THE GRIFFIN

The first vessel built in the western Hemisphere was the Griffin, the keel of which was laid on this date in 1879
 by workmen in the employ of La SaI1e. The Griffin was a bark Of sixty tons. and was built at the mouth of Cayuga creek, not far below the site of Buffalo. and near the foot of Squaw Island. She was armed with a battery of seven small cannon and some muskets. and fIoated a flag bearing the device of an Eagle. In August of the' same. year La Sale embarked with his, colony and sailed for the western end of Lakes Erie.

After a few weeks in which the good Bishop fairly trod Oh air, Lady Cynthia de- cided that she would not be able to give up social life for the career which would face her as the wife of an East End Bishop. and broke off the engagement. Later she married a soldier. The Bishop, now one of the great men of the church, might pick and choose among hundreds of lovely women who would doubtless be willing to share his glory, but. he has remained steadfast to the mem ory of his first love.
 All his life the Bishop has been an athlete. and last month he issued a challenge to meet anybody of his own age at any sort of game. Golf, tennis, cycling, lives and skitties are the
 Bishops favorite sports. but he is fond of many others, and, it is said, can give a fair account of himself with the gloves.

Australian women have long had full suffrage, and they gained that right without the necessity of fighting. Many other reforms which are being agitated .n America and Europe, and which are considered radical to the verge of so- ulalism. have long since been incor- porated into law in Australia. and both of the leading political are what we would consider radical differing only in degree The labor element is powerful. and the eight hour day is established by Jaw.
