The Masonic Hall was well filled on Fi'itliiy ri'ening when llll entei'tuin- ment was given in connection with the High School. Severn] choruses by the Mendelssohn ClltH'lStOl'S and college songs by the, High school students, under the supervision of Mr. J. ll.S:iii- derson. were well rendered, and the scene by a number of stiideiflsflllobin Hood and His Merry Men " was quite, exciting. the characters being: well tiiken.

One of the prominent features (if the program was :1. lecture delivered by Prof. Mackenzie. of Tiiuijy Univer- sity, on “ The Boer in South Africa.” The lecture was interesting. and from it historical st-Lndpoiiit was instructive iis it treated of The Tl'llllSVll‘rll lllld other portions of South Africa for the past 400 years. It was. probably, not, however, just what the audience ex- pected as the lecturer said very little about the present war, or the iiiiiiiedi- :Ite causes of the trouble in that coun- try. The lecturer pointed out. that. much that had been written on the question under consideration is not re- liable, but. stated that it history by Geo) go Thezil, a Canadian, from which he received much reliable iiifoi-iiiatioii, could be depended upon. The lectur- er held the attention 'of his audience for nearly an hour and .1 half, and from his remarks we (lot down a sen- tence here and there as follows :â€"â€" “ A Portuguese SllllOl' iii 1486, sailed round the Cape, but (lid little explor- iiig. Eleven years later Vasco De Gilmll doubled the Cape and opened the way to India. The trade, which by this was now opened up, provvd lucrative, and in the year 1501 the first English flag was seen in Table Bay. The Dutch. also, about this tune found their way to the East Indies. The Dutch East India Co. was founded in 1602 and carried on an enormous trade but no Settlement was made. on the African slim-e. For llllllly yeiii-s very little was thought of the country, but in 1&8 a Dutch ship was wrecked near where Cape Town now stands, and the survivors who spent about :1 your on the peninsula made such a. favorable report of the place that the Company decided to build :1 station there which vould serve to supply the ships going to and from Butavizi. The settlement grew slowly but surely, though the Hottentot tribes give the people much trouble. Shortly after this time an event took place in Europe which en- abled them to secure some 100 families of the very best. stump. The linge- nuts had been expelled from France,so that the Cape received what. France lost. The language was Dutehdiut only in the pulpit was it correctly spoken. A British force made :1 descent upon the Cape in 17515, and took possession of Cape, Town. The Dutch and the British, although having much in common, regarded the failings of the other as serious. The Englishman despised the lying and cheating of the Dutch, while the latter hated the ar- rogant boastfulness of the former. In spite of these differences. however, the two races soon began to interâ€" marry, and the Boers showed consid- erable appreciation for the blessings of honesty. The English administration lasted only eight years. during which time. the weaknesses of the subsequent English control were foreshadowed. The English brought with themthe agents of the London Missionary So- ciety, who seemed to take more inter- est in politics than in elevating the heathen; and as they advocated political equality between the whites and the blacks they were soon at flied with the Dutch fariiieI-s. The Boers imagined that the Iiiis~ 1 siouiiries were against them from the start. Peace, terms between Great Britain. France and the Netherlands were signed in 113112 when the Ciipe was surrendered to its former owners. This pleasrd the liners but \\'lll' sooii broke out again, the British gaining a victory. The Dutch capituliited in 1806, and the iille of, the Netherlands ceased in South Africa.

The English met with reverses ending in the disastrous buttle on Mnjiibn Hill. It mm the. old story of British arroâ€" gance ii.le unpreparedness. The Brit ish garrison, however, at Pretoria were holding" out. i-eiiiforceuiciits Were arriving at l)lll‘l):lll. and Lord Roberts was sent out to take (-oimiiiind. Ev- crytliiiig pointed to a speedy restora- tion of British prestige. when to the iiiiiazeiiient of the world the h-itish down. The war certainly would have been :L costly one, but it should have. been ended then instead of now. Once the Brit- ish gal'l'iSUlH were withdrawn from the Transvaal the. country came under the control of Kruger and there it has remained ever since. The richness of the country attracted British capital, and an alien population built up the President’s power. The revenue de- rived from tho Uitl-ruiders has filled his pockets, lilltl helped him to engage the ablest l'liu'opeaii soldiers. In 1881 Kruger promised rights and protection to foreiin settlers, but he has not kept his promise. Thousands of Englishmen went to develop the re- soiircI-s of the Transvaal and millions of rlolluis weic invested there. Mr. Kruger llllS never nllowed these men a vote, and every franchise law has been framed to the exclusion of the l'itliiiiIle-i's.

The occasion was an oyster supper givvii by the leaders of the choir to all the members of the choir, :ipd it is needless to say the kindness was :ippi'eeinted. l\[r.(’,“irver kindly drove the choir across, and Internconsiderably Interâ€"snw them snl'ely home again.

Added Strength. An important change, and one of special interest to the magazine pub- lishing fraternity. is the resignation last week of Captain Hem-y Drisler from Hziiper and Brothers, 'Ivhere he has held positions of trust and respon- sibility for nearly a. quarter century. the last ten years having been adver- tising mnuager of all {he Harper periodicals. Captain Drislcr‘s wide circle of f1 lends in the publishingr trade will be pleased to know that he has purchased a substantial interest in Frank Leslie’s Popular Monthly and the other prop- erties of Frank Leslie Publishing House. He has been elected a Direct- or and Treasurer of the Leslie House, and will, in conjunction with Mr. Frederick L. Uolver, the. President,‘ manage. the .coiiipiiny's affairs. A continuance of the remarknelc pro- gress of Frank Leslie‘s Popular month- ly as a ten cent magazine is assured by this new connection, and Captain Di-isler‘s added experience bids fair to further the line of advancement.
