BANDUE IN, CONGRESS HOTEL LAST EVENING. "he Company Spent a Pleasant Time--The Royal Club Has Done a Great Deal For!Sport in the City. Last evening the members of the ! Royal Club gathered together at the Congress hotel for their annual ban- quet. The Royal hockey team won the Kingston Amateur Hockey champion- ship, and this was a cause for rejoic- ing. About nine o'clock the doors to the dining-room were opened and the thirty guests were seated. The tables were laid in one long line. The room ed with flags, bunting and cut flowers. The Royals' colors were much in evi dence. Mine Host Harris provided an excellent menu, excellently served, and | the boys did full justice to it. After the gathering had satisfied the inner man, the fun of the evening com- menced, At the head of the table sat] (teorge Scott, one of the original sx | members of the Royal Club. . Mr. Scott | acted as toast master. In his open- | ing address he welcomed all present | to the feast, and expressed how grea' was the pleasure of the club in giving the annual banquet. | "The King' was first toasted. 'The first speaker was Frederick Muckler, manager of the Royals. Mr. Muckler | was also a member of the Rovals in their infancy and deserves credit for | the fine standing of the Royal Club at the present day. He spoke of the club since its organization, its objects | and what it had accomplished. Stanley Trotter, manager of the Mic- Macs, was called on next, and made a neat speech , in defence of his am jast year's winners and this year's! vunners-up. He congratulated the Roy- als heartily on their victories during the season, and complimented them on | their sportsmanlike attitude at all times, and under all conditions. Mr. | Trotter also spoke of. the approaching baseball season and of the prospects. He is manager of the senior and jun-| jor Victorias, Kingston's well-known baseball club, and this year the club will be strengthened Royals come in with them. ter gave out this Mr. Trot- information last "Fuddie" Webster, president of) the Kingston .. Amateur Hockey Associa- tion, was there with the goods, and was called on to deliver them. complimented the boys on their win- ningsout and said how much pleasure it gave him to be connected with such a good league, and such good fellows. "The Girls" was proposed by George Scott and responded to by William Kennedy. Mr. Kennedy stated it was his first offence in replying to this toast, but nevertheless the fair sex have a good champion in "Bill." "The Press" was responded to by the repre: sentatives present. W. Hipson, the genial secretary the league, was next called on. He said that the Royals deserved great credit for the work they had done in of key team, in having one of the finest open-air rinks in the city, and giving the city one of the best amateur sport- ing "clubs it has known in years. Between the above speeches, Louis Marchand rendered some_fime piano solos, and also accompanied Edgar Summerby, who sang a few songs. The bunch was always strong on the chorus, and: their voices fairly made the roof shake. The thirty members cresent last evening will always re- member the Royals' banquet of 1909 as making one of the most pleasaht evenings they have ever spent, «and will also always remember the Royal Club as being composed of the kings of good sports. It was the early hour when the guests departed. MARINE INTELLIGENCE. The Coal Boats Are Anxious to Get to Work. The steamer Pierrepont may attempt to break the ice in the harbor, on Sat- urday. The steamer Bickerdike, wintering at Swift's wharf, is being rapidly put into shape for the season. A gang of men are at work painting and over- hauling her. Y Capt. Esford, of the steamer Kings- ton, leit, on Thursday night, for To- ronto The captain will go on to Buffalo for Tuesday, where the case about the collision between the Kings- ton and the little excursion steamer, near Charlotte, N.Y., last August, will be heard. He will pick up numer? ous witnesses in Toronto. Last scason, it was April 7th when the first trip over to Wolfe Island was made by the steamer Pierrepont, and at the present rate it would appear as if the opening of navigation this sea- son will be about the same time. In 1907 the first trip across was some- what earlier, being made on March AMNih. A marine man said, this moraing, that it might be tha middle of April before the harbor was open, unless a good rain and wind came along. At present, he says, the ice gains in -so- lidity more at night than it loses in daytime, and is quite strong yet. A strong wind and rain, however, would, weaken the ice very rapidly. It is proposed in Montreal to cele- brate the hundredth anniversary of the operation of the first steamer on the St. Lawrence river. This was the Ac- commaodlation, put into commission by Hon. John Molson, whose descendants are influential in business and social lifo 'in Montreal yet. This ' steamer mado her first {rip between "Montreal and Quebec on November lst, 1809. Capt.

A year there were 488 prisoners and ninety-three officers, in- cluding the officials. At present there are 583 prisoners and still only ninely- three officers. Tho increase of nearly 100 prisoners makes much extra work for the prison staff, and the guards do not relish additional labors. It is years since the penitentiary risoners. Although there have been a large number' of de- partures from the prison, the influx has been so large that it will not be long before the 600 attendance mark is reached. Western Ontario has econ- tributed an cxeetdingly large number of criminals, and the city of London retains its proud record of sending jroitentiory material than any other place in the province.

It was thought, too, that as the provincial organizer, Mrs. Hyslop, who is a gifted speaker,' is to be in this vicinity about the lst of May, it would not be well to let the opportunity pass hearing her. Arrangements will made accordingly. The union some time ago expressed itself strcu ly in favor of the. oppor tunity of a police matron, strongly endorsed by the city papers.
