Refreshment booths | had been set up in the &roves and no trouble was spared: for/the com- fort and pleasure of the visitors. At b p.m. a supper was served by {ihe ladles on long tables. After the jsupper, Rev, Dr. R. J. Wilson of Chalmers' "Church, Kingston, mount- | ed the platform and acted as chairs man duripg the speeches: In this capacity he surpassed any previous effort. He thanked the young ladies of St. Andrew's church fof the invi- tation to be.present and expressed the hope that when _he could choose a place to live iniit might be among the people of Wolfe Island. Dr, "W. Edwards, M.P., was the! first speaker and gave an interest. ing acoount of Britain's work in the great war, by quoting the revised figures of the British War Office. The total number, of troops provided by the Empire was 8,654,467. Of this number England contributed 4 f00,- 158, Seotland 37,618, Wales, 272, 1294, Ireland 2; The percent- age of sérvice troops to white male pepulation was as follows: England 124.02, Scotland 23.71, Wales 2 Ireland 6.14, Canada 13.48, fa 13.43, New Zealand 19.35. South Africa 11.12 The per itage in casualties was: United Kingdom 43 Canada, 33.05: total for the British Empire 3,073,664 or 4.51 of « the { white male population; France 2,138,119 or 4.32 of. her white male population; Italy 1,937,000; United States 264,998 or .32 of its white male population. Britain's naval ef- fort is not included in the above fig- ures, nor are her casualties on the sea. Dr. Edwards paid a warm tii- bute to the noble work of the Canad- {ian troops, their heroism and sacri | fices. | Anthony Rankin M P.P.,, was the {next speaker. He said he was proud to be the representative of Fronten-! {ac county in-the legislature and told {df the efforts of the provincial gov- ernment on behalf of the rural citi- jens. He hoped to see many things done to make life in' the country | more' enjoyable, He announced that {the prolibition referendum would rhe placed. hafore the pesple- he explained the ballot that {would be used. He did not think the i people would vote to reject the On- jtario Temperance Act. The date for {the general election had not yet been | decided and he did not feel that the inresent was a proper occasion upon { Which to refer to political issues, but | {he would be again p candidate. } Dr. Spankie was next called upon {and he received an ovation as he took {his place on the platform. HB gave! {a brilliant address-and showed him- | | self an expert at good humored ban. | | tering .and provoked much applause. | He was proud 'of the decent of the Wolfe Islanders from the United Em- Loyalists. "Why," said he, o8- chilly |eral Wolfe On thé west we have Simcoe and Amherst, on 'the east {Howe, named after Wolfe's lieuten- ant, while in front of us we have the King's town (Kingston), How | could the people of Wolfe Island be! anything else hut loyal," deelared Dr. Spankie. "They prize one title in this day when titles are thought! of little account, and that is the title to U. E. Loyalist decent." _He said! he was delighted over the faet that the 'women now had vetes for they | +| would exercise a very great influence! in the future of the country. | The addresses were necessarily | brief because the visitors . had' 'to .tcateh the ferry and Dr. Wilson, on behalf of all, expressed very great appreciation of the splendid recep- tion given by the goad people of the island. . A baseball match of nine innings was played between the Wolfe Island- ers and the District Depot which was | won by the latter by a score of 15 to! 14. The game was lively throughout and the result was always in doubt. As indicated by the score, the batters had the time of their Mves. with the! ball and the fielders were kept pretty well occupied. The line up was: p: H. Davis, 3b; Conley, ss; Craw-| ford 2b; A. Ryan, p McDermott, rf; ! Kenny, cf; O.
