PURITY OF CHESTER WATER. A COMPANY'S INVESTIGATIONS. SATISFACTORY REPORTS. A half-yoajly general meeting of the Chester Waterworks Company was held on Thursday at the company's offiocs, Newgate-street. Mr. F. E. Roberts, chairman, presided, and among" those present w-ero Messrs. Wm. IL-tswel.1, H. A. Latham, Joseph Musgrave, E. S. Martyn, J. Sheriff Roberts and J. R. Thom £ on (directors), and J. S. Latham and tho secretary (Mr. W. S. Moss).In their report the directors stated that the accounts for tfafe half-ycar shewed a balance on the revenue account amounting to £2,939 16s. 3d. the interest on preference capital re- quired £ 450; and the usual statutory dividends amounted to £ 2JD77. 10s.; leaving a balance of L412. 69. 3d. The vacancies on the board, caused by the Jttifteuted deaths of Mr. F. F. I Brown and of Mr. J._Goo<idie floluies, had been filled by the election of Mr. J. R. Thomson and Mr G. S. Martvn. I THE BIRKENHEAD BILL. In proposing tne adoption of the report and statement of accounts, the Chairman referred to the Birk-cnhead Watei- Bill, and said that although the newspapers had given the public very full information as to what had been done, perhaps the shaieholdefs and outsiders would expect him to e-taie more fully what the direc- tors had done for the protection of their inter- ests and those of the city generally. The needs of Birkenhead as to water had been known for some time, and throe or four yeais ago the Bir- kenhead authorities enquired from the company whether they could undertake to give the town a supply. Eventually, as stated by counsel to the committee of the House of Commons, the pioposal had been abandoned in favour of the gravitation scheme. It was satisfactory to hear counsel's stateHj^at that tho proposal to come to Chester for .vi'ate^ was not given up on ac- count of any que;stton of the purity of the water, but largely 0:1 account of the cost of pumping, which wou?d have been involved. The big schema of taking wakr from the upper triblg ta.ries of the Dee had been &pllmg upon ti'llk, company without definite notice. They knew only what they saw in the I-iowspa-pem, and it would have saved the promoters and the com- pany a good deal of trouble and expense if an arrangement had been made previously as to the linos on which the scheme was to be car- ricd out. Tho company had no alternative but to present a petition against the Bill, and there were twenty or thirty petitions, most of which wore withdrawn by arrangement. The com- pany were bound to defend their position against possible attack, particularly on the question of the purity of their ,,Patcr and they felt bound to obtain independent opinion of the highest reputation on the natter. With t-hat object in view, the directors consulted two men of great eminence in the chemical and engineering world, Mr. Otto Heliner, consulting and analytical chemist, London, and Mr. Rofe, esi- ginear, of London. Mr. Rofe, together with the engineers of the company and some of the directors, made a very oarcful examination of the river and its aurroiinduigs at Llangollon and neighbourhood. Mr. Rofe- also carefully exam- lined tiki works and filters, and be bad expressed hiiiaseilf in very strong terms as to the complete- ness of the filtration and other arrangements and the results obtained. Mr. Hebner visited and carefully inspected the works and exam- ined tho river, and ha took samples of water in the river and from each of the filters. He was so surprised by the purity of the water that he was inclined, to think the samples had been specially prepared for him, and one of his assistants paid a surprise visit and took fresh samples. He (the chairman) need hardly say the results of the seoond tests satisfi-ed- Mr. Heliner that the samples previously taken had been perfectly bona-fide.—Mr. Roberts then laid before the meeting the ieport of Mr. I-lehnor, which appealed in our columns on June 8th. He then read the following report which had been made by Sir Rupert. Boyce:- "The results of numerous examinations shew that from a bacteriological point of view the water supplied to l hi- inhabitants of Chester by the Chester Waterworks Co. is of rr REA'r PtRíTY I The water, drawn from the rivor Dee above Chester, is purified by a process of sand-filtra- tion The purity of a water depends to a very large extent upon the number and nature of the bacteria in it. Bacteria indicating contami- nation are invariably absent from the filtered water supplied by the company, and the total number of miorobas uniformly low, as many as 99 per cent, of the total microbes are removed. A number of analyses of the. river Dee water at the intake shews tin average of 2,637 bacteria per cubic centimetre, whoras the avea-ago of the filtered water upon the same dates shewed 11 bacteria per oubic centimetre. In one case th3 number was as low as two. Thia is a re- markable result. The presence of bacillus coli in the river is an indication of sewage con- tamination, but this organism is invariably ab- sent from the filtered water in quantities of 10 cubic centimetres. The continued absence of this or any othar impurity-indicating organism in 10 cubio eentimetree of the filtered water and the low number of ordinary bacteria is a gatisr factory record. --All witters in nature contain bacteria, although some contain but few. The presence of bacteria in smali numbers other than those indicative of contamination or disease is of no import.ance from the point of view of public health. Great importance must, in tho case of public supplies especially, be attached to th? methods of purification. No paiiis must be spared to render the as efficient as pos- sible."—The company's position being thus so sfciong. continued Mr. Roberts, the directors de- cided to withdraw further opposition to the Birkenhead Water Bill, bearing in mind that as the result of their opposition, and that of others, the third reservoir had been struck out, a.nd the proportion of water to be returned to the river had been increased from one-fourth to one-third. Their opposition was withdrawn on terms which would very materially lessen the oocru of the oppos i t i on. cost of the opposition. The company had also the advantage of Mr. Fitzgeraid's statement that the negotiations with the company bad not failed on any question of the purity of water, which was admitted to be eocoollent. With referenda to the second reservoir, the promo- ters had committed themselves so largely to give water to other places that they could not and dared not, give it up, and it would ooet up- wards of £ 500,000. He and his co-directors wcie satisfied that the abstraction of the limited amount of water by the Birkenhead main was of no impoi'Uoice to the company or to Chester, and that the provision of so large an amount of compensation water, which would tend very much to equalise the flow past the works and give the company, in plaoe of unoerta.in floods, a more steady and uniform current, would fz-i- moic than make up for the small loos of water, bearing in mind aJeo that water would be im- pounded during times of flood, and not of drought. The Chester Corporation had ob- tained from the promoters what, seemed a valu- able right to ask for a supply from Birkenhead in oortain contingencies; but in the opinion of Mr. Rofe and the oompany's own engineers, based upon statistics on which they had ewary reason to rely, water obtained from Birkenhead would coat the consumers of Qhecytar at least twice what they now paid, while tine right to ask the water from Birkenhead could not arise until the company failed to fulfil their statu- tory obligations or the Corporation bougbt up I the undertaking and constituted themselves the water authority. The company filled all their statutory obligations and far more; and the shareholders might safely dismiss from their calculations all thoughts of the happening of those events, while the ratepayers might de- voutly hope to be spared the infliction it would entail. With regard to the cost, the Birken- head Act enabled the audiorities to, raise the oharg.e from JB6. 10s. to E12. 10s. for the water supply. The oompany had aJ&o obtained in con- sultation with the Birlwnhc-ad officials in the committee-room, assurances which they con- sidered of great value to them. The directors were satisfied that their opposition had been of great value, although it had necessarily been very expensive. They had obtained material concessions, pecuniary and otherwise. Mr. H. A. Latham seconded, and remarked that the directors were not starving the con- cern in order to gain the good opinion of their consumer, and of their shareholders. During the half-year the directors had had a goad deal of work and anxiety, but the result had been quite satisfactory. It had brought before the public and the shareholders that a highly effi- cient art-iote was supplied to thein. He trusted the croakers would now ooaoo to croak, and that they might now know that they were having a good water at a veiy reasonable cost. The leport and statement of accounts were then adopted. On the motion of Mr. Wm. Haswell, seconded by Mr. J. Sheriff Roberts, the following divi- dends, be-so income tax, were declaied for the half-year: 7j per cent. on the consolidated stock; 6 per cent, on the perpetual 6 per cent, preference shares; 7 per cent on the now or- dinary stock, 1874. Mr. J R. Thomson rose to mention a matter which he felt they would aU approve. He said the chairman, Mr. H. A. Latham and Mr. Sheriff Roberts had devoted a large amount of time to the oonsideration of the Water Bill. Mr. Latham and Mir Roberts considered that the very great help they had given came under the head of the ordinary duties of directors; but the chairman dlevotifd a.n exceptional mea- sure of time, ability andi consideration to watch- ing over the interests of sha-reholdrrs and citi- zens of Chester generally. They would there- fore agree that it would not be reasonable for Mr. Roberts to receive no honorarium in ac- knowledgment of his services, which had saved the company oonsiderable expense in legal mat- tere. It was mainly owing to the persistent and tactful manner in which the chairman had dealt with the matter that. the directors had been able to withdraw their opposition to the Bill. Mr. Thomson, in conclusion, suggested an honorarium of £100. On the motion of Mr. J. S. Latham, seconded by Mr. Musgrave, the meeting then voted 2100 to Mr. Roberts In acknowledging the kindness of the meeting, the Chairman said he did take credit for having manage d to sfaer matters so that the result was satisfactory. They wotc amply protected by the Birkenhead Bill as it had passed. The company had obtained a very great advantage in ensur- ing a constant flow down the Dee of water, im- pounded in the upper reaches for their benefit. Mr. J. S. Latham proposed a vote of thanks ■ to the directors, but as h? was the only share- holder present who was not a director, he had to second and cany it himself.—The Chairman, in reply, paid a tribute to the skilful assistance which had been rendered to tiie directors by the secretary, the engineer and other officials of the company.

VOLUNTEER CAMPS. ——— CHESTER ARTILLERY AT KNOTT END. I (By Our Own Reporter.) On Saturday the main body of the 1st Cheshire Royal Garrison Artillery (Vole.) under the command of Colonel Bonnalie, left Chester to join the specialists at Knott End, Fleetwood. The men were headed by the regimental band, and matched direct to the station, where they were joined by the 2nd Sandycroft Battery. The whole then left in a special train. Knott End, Monday. The main body had an excellent journey from Cheater to Fleetwood, and were in camp at 7 p.m. They found everything in readiness for their arrival, and were quickly settled down in their tents. It was theJl found that there were 320 men in camp, under the command of the following officem:-Col. Bonnalie (colonel commandant), Major Wood, Major Fountain (late R.A.), Dr. Edmunds (Chester). Capt. Taylor, Captain Dickson, Lieut.-Williams-Ellis, Lieut. Fitzpatrick and Lieut. Frost, with the adjutant (Capt. Lambarde) and the quartermaster (Capt. WhitJey). Sunday was spent very quietly. Reveille sounded as usual, and the muster parade was at 6.30. This over, the men spent the remainder of the time before breakfast in cleaning their tents and equipment and carrying out the usual camp duties. Breakfast over, a short church parade took place, the officiating clergyman being the Rev. Mr. Pearson, vicar of Preesall. This was the la6t parade of the day but there was a close kit inspection by the commanding officer. After dinner the men were free, and many availed themselves of trips to Barrow and Blackpool, while others visited the neighbour- ing places of interest. During the day the 4th West Yorkshire Artillery, from Sheffield, headed by Trueir splendid band, marched Info camp, and, being a very strong corps numerically, they pre- sented a fine spectacle. During the day there were n-tany visitors, excursionists from Fleet- wood, Barrow. Blackpool, etc., inspecting the camp. AT WORK. Bank Holiday was no idle, pleasure-seeking day for the Volunteers encamped at Knott End. Usually it is the first and hardest day for the main body, and it was so on Monday. The camp was astir as early as 5.30 a.m., and an hour later the brigade paraded for the muster roll to be called. Immediately afterwards each battery was marched on to the extensive, flat stretch of beach, and were exercised for over an hour in marching drill. This ie most healthy and necessary work, and is carried out under the pleaeantest conditions. From the improvised drill ground the sand reached away into the bay, the sea, when the tide is out, being dimly seen and faintly heard in the distance. Then far ahead Barrow is to be distinguished, and the pretty picture is completed by the back- ground of hills lining the bay, and seeming to rise out of the water. After breakfast each mwery unoerw^t of atin drill under the command of their resf>eet!v<> officer,?, mis took place in an adjoining field, where the three j batteries of guns are parked behind the beach wall, all the firing being indirect and taking place with the aid of o b servation parties. After dinner the most important event and the principal competition of the year took place, The first was the inspection by the C.R.A. and the second waR the competitive practice. The inspecting officers were Colonel Lardner Clarke, the colonel commanding the Militia and Volun- teer Artillery of the Western Command; Capt. Ridout, gunnery instructor of the Mersey Defences: and Lieut. Damarell, adjutant of the M. and V.A., Western Command. The in- spection and the competition took place simul- taneously. Each battery was marched on to a battery of the 4.7 inch guns and was ordered to fire rounds of shell ammunition at a num- ber of targets, which were placed on the edge of the receding tide by the fatigue party, the range, at a guess, being about a mile and a half. The firing was from behind cover, and the shell used was percussion-shrapnel and time- shrapnel, quite a large number of rounds being fired in all. The second battery fired first, the first second, and the third battery third. Though this was the first day's firing by the brigade, the drill and aim were excellent, and reflected the greatest credit on the corps and its instructors. So good indeed was some of the work that it drew forth words of commendation from the inspecting officers. The firing attracted numerous visitors from the neighbour- hood. Great enthusiasm was thrown into the work by the men, as the keenest friendly rivalry exists between the respective batteries in the competitive practice, as the winners not only hold a handsome challenge cup and win a sub- stantial amount of prize money, but the oiffcers, non-commissioned ofifcers and men of the winning batie-y wear cross-hammers on their arms as the d stinguishing mark of the best battery for the year. The Gamp, Thursday. The work on Tuesday was of a very ordinary ch&Ta?oter. After the usual morning duties the men paraded at 6 30 a.m. for the musteir roll 1 call, but immediafuly afterwards they had to retire to their ten?a, as rain fell continuously for some time. From breakfast until near din ner time, the rain having ceased and the sun commenced to shine, each battery was exorcised in gun drill, under battlery commanders. The inspection by the C.R.A. was continued, the range-takers, signallers and other specialists be- ing closely examined in their particular work. Just before dinner time there was a kit inspec- tion by the C.R.A who f4otind all the tents and the kits very clean. Afterwards Col. Bonnalio adjudicated in the competition for the cleanest tents of the 1st Battery. The contest was par- ticularly keen, and the umpire, had great diffi- culty iu arriving at his decision. He awtarded the firafc prize to the tent. in charge of Bombar- dier Waring, the second award being won by the tent in charge of Oorpl. Watkin. During tho afternoon the baifcfcariee underwent a course of gun drill and firing with aiming tube ammuni- tion. This concluded the work of the brigade-, and with the exception of those derailed for duty the nesnainder availed themselves of a delightful evening to visit the neighbouring places of interest and amusement. [ FIRE DISCIPLINE COMPETITION. Wednesday was particularly breezy, a strong wind blowing inshore from early morning- until night. After the muster parade the brigade w;w exercised in foot drill, the different batteries being under the command of their JVf.p.x-tivt- non-commissioned officers. Tho wind, however, was too strong to permit of very beneficial wOrk. During the morning there was gUll drill, and in the afternoon the second principal competi- tion of the year took place, viz., the fine dis- cipl ine competition. Each battery had to un- dergo a courso of gun practice under their bat- tery commanders, firing at targets placed 011 the sand s with No. 1 aiming tube ammunition, each battery firing about sixty rounds The drill was excellent, and the shooting splendid, and the high standard of efficiency established on Monday was more than maintained. The pre- mier honouis were again won by the 1st Heavy Battery for the third year in succession. Two years ago this battery, then under the command of Captain, now Colonel, Bonnalie, captured ali the battery prizes in the camp, while last year they secured all but the competitive practice priz The details of the fire discipline compe- tit-ion were published on Thursday as follows: 1, 1st Heavy Battery 2, 2nd Heavy Battery 3, 3rd Heavy Battery. Wednesday evening was very stormy. A strong breeze blew inland, and there was a deluge of rain all night and early morning, the camp being thoroughly soaked. Indeed, it was the heaviest downfa'l experienced since the oorps have been encamping at Fleetwood. For- tunately them was no damage. I GENERAL'S VISIT. n I Thursday was a very pleasant day after the storm of the early morn. During the morning the competition squads were put through a course of marching drill. Each battery did gun drill until dinner time, changing fiorn one balt- tery of guns to the other. During the after- noon General Burnett visited the camp. The 1st Heavv Battery afterwards fired a. series of rounds of shrapnel shell, under the eye of the General. The shooting was splendid, and the General expressed himself highly pleased with it. Tho drill also was of a high standard. The targets were placed out on the sands at a raaige of just over two miles. The firing was fiom be- hind cover. and the lines of fire were ob- tained by the observation party The target was immediately found, the second shot being very accurate. After four shots with percussion shrapnel tho twelve shots of time shrapnel were fired, and all found their billet. Undoubtedly the firing was the best ever done by the bat- tery. The 2ad and 3rd! Batter ies al so fired a similar number of rounds, their firing also be- ing exoellent. Yesterday (Friday) General Sir N. Lyttelton inspected the camp. The result of the competi- tive practice was announced in Thursday's or- ders as follows: 1, 1st Heavy Battery; 2, 2nd Heavy Battery; 3, 3rd Heavy Battery. 2ND V.B.R.W.F. I I NOTES FROM SCARBOROUGH. I I (From a Correspondent.) I On Sunday morning the 2nd V.B. Roya) I Welch Fusiliers left Fiintshhe for their aiouyall training at Scarborough, wh,,i-c they joined the Welsh Border Volunteer Infantry Brigade camp They arrived a.t 2.30 p.m. ori Sunday, aftei- a seven hours' journey. The camp is beautifully situated 2 £ miles from the town on wliat is known as the old racecourse. It is a fine healthy place adjoining Lord Londesboiough's moors. an ideal camping ground. Beautiful weather has boon experienced so far, there being only a few slight showers. The battalion turned out for church parade two hours after arriving in camp, the service being conducited by the chap- lain, the Rev. LI. Nicholas, of Flint. The battalion is well represented in camp as re- garde numbers. The commanding officer is Lieut.-Col. C. E. Willes. The Walsh Border Brigade in o&mp is composed as followf!: -ht and 2nd Vol. Batts. Royal Welch Fusiliers, 1st and 2nd Vol. Batts. Shropshirce (including the Whitchurch Co.), and 1st. Vol. Batt. Herefordo. The work is going on very well, the battalions drilling five hours daily. The first parade is from 6.30 to 8 o'clock, and the second from 10 to 1.30. The duty is heavy, but all work with a will. The remainder of the day can be spent as desired. A good feature of the camp is the V.M.O.A. There ave two v Jarge tents, one being fitted with writing tabtes, and writing materials are provided free. Picture postcards, stamps, etc., can be purchased at. the counter. The other tent is equipped ae a s recreation tent, piano playing and games of all descriptions being enjoyed. It is really a boOln to men in camp to be able to sit down comfortr ably to do their letter writing, etc. The woi k undertaken by the brigade, so far is chiefly fteld work, the atitaok, skirmishing, etc. The early parade is a preparatory one for the later par- ade. The troops am working exceedingly well, and have so far earned tho high comnlelndation of their officers. They turn out smaiiiy and promptly, and march very steadily. I BUCKLEY ENGINEERS. I AT FORT BRJDGEWOOD, CHATHAM. I (Fiona a Special Correspondent.) On Sunday morning, at 9 alni., t,h-e 1st Flint- shire (Buckley) Royal Engimaens (Vols.) par- aded at their headquarters. Mill-lane, Buckley, for the purpose of proceeding to camp at the Fo; t Bridgewood, Chatham, for their annual course of instruction in military engineering. They piompbly "fell in," a.ud were "told  Headed by their Siic band of ?? performers, they pioocedrd to faoeswouu Station and entrained for their d:i-/tinatior.. un- der the command of Major R. Cecil Davies, of Chester. The corps were preceded by an ad- vance party of an officer (Lieut D. Fraseir in command) and seven men. consisting of one corporal and six sappers, to lequisition stores for the corps' use, erect tsnts, and so prepare for the requinements during the week's train- ing. It was noticeable that the men were of I fine physique, smart, clean auid soldierlike, but not in as great numbers as in previous years. There, was a large concourse of people, to give them a hearty "send off." At Chesteir they were joined by the 1st Cheshire R. E. Volun- teers, of Birkenhead, to whom they are at- taolied for military purposes under the same adjutant, Lieut. C. H. Kruger, the colonel of the battalion being Co lonel Charles Brown- ridge. After a few minutes' delay both trains were coupled, and consisted of 20 carriages The huge train steamed away on its long jour- ney, the men arriving in camp at Fort Bridge- wood, Chatham, about 6.30 p.m. Beds and blankets were issued at once with order and dispatch. Afterwards the whole battalion dined at 8 p.m. On Monday reveille was sounded at 5.30 a m. breakfast was at 8 o'clock and battalion drill at 10 a m. At 12.30 dinner was seived, and a half-holiday followed. The orders for the week were siege operations of an advancing army on Fort Bridgewood from Luton. about two miles apart, to conclude with BJI all-night attack, in which som e thousands of troops will take part, consisting of the Royal Engineers, Royal Garri- son Artillery, Infantry, balloon sections, obser- vation kites with camera attachments. This siege will be a magnificent display of arms, and operations, regardless of cost, and will be of eduoative importance. On Tuesday began the hard work in prepar- ation as follows. Our battalion were divided for the day's work in right and Jerft half-bat- talions, the former under the command of Major R. L. Hutchinson, the latter under Major R. Cecil Davies, Major Hutchinson' section assist- ing the attacking force, and Major Davies's the defence. The detail woilc for each half-battalion was aa follows:—D Comoany, with nine joiners _I.n y w ith n i ne j' oinerf, and the band of the 1st Cheshires took picks and shovels and proceeded to work a.t Fort Luton. Their task was to excavate and make bombproof works. A, B and C Companies to out brush- wood and make 200 hurdles of 6ft. to 7ft. long for overhead cover to the tnench. Right half battalion. E and F Companies. 1st Flints. Com- pany, and drum and fife band, to cxeava-te a Russian trench to the west of Fort Bridgewood. This is a communication trench, and to give an idea of the men's taak for one day, the quan- tity of solid earth excavated was about 112ft. per man. The trench at the top is 4ft. wide, and at the bot.tom 3ft. wide, and it is 6ft.. deep. The length of task along the line is 5ft. per man. The 1st. Flints. Battalion seem well adapted for this work, being chiefly miners, and strong constitutionally. On Wednesday the Toutino was 9 inúlar, MId work of the previous day r"3oiw-d nniahing touches before tea. In tho defcqiding lines is one of th- 0.2 guns that were taken in the Boer war fiom us after firing only one shot, It is much admired. The 1st I Flints, to-night aro mann ing the fort on the iJ1'I side, and are under Major Davies's oomaland- They will have a unique experience in being able to witness almost the whole of the attack- ing force's operations. The forte all around here are almost unobserved by the naked eye until you are cloee upon them. SearcWigWS will be largely used to assist in both attack d '-fence.

CHESTER FRIENDLY SOCIETIES. CRITICAL 'DELEGATES' REPUDIATED. A special meeting of representatives was held at the Town Hal! on Wednesday evening last, Mr. G. Caldwell, M.U.I.O.O.F., presiding- Among those present were representatives of the various Orders. The Seorelary (Mr. C. Wright) explained that there had been correspondence in the local papers purporting to have been written by meJr- bers of the committee, the signature und sr thO letters being "Delegates." As the statements made were inaccurate and oast a grave reflection on a "section" of the committee, he bad felt ib his duty to summon a special meeting to con- sider the matter. He (the secretary) had oujw moned all those representatives who had a.ny thing directly to do with the recent demonstra- tion As far as he knew, there had been nO questionable "tactics," much Less "reprohm- sible" tactics, and he believed everything had beoeon done in the best interests of the public and everyone concerned. The Chairman read the letters referred t"H and not.ed that the letter in the "Obtgerver" lafft woek was even mope strongly worded than the one published a week previously in t.6ø "Chronicle." Mr. Caldwell regretted that any one siiould have leeorted to such unwarrantable means of dcallti. with some fancied personal grievance, and ihought that as the statements* made were so obviously at Variance with tho truth, a reply ought to be sent to the papers. Some discussion followed, during which tho tactics of the writers were condemned as not only unbrotherly, but as absolutely urtwarrant- able because leprehensibly wrong and injurious to the movement. It was pointed out in 10 first place that the ballot had only been reported to onoe in oonnection with the order of prece- d-eaice m the procession, secondly that with re- ference to the nomination of life governor of the Infirmeurv the committee had worked liaxd to make up the twenty guineas, and at the meeting Mr. W. Coventry, who is not a Fores- ter, but. district secretary of the Grand United Order of Oddfellows, was nominated by a, member of the Manchester Unity I.O.O.F. After two amendments were disposed of, Mr- Coventry's nomiria-tion was carried without a dissenting voiae, the chairman voting only onoe- A member stated that it was only right that the public should know the real facts, and that nothing should be done likely to militate against another successful demongtratiun--a de- monstration and service which, he ventured to think, did muoh good to the cause, and indi- rectly to the community as a whole. Mr. J. Sellers moved, and. Mr. D. Williams seconded, tha.t a letter be written arid signed by the chairman of the meeting and the secretary, and sent to the local Press. '.r.his was carried unanimously. Before gewamng, a vote of sympathy with Mr. R. C. Honswill in his domestic trouble was unanimously passed. A hearty vote of thanks was accorded the secretary and the chairman-
