Ward was held last night at Temperance
Hall, N d. Larner president, and E. K. Nc.

The President stated that the day which had
just closed had been one of the brightest he had
yet experienced in the efforts Of the committee
to fill the quota Of the ward. They had put in
more recruits than any other ward. In fact,
only one recruit had been put in by any other
ward. The prices for recruits were now about
half greater than when the club first start
ed, and the citizens must provide for that con-
tingency. During the day several well-known
gentlemen in the ward had sent messages to
the committee to spend the money on hand,
and no doubt the balance could be made up by
the people of the ward.
residing in the ward puts in a substitute at the
present time, or before the draft takes place,
and has the substitute credited to the Third
