ETERS T0 TE EDO | i I -------- The Club Not Responsible. Ki , May 23. 'o the Edi- tor): The impression has been given out that the Kingston Gentlemen's Driving and Matinee Club was instru- mental in having the much discussed circus contract for the use of the fair grounds cancelled. This is not the case, sud in fairness to bur mem- bers 1 you to eontradict this impression. While our club has spent considerable money on the fair grounds, stables and track, we be- Heve the city y committee ap- preciates ve done in this way, and on our part we feel thal | we should support the action of the property commities in doing its best to protect the expenditure of some $6,000 by the city, the fair associa~ tion, and pur owa ¢lub, in demand- ing that: the circus company should deliver to the city a Lond protecting its property against possible damage when rented to them. As for our having any voice in: the making or breaking of the eircus contract, how- ever, it is not our business to say te whom the grounds should or should not be rented. We had nothing 10 gay and we tuank you for putting us right with the public. --W. H, EVES, President, K.G.D. and M.C. Mr. Howe's Final Contribution. Kingston, May 28. (To the Edi- tor): In asking your further indul- gence, 1 offer my final contribution to this controversy in reply to Ald. Corbeit's' letter in yesterday's issue, together with my thanks for your courtesy in this matter. } feared that my indictment of the majority of 'the city couneil would pass unchallenged; as a mat- ter of dact, so far, resentment at my allusions to his own 'gallery play" and personally - announced philan- thropy--no effort is made to justify the council's attitude towards 7'she returned citizen. 1 agree with Ald. Corbett that one looks for the qualities of chivalry and muignanimity in the soldier, -- and, 'it may be added admirable vir. tues on Monday night, May 12th, when, in council and without, justifi- cation, he indulged in a lengthy ver- bal castigation of the returned citi- zens.--through the G.W.V.A.-- ac cusing them of sunflairness,'" "down- right threats," "taking the council by the throat," and 'taking away the rights of the citizens,' and because of which he cast his vote against them. v % His actions and wonds, for which he has neither apology nor regret, were governed by his conscience. 1 wonder, Mr. Editor, whether that was his "political" conscience, However, wiren disagreeing with the actions and utterances of Mr. Corbett, 1 venture to take up the cudgels on behalf of my comrades and retaliate in the public press, my" "modest" op- ponent forgets his unkind criticism of the returned citizens. and laments the consequences of his opposition to their @nterests, under the lash of a 1 virtuperative and ungenerols pen.' In turning his ewn argument against himself, IT would remind Ald, Corbett that the villification of the citizen to the detriment of, 'who his taxes direct or indirect, into: yo on treasury, instead) of that of Germany, solely by vir- tue of the fact that the returned citi- gens, whom 'hie publicly scored, plac- 'ed. their bodies between himself and Jeomimon enemy, i 1 think sufficient ed With the opposition of Ald, Cor- ibett and those who vote with him, Yours truly, WCIDENTS OF [HE DAY ' LOCAL XOTEs AND ITEMS OF GENERAL INTEREST. ---------- i "i Happenings in the City and Vicinity ~What the Merchants Offer to the Readers of the Whig.
