The programme included yacht races, an afternoon "bridge," swimming races, canoe races and a delightful dance in the evening. The music was furnished by an excellent and the Prine® Charlie Chapter of the Imperial Order, Daughters of the Empire served re- freshments to the dancers and canoe- ists on the wharf. No event ,of the year had such a large attendance and the unqualified success was attribu- table to the enthusiasm of the ladies who were so happily chosen to take charge of the dances, the afternoon bridge, refreshments, ete. Mrs. N. C. Polson, jr, was in charge of the | "bridge." In the evening an assembly was held between the dances for the pre- sentation of the prizes. The Commo- dore, L. C. Lockett, made an appro- priate address and Migs. George B. McKay presented the prizes to the winners. The weather was most fay- orable and no untoward incident happened to mar the pleasure of the occasion, except possibly the delay occasioned by the mix-up in the final for the Commodore Cup; but real "sports" look for accidents and re- gard them as being a part of their sport. Needless to say all are true sports at the Yacht Club, The first event was the final yacht face for the Commodore Cup at 3.- 30 p.m. The course was twice around the Pen Buoy and Myles Shoal, known as the "small course." The Kathleen sailed by Mr. Richardson, the Heather sailed by K. Taylor and the Thistle by H. Hill were the only entries. They made a good start and rounded the course, but near the fin- ish a mix-up between the Thistle and the Heather took place and the judge was unable to make an award, At the "Bridge" under the direc- tion of Mrs. N. C. Polson, Mrs. G. F. Emery won the first prize and Miss Bessie Smythe the second, Ladies' swimming race--1st prize, Miss Taylor; 2nd, Miss Berming- ham, Gents' swimming race--1st prize, C. J.

CONSCRIPT ALIEN LABOR orchestra That Is Whit Principal Bruce Taylor Would Do. Toronto News. Among the distinguished Cana- dians who are here for the conven- tion of the G.W.V.A. is Principal Dr. Bruce Taylor, of Queen's University, Kingston, whose home for the time- being is the Carls-Rite. Queen's has played and is playfng a conspicuous and glorious part iy the work of war, the complete faculty of applied science having been handed over a connection therewith and the entire premises of the new Arts Building and Graat Hall being at present de- voted to hospital purposes. Dr, Tay- lor's personal services rendered at the front are of record; he yow is de- voting his time and talents to other phases of the great problem, among which the question of the alien in the labor economics of Canada Is one. "I think alien labor ghould be oo scripted," says Principal Taylor. "1 don't see why the alien workers should wax fat, while the rest of the world is growing thin. 1 think it an absurd thing that these people should be able to hold up industries in this country and I think the Government must soofi be forced to action in this connection. My general point is that alien labor should not be able to col- lar the big wage while our men of British birth who are making that wage possible are fighting over there for us and for these aliens at $1.10 a day IN MARINE CIRCLES.
