Asso- ciation met on Monday evening. Comrade 'W. Bowker, secopd vice- president, occupiéd the chair, and | expressed his hope that .the presi- dent, Lieut.<Col. Crocker, would be with the association for the meeting a week later. Interesting reports were received from the following: Comrade Spar- £0, membership; Comrade - Smith, dances; Comrade Bailey, investiga- tion and complaints; Comrade Howe, whist drives; Comrade jWar- burton, billiard tournament; Com- rade W.

Toronto al- ways has crowds of citizens on hand, and several members of the staff at the station, and it was the opinion of the members that Kings- ton might 'well do the same, and plang were laid to make' prepara- tiong fer 'proper receptions in the future. Comrade Howe ,was "ap- pointed chairman of a committee of eighteen members for this purpose. The Geo. Richardson Chapter I. O. iD, E. will co-operate 'with the mem- bers in the matter. The recognition of Comrade E. J. Allen, a member of the executive, who has left to take up duties at Cobourg military hospital, neeessi- tated the election of a member to take his place. A ballot was taken with the result that Comrade Sleeth was elected. {The association feels the loss of Comrade Allen very keenly, but it has a strong man in Comrade Sleeth to take his place Arrangements for the dance to be held in the City Hall the latter part of this month were left in the hands the present dance - committee. The dance will be held under the patronage of the Manicipal Chapter two | 1.O.D.E, An executive meeting 'was held invmediately after the regular meet- ing, when the resignation of Lhe secretary-treasurer, Ww.
