IT WILL be seen by an article elsewhere
that the lovers of speed have formed an
association for practice and tests of ex-
cellence. The public will -commend any
action calculated to result in. the improve
ment of the driving qualities of horses,
whether it relates to speed or to excel
lence in harness or under the saddle, but
those men and women whese opinions
are valuable. and whose presence at a
driving park would grace the occasion,
and impart to it character and respect
ability, will do nothing to e~ncouragc-if,
indeed, they will even tolerate any organ
ization for the purpose of gambling with
the speed of horses. We do not think the
men connected with this organization
will lend their sanction to anything dis
reputable in connection with the sport of
driving, but we know the tendency of
these things and the temptation to add
new features and nike the practice ex-
coed the scope of the original design,
hence VIC enter our caveat at the very
commencement of this proceeding.

Hon. VIM. Parsons.


Mr.. ED1ToR:-WM you allow us space
to tell the public something Of the intel
lectual treat they may enjoy on Friday
evening, February 5th?
Hon. VIM. Parsons is an eloquent Irish
Orator, who is warmly endorsed by emil
nent men on both sides Of the Atlantic.
By referring to the extracts below, you
will find abundant proof of what we say.
His lecture is full of. encouragement and
stimulation for old and young. We
would especially urge that the children
and yorng people hear this crest orator,
for he will by his inspiring words ava
ken in their breasts a desire to live for
some purpose, and nerve them with that
sturdy independence and selfreliancc SO
necessary to enable them to cope with the
difficulties of life, with that spirit which
is "Bound to Win"
Mr.. Parsons has frequently been re-
called to the same place; in some cases,
as often as nine times in one season.
Should you miss this lecture you will al
ways regret it.
We have culled the following extracts
from hundreds similar, hardly knowing
which to select where all are 80 good:
All the speeches were vigorous and ef-
f~ectivc, but that Of Mr.. Parsons. was THE
Grafton Of the occasion. John Bright,
n. p, declared emphatically that Mr..
Parsons %eloquencc had electrified the
audiencc.-New York Times.
Hon. We're Foster, says: II do not wish
to draw .invidious distinctions and shall
only aver, that I never heard a more elo-
quent speaker than Mr.. Parsons, whether
o the lecture platform or in the British,
Senate"
Mr.. Parsons is one of the few orators
who have carried the New England Ly-
ceum, as it were, by storm. There is so
much grace. SO much life and 80 much
learning in the man, that he speaks to the
edifying As well as the entertaining of
his hcarers.-Boston Travlcr. =
Mr.. Parsons uses no notes,-and what
is termed a lecture might more properly
be called an Grafton. He eaptivates his
audience in the beginning, and holds
them, sometimes in breathlcss suspense,
sometimes in merriment until the end

For imprisoned e%locusncc and beauty

the lecture feld-Wendell Phillips.-Her

lose the opportunity of hearing this gift

Almost Il. Calam tv.

Last Monday At about . o'clock the cry Of
"Fire" rang through the city. The bells
echoed it in hurried tones, People walking
up.n the streets broke into . run, asd those
in stores and shops rushed forth simultane-
ously sud mingled with the wave Of humani-
~ which was rolling toward. tho scene Of dis
aster. which happened to be tho store of Chan.
der Bros, on Mill ctrset, it having taken fire
in the upper part Of the rear end. when We
arrived, at least twenty men had climbed to
to the roof Of an adjoining building, broken
through the side Of the store whore tho FIRE
was raging and were delugiag it with water.
The Hook and Ladder Company was On hand
promptly with apparatus and sided material
" in tho work Of extinguishment which,
through the hearty cooperation Of all, was
both rapid and successful. Perhaps 500
will Tepair the setual damage done, although
. much larger sam may b required to restore
the quiet, comfort aud consciousness Of sscu-
tity to the homo which was 80 uncsr.poni.
ously invaded BY the fire fsnd.

All classes make common cause in the pres
encs Of impending calamity. Distinction.
based upon social position, wealth, or oficial
station, vanish in . moment undor the al.
powerful instinct Of sell: preservation, and
men struggle together for the common. veal.
