10, the nomination of candidates for the
vacancy on the parliamentary represen-
tation OF the university, caused by the
acceptance by Sir Edward Carson of
the office of Solicitor General of Eng
land, took place in the college. AS
Trinity college is one OF the last OF the
old close-borough parliamentary seats,
las exclusive and Tory to-day as it
was i'll the time OF Elizabeth, its
foundress,-therc was very small at
tendance OF the members OF the uni
verslty. when the provost announced
the object OF the meeting to elect a
member Of parliament to represent the
university. Rev. Dr. Bernard proposed
the name OF Sir Edward Carson, and
DIR. J. w. Moore seconded the nomina-
ton. Rev. Mr.. Hunt proposed DR..
Trail, whose name was received with
derisive laughter by the other side OF
the house. AS no seconder for DR..
Traill came forward, the nomination
iell to the ground, and the provost de-
clared Sir Edward Carson reelected
without opposition, amid the usual
salvoes of Trinity yells and "Kentish-
fire" The students then dispersed in a
quiet and rather dispirited manner, as
an intimation had been received from
police headquarters that any attempt
to celebrate" the election, in old-time
fashion, would be out OF place-in view
of recent events-and would be Sup
pressed with strong hand and
weighty club. Ichabod! The peculiar
glory of Trinity has departed-to
return no more.
