More Boats Than
The Law Required.

London, April f6.-In response To
telegram of inquiry as to the numbe"
Of boats carried by the Titanic and
how many persons they would accom-
modatc, the White Star Co ut Liver
pool sends the following message:
The Titanic had 20 boats. which Is
in excess of the official requirements"
The question of the number of boats
carried by steamers has been widely
discussed. Ii appears that The Beard
Of Trade regulations permit 4 redue-
ton by half In tho number Of boats,
RATS ard buoyant apparatus carried
when the ship is efficiently provided
With watertight compartments; but
this concession does not apply to the
life Jackets and similar appliances.
According to some experts il would
be an impossibility TO carry Il sIlli-
cient number of boats To aeeomme-
date all on board the mammoth liners.
or if carried that it would be next to
impossible to man and provision them.
It cannot be doubted, however. that
the disaster will lead IL Il strict in
qury by the Board of Trade into this
matter. and a revision Of The regula-.
tons.

more genial, happier atmosphere could
not have been desired. After ample
justice was paid to the bountiful ban

men of the society in cooperation with
the ladies of the parish, Rev. FIR.

significance of the day, and the reasons
for its commemoration in progressive
country like ours, where always the
leaders and best men of the land dis

of which great celebration our happy

full of tender, consoling sympathy.
Yet these did not forbid, a moment
later, the gay, coquettish Interpretation
of Take me, Jamie Dear" His pleas

voice leave pleasant memory with all
fortunate enough to be present that
evening.
The old, and much-loved melody "The
Meeting of the Waters" sung by Mr..
Hubert Daley, was generously cheered.
The solo well merited the applause
which, as often before, voted him to be
favorite when refined, artistic num-
ber is to be rendered in a worthy man.

A bright, vivacious piano trio was one
of the best numbers of the programme,
and was thoroughly appreciated, as was
evident from the outburst that comes
from genuine enjoyment. st. Mary's

seemed to fill in any missing link, and
when the rousing chorus was finished.
the firm conviction, that it was indeed
st. Patrick's Day, was implanted in the
hearts of all present,
