M. l.. A.-By reference to our entertainment
column it will be seen that the Mercantile Lii
brary Association announce the programme of
their Twentieth Annual Course of Lectures
and Concerts for the coming winter A more
popular series of entertainments we think it
would be difficult 20 select. Miss Adelaide
Phillips is so we'll known, and such favorite
in this city, that her delicious voice should
alone be sufficient to crowd City Hall; but ia
ken in conjunction with the talented young
pianist, Miss Alice Dutton, and several well
known singers, an array of talent is offered
rarely combined at one concert. Vandenhoff s
Readings are among the best known in the
country and always draw full house, while
John b. Coughs name speaks for ITSELF The
tale nted, graceful, and brilliant George w.
Curtis will be welcomed with delight. For our
own part we had rather spend an hour listen
ing to Curtis than any other of the popular
lecturers of the day. His wit is true wit. his
satire keen, his dction scholarly, his declama.
ton conversational and pleasant, and pecu-
liar charm pertains to him apart from any
other lecturer. The Rev. Robert Laird Col
lier is one of the finest thinkers and writers in
the country, and stands among the leading
Unitarian clergymeh of the day. He is man
of power, and is accounted one of the lights of
the Great West.
We congratulate the Association upon the
excellence of the menu they have provided for
their guests, and hope that the public will re-
spond with their customary alacrity by filing
the hall to repletion every night. The course
commences on Monday evening, Nov. 1st

AMUSING INCIDENT ON THE HORSE CARS
AS car was coming into town over the West

child in her arms. The seats happening to be
full, a gentleman arose and politely requested
her 10 take has seat, saying that he was better

THE TRoT AT SCARBoRo. The trot for a
purse of $1,000, best three in five, at Ling's
Park, Scarboro', yesterday afternoon, could
hardly be called first class affair. There was
considerable "chenaniging" and squabbling,
and the race was not decided, the fifth heat be-
ing postponed until to-day at o'clock. The
track was in as fair condition as could be ex-
pected after the heavy rain. William Wood
ruff held the lines over the roam mare 'Arco-
la," and Sam. Jacobs over the dark brown
horse Troublesome The judges were
Frank Libby, Geo. Warehouse, and Colonel
Kicker. After little scoring the animals got
the ego" for the first heat, which was very
pretty one, the horses showing some good
square trotting AID was won by Arcola in 2 49,
On the second heat both horses INDUCED in
some running, and it was declared dead heat.
The third heat was pretty good one, and was
won by Arcola in 239. In the fourth heat
there was considerable iockeying, but it was
eventually given to Troublesome. 1t had now
got to be dark, about o'clock, and, after a
good deal of Ginning" and wranglng all
round, the last heat was postponed as stated
above. Altogether it was most unsatisfactory
affair. The attendance was not very large
