That is the record of John Sullivan, 155 Montreal street, night clerk at the C. N. R. freight office here. It was great to see Mr. Sullivan play first-base 'last Saturday. The office staff, twenty in number, held a picnic at Collin's Lake that day, and the biggest event was the ball- game between the office staff and the freight clerks. In spite of his seventy years Mr. Sullivan made a "rep" that day for stealing bases. Along with the rest, he got a soak- ing in the rain on the way home, for the tarpaulin they tried to hide un- der did not always cover everybody, but he was not a "hap" the worse 'for it. « bg 4 Mr. Sullivan is a great baseball 'fan. He has only migsed one game this season, and that time Tie was sure Kingston would win. His son, "Mart" is a sport lover too and un- til he lost an arm in a railway ge- cident he was a crack hockey player. Music is another hobby of Mr. Sullivan's. There are not many men who have learned to play the violin or even the mouth organ after they had passed sixty' years. The veteran clerk left the farm to enter the railway"s employment back in 1873, when he was eighteen, and his first job was as a section hand. That was at Pickering. After two years he became switchman for four years, and then he learned tele- graphy. He spent two years at New- castle in this work and then was promoted to be agent and gperator at Darlington; where he remained eleven years. Then he. went to Port Union for seven years. In 1899 he was glad to hear that he was-being moved to Kingston as Is the Record of John Sullivan | Veteran Montreal Street Resident Is Now Night Clerk in the || | C.N.R.

For eight years he was baggage man at the Kingston Junction and since that time night clerk at the local freight oftice. No Desire to Retire. The last fifteen years of 'his ser- vice with the railroad has been night work and until four years ago, it was every night. Yet he is the pic- ture of health and vigor and has drawn only nine dollars sick insur- ance. Five years ago he was eligible for pension, but in his feport to headquarters every yéar he answers the question: "Do you wish" to re- main in the service?" with a decid- ed "Yes." He passes his annual med- ical examinations with flying colors. The company has honored him and passes and recently a long service pass, signed by Sir Henry Thorn- ton, himself, which will take him and Mrs. Sullivan on any train on any part of the road, was presented to him. Passes of this type are very rare on the C. N. R. Mr. Sullivan has seen many of his fellow employees '"'put on the shelf." The regulations allow a man to re- tire at sixty-five, if 'he has been em- ployed for twenty years. Just re- cently, two conductors whom he used to greet at the Outer Station as they passed through on the / main line, have been pensiomed. They are Rastus Smith, on the Brockville-To- ronto rum, and "Bob" MacConachie on tie Montreal-Toronto run. of health and both are making big plans for a reunion during Old Home Week of their four children, Mart, of North Bay, Minnie, of De- troit, who has already come home, Eva, at home, and John B., of the W.

The plenic under the auspices of St. Brendan's Charch, Rockport, on Wednesday last attracted a very large crowd from Gananoque, and no one was sorry for. going. Father Scott and his congregation are to be congratulated on the success of this event, which was beyond the most sanguine hopes.
