THE DAILY BRITISH w In a recent fssue of the Whig I read with pleasure some observa- tions of an alleged historic charac- ter contributed by a former King- stonlan, now resident of Chicago, who signed himweif "AED." Bvi- dently he was in a reminiscent mood when he penned the notes in quée- tion, as Me stirwed up recollections of the past which have long lain dorment in my memory. I have a strong suspicion that I am acquainted with the young man in question, as I recall having fre- quently undressed and re-dressed him on the shores of Macdonald Park 'when he was of too tender an | (Princess street), was fenced in and' age to perform those fumctioms for himself, and when he was desirous waters of the St. Lawrence at "flat 'rock" where thousands of King stonlans acquired thie useful art of swimming. Fact is, I am of opin- fon that the hand that rocked my cradle was frequently employed ad- ministering chastisement to the writer of the notes in question. "1 do mot reside as far away from | Kingston as "A.E.D.,"" but there are many boyhood friends in my present place of residence, a number of whom have assured me of their in- tention to visit their Old Home Town during OM Boys' Week. I have jotted down a few notes of ancient history of Kingston, which show that reminiscences of "A.B. D." were of Kingston® of modern times. These notes of mine, I trust, may serve as an inducement to all Old Limestoners to shape their journeys Kingstonwards, with the clock in the tower of the city build ings in their mind's eye as a guide to the rendezvous in old boys' week. These notes should furnish all old timers with interesting subjects to discuss, and help draw them to the scenes of their youth. , Remember when the south end of Division street terminated at John- son street?
