ting considerable. Her memory is
good and she enjoyed the day and the
meeting with old friends and relatives
some of whom she had not seen for
many years. Sherburn Leighton,
her brother, who is IS years old was
present. His antics were such as to
show that age had done but little to
lessen his wrestling ability. Every

stunt that but few can do at any age.
Mr.. Leighton made a speech during
the afternoon meeting, which was
much enjoyed by all.
