Barre's park commission is determined |
to end the practice, common among the |
school children and not altogether rare I
in more mature people, of swinging from |
the slender trees that are dotted around |
their elder brothers in city hall park. In |
seasons past the trees have been used i
for gymnastc exercises of every descrip- /
ton and not always to the betterment /
of their shape. Indeed. some OF the
young elms are so twisted as to lend /
the appearance of deformity or imperfect
growth. To-day commission member,
with an assistant. spent the forenoon in
wiring some of the badly twisted trees
in such way as TO correct their UNI
shapeliness. This plan of anchoring a
small tree to larger one by means of /
Ia wire guy has been successfully fol- 1
lowed in other cities and is expected to /
serve the desired purpose in the local
park. Meanwhile the commission will /
exhaust every effort in keeping men and
boys from swinging on the trees.

party was seated at tables and finch |
was in full swing. After several spirit
ed contests, the teams captained by Mrs. /
j. Stewart and Mrs. J. Wildgoose proved /
to be the winners and were awarded the !
medals. President John Stewart then
called for order and after speech, on Il
behalf of the company, presented to Mrs.
Ross a handsome rocking chair and
pair of portieres, which had been secret
ed in the ball during the din of battle. Il
After Mrs. Ross had somewhat recovered II
from her SURPRISE she thanked the com
pany and Mr.. Ross also added few
words. A bountiful repast, which had
been prepared by the ladies, was then
served, after which the remainder of the
evening was devoted to music, etc. A
violin solo by Mr.. Hughes was followed
by a cornet solo by James Stewart: then
George Thompson rendered the "auld
Scotch sangs" in fine order. A duet by
Mrs. Watson and Mr.. stephen was well
received, after which Mr.. Hume treated
the company to some remarkable Jug
Cling. Messrs. Wildgoose, Ross and
Watson then sang "America" in man
ner which made the neighbors sit up and
