A lagand enthû8iastic meeting was heiç lihe Gleaner office on Thursday evening last- or the purpose of discus- sing the - advisability of orgaànlzing a hockey' dut. Mr. A. B3. Saunders oc- cupiedthe chair; and, after some dis- cussion, it was unanimously decided te organize and the following officers' were accordingly eleeted; President, H. Wilson; vicç pres., J T Robinson; cap- tain, A B Sanders; secretary, Fred Ed- wards; treasnrer, Fred Chapman; cern- rnittee of management, J P Lindsay, H D Talbot and Geo Halward. The club starts out with a membership of about thirty. No truth la the report, There is no foundation for the rumer, which bas been current here for the past two weeks, to the effeet that Major John A. McGillivray, Q. C., M. P., would flot seek re-election at the hands of the people of North On- tario at the approaching elections. Mr. McGillivray writes us to say that he has neyer authorized such a state- menut, and cannot in any way account for its origin. He will abide the deci- sion of the Liberal-Conservative con- vention, te be held shortly; and there is flot a shadow of doubt -but that con- vention will tender him the unanimous nomination of the party. The rumor is, no doubt, being circulated for the purpose of injuring the Major's chances at the coniing elections.
