With Dan Sweeney in the chair the session started off almost according to the ritual, the opening ode being hum med by George Ford, accompanied by himself on a fiddle without strings. The usual quarterly collection was taken up, of which the least said, the better, per haps.
 i Al. Herriman started the business pro- ceedings by offering a resolution that a committee be appointed to investigate and ascertain just what grounds there were for the insinuations that were par tially suppressed by the Judge, in the Mock Court trial.

Norton the appreciation of the public, of the efficient manner in which he has ad- ministered the affairs of his office now that he has finally succeeded in unload ing the responsibilities upon the should CTS of his recently elected successor, Allyn Fuller.
