A MOTION TO RECONSIDER. Trustees Mchennan and Rhinehart moved that the matter re closing Fifth Form in Al- landale, which was decided at the June meeting, be reconsidered. Trustee McLen- nan said the re ort that the Fifth Form upils would hav better advantages in the entral school than in Allandale was not the real cause of closing the Fifth Class there. The Inspector was satised with the teach- as to prevent him taking that class along with others he might have. The real _cause for making the change was to increase the class of `15 in the Central school to a larger class, a proceeding which he considered un- fair to 6th ward pupils. Trustee Ward was not sufciently posted on the matter under discussion as he was absent from the June meeting. He believed there was something radically wrong in the arrangement of class- es in the Central school, but thought it un- fair to deal with the Allandale matter ill the absence. of the Chairman of the Manage- ment Committee. Trustee Ball believed in making one good class out of two small ones, and as for distance, the Allandale pupils would have no further to walk than pupils in the East ward who are attending the Central. If the Central class could not be made any larger than it had been during the last term it should be closed, for in the eyes of the ratepayers it did not look well to be paying a man at the rate of $900 to teach 15 pupils. Trustee Rhinehart thought if the Fi th Form cannot make any better progress in the future than in the past it had V better be closed. -Trustee Reid was opposed to the reconsideration of the question until it is known what the Collegiate Institute Board do in reference to the question of making the First Form in the Institute free. If that ste is taken, then a Fifth Form in the.Oen "school will notabe required. If ` the Fifth Form was not making satisfactory , he did notithink the remedy lay in la ' ing the class; there must be some . fol` its. andthisoause should be located ' a_n_d,'_then '- removed.

AS TO REMOVAL OF BUILDINGS. That all buildings or erections which may be constructed or placed within this corporation in contravention of this by- aw shall be pulled down or removed at the ex- pense of the owner or owners thereof by the town inspector, if not removed by the owner or owners after one week s notice from such inspector to remove the same, such expense, if not voluntarily paid on demand by the town inspector, to be recovered by action in the name of this corporation in any court of competent jurisdiction. Admiral Dewey s Victory was the opening selection by Citizens Band last Thursday evening, and soon brought a large crowd of people, who listened intently to the defeat of the Spaniards as it is present- ed in sharps and ats. The rst ..waltz was Italian Nights, the sweet music of which certainly made the young men and maidens wish for a short exercise of the light fantas- tic toe kind. Dame Blanche is the name of an opera to which there is a very sweet over- ture, which was well played by the band as their third selection. Then came a serenade with euphonium solo by Mr. L. E. Lane; the tone in this solo was delightful ; if a soloist in. a visiting band had played equally as well, bystanders would have applauded loudly, but there was no applause, such good playing is of too frequent occurrence to no- tice. The lancers, Hunters Joy, . brouqht icy to many a musical soul ; and the waltz, Los Angeles, though distinctly American, is nevertheless worthy of closest attention, especially when played by the Barrie Band. One of the best selections of the evening was that stirring march called 1`horough- . bred. Last Friday Captain Johnson, of the Long- ford, informed Tm: ADVANCE of a sad drowning accident on Lake Couchiching on the previous Thursday afternoon A party of eight` men, among whom was Wm. Rob- inson, son of Mr. Charles Robinson. started from Ardtrea in a sail boat intending to go to Geneva Park, about 21; miles distant.

The latter was a subject of heartdisease, however, it appears, and probably that was the reason he sank and ` did not again rise to the surface. Several persons at Geneva Park saw the accident and at once put to the rescue of the men who were swimming around half a mile fromshore, and succeeded in saving Robin~ son's seven companions. The deceased was twenty-one years of age, well known and highlyrespeoted by Ardtrea people.

['i..5;``y nf the 3` Successful Excursions On Civic Holiday Thu Day Duly Observed -Largo` Growds on Presbyterian and i Firemen s Excursions. % | Monday was civic holiday in `Barrie. The general uietness about town was good proof of the act." Saturday's afternoon trains took a large number of- citizens to Toronto, Hamilton and other places where they re- mained nntil Monday or Tuesday with their friends. On Monday morning a special train carrying 300 persons in connection with the annual Presbyterian excursion -started for Port Sandeld, via Gravenhurst, where the Medora had been chartered_ to carry excur- sionists the rest T of the way. __ The sail throuszh the beautiful Muskoka lakes took from 10 o clock to 1, and the interval before 4.30, when the homeward trip was com- menced, was spent in lunching, viewing the annual regatta. and visiting points of inter- est in the vicinity. Barrie was reached at 9.30, the unanimous verdict being that the day's outing had been pleasurable and prot- ` able. e l The-Firemen wisely decided this vear to have their excursion to some point near at hand so that every person might go. The decision was well taken as was proved by the immense crowd that the Enterprise carried during the day to and from that pleasant place. So great was the demand on the boat that she had to make more trips than was intended. The boat therefore left the wharf at 9 30, 1.30. 4, 7.30, and 10.30, returning at 12, 3.30. 6 30. 10, and 2.
