The past season was active and prosperous and one of the outstand- ing events of the Autumn was the reception and luncheon given on October 8 at the City Club in honor of the Canadian representative in the nternational Oratorical Contest, Her- bert Moran, and the British spokes- man, William Meades Newton. Be- sides this rousing welcome the so- clety members had seats in blocks for the contest so that by their presence they inspired courage in thelr can- didate and gave him the utmost support. The Canadians made the welkin ring in the auditorium on Octoher 15 and the emblem of the Dominion worn by every member of the society and brilliant on ensigns and small flags, made a brilliant blotch of color in the big building. Some small gatliering will mark the declining year, but not until after the annual meeting will any of the major events be announced. The British Ambassador, now vice dean of the corps, is to be invited to be guest of honor at the April banquet. / London Las only 6,000 patrons for plays which the “intellectuals” stamp ‘with their approval.
