GEORGE'S DAY IS T0 BE OBSERVED By the Kingston Society Which Will Hold a Dinner Wed- nesday Evening. » St. George's Society of Kingston, which was revived last year with a strong executive, will observe St. George's Day by holding a dinner in the Belmont restaurant, Brock street, Wednesday evening. This society'is not going to allow St. An- drew's Society any longer to be spo- ken of as the only live national or- ganization In Kingston. "The old Bt. George's Soclety was very active in Kingston, and the new one is go- ing to be just ag strong. The offi- cers are: President, Dr. L. J. Aus- tin; vice-president, R, J. Driver; sec- retary, Prof. Bridger; treasurer, Capt. Harvey. A number of meet- ings have beem held since last au- tumn, and the members will comme- morate 'around the festive board the day that Old England his observed for some hundreds of years. 8t. George was born of noble par- ents in Cappldocia and was tortured and martyred on April 23rd, A.D, 303, During the crusades he be- came the special saint of chivalry in Asia Minor, and the knights who | tought in the Holy War wore his | red cross on a white fleld, on their | breastplates. He was taken as the | patron saint of England about 1348 when 8t. George's chapel, Wind- sor, was dedicated to him. He was also a patron saint of Aragon and Portugal, and his cross is still in the Portugese flag. A legend of the | rescue of a royal princess, who was | willing to deliver herself to a dra- gon whose thirst for human blood | could only be stayed by the sacrifice | of a spotless maiden, by St. George, | who slew the dragon, is associated | with the young martyr whose name has since become a household word in England, and whose blood red | cross is on the banner that stands i for the righting of wrongs through- | out the world.

There was a pnofision and variety of flags and red, white and blue bunt- ing, nicely draped and tennis rack- ets, lacrosse sticks and snow-shoes used in an effective manner, the whole sceme being extremely ar- tistic. The orchestra stand in the centre of the floor was a work of | art. Too much praise cannot be | given to Capt. Babcock and his as- | sistants for the result attained by | thelr efforts to make the large hall | attractive. Seven hundred invitations had | been'issued. It is hoped that the receipts were large for the Boy | Scouts need the money to help them defray the expenses of their annual summer camp. | The charming frocks of the ladies, | of infinite variety in color, shade, tex- | ture and design, added much to the beauty of the scene; und the mo- tions of the dancers were full of grace, which was no doubt, in part, due to the excellent music furnish- ed by Art Christmas' Orchestra. At midnight recherche refresh- ments were served. Then the danc- ing was resumed until--well, until it was time to go home. 'This report would not be complete without reference to the splendid exhibition drill given by the Boy Scouts as the first item id a most snjoywble programme. Suffice it to say that the performance showed the fine ability of Capt. Babcock as a trainer, his magnetic personality, which has gained him the good-will and confidence of the boys, not to speak of the very fine bunch of boys he has under him.

Grange, con~ ducted a successful drug business, under the style of Grange Bros, which business is still going strong, as Wallace's Drug Store, Limited, in the same premises. He was for some year in the tea business, also in the paper mill business at Newburgh and in other commercial enterprises, which helped build up this section of the country.
