Quite a number from here took in the Haag circus at Hanover on Monday, and report it a good show. The circus had nothing on the side-show, though we are told, when some of our local acrobats started a few wild west stunts on the streets of Hanover, which fin- ally landed some of them in the cooler. Judging from the racket a couple of bunches of celebrants made about midnight, when they rolled in. everything was a hoWl- ing success. On Sunday last, morning and ev- ening. Rev. Mr’. Mitchell,- a re- turned missionary from Bolivia. South America. occupied the pulpit in the Baptistchurch here. He also spoke to the congregation at Glen- elg Centre.

On Tuesday last, Mr. angi Mrs. Michael O’Neil came in on the two o’clock Grand Trunk train from Saskatoon. to visit their relatives. the O'Neil family in Glenelg, and also his sister, Mrs. James Lena- han, of this place. Mr. and Mrs. O’Neil dropped in quite unexpect- edly. and were met on one of the town streets by his brother, Mr. Alf. O’Neil. who was on his way to the C. P. R. ticket office to pur- chase a ticket to Saskatoon, for where he intended to leave on the four o’clock train that same afterâ€" noon. Mr. O’Neil has been absent from this locality for six years. Two Provoncial Whiskey detect- ives. in company with Inspector Davis, visited the Central Hotel on Thursdav noon last, and spent about an hour With the proprietors searching for booze.

A diligent search failed to reveal any intoxicants, however, and the twvo provincial men adjourned to the Hahn House for dinner. 1 While in Ottawa last Week, we ihad the pleasure of meeting .Mr. :and Mrs. John Livingston and fam- g ilyt Mr. and Mrs. Marshall and their idaughter‘,'01ivine, and son, Archie, IMiss Annie Robertson, and Mr. :Dnn.

PERSONAL. - CANADIAN EDITORS HOLD 54th ANNUAL MEETING .The Canadian Press Associationl met in Ottawa 011 Thursday andl Friday of last week, and was large-‘ 13‘ repreesented by publishers from. all parts of Ontario, Quebec,. and! the Maritime Provinces.

The night passed uneventfully with its memos.) lo 1d of 'sleepers, and the train pulled into the Capital about nine o’clock on Thursday morning. ’i he meeting was-to le held in? the Chateau Laurier. the 1nagnifi-1 cent hotel owned by the (:rand1 Trunk Railway C‘on11'1:1n3'.and1 opened 0nl3 on the fiist of Iunei to the gene1al putlic.

Lau1ie1 is the last 33 ord in hotel1 const1uction and equipment. to appreciate this magnificent struc- ture in all its beauty, it must be seen. On entering the rotunda, :11 large statue of Si1 Wilfrid Lauiier' is about the first thing the 3'isitor1 33ill notice. \Vhether or not this is wisdom on the part of the! Company? from an advertising standpoint, was discussed by; many, and the opinions were based: to some extent on the political leanings of those who took the matter up for consideration. To us the wisdom or otherwise had never been thought of till the matter was being talked of by others. We see nothing particularly Wrong in it, but we believe narrow party preju- dice may in some quarters have an influence in both directions. The man who has the ability as well as the confidence of a majority of the electors, to rise to the highest position in the gift of the great Dominion, of which we feel so proud, is surely deserving of a large measure of respect by all, no matter what their political leanâ€" ings may be. ...’The announcement that Sir Wilfrid was to be present with .Mr. Borden at the banquet in the evening, was a delight to all, irrespecti3 e of their party leanings. The subsequent announcement of his inability to attend through ill- ness, which confined the ex-Prem- ier to his bed, was a source of general regret. Personally. we regretted very much his inability to attend, as we looked forward in happy anticipation to see and ‘hear the first orator of our land. gaging the past. present. and fu- ture development of the city .of 'Ottawa, possessed a ring about it that certainly spelled expansion. On arrival at the Chateau Laurier every Visitor was presented with a badge when he registered, and this badge was recognized by the street railway, and entitled the wearer to free transportation over all the Street-car lines, and to many other points of interest. The visit to the Experimental Farm, and the luncheon there on Friday Was an enjoyable feature of the outing. A short address by Hon. Martin Burrell, Minister of iAgriculture, was .an en’ioyable climax to the festive hour. The luncheon tendered in the beautiful ball-room of the hotel, was a complete success, and not onlv did all enjoy the .splendid repast, but they were enthusiasti- cally delighted with the “feast of reason and the/flow of soul” af- forded by the after-dinner speeches in response to the various toasts of the eveningf Hon. George P. Graham was the efficient and witty toastmaster, and few, if any, could show greater ability in discharg- ing the duties of the hour. Hon. R. L. Borden and Hon. W. T. White, were amongst the speakers, and each showed evidences of rare abil- ity in presenting the subjects upon which they were to speak.
