In Queen Victoria's time it was the
graceful custom, after a command"
performance for her private secretary
TO send letter of thanks next morn
ing to the entertainers. The late Sir
Henry Ponsonby, upon whom this
duty devolved, was the soul of polite
ness, and never made any nice distinc-
lions as to the recipients of her ma
jesty's gratitude. Accordingly the
same form Of letter was sent to all
alike, and on one occasion the proprie-
tor Of a troupe Of performing geese,
which had entertained the royal chill
dren at Windsor garden party, re-
ceived the following communication
from Sir Henry: "Sir, l am instructed
by the queen to thank you for your
visit Of yesterday and to express the
hope that the ladies and gentlemen OF
your company have returned safely to
London, and in good health"

Features of Exercise

o. Saturday afternoon, between )
and p. m the Fifth District Civic
Leagie will formally open up to the
Alg.,rs children in that vicinity the
new play grounds which have been so
kindly loaned by the Cumberland Tel
ephune Company.
Al 'angoments have been made by

occasion. There will also be a ball
game between two teams of the Belle
Vile School girls and large class has
been made up of school children who

The paraphernalia for the play
grounds has been placed in position
and by Saturday everything will be in
readiness and the formal opening of
the grounds will take place, unless the
weather is exceedingly unfavorable.
Tie establishment of this play
grounds is one of the first accomplish
ments of our Fifth District Civic
League aud they certainly are to be
.congl atulated for the interest they have
all taken in the affair to make it not
only a success but a possibility. They
have all been earnest workers and are
deserving of the good things being said
of them. Our good citizens should give
the Aigiers Civic League a thorough
boost and so long as the ladies who
are prominent in its work stay out OF
actual politics, they will not only get
the support of the best people of our
town, but of the press as well. There
are many things that the League can
take up that will bring the same kind
Of satisfactory results as the play
grOr nds. The members are all to be
congratulated and no doubt the attend
anca at the opening of the grounds will
in way show public approval of their
action.
