Roam ’- CHRISTIE CO Leadmg Shoe Store In the evening the first eomemzione in the history of the school was held. It was a brilliant event and a thorough euc- ceee. The various rooms with their lendid decorations had been closed in t e afternoon. but in the evening were thrown open and thronged by the culture and beauty of this town and county. The artistic taste of those who had the decor‘ sting in hand was evident from the greati staircases, to the banners of old-gold, red ‘ and blue that streamed from the ceiling of Assembly Hall. In all this vast extent of ornamentation and color there was no confusion. Here was method without madness. Every corner, room and stair- case stood for something. had its own particular significance. Among the decor- ations on the eastern stairs there nestled , ,“_â€"_ â€"â€"~â€" ' Thos.

Grace sent letters or telegrams regretting their absence, and in some cases making happy reference to their associations with the school and expressing hearty good wishes for its future prosperity. Dr. W. C. Herriman of the Hamilton Asylum made an exceedingly appropriate speech, as did ‘ Dr. Fred Smale of Toronto University. These told of the period intermediate between the old and new orders. Princi- pal Harstone delivered a model address, but almost took some of his auditors‘ breath away by referring to algebraic quantities as “old friends.” Mr. J. C. ‘Carter and Mr. W. H. Day held up the honors for the students of recent times, and then the Colleges had their innings. Mr. Charlie Matthews responded on behalf of McMaster. Mr. Alf. Scully for Trinity. Mr. E. A.

Afldersgn aque in behalf of that Thursday of last week was red-letter day in the educational history of this town. It was a field-day, a grand review after nearly half a century of matching. For two months the Alumni Association had planned and worked for a general rally of old students during the Christmas holidays. Hundreds of invitations were issued. Many of them were addressed to names that have become distinguished in this country. A flood of hearty accent-1 ances came back and the work of prepara- tion was begun. To plan, execute, organize, decorate, these were the tasks this undertaking involved, but with that enthusiasm that only students know the thing was undertaken, pursued, done and done in a way that brought satisfaction to designers, pride to visitors and spread the fame of cur Collegiate far and wide ‘ throughout the province. THE AFTERNOON GATHERING. Fine weather favored the students. Thursday was a day for everybody to go out of doors. Enthusiasm and curicsity were at their highest. For days the flutter of red, blue and old-gold ribbons had set: the streets agog as their wearers hurried te and fro. The four-in-hand sleighing party on Christmas day, with their uproarious hilarity and the fearsome sound of the college yell roused up resolves in many minds to join in Thurs- day’s celebration. And they did. When Archon Weldon called the afternoon meeting to order. he looked into the faces of old students from all parts of the pro- vince and every walk of life, who with their friends completely filled Assembly Hall. Proceedings began with addresses of welcome pronounced by Mr. G. O'Leary and Miss M. McAlpine. Mr. E. Kylie, one of the Colieglate’s most promisinr graduates, made a brief address, and Mr. Ed. Smith put the audience in good nature by a clever original bit of humorous doggerei. Then followed the election of officers of the Alumni Association for this year. - Famous abroad for industrial and commercial activity, renewed for our prowess in the realm of sport, we fill out the measure of the reputation of a modern town by no mean achievements in the pursuits of culture. While our trade- marks are in all ports and the tidings of our curlers’ skill have gone around the earth, it will not be supposed that we are either sordid commercialism or a commun- ity of triflers, for the names of our students adorn the records of the world’s great seats of learning. Not more honor- able or prized are those awards among illustrious competitors in the nations’ marts or the treasured tokens of expert-t _ness in the trials of skill. than the trophies brought from halls of culture by ex-pupiis of our schools. Nor is our education a veneer. It has been a strong and constant factor in this town’s develop- ment. No department of our civic life has been more carefully nurtured, nor is our evolution toward the ideal more marked in any sphere than that of educa- tion. It is not so long a journey from the mills of former times to our factories {of to-day, or from the corduroy to our §present roadways, as it is from the one ‘room and a lean-to, that tabernacled our school system forty years ago, to the splendid home of science, arts and letters in our midst today. We regard the Institute with pride and all her aims enlist our sympathy. As we go about our duties it is with frequent kindly thoughts toward the institution in which, removed from strife and passion, the search for truth goes on, OLD STUDENTS'CAME BACKâ€"REMINIS, CENT SPEECHESâ€"A BRILLIANT AFFAIR AT NIGHTâ€"COLOR, MUSIC AND A GAY THRONG.

We do not know that they can be classed as either musical. poetical or literary, and yet they probably combine all three qualities in some degree. However, no numbers were more enjoyed by the auditors. We speak of the college yells.

The House of Refuge Was alive issue in the county as a. whole. On the whole perha 8 there is no room to complain at the resu t, but it is not all that it shuucd be. From the returns at hand it is certain that the House of Refuge has been practically buried. That is to e regretted. There is room for morej than a. sus :ciOn that in the first division Mr . Shaver fell a victim to his support of that worthy institution. If so, while his loss can ill be borne he has gone down with colors flying in behalf of a noble cause, In town Mr. Kylie made a splendid run, but was defeated by Mr. \ ’alters‘ superior organization. The citizens of Lindsay have done one man a sad injustice. That man is Mr. A. D Mellon. He deserved re-election. Through his efforts the Rider and Kitchener flrm have been brought to the town on first- class conditions, and it is ‘a straight .case of ingrutitude that he was not re- turned. Such thinxzs go far to discourage public interest. Mr. Mallon desert ed better treatment. In other respects the town did well. The Free Library was carried by a. good majority, while the House of Refuge and bonus by-law both yvent with a sweep. Below some interest- ing figures will be found :â€" FOR MAYOR.
