FRIENDLY SOCIETIES.

The 1.0.0. F., ALU., and the A.O.F. met last niglit in a friendly card tournament. At crib both sides won twelve games, but at euchre tjie Foresters got fifteen games to their opponents’ eleven. This was a return game, the Oddfellows having won on the previous occasion by five games. It is likely that a game for tho rubber will be arranged. Air. C. H. Amhridgo on. behalf of the Oddfellows thanked the Foresters for tlicir presence. Air. File, secretary of the Foresters, replied. They hail, he said, enjoyed the evening; and lie would use his best endeavours to get another game played, as the Foresters were the original challengers. Refreshments were partaken of, and the gathering broke up with the singing of “For He’s a Jolly Good Fellow.”

A presentation was made at the meeting of the 1.0.0. F., AI.U.. last night to Bro. D. Thompson, P.G., by the secretary, Bro. Ambridge. The presentation consisted of a P.G. framed emblem. Bro.
