THE QUEENS BIRTHDAY
Large Meeting Of British Residents
TO Arrange for Celebration.
Il Will Take The Form Of a Grand Ball
Committees are Appointed for
All the Services.

II. B. Ms Commissioner and
Consul General, W. j. Kenny,
proved himself model chairman
at the meeting of British residents
held at the Pacific Club last night.
He was tactful in a high degree,
withal facetious in the right place.
When small cloud appeared on
the horizon, evolved from a slight
misunderstanding as to the rela-
tons of different organizations to
the meeting, Mr.. Kenny said
there was a Fourth element" that
might be imported into the di--
cussion. 1t was not an element
usually credited with promoting
harmony, but he would undertake
to represent it on this occasion
with that object in view.
This reference to the Com
missioner's Irish nativity put
the meeting in good humor.
