A TRIBUTE TO HASTINGS
To njark tho turn of the yea? and the celebration of the oe.casion by the Hastings and District Progress League and Hastings Citizens' Band by the liolding of a" earnival in Nelson Park, a subscriber submits the following verse: — "PROGRESSIVE HASTINGS." Pcrsbnification of beauty, Resplendent as any sweet bride, Ornately endowed by the Maker, God little to thee has denied; Rejoicing in beautiful parklands, Excelling the best in tlie land, Supremo in aboreal beauty, Sweet flowers on every jiand. Increasing each year i^i importance, Vast acres of fertile ten'ain, Encireling tliy garden-like borough, Hail Hastings tliou Queen of the Plain; Assured is thy glorious future, Surrounded by wealth as thou be, Thy numerous beautiful buildings, Indeefl a great credit to thee. Neath sunny blue Heavens reclining, Great progress must ever be thine, Sclect-mmded people will make tboe their liome, May guiding stars over thee shine. — F. C. Chapman. t
