a very enjoyable one. The club turned out IN
full force-a very nice crowd being there
| and though there were no ham sandwiches,
ETC., the time was very pleasantly spent,
very palatable literary and musical feast
being INDUCED in. The programme con-

question by Miss Jennie Wright, and
select reading by Miss Annie Wilson; Miss
Ella Kent presiding at the organ and eX-
ecuted some fine selections Of music.

energetic IN the discharge Of those duties.
He has undoubtedly accomplished his
share for the Third ward during the time
that he has been member of the council,
and would do so in the future if the people
conclude to retain him there He is the
first to announce for that position and, so
far as we know at the present time, may be
the last But, however this
may be, he. is the peer of any
opponent that may pre- sent himself;

But Judging from present appearances there
will soon be no more occasion for this
boast; for the same influence that gave the
