Donnelly for the best essay by any member on 'Sales. maoship and Benefits of Insur- ance." The talk by Mr. Allison was largely technical, dealing with fig- ures. At the close of the address he was plied with questions by the insurance men. The committee of arrangements for the dinner was made up of M. H. Stearns, George H. Collett and John Marshall.

The young man in question first saw the light of day in Port Perry, and was while quite young noted for his bright intellectual qualities and success as a pupil of our excep- tionally splendid high school where he graduated; with™ flying colors; afterwards taking courses in higher seats of learning in.Canada, where he also distinguished himself for his wonderlul proficieney and acquired intricate knowledge that fitted him for his selected calling. Port Perry, in fact Canada, has every reason to be proud at producing such a bril- liant and talented young man Who in the land of the star-spangled- banner that contains over a hundred million population, and one who commands a very highly lucrative recompense for his services which are of so much importance to the insurance 'institutions "with 'which he stands identified and to which he does so much honor, besides b:ing a bright particular star in all ha goes to make perfection. Mr. Al lison's wonderlul attainments should, and doubtless will, encourage young men, pupils of our "high school, - to endeavor to "emulate his 'courage, perseverance' and" determioaticn, and finally to reach equally .im- portant positions in life.] --Ep.
