patched breeches; who will take me by
the hand when am sliding down hill,
instead of giving me kick to hasten my
descent; who will loan me dollar with

safe to make arrangements for more than

and the old veterans were fairly surround

from abroad was large representation

Intyre Post, and their ladies, were not
dismayed, and did the best they could tc

platform. The tables extended the en-
tire length of the rink, laden with food,
beautifully decorated, capable of seating
nearly 300 people. Back of the stand the
front walls of the building were hung
with flags, while the ceiling was festoon
