had never before experienced. Moreover
he was compelled TO respond to a toast.
The more serious and less amusing af-

lasted from till o'clock this afternoon.
and the outcome is that Hugh Russell.

and Clarence Fredericks was dismissed
indefinitely, with the injunction that his
parents must accompany him on his re-
