GANANOQUE | Sept. 25.--A very pretty wedding was solemnized this morning at ten o'clock at St. John's presoytery when the Rev. Father Hanley united in marriage Rita Madeline, daugh- ter of Mr. and Mrs. James Bishop and Frederick Leslie son of Mrs. Alexander Bamford, both of Gana- noque. The bride was most becom- ingly attired in her travelling suit of navy blue poiret twill, with neck plece of grey squirrel. Her hat was a very smart black tailored crea- tion. They were attended by Miss Kathryne Brennan and Edward Chapman. Both the bride and brides- maid carried shower bouquets of sweetheart roses. Following the Ceremony a dainty dejeuner was ser- ved at the home of the bride's par- ents, Stone street south, where the guests included only the immediate friends and relatives of the con- tracting parties. There was a great profusion of flowers carrying out the color scheme of pink and white in the table and other decorations. The groom's gift to the bride was a sub- stantial cheque, and the very large number of beautiful presents was evidence of the popularity of 'these young people. Among the out-of- town guests were Mr. M. Goodwin and Mr. Lunmen, Kingston. The honeymoon is being spent in Roch- ester and other American cities, af- ter which they will take up resi- dence in Gananoque. Stirling Reld and mother are spending a few days in Montreal.

Napanee, Sept. 24.--The Fronte- nac Club is the latest association to be instituted in Napanee and while still in its infancy it {is decidedly a lpsty infant and much more will be heard of and from it in the fu- ture, It will prove to be a boon to the young men of the town who may become members by providing & place where they can indulge in sports, have healthy and inv'gorat- ing recreation and have their phy- sical development improved by drill and gymnastic evolutions under competent instructors. Other branches of activity which the pro- juctors of the club have in visw will prove: wonderfully attractive to young men. The club is composed of members of "B"" Company, Frontenac Regi- ment, and other returned soldiers; also of members of the militia. The honorary presidents are Col. Partridge, Kingston, and Mayor Alexander MacGregor, Napanee. The rresident is Lieut, Frank Bell; sec- retary, is Lieut. C. Milis and the treasurer is Sgt.-Major MacGiliivray.

Through the courtesy of the Mil- itia department, the club ha: been provided with quarters in the ar- mouries, rent-free. The members will have a large club-room, a read- ing room, a cloak-room and a toilet- room, the two last mentioned hav- ing hot and cold water; the whole being steam-heated . By day the rooms will be bright as they are well provided with windows and at night an ample supply of electric light will be provided. Already a good start has been made towards furnishing. It is in- tended to have the walls and ceil- ings tinted a pleasing color and have necessary painting done. Then the furnishing will be gone on with as rapidly as possible. Good pic- tures will be wanted for the walls, dlso a supply of magazines and newspapers for the reading rcom. The club hopes to acquire a small, but good useful geference library, and no doubt friends of the move- ment will help in this direction.
