Saturday night being the last OPP
portunity for Christmas shopping
was taken large advantage of by
the people. Fort street sidewalks
were densely crowded from dark
until nearly midnight, and the stores
were a Babel with buyers in several
languages crowding them. There
was a large force of noise makers on
the outside, who wore masks and
blew squeaky whistles, besides put
ting themselves badly in peoples
way. In spite of this drawback, due
to the absence of any intelligence
directing the police, the stores SEEM
ed to do a lively business.
What might be termed Christ
mas carol service was held on st.
Andrews Cathedral last Sunday
evening. A selection of carols was
we'll sung by the choir, assisted by
the leadership of the organ. The
Rev. A. Macintosh read the prayers,
emitting entirely the usual sermon.
