"THE NIGHT I DANCED WITH THE PRINCE" A recent editorial in the Pc- terborough Examiner depiores1 the idea whicb some Cobourg officiais bave expresscd, o! tearing down their bandsome aid Town Hall. The editorial doubts that anytbing rcplacing it would be better, it would cnly be new. We beartiiy agrec. The rooms In the building may neeed cleaning, painting and reiurbisbing, but the build- ing itself is still bandsorne and wili probabiy stand sound and firm for another hundred years. Its construction, of Cleve- land free stone, was begun in 1856 an~d completed in 1860, when on Sept. 7tb it was offi- cially opened by Queen Vic- toria's son, the Prince o! Wales, later Edward VII. It was calied Victoria Hall, and cost about $110,000, a huge sum for the tirnes, but there werc 26 rooms to bouse the county court and offices, as ,veli as a concert hall. The ar- cbitect wvas a Toronto man, Ki- vas Tuliy, who won first prize for bis plans wbicb wcre at first much more modest, but with the completion o! the rail- way to Peterborough, many thougbt Cobourg was dcstincd to hecome a great city and 50 the plans were altered toaa more suitable scale. Sir Allan MacNab off iciated at the laying o! the corner atone. The grand opening must bave heen a night long remembered t y Cobourg citizens. The Prince and his entourage arrived by boat at 9.30 p.m. after being expccted most o! the day. The town, lighted and dccorated, made a fine spectacle. After the speeches on a platformn in front o! the hall, there was a bail in the auditorium wbicb had not yet been furnished with scats, and was resplendent in blue and scarlet draperiesi and flowers. The bail got under way at midnigbt and ended at dawn. Among the 15 ladies who are listed as baving danoed with the Prince is a Mrs. Cubltt o! Bowmariville. On investigation, we !ind that Frederick Cubitt was mayor of Bowmnanviiie in 1860, so it Is aitogether likeiy this would be the mayor's wife. He was a Lieutenant Colonel in the army and a prorninent man in civic affaira. He married in Engiand in the 1850's, according to J. B. Fairbairn. Wbat Mrs. Cubitt's malden narne was, wc arc not told. One can imagine bow these 15 lucky ladies told the taie ta their children and grandchildren of "the night I danced with the Prince o! Wales".1 A building lie Victoria Hall today would cost many times the $110,000. Wby tear down what is solid, good and decora- tive?

"«See Canada First", the speaker said, and told o! the world's smaliest park, Stanley Park, Moncton, N.B., named to honor a policeman who wbiie standing on one spot hciped so many that the ground was, made a park in bis memory. At Moosonnee is the only church with rernovable corks in the floor built 'to drain off spring flood waters.

Toucbing at Itaiy, the speak- er described Venice, Florence, Pisa, Genoa and the Vatican- a city in itself with its own radio station, power plants and police force. A visit to it is in- complete witbout an audien'ýe and the Pope's blessing. Miss Wallace knew ail the answeis including the telephone num- ber o! how to bc biersed by the Pope whom she greatiy admires. As the speaker receiyed His Excellency's blessing she thougbt she saw a gleam in bis eyc which seemed to say, "You look like a Protestant ta me but this won't do you any- harm!" The speaker told of the great, interest and benefit given by ber adoption o! three cbildrcn throuch the "Save the Cbiidren Fund>,'a boy in England, anc in Italy and a girl in Greece, and beartily recornmended *it to others. "Turkey 1 just adore. The taxis are divine with lovcly rugs on their floors; the people are friendly and anc custom of throwing a bucket o! water after you to ensure safe conduct and return to a fricnd's home is a littie startling at f irst." Every farmer keeps goats in Turkey, the nanny goats wear brassieres made o! coarse cot- ton-not for a girlish figure- but to prevent the littie goats from taking snacks and reduc- ing miik production.

L. Linden. Miss Aleen Aked read cx- tracts from old minutes of num- erous travel trips taken by members of the Durham -Club during the first 30 years, 1898- 1928. These minutes appear elsewherc in this issue. Dr. Norman Found spoke of the new park locatcd partly in Durham County along Highway 401, mostly for the use of Osh- awa people and motorists, in the district which, after Port Hope, was the eariiest settled area. The social hour was arrang- cd by Mr&. W. T. Willard as- sisted by Group 3 and conclud- cd with "Auld Lang Syne."
