ITHE KIWANIANS HOLD =" HALLOWE'EN MASQUERADE Zapt. John Donnelly Tells About the Release of the Rapids Prince. The weekly Kiwanis dinner held at the Frontenac Hotel on Monday even- ll} vent, and drew a very large attend- i ance, 107 members being present. l Many of them were in disguise wear- f |'mg masks and gaily colored cos- il | tumes, representing different charac- ll iters, some circus clowns, hobos, col- flicred minstrels, American Indian, | Little Boy Blue, King Solomon, Me- |/histopheles, Ol Man, Lady, The | Minister, Soldier, Victorian Gentle- fl i man, Yankee, and many others. It | was a gala sight when in procession {thé members entered the dining |rcom, decorated with cats and {witches and with lamps converted | into lanterns. The tables were ail | | su iably decorated also, and the hotel manager, Mr. Highes, had a special | menu, while the service was excel- i lent. 'Capt. John Donnelly 'was the ll | special speaker of the evening. | Garnet Lockott, song leader, had lf |2 splendid programme with Treneer's I orchestra, and everything went off if with a bang from the start. The f | programme included a recitation by ll George Smith, whose reputation as ll lan entertainer is well known, a song i |by the Kiwanis quartette composed ll lof Harry Newman, Allan Lemmon, il | Fred. Wilson, W, McCallum, and a | | spectal number by Mat, Hanson, Jack i | McGall, R. Somerville and Harry il | Newman. The Kiwanis choruses were ll |all heartily rendered. The roll call proved most amusing as the president, Noble Steacy, under- took to name the members and the fi | disguises proved too much for him in ll | many cases. "Wattle" Macnee was the booster and he provided many prizes, one of | them being a $500 fire insurance ll policy won by W. J. Keeley. The ll |other winners were: Jean Denee, T. fh |A. Kidd, I. Cohen, F. Evans, W. R. Givens, A. Lemmon, J. M. Campbell, 8. Driver, H. T. Sargent, A. McGowan. } He whose pride oppresses the ~ humble may, perhaps, be humbled, Put will never be humble.

Captain Donnelly released the steam- er under conditions never before me: with in merine engineering in Am- erica, or in any other country in the world, and his achievement was a noteworthy one owing to the hazards of the undertaking. | The first pioture showed the Rapids Prince in her dangerous position on a shelf of rock at the edge of the channel with the water rushing past at the rate of forty miles per hour. He described the extreme danger in- volved in going to and leaving the vessel, one man being drowned in rescuing the passengers just after the stranding of the ship. He was notified by telegram on the day of the occurrence and asked to visit the scene and submit a tender which was accepted. He then de- scribed in detail the assembling of his plant and the necessary equip- ment for the job. He located a rock above the surface of the water, fifteen feet by thirty feet, and about 1,200 vards up stream from the steamer. On this rock he placed a bolllr and steam winch, and after overcoming great difficulties fastened a cable to coverings. blend with these HOOVER vACUUMS, PIANOS, 'VICTROLAS, McLAGAN L ¥ i 4 the steamer and pulled her off, The utmost vigilance and concerted ac- tion on the part of the crew om the steamer and the workmen at the winch was required and # was ow- ing to the Ingenuity in planning and executing the task that ft was sue- | [ 7= 0 jo ing was a most successful Hallowe'en | Sale Price ............3 yards $1.00 DAILY BRITISH WHIG.
