And his humorous "hits" were greatly appreciated. He was not a native of the city, he said, and did not know why he should dare to propose such a toast. A friend suggested that he was asked because if a Kingstonian was called upon he would talk too long. He referred to many of the tra- ditions of Kingston. It was once the capital of Canada, and the present capital was only a compromise, All We need here is a harbor because of our great transportation possibilities and out of that $396,000,000 spoken of UY Sir Henry Drayton we would be glad to have $10,000,000 slipped in our direction. If we can get a har- bor, Mayor Nickle might get an iiotel, and then with a harbor and a hotel we would be all right. But at- ter transportation comes education, |and the Royal Military Coliege and Queen's University are great in the rast, great in the present and great in the future. It was somethiry to be a great seat of learning for it was a fact that out of the homes of King- ston there were more students at- tending Queen's than out of the whole city of Hamilton, There: is also evangelization and here we .can always express our Ropes. With all these things why is it part that has grown is t is not the fault of the mayor, the council or of J. M. Camp- bell, president of the Board of Teade, and it is not the fault of the govern- ment or of the press. Dr. Wilson told Y a4 man writing s Is Good" where everybody could see ijt. That sign saved many a town and ft will save this country. For what have we real- ly got to grumble about? Our hats are in the air. We can therefore drink the toast to the Kingston of the past. present and future, a bigger King- ston, a Kingston with a harbor and a hotel." Hearty applause followed Dr. Wilson's address, Mayor Nickle Replies. Mayor Nickle responded, and he ~-EAve a most interesting sketch of Kingston, going back 248 ears, to the time that Count Pronfenac de- clared that Kingston possessed a na- tural harbor. "I hope," said the mayor, "that Sir Henry Drayton may see fit to put into the budget an ap- propriation for our harbor." Referring to the work of men id- entified with Kingston's history, he pointed to the late Sir John A. Mac- donald and Sir Oliver Mowat. The first .had a great vision and he link- od the Pacific and the Atlantic. 120 years ago we had our first school conducted by R. Strahan. there were ten pupils, seven of whom rose to distinction. Kingston was in fact the first capital of Upper and Lower Can- ada and the government met at 133 Queen street. At a later date a part of the General Hospital was the gov- ernment seat. The first paper, The Gasette, appeared in- 1818, the Whig in 1834, and in 1838 Kingston was a town. In 1842 Queen's was inecorpor- ated. Kingston was named King's town by the United Empire Loyalists, and its record since then has shown that it is a loyal city. During the war more citizens enlisted than from any other city and she stood second 'in per capita, contributions during the war. Queen's sent 1,502 of her men of whom 163 were killed, R. M. C. $14, of whom 141 were killed. A. Shaw proposed the toast to the New masters of the two lodges ang Geo. Vanhorne, master of Minden lodge, and F. J.

FRNNRANNUNEWERYED A tt At Al gat LETTER 10 [HE EDITOR An Explanation to the Electors. Kingston, Dec. 27.--(To the Edi- for) Upon the solicitation of many voters in Rideau Ward I consented to offer myself for the candidature of alderman for that ward. Subsequent events prevented me from doing so. I therefore think it is quite in pro- cedure that I should give an explana- tion. as to the reason. At a recent meéting of the board of directors of the Kingston Industrial Agricultural | Association the matter was brought up and discussed, the directors main- taining that owing to the distressing | weather conditions prevailing while the exhibition was in operation in 1920, thereby creating a liability of $4,000, which they assumed in order that Kingston City should have an annual exhibition worthy of note, that it was demanded that I should not divide my energies but devote all | that is in me in order that the said liability bé met. in 1921. 'As the directors have in the past been loyal to me, I therefore agree with them and intend to be loyal to them, and use all energy that I may be possess ed of, in order that the said liabili y may be removed. I therefora submit it would be most unfair to the direc- tors it I were to divide my energies in part or whole for any other interests for 1921. I thank those electors in Rideau Ward who offered to support me for aldermanic honors, and can say to them not to be dismayed, as I may be in a position at some future date to not only promote their inter- ests but the city as a 'whole, Might say for your information that many new and important fea- tures have been added already to the exhibition for 1821, which will make it one of the best in Eastern gstario. I trust the electors of Ride Ward and the eity will give us thelr eo- operation, which is needed, and you will be glad you have helped to make it su®h a good fair after it is aver. as you all'a happy and pros- pero w Year.
