Presentations.

1t having been rumored that Mr.. M. s.
Chamberlain, so well known as the popular
cashier at the Falmouth Hotel, was soon to be
married, the boarders and employees arranged
to make him present as testimonial of their
regard. Accordingly, Saturday evening he
was presented with splendid gold watch and
chain, valued at $114. The watch was of the
best grade of Elgin watches, and was furnished
by Messrs. Todd & Morse. The many friends
of Mr.. Chamberlain wish him all the happi-
ness possible in his now relations.
At the station Saturday night committee
from the Light Infantry called out Officer
Fred Norton, (who has been a member OF the
Infantry thirteen years, and was recently ap-
pointed on the force) and presented him with
handsome open-face silver Waltham watch.
The presentation was made by Corp. j. G.
Moore, in behalf of the Infantry. Officer
Norton was completely surprised.

The Dominion Line.

Mr.. Lemon of Liverpool, marine superin-
tendent of the Dominion line, was kicked by q
horse recently, and so badly injured that he
will lose one leg. This has incapacitated him
from duty and he has resigned. Capt. Archi-
bald Reid, shore captain of the line here, but
who was captain on the Brooklyn on her re-
turn to England, is now filling the position of
superintendent temporarily and will probably
be appointed Mr.. Lemons successor.
Capt. Williams, of the Oregon, has resumed
command of his ship. A short time previous
to Capt Reid's return to Liverpool he acted as
marine superintendent of the line.
The new ship Vancouver of the line, whose
keel was laid last March, is rapidly nearing
completion and is expected to make her first
trip to this port next April.

ems, Thomas Bassett and another-the Oldest
not over twelve years of age, entered the
stable OF George Tucker, the hackman, on
India street, through small window and
gathered into two bags all the movable prop
erty that they could get away with. They
took rubber coats and hats, a heavy overcoat,
couple of pairs of trousers, overalls, pieces
OF harnesses, buckles, belts, a. hackman's
badge, and old iron. They got out of the
stable as they had got in, and were making for
junk store when they were noticed by Officer
Slower, who started in pursuit. Young Bas-
sett dropped the bag which he was carrying
and escaped, as did also one of the other boys.
The Stevens boy was caught and taken to the
station with his booty by Officers Fickett and

The Recording Secretary made the following
report.
sEcRETARY's REPORT.
In presenting the seventh annual report of
this Society, must confne myself to mere
facts, and those but meagre, concerning its
work. The details cannot be brought out in
such report, and the results and good accom-
plished cannot be estimated and presented.
The large and regular attendance at the
business meetings has evinced the interest of
the ladies'. These meetings have been preceded
by devotional meeting of half an hour.
Throughout the year Sabbath evening meet
ings have been hel4sat the Inn, except during
the summer months, when there have been
out-of-door meetings. The attendance on these
has been larger than in former years
Thursday evening meetings for the instruc-
tion OF children and youths in the principles
of temperance and sobriety have been held,
until the vacation season, with encouraging
results.
Much has been done in the way of repairs
about the Inn, which has afforded home free
from temptation to many men.
The department of the Police Mission would
show the greatest amount of labor resulting
in permanent good could we only give the de-
tails and results During the year the matron
has met at the station 225 women and girls,
with all of whom she has had more or less con-
versation, and to many of whom she and the
station committee have rendered much valua-
BILE aid in the way of encouragement to and as
sistanee in the right way of living. Zone young
girl has been sent to the Industrial School, and
from several placed there bysthis Union we
hear encouraging reports. Some of the wom-
en- who had no homes, have been provided
With them in the country, where they can earn
an honest living; others have been sent to the
Temporary Home, which has most generously
received them and wisely cared for them. In
as far as possible, the police matron and sta
tion committee keep watch and guard over
all those who come under their care at the sta
ton and Greeley Hospital, where regular calls
are also made. Frequent visits are made on
these women at their homes in the city, and
communication is kept up with those out of
town.
The Flower Mission, during the summer has
distributed over 800 bouquets in the hospitals,
jail, orphan asylum and the Bethel, and to
sick individuals at their homes.
Three times the Union has come before the
public in money-making way, for v need
much money in carrying on the work. The
people generously responded to the calls to
supply the restaurants of last October, and of
June and July of this yea:. To all who aided
we tender hearty thanks and bespeak their
kind services for future occasions
Respectfully submitted.

MUSIC AND DRAMA.
THE wEArHERcocK.


That our readers may know something of the
"Weatheicock, - the opera in which the Ideals
will appear at City Hall, October 9th, we will
say that the opera, under the original name,
"La Girouette," was brought out first about
four years ago in Paris, at the Theatre des
Fantasies Parisiens, and was written by NM.
Emile Emery and Henri Bocage, the music by
M Codes. The adaptation to be used by the
Ideals" has been made by Mr.. Oscar We'll,
who made such success in the version of the
"Musketeers," brought out by the same COM
pany last season. Cedes, the composer of
The Weathercock," was prompter at the
faris Opera and is described as being one of
the Joiliest of good fellows, who waited so long
ior luck to strike him that when at last he
scored success with his opera his good for
tune and consequent surprise turned his head
temporarily and sent him to an asylum. The
opera was put on at Daly's Theatre, New
tork, couple of seasons ago, the translation

the production by the ideals" will be the

'ne opera takes place in Hungary century or
more ago. giving chance, which will be i'm
proved, OF costuming the principals and cho-

Inc Inc story turns on the love of gallant for the

tions OF the book are happily suited to give

Mr Wells clever work in the dialogue adap-
tation promises to go far in securing a success

many elements of popularity. "The Weather
