Our article of two weeks ago on the Ramage-Calder Combination brought forth a. literary cnriosity in last. issue of the ReView. We’ll give Mr. Ramaze full credit for the auth- orship of the article, as we know of no one else that’s capable of slinging together such a heterogeneous heap of senseless incoherencies and irrel. evant quibblings. The leading line of the first para- graph contains an ‘ apology to his readers,” a ptaccice not uncommon to those who follow the-old-mawand- his ass policy of trying to please everybody and pleasing nobody in the end. Out-article he characrerises as “ rodomoutad. ," “ buffoonery ” and so on. but we’ll not quarrel on trifles. He further tells his readers that we “ Lhreu aside all restraint” " dragged the mat'er into the mire of persoxmlities,” and other stock in- trade expressions that, are now com- monly regarded as his Stereotyped weapons of defence. Had he been a week later he might have added " the reptile press ” but the famous .exmession literature. Notwithstanding the charge of our learned friend, that we ignored all rules of debate we had him in a. tight corner all the same, anu he’ll likely resort to the clever trick of getting a. big body through a. small hole. The size of the man is not always proportionate to the hole he can crawl throuh. The composition of the man has something :0 do with it. and straw is compresmbie. The next point, and it was a big one. refers to a literary duel we had some years ago, and that .we Still have brains enough to remember what we said, and can tell it at the present.

The hall was filled beyond seating accommodation, and mnnv had to stand during the whole of the lengthy program, yet very few left till the National Anthem proclaimed the performance at an end. , The Band was in attendance, and, at the door and in the hall played many patriotic strains before the be- ginning of the program proper. Dr. Jamieson, the Honorary President of the Patriotic Society. made an ad mirable chairman and in his intro- ductory adtlzess reviewed the situa- tion and various circumscances which led up to the preset t crisis. and showed wherein we, who are allowed to remain at home, should help to support the Widows and orphans of those who had gone to fight the bat- tles oi the nation. The. Dr. did not say an unkind word against the Boers, as a peogle but blamed Presi- dent. Kruger for his duplicity in play- ing with the British Government in order to gain time for the further- ance if his plans in making ready for the campaign. UCJV kuâ€"rw-"___ Rev.

The acknowledg-? mew. of Dutch independence in 1861 «and the subsequent action of Presi- dent Kruger in 1884, when he went to England to encourage the imptrtatlon of Foreigners into n the Transvaal. were also links in the {chain of develoyment, whiCh aided {in making the country prosperous, tn the material growth of its mxneral, commercml and agricultural indus- tries. Mr. Ryan did not look upon the Jameson Raid as the cause of the war but would attribute it more du'eCtly to the Afrikander Bond wlnch was formed for the pnrpOSe of driving the Butlsh out of Afrwtt. and showed itself in the concession de- manded by Kruger of the Enghsh prior to the commencement of hos- tilities. Rev. Mr. Ferguson on rising ex-l pressed it as has feeling that the: audrence didn’t want speeches, but in a few “23.1 timed remarks he pointed out the changed relations of the Empire, and the cemenung to- gether of all its component parts through the unfortunate circum- smnces the British people Were now forced to face.- He had no doubt as tothe ultimate outcome of the war. Brttain was sure ‘to conquer and Brittsh supremacy in South Africa would prove a. blessing to the Boers. They couldn’t see it now, but ina hundbrecl years from this their shoes. tors would rejoice’m the light. lnberty and freedom forced upon them in this closing year of the present cen- tury. Mr. Charter Smith is an enthusias- tic Briton and being called upon made a few telling remarks. which aroused enthusiasm by an unqualified ex-i pression of his willingness to leave. home, family and friends to assist’ in fighting 'the nation’s battles against‘ an oppressive foe. There- 'was no uncertainty about Mr. Smith’s sincerity and more particu- larly was this felt when he eJtpressen his indignant disapproval of a British subject who rock the part of Engâ€" Jand's enemies, forgetful of the civil "and religious freedom that formed ithe bulwark of England’s greatness among the nations. Mr. Smith is only a plain man but he hasa big heart, an indomitable conarage. and .n unconquerable loyalty to British interests. His address was raptur- ously applauded. Rev. Mr. McGregor also addressed the meeting; and though the hour vaslate and many of the audience felt that it Was time to retire. the loyal ring of his opening remarks prepared the way for an attentive hearing of an excellent outburst of patriotic enthusiasm. He like others who preceded him had no doubt {about the ultimate result. The Patriotic Concert. British people were not, going to cower under a reverse, but destined as the Anglo Saxon race is to carry enlightenment to the nation. they were sure of victory in the present. unfortunate war into which they had been plunged through ignorance, prejudice and bigotry. An interesting feature of the pro-l gram vas the National Historical; Representation, by a class of pupils? trained by Miss Large in her school. ? The play was intended to represent in characxer the difl'erent phases of Canadian National development from the time of its occupancy by the aboriginees, deveIOping in order the French and English regimes. and the amalgamation of Indian. English, Irish and Scotch which now loses itself in a purely Canadian National- ity. The singing and recitals of the little folks were good and the whole picture 1'. fleets great credit on pupils and teacher, as well as the intellig- ence of the section whose fortunevit is to retain a natural born educator. A couple cf well-chosen solos by Miss Renton, of Burlington, who happened to be in town visiting her uncle, Mr. Robson, were given with marked ability which shows consid- erable culture along musical lines. Miss Renton has a clear and distinct voice, of apparentlygood compass but not strong Her stage appearance is not “ stagey ” and a thorough lack of afiectation forces respect from the audience. Mr. James Watson, of Normanby. whose singing has delighted many an audience, was also a contributor to the program giving first " The Bug lishman,” 11nd in response to an en«- core he favored the house with ” Scots whu hue," often characteriz- ed the mom; patriotic song on record. Both seieutione were well rendered and equally well received: During intermission s. new feature was introduced into the evening's entertainment, being the presenta- tion of medals to the veterans of the Fenian Raid of 1866. After a few appropriate remarks by Mr. Gilbert McKechnie. who on Dr. .imnieson’s enforced retirement. very ably sus- tained his reputation in the chair, the several veterans of ’66 were called to the platform, and on each manly breaSt in turn, was placed our country’s 'reCOgnition of his services. At the request of Lieut Col. 'I‘elford this interesting ceremony was pre- sided over by Mrs. Elizabeth David- son who enjoys the destinction of being the oldeSt lady resident of Durham and who performed the duties of her office in a. most becom- ing manner. " Taming to-niaht.” “ A midnight aiarm.” a'd “ What we have we Hold.” formed well susmincd milit- ary tableaux. The following were recipients of medals: Captain Wm. Anderson, Lance Corp’l C. L. Grant, Private Robert Allen, Private Samuel McCracken. Private James McGirr, Private Geo. Ryan, Private Matthew Scott. Priv- ate Samuel Soon, Private T. McGirr. The medal is a. maStorpiece of the coiner’s art being made of sterling silver of the Royal Mintâ€"on one side an exceedingly clear {nodal-lion of Her Majesty, and on the re- verse the Union Jack encircled by a wreath of maple leaves, while around the edge of the coin the name and rank of the recipient is engraved. The remainder of the program was rendered by the club in their usually good style and cousisred of a couple of songs by Mr. J. A. Hunter. a con- ple by Mr. 'l‘eiford, two or three pa- triotic choruses, and two spirited re- citals by Barrister Davidson. The National Anthem brought the meet- ing to a close, and no doubt all felt that the concert was a laudable un- dertaking, a grand success and a- powerful lever in cementing together the bonds of afiection to the lumber land, which must ever be regarded as the highest factor in making Brit- ain a. great nation, to be feared, honâ€" ored and respected throughout the whole world. -The total receipts amounted to $69.70. The outlay was'as follows: Printing,‘ bunting etc.. $9.25; rent- of piano 32.00; total outlay. $11.25; balance to be sent to the Canadian Patriotic Society, $58.55, .
