o preside. MT. Baldwin announced the irst number on the programme, which was suth Miss Viola Sanford playing the harp with wonderful skill for lady of her years. This was followed by prayer, after which the male quartette of the church rendered 'fAve Maria' in good style, the quartette be- ing J. E. Pucci first tenor, G. T. Newhall, jr., second tenor, J. 0. Griggs first bass, H. s. Ballard second bass. The address of welcome WAS then made by MT. Baldwin inwhich he said It has been made my duty to-night to extend to the National division, Sons of Temperance, warm welcome here in behalf of the Sons of Tem mperance of Connec- ticut. We patiently hope and fervently be- lievs that the solid and firm friendships we have made in this world in the performance of our good work shall be continued in the beautiful world to come. We are glad to look into your faces once more and clasp your hands we welcome you to this our City of Films, with it's beautiful parks and grand old buildings The enemy against which we are striving is one of no mean pro portions. He no longer hides himself away in the recesses of city, but is to be found in the gilded billiard halls and saloons so near our colleges and homes. The saloon is bad and in no way beneficial, and if the republic is ever to be a strong one the saloon must go. It instructs in vice, ruins families and Cdu56S pON0TLJ. CAA Speah uOEo oOAAlbCly of the work done in our State than can of that done in others, and shall confne my self to my own State where twenty divisions and ], 1000 new members have been added during the past year. We are doing good not only in our division rooms, but outside where the great work is to be done. And now once more let me welcome you to our State, and let us trust that the coming year will be one of marked prosperity and God speed us on.
 The response was then made by MT. Ben jamin F. Dennison of Philadelphia Pa., M. w F. of the s. of T. of North America, who said: After twenty-one years of association with this National division I shall retire from this honored position of most worthy patri- arch conferred on me two years ago and step down, but not to give up the good work of the order by any means. One of the pleasantest parts of these is to me the making of friends. We assem- ble in these annual gatherings not for State or nation, but for the whole world, as our cause is the cause of all mankind. Ours is the work of God, and wherever men and wo- men feel the curse of drink there our work is. The saloon must go, or religion must. These two things cannot exist in one coun- try, and of the two the saloons will be the ones to go. We fight mighty enemy, but we have on our side one who is greater than all, and his religion will triumph. The speaker eloquently concluded.
 Miss Flossie Sanford, Miss Lucy Bachelor and Miss A. Richards, dressed one in red, another in blue, and the third in white, each carrying banner the color of her dress, appeared on the stage and, after reciting 6 verse, impinned letters on their banners so as to form on one the word Love; another, Purity; and another, Fidelity; forming the motto of the Sons of Temperance.
 This was followed by a solo and chorus, ''Oh, for the Wings of Dove" Mendelssohn, the solo being rendered by Miss Millie Schneeloch, which took the audience by storm and called forth loud applause all over the house. Miss Schneeloch received hand some basket of flowers.
 An address was made by Hon. Edward Carswel Ot Oshawa, Ontario, Canada, P. M. w. A., who made very interesting and witty speech, during which he said No other reform has made the progress that tenn peranee has in the last twenty-five years After MT. Carswell had finished Mir. Benja- min R. Jewell, of Boston, made short speech, during which he presented MT. Cars well with regalia of the order to which MT. Carswell responded in fitted terms.
 The male quartette then sang "The Haunt ed Stream" with 8 soprano obligato by Miss Schneeloch, which called forth loud applause from the audience. Miss Schneeloch, who is very young lady, did some fine singing last evening. S1e
 
 clear, and well deserves the praise bestowed upon her by the musical critics of the New York dailies when she recently sang at the Academy of Music in the latter place.
 The Rev. Mr. Nicholson. of Nova Scotia, then made short address and the meeting came to close after the singing of "God Save the Queen" and America" by the audience, the effect being grand.
 The members of the divisions then marched to Lincoln rink, where a collation. was served. The crowd at the rink was immense and some doubted whether all could gain adnittance, but there was room enough found. The College street church occupied reserved seats. The re- treatments included barrels of lemonade. This social wind up closed at about 11:15. Another Grand Rally To-Night-At
