The Lee Grant will not Close.

The reference to the closing
of the Lee Grant Hotel in our re-
port of the council proceeding in
last weeks paper was quite an
injustice to Mrs. Myers the le-
see, who we are told has no
thought of closing the house but
will keep it open and up to the
high standard of a first class ho-
tel in every respect. What we
wrote was a report of what oc.
Cured in the council cham Der
and correct and perfectly e gi-
innate report, still it was unjust
to the Lee Grant and its manage
ment since they have no thought
of closing. 1t always gives us
pleasure to make amends for any
injustice done whether we are at
fault or not.

The Delta Kappa Deltas met
the Douglas debating society
at Douglas on last Friday even
ing in joint debateonIthe question
Resolved that, Russia. not the
United States is the coming ma
ton of the world" the result
Of which Douglas was victorious
by few points.
The debate was highly inter-
csting and listened to bya very
large, appreciative and cultured
audience, the auditorium of the
handsome school building being
filled to oYerflowing.
Though Fitzgerald sustained
the unpopular side of the ques-
ton, still her speakers hearts
thrilled with no less patriotism
and their love for fair Column
bla" was by no means daunted
by their sanguine observation of
the point at issue, and the club
has every reason to be proud of
the very splendid manner in
which the question was handled |
by her debators. They did hon
or to the town, to the club and |
won fresh laurels for themselves.
While for Douglas, her success
was well won. Their logic and |
eloquence were so forcibly dis
played as to delight every listen
CT.
Last but by no means least, !
1T affords us great pleasure to
speak of the charming hospital
ity of the beautiful little city of
Douglas. Every effort was put
forth by those who entertained |
us to make our short stay among
them pleasant, and they certainly
su cceeded. Our defeat lost all
it's sting in the generosity of our
conquorers and the pleasure of
our visit and of meeting the good
people of Douglas far GU weighed
our regrets at losing in the con-
test.
At the next debate of the series
it will be our pleasure to enter
tain Doudlas, which will be Mar.
9th.
