Hence the absence of such talent on the occasion, and the pre- sence of so many citizens upon the plat- forms throughout the rovince whose high standing, and respecta ility is a guarantee of the sincerity of their praises of the principles and work of the Order, and of their utterances upon the important national questions with which they dealt. 3 Whilst the celebration of the day was I unusually extensive and enthusiastic throughout the province, the Orangemen of Lindsay and surrounding district are to be congratulated upon the splendid display which marked the occasion of the Twelfth in Lindsay. In point of numbers it was hering of the kind ever . wrtnessed 1n the Midland district, whilst ; as to the good order which prevailed and the general respectability which marked the whole proceeding, it was exceedingly creditable to the Society, as well as to the district generally. The very large pro- portion of young men in the ranks shewel that the membeiship of the order is con- tinually on the increase, and as to the men they were splendid specimens of Canadian manhood. The conduct of the men both 1 in the line of march and during their whole stay in town was loyal to the repuâ€" tation and to the principles of their Order, and the applause with which they greeted the sensible and reasonable utterances of the majority of the speakers shewed clearly that the Orangemen of Lindsay and surrounding district are loyal to the rights and liberties of good citizenshipâ€"equal Slll'l'ou-uurug moan". v.-- _-J ,, v and liberties of good citizenshipâ€"equal f rights to all, special privileges to none. 4 The enthusiasm of the vast assemblage ‘ gave unmismkable evidence that the Orangemen of this district have fully sized up the wire-pullers and manipulators who have been endeavoring to misdirect the energies of the Order to further purely party and personal ends. Their hearty responses to the liberal utterances of the speakers gave no uncertain sound as to the feelings of the Orangemen of this district upon the important national questions of the hour; but Whilst indi- cating their loyalty to the principles of equal rights to all, there were no indica- tions of their mistaking offensive utter- ances against any sect as an evidence of good citizenship. The demonstration throughout was a credit to the Order and to the district, and we congratulate the fraternity on the splendid celebration of July 12th, 1889. The following is a list of the district and lodges represented in the procession:â€" 1. Oshawa, Ontario county, True Blues. 2.

The following is the address :â€" OUR DEAR PRINCIPAL.â€"-lt ls Wltn a. feeling of sadness and the deepest regret that we have reached the last day of our happy term of school ; that we go, many of us, out into the world a gain, out from the sheltering walls of our dear Collegiate institute, out from the strong protecting 1nfiuence you have steadily though uncon- sciously thrown around us and which has ‘most assuredly left its traces for good indelibly stamped upon our characters, aiding in the building up of some, the strengthening of others. So with this regret is mingled a. feeling of true pleasure l â€"‘n that we have not been amassing mere academical knowledge alone. but that there has constantly been exerted a strong undercurrent for good, a. feeling that the close of the term finds us a. little nobler, a little stronger for the great battle of life, armed, let _ na hope, with some of that â€"~--â€"-‘ A...

Even before we had the pleasure of treading the halls of our handsome Collegiate Institute you had suggested the raising of a fund wherewith to equip a reading room, which, in your generous emulation for the in- terests of the school you assured us should not be surpassed by any in connection with a Collegiate Institute in this province. Nor has it proved to be otherwise. hose pupils of the school who have enjOyed the results of your tuition since you assumed the important and well-merited position ‘ of Head Master of the old High School, have noticed that several of the best eqip- ments of the school for the mental progress and general comfort of the scholars, conicide with your views of an ideal per- fection in the above mentioned lines. Dear Mr. Harstone, we wish to express in some way our strong attachment to you, and our appreciation of those ad- mirable qualities 'so characteristic of you, that scrupulous impartiality which you have always so rigidly shown in the class- , ”113-1. “.A “Iv u;n-Jâ€"..- ,, room, that stubborn patience which we have all so much wondered at and admired While we wondered that unwavering courtesy, upon which we believe cannot be placed too high an estimate; finally, that mingling of dignity and simplicity which casts a charm over the Whole. 1.

We wish it to be accompanied by this copy of Burns’ works as a slight token of regard. May it ever be associ- ated in your mind with very pleasant memories of your of sixth form of 1889. ‘l Luv.- Dear Mr. Harstone, could you look into our hearts just now and see the warm glow of affection we feel for you', you would surely be glad for our sakes that we are afforded this happy opportunity. We all take great pleasure in inscribing our name to this address. In each name we ask you to count a friend. And in the years to come should you ever be tempted 1 to fear that the good seed, which you have ‘ ’umwearingly sown, has fallen in desert 1 places then we ask you, come read this declaration of ours that we are conscious of leaving you a little nobler than when we first came under your influence, that you have in your quiet effectual way, accomplished a great and noble work which shall be multiplied and continued to be multiplied, as we give that to others what we have received from you. ‘- Presentation and Address. ghave always gbserved that you have n lawâ€"r .

When the tree is cut down it is spfit into strips sixty-six inr‘hes in length.

When the manufacturing process is resumed the “center,” which is of walnut, is fitted in, a. slip of wood is put up the middle of the night to set, the handle is then shaped up. The holes are next bored in the frame, and, the whole being rounded and smoothed 01!, oil is rubbed in to prepare for the polishing. The gut is then strung, and this is done with great care, each strand being tightened up until it rings like the string of a musical in- ' ‘ gers under the direction of some of the lead- ing players. For playing downwards it is considered to have advantages in the hands of experts, giving it great driving power. The “demon” racket which has figured in the law courts has a groove running lengthwise on each side of the handle and one cresswise near the tip to enable the fingersto grip more firmly. Most handles are, however, perfectly smooth. In weight they run from thirteen to fifteen ounces, and in price the best rackets range from a guinea to twenty-five shillings, while a good, ordinary one can be bought for half a guinea to fifteen shillings. The frame ‘ of a desirable racket should be free from flaws and have a straight grain, the gut ’ should be tightly strung and yet have a good ’ deal of elasticity, and the finish generally ’ should be good. \Vhen out of play, and in the winter season especially, a racket is apt ’ to warp unless fixed in a “prams,” of which ) there are various kinds. â€"â€"Pall Mall Budget.

The minister was short and undersized, but he got along all right until he came to Sis Cape. They waded out into the water hand in hand 1 until she was up to her waist, while the par- ‘ son was up to his neck and almost floating off The minister went through the usual for- mula, wound up with “I baptize you, Sister Capo, in the name of the Father, Son and Holy Ghost,” and made an eifort to duck the convert. She stood like a. rock, but the pas- tor missed his footing and got a. mouthful of water. 'Again he myed it. “Sister Cape, when I say the word you must let yourself fall back into the water and not resist.” But the good woman glanced over her shoulder and didn’t like the looks of the pond. When the word came she stood like a. tele- graph pole, while the minister nearly drowned himself in his endeavors to have her properly immersed. The crowd on the bank got con~ siderably worked up.
