The committes decided to make a change in the market toils. At the Present time, a fee of 5 cents 1s charged for every single rig, and 10 cents for a team, but it was pointed out by Market Clerk Wilson, who Was present at the meeting, that in many cases, farmers ware bringing in just as much produce in the sin- gle rigs as with a team, and he did not think that the present prices were fair. The members of the com- mittee, after considering the mat- ter, were of the same opinion, and 80 they decided to strike a general rate of 10 cents. The committee received a letter from the Kingston Tennis Club, asking for space at the fair grounds for tennis courts, in view of the fact that a movement is now on foot to turn the fair grounds into an amusement park. The committee could take no action on the letter, to the fact that the ratepay- ers h ve "Yetta vote "on the fair grounds bylaw. gr fli The committee decided to do some painting required in the mar- ket house. The chairman, Ald, J. E. John- ston, presided at the meeting, and also present were Mayor Thomas B.

Regarding the problem of keeping the best men on the staff it is pointed out that the University has frequently brought younger men from other in- stitutions, only to lose them after two or three years, One recently &p- pointed professor is cited who, in offers of positions, with an initial salary from $1,000 to $1,500 more than he is getting at Queen's. In the past five years no fewer than 17 experienced teachers above the der to better their Tinancial posi- tion. " : The average salary in arts and ap- plied science, omitting tutors and demonstrators, and including only those of faculty rapk, is exactly the average salary of the 660 male tea- chers in the 53 Collegiate Institutes of the province of Ontario. Of these Collegiate teachers, few have geen a graduate school, and 84 have no degree at all. The maximum salary for the head of a department at Quden's is the salary paid to 9 teachers ™n colleg- fate institutes, and is from $200 to $1,000 less than is paid to 15 of the 53 principals.

In 1861 Mrs. Edward Copleston, an English lady wrote a book, "Can- ada: Why We Live In It And Why We Like It." In it she speaks of her arrival at Kingston where they dis- embarked on a Sunday morning. This brought forth the comment that "throughout Canada" there was "at all events a strict outward ob- servance" of the day, and follows an amusing incident thus related: "As we landed, the various conm- gregations were leaving their churches, and lined gach side of the street in full Sunday attire. It was a bad time to arrive, and our ob- streperous dogs made it worse. On our way from the wharf to the hotel they unhappily desired a pig which to their idéas of English propriety had fo business in the streets of an important-eity.... We were not long in discovering that pigs were by no means uncommon promenaders on the public sidewalks, even in large places like Toronto." a, The Coplestons "took a great fancy". to their Kingston hotel, which was truly "British American" and not "just American." "It was something," Mrs. C. narrates, to See once more "ap honest leg of mutton' on the table and '*'whole loaves of bread," instead of "finding everything slic up ready for im- mediate use," suggesting the hint that "all we want you to do is to eat and be off as fast as you can." ------------------ BATONS PRESENTE 10° CAPTAIN LIGHT By the Kingston Choral Soclety at Its Annual Meeting Monday Evening. A very pleasing feature of the an- nual meeting of the Kingston Chor- al Society held at Queen's Univercity on Monday evening was the presen- tation -of two handsome batons to the conductor, Capt. Alfred Light, R: M.8.M. One baton is polished white ivory for rehearsals, the other, a presentation baton, is of fine ebony, with silver mounting. Mrs. C. F. Gummer, in presenting them on be- half of the society, spoke of the very high appreciation accorded Captain Light's work as conductor of the Choral Society, his faithful and painstaking efforts to bring the chorus up to a high standhrd of etf- ficiency being recognized by every- one. He gave freely of his time, tai ents and' well-known ability and considered no sacrifice too great it by that he could attain somewhat of the results he expected and eagerly desired. Capt. Light was agreeably surpris- ed, and in thanking the members for their gift expressed the great pleas- ure he enjoyed in training the chorus for the various concerts they have given. He gave a short resume of 'the work done since the society was formed and complimented t membets on the very excellent gress made in that time, "You hav done good work," he added, "but you can do still better and the two things most essential to the attain- ment of bigger and better things are punctuality and regularity. Let no- thing interfere with the weekly re- hearsals. Consider that one night gacred to the work of the Choral Society. Faithful and honest effort also should be given to learning the several parts at home and at the sectional practices so that much bet- ter results could be had at the joint "rehearsals." The president, Dr. J. F, McFad- yen, thanked the officers smd the committees in making the season one of the most successful in the history of the society.
