TT-tv wanted live, torceiul legislation to deal with it, as, r.o matter u uac had bfen done so far,, it be',bed up like a jt.ck-in-the-box; and iiill worked harir. Y#l'at they wanted was to' get :t out cf the country, lock, stock, and barrel. Now Zealand was an excellent subject for prohibition. It was an isolated island, and tho ships could bo guarded so that no drink reached tho shores. If (said tho speaker) men and women had any patriotism, any love for what was highest and best for tho race, they would not hesitato in voting for prohibition. Rinking. Tho last rinking gathering of tho season was spent on Tuesday evening at the Kilbirnio Skating Rink, by the club which has spent so many, pleasant eveniligs and afternoons there.

Jlr. London expressed regret that the Rev. Mr. Evans, acting on tlio advice of his medical attendant, was unable to be present, and also spoko of tlio deep obligation they were antler to Mrs. Wittord tor calling this meeting. There was still much that was needed for the hospital, and they hesitated to go to tlio Government or any. of tho municipal bodies for assistance. He moved that all those present at tho meeting, form themselves into a committee, with power to add to their numbers, anil make all the necessary arrangements for the organising of an effectual collecting campaign for tho benefit of the hospital. After sonic discusiion, this proposal was carried. Offers of assistance had been 'received from the Garrison Band, from St. Anne's Drum and Fife Band, and it was probable that other city bauds would join in providing musical attractions for Hospital Sunday. Several of tho ministers had also promised to lend their aid. It was further dccided at the meeting that instead of holding Hospital Saturday and Sunday on October 7 and 8 as already proposed, they should be postponed to the following wcel;—October 11 and 15 (Saturday and Sunday)—as there were so many counter attractions taking place upon the former dates. A vote of thanks to Mrs. Wilford. for the interest; she . had taken in matters and to Mr. Wilford for the use of the room, was passed at tho conclusion of the meeting.
