It was fun for the boys, but the crowd under- . neath didn’t seem to see it that way. Many ladies had valuable parasols ruined, to say nothing of holes burned in light idresses, and the consequent nervous shock and danger. The wonder is a vigilance committee did not mount the steps and fire a dozen or two of the young gafl'ers clean over the building. All of them were old enough to have had better sense. It must have been “hereditary devilnient” that prompted the act. â€"Not a few of those who accompanied the Y. M. C. A. excursion to Barrie came home minus their headgear.
