Lafferty, "A" battery, R.CFA, while 'regretting' his leaving Kingston, rejoice over his good for- tune in securing so desirable a posi- tion as district stafi-adjutant of No. 5 military district, with headquarters at Montreal. Capt. Lafferty first came among Kingstonians as a cadet, of the class of 1896. After graduation he served as a captain in the 14th Regi- ment.

He returned from the "Klondyke in time to accept a commission with the first contingent that Canada sent to South Africa. Subsequently, upon returning tor Canada, he was appointed to the garrison artillery at Quebec, and ab- out one year ago was transferred to the field division at Kingston. He is a thoroughly trained soldier, who has affection for his calling, and is well-qualified to fill the position of importance' to which he has been ap- pointed. Capt. Laflertv is. idolized by the men under his command, who are sorry "to lose so popular and efficient an officer. PRESENTED PINS To Those Interested in The Late 3 Carnival.
