Great Epthusidsm Shown At the Young Liberal Smoker Last Evening--Some dresses--A Good Programme Furnished--The Rooms Over- flowed. The atténdance at the voang liber als' smoking coneert, in the reform committee rooms on Princess street, last evening, was remarkable. The the young men are with the Ross government and its Jooal candidate, no one who saw the crowd last might would think of denying. The gov ernment bor simed to build wp On tario, especially New Ontario, so that young Canadians would not any longer have to go into a foreign coun try wo find employment. They ap precipte this, and are in - hearty ac cord with such a patriotic and poo gressive administration. This was convincingly shows last night, when the large rooms would not. begin to hold the large number of young lib erpls who sought admission, They kept, continually coming and going, but all the time an enthusiastic crowd overflowed the hall Alderman J. M. Farrell, president of the young liberal club, jwesided, ana after an overture by Crosby and Thornton's. orchestra, he delivered a stirring addeess. . Such a splendid gathering, he said, showed wnmis tukeably that there was life and en thusiasi in the old liberal party. "It is time for a change," the con: Hervalives: spy. Let us see when it is time for g change. In 1805, when the conservatives were in power. at Ottawn, they were torn and rent asun der. They called each other " & fest of traitors." One leader was knifing another that he might obtain a place of preferment., Surely, then, it was time for a change. Do we find any such condition of things in On tario today? Mr. Farrell asked. No. The government is still vigor ous. Hon. G. W. Ross is developing the resources of New Ontario as only a progressive leader can do. He has a united party behind him, The dis sention is in the opposition ranks. In the closing days of the last session, one of their most prominent leaders, who was once at the head of the pur ty, voted against them. Alderman Farrell closed with a resume of what the government had done for New Ontario, and a call " to support that government and its worthy candidate, Mr. Pense." It was a splendid ad dress, and was received with great applause, J. Graham rondered two solo in good voice, after which R. F. Kl liott wae called upon for an address In responding Mr. Eliott said that thie large gathering, if it counted for anything, counted for victory for Ross and Pens " We are going to win," he declared. * We are going to fight this battle on any issue the opposition desires to fight it on, whether it be on local lines or on larger and broader lines (cheers). The young men of Kingston are going to support Mr. Pense: they are with him (hear, hear)" . After a couple of good sapgs by Edward Summerby, Mr. Pense entered the hall, and was given an enthusias tie reception. Ald. Farrell called for three cheers for the liberal candidate, which were given with great enthusi- asm. Jn addressing the large audi ence be said: "1 thank you for the reception to- night. I am receiving many pledges of support from the electors of Kings ston, and I am certain that victory will be onrs. Those who know any- thing of me, know that I would not go into this canvas if 1 had not re: ceived one of the heartiest and kind: liest of nominations (cheers). I am glad to see my efforts have been so woll endorsed, and I do not fear to proses cute my canvas to the end. My of forts will ever be on behall oF King ston. "J can say on behalf of the Ross government that it is a pride for a young member to cothe back and seek the support of that government. No- thing like a comparison can be insti tuted between the two sides of the house. We have had nothing but cri ticism after eriticism from the opposi tion, "Let our victory be such," continu ed Mr, Pense, 'that it will have a permanent effect, Tike it did in the last election. In endorsing the Ross government--as you will do--vou will endorse a govermment that is going back #0 power (cries of hear, hear). The assurgnoe comes from every mine ister of that government that the li- berals will be triumphantly returned. Kingston, for her own interests, will be in line again, because no govern: ment could have a. greater influence for Food and have been a truer friend to Kingston. Young men, I ask you to support the older heads. We do not start out with banners of 'victory, victory, victory," but we generally have the victory in the end. Your joy on the Mth of May will, 1 trust, be equal to my own." Mr. P warily ense was i applauded when he resumed his seat. John McKelvey, president of the te form association, was the next speak. er. He invited his listeners to com- pare Pe ernment with the opposis thon one over heard of "Rig ow followers trying to get nd of him, as Whitney's followers did of him. This showed that the conserva tives did not think very much of their lender. He. usted that al, he w unceasingly from ay Ith, and Fp did, was not the slightest doubt but that Mr. Pense would be the ness member for Kingston. ¥ "It is remarkable what interest the News has in liberals of Kingston," continued Me. McKelvey. "It is'a lie t state that Mr. Pense has ¥O eraly now until there Spirited Ad- | were. { found ons ' ! encourage pure aml innocent sport in this city. When the city needed an : athlbtic ground, he went to consider | able expense and trouble ta secure it, Land I an glad to see that Queen's college is taking over the grounds, so that they will once again serve as a i place for holding sports, "No mote energetic man have we in | Kingston * than Mr. Pense," declared iMr. McKelvey. "He started at the i bottom as a young man, and to 'day he is proprietor of the best pa | per between Toronto and Montreal That is saying a great deal Surely a men who can con duet his own business so successfully, can be intrusted with our interests in Toronto. We have a first class candi date, and the best government to work for--a government that gives every year $23,000 for the maintain ance of the mining school in King ston. We will get out and work steadi ly for our candidate, and we will elect him (loud cheers)." Interspersed between the speeches were selections from the orchestra and popular songs by Jack Cousins and others. 0. F. Telgmann, contri buted a clever violin solo, and J. Halliday a number of pleasing gramo phone selections. An abundance of pipes, tobacco and union-made cigars were distributed aud every one smoked op to their heart's content. The very enjoyable evening was brought to a close by! hearty cheers for Mr. Pense, Mr. Ross and his majesty king Edward. George Checketts also gave a pleas- ing recitation during the evening. The crowd was so large that an overflow concert had to beg given on the ground floor. This, too, was largely patroniz ed by scores of young men, who were unable to find standing room up stairs. It was the most successful smoking concert ever held in the city. PERSONAL MENTION, energy Zovemments Of The People -- What They Are Saying And Doing. J. C.

The Ottawa Citizen of Tuesday says "At the Russell theatre last evening Miss Kathryn Kidder and company presented "The Country Girl,' This is the English comedy from which Dolly Varden was adapted, and it gave quite as much pleasure, as the very enjoyable musical version would lead thehtre-goers to expect. The story of the comedy, which is an adaptation of David Garrick's, needs no repeating. It is brimful of humor, bright as to dialogue and attractive in its setting. The situations in themselves are pro- vocative of mirth, Peggy's adventures with that hitherto unknown quantity, man, being very laughable. The flavor of past days appeals to the theatre goer surfeited with the stage offerings of the preseng period." § Injured In The Bush.

ROBERT VAIR CAME TO KING- STON IN 1832. 2? Heard the Proclamation Queen Victoria's Accessi Read--Saw Rebels of 1 Hanged--His Remarkable mory. Among the oldest of Kingston's set- tiers, who are now Robert Vair, who resides at 386 Alfred street. A reporter hat a chat with him Mow day afternoon, and learned from him many interesting things about King: ston in the third decade of the past century. Mr. Yair came here from Eariston, Perwickshire, Scotland, in July, 1882 nearly seventy years azo. One of his companions was Edwis Chown, and in the same year the late Capt. ylor also landed in Kingston from England. Mr. Vair has a wonderful memory, and when asked about the extent of the city seventy years ago, be' could give the most minute information, paming a whole line of buildings from one end of the old town to the other Kingston's limits in those early days were from the water's edge to Barrie street northward and to the present site of the city park westwhrd., There were no wharves along the harbor front at that early period. Garvett, the distiller, built the first wharf at the foot of Johnston street, Ives shipyard was at the foot of Ead street. Mr. Vair stated that the To- onto jail, near the Don, was built of stone quarried on the present site of Fisher's brewery, Portsmouth Asked if he remembered anything about the-- proclamation. concerning queen Victoria's accession. Mr. Vait replied that he certainly did. "Why 1 heard the proclamation read," he re marked. "That was in 1538 ° Cel Markland and sheriff Bullock, in a carriage, preceded by a bugler on horseback, drove to the! present corn er of Barrack and Wellington streets, and the sheriff stood up and read the proclamation. Very few people. heard it, but I chanced to be there at the time." Of the incidents of the rebellion of 1837, Mr. Vair has distinct recollee- tion. All the militia from the district were here then, he said, and the town was walled in with double planks. He saw general Von Schultz hanged at Barriefield, and also four rebebs in the old jail on the present customs house site, Het alive, = Hamilton; Guerrero, champion of] Mexico: Cavanagh, Hjertberg, J.
