy, tlie score
being 2 to x in favor of Clinton.
Much of the credit of this wells
narked victory is due to the efforts of
the captain of the club, leut of course
ilia fellow students , whether members
of the team or not rendered hisn will -
leg assistance, On the field it is
bit -
possible to gingle out any oise player
as sepetior to the others except, per.
haps Baird Whose play throughout
was strong, accurate atid aggressive.
The valise of the trophy May be
judged front the' fact that security to
the amount of one hundred and fifty
dollars must be given for its safe
keeping before it comes into the
heeds of the holders.
The Clititon players were :

The animal thank-offering'reeeteng 9f
the:1,11.1ns church Auxiliary of the Wo-
men's Foreign Missionary Sotiety was
held on :Thursday evening last and
largely attended, but particularly by
the ladies as there were (slily about
twenty of the male sex present.
The thief feature of the eveaing was
an interestingpractical adeiregs by
Mts. 'Watt of Guelph, who is a very
able speaker. Her address , was on
missions and descriptive of the Ecum-
enical Conference held in New York :
some time ago. Aire. Watt was list-
ened to with rapt attention, Her
heart is in sympathy with missionar-
ies and their work. After hearing the
treasurer's report she congratulated
the Society on the work being done her,
them and urie.ii more to become mem-
hers Of the Aiisciliary and help •ou
with the work. At the annual meet-
\
i g. held, ill London last May there
w *e soci delegates, but when we think
of the liamber. of auxiliaries this is a
cos paratively knell number,
- Mrs. Watt also gave a very hill des-
cription of the Ecumenical Coeference.
This Conference had its origin in the
Modern missionary movement.
There had been a growing fee/ing on
the part of missionary workers the
world over that such a meeting was.
needed to gather up the results of
their common experience and lead to
it better distribution of the forces in
the field. The conference was held in
New York and continued for ten days,
duriag which time there were forty
meetings. The coming together for
first time of over 3,000 Able; intellig-
ent and devoted trien and women, all
deeply interested in the evangaizatiori
of the heathen world, was in itself an
event of great moment. A most iii -
spiting feature was the welcome of the
480 Women missionaries who were
introdueed by Mrs. 3, G. Cordon of
Boston. Touching and heroic tales
were told of their personal sacrifice
and the success vehicle erowned their
years of toil and teaching among
thousands of people from every coun-
try under the sun, There Were 99
