Club evening before last was well attended
Vice President Crane presided The pro-
gramme was one of unusual interest and was
enjoyed hugely throughout. Owing to its

highly in comment thereof. The question

tercst of the community, all places of bust
ness should be closed on Sunday" Debated
in the affirmative by Mr.. 0. E. Walker and

Although the boys who assemble at the
Young Mems Reading Room every Monday
evening for the sole purpose of creating a
disturbance, have been threatened wi h
being denied admission to the room, they
are still admitted. If it is necessary that
they be allowed to go in it is the duty of the
President to see that order is kept, and if
he is unable to do this he should post some
one in the rear end of the room, where the
disturbing element assemble, who will see
that the disgraceful conduct of these boys is
stopped. The way that they conducted
themselves last Monday evening was actu-
ally outrageous, and would shock the good
taste of the more refined.
