I The annual banquet of the Kings- ton Gentlemen's Driving "and Mati- nee Ciub was held in the British X erican hotel on Tuesday ever . and the occasion marked an epoca in the history.of the club. 1 tainment was a royal one. Fitty- LWO persons sat at the tables, and prominent, among the guests were Samuel McBride, president of the Canadian National Racing Associa- tion, Toronto; Lester Boyce, Napa- ree; Mr, Parks' and Dr. Benson, Beilevilie. Splendid addresses were given, and the music furnished by the Jazz orchestra, Hutts Harmony | Hounds, and the Kingston orchestra, was greatly appreciated. L. A. Gask | baritone, sang several songs in fine voice. M. 8. Grace, president of the club, occupied the chair, and extended a warm welcome to the members and guests. He introduced Mayor Nickle, who," after congratulating the club | upon the fine sporting spirit always shown, gave an interesting account | of civic affairs, dealing with the | finances and criticisms often heard. J. M. Hughes, ex-mayor, proposed | the toast to the club. He compli- | mented the members upon its record for clean sport. He was present at its organization, and he was glad to | know that it was now the largest rac- ing club in Ontario. Speaking of civic affairs, he said that during his | period of office there were no over- |drafts, as he believed in keeping ex- | penditure within the revenues, He | believed that if the driving club had | | control of the fair grounds there | wouid always be a good track. | (BE. J. Metcalfe, secretary, respond- | ed and told of the growth of the club | which during the, last four years had | paid out $9,808. It now had seventy members in good standing. | ~ Samuel McBride gave an account of racing in Canada during the past thirty years. He has been president {of the Toronto Driving Club for | twenty years. It was at first formed {along lines similar to the Kingstoa | club, but now carries on professional | racing, including trotters and pacers. {In 1908, a Toronto trotter, King | Brison, made the world's record. | They searched the dominion for the | best horses, and now have the high- Jest average in America. He repre- sented Canada on the Natdonal Rac: ing Board and secured concessions for ice racing, carried on from De- cember 1st to April 1st each year. The rule regarding the use of hob- | bles was the beginning of {racing in Canada. He told of the formation of the Canadian Racing | Association, which governs the sport {in this country, and the Americans | have not now the hold in Canada that | they had. Previous to 1910 every | purebred horse had to register in the | United States, but they are now | registered in Canada, and this regis- tration has become a factor in rac- ing. Mr. McBride considered that it was a great achievement when a | Canadian bred horse, owned, trained and driven by a Canadian, covered the mile in two minutes flat in the United States. Some noted €anadian horseg' were Shield Coot, trotter, | 2.04%; Eel, pacer, 2.02%: J. Patch- jen, 2.03% ; Hull, 2.04; Gratton Roy- |al, 2.06%; Amardale 'and Day | Spring. Some of these records were | made on ice, but the ice record is | not a handicap on the cummer track. | The farmers are now breeding Stan- | dard bred horses. | "Mr. McBridé told of the negotia- {tions with the dominion and provin- cial governments when race tracks were under investigation, and of se- curing concessions for harness horses. - He gave some wholesome advice for the. managers and drivers in races, and reminded his hearers | that the sport belonged to the pub- lic that demanded only good races. | Only by the strictest enforcement of rules could the sympathy and sup port of the public be secured. Other speakers were Lester Boyce, Napanee, and Mr. Parks, Belleville. 'T. Nicholson, treasurer, proposed . the toast to the reas and Mr. Hed- ley responded. A hearty vote of thanks to the speakers was moved by William Veale and seconded by Mr. . Lowry. og "Hearts of Erin." Coming. George M. Gatts' "Hearts of Erin," in which he will present the young «enor, Walter 'Scanlan, at the Grand j Opera House, Monday, Nov. 9th, one night only, is described as being like !a breath from the heather clad hills {of Ireland. It is a romance of Irish | life in the latter part of the 18th cen- | tury and is said to Ve filled with the :eal humor, the sparkling wit and the sentimént of the Irish people as they are in their native home. It is scintil- lating with bright dialogue, and, as ireland was one of the fashion cen- | ters of Europe at that period, brilli- ant costuming enhances the beauty {of the story.- The authors, Charles Bradley and Lorin Howard are mas- ! ters of this style of writing and have filled their play with the most 'inter- esting types of Irish characters. Mr. Getts has left nothing undome to make the production one of the most sumptuous ever seen in Irish drama 'and has organized a cast of unusual- ly clever players to support his young star of charming melodies, which dis- play his tenor voice to the greatést advantage. --Advt. * "Pwin Beds" Coming.

His first stellar vehicle is "Civilian Clothes" adapted from | the popular stage play of the same name, The picture' will be shown | at the Strand theatre Thursday, Fri- |day and Saturday. Though still a | young man, "Tommy" Meighan has | enjoyed a stage and screen experi- | ence such as comes to few players in |a lifetime. He started his dramatic | career with Grace George and, after | I Warfield in "The Return of Peter | | Grimm" and "The College Widow," {he transferred his talents to motion | pictures. His early screen appear- | ances were in support of Mary Pick- { ford and Marguerité Clark. As the i hero of George Loane Tucker's "The { Miracle Man," he scored a huge per- | sonal success, Cecil B. DeMille's | "Male and Female," and "Why | Change Your Wife" in both of | which he' played the leading male | roles," marked further milestones in his development and led to stardom in "Civilian Clothes." is a singulafly handsome young man of genial and virile personality. { He is ideally.suited to play the ex- | soldier role in "Civilian, Clothes." | The picture, which is a Paramount, {was produced: by Hugh Ford | Martha Mansfield is the leading wo- | man.--Advt..
