I A NIMV PAPER FOR HAMILTON. , The Morning Post. will be the name i of a new daily paper to be published l lll Hamilton early in June. Hamilton I . has not had a morning paper since the l Spectator Company discontinued their 5 morning edition some years ago. The citiZeus of Hamilton will hail the adâ€" vent of the Morning Post with joy asl they realize that it will cover a much larger lield than it is possible for the. evening papers to reach. The new paper will be independent in politics, and will make ii strong feature of tel- egraphic news in order to take the. place. in many localities, of the To- ronto morning papers. \Ve wish the Morning Post every success. HIGH SCHOOL PICNIC. A merry company of students and ex~pupils in three large Vans left the Hiin School Saturday morning at half past ten for “'ilcox Lake. The arrangements made by the committee in charge were well nigh pet-fret, so the whole day was one of unalloyed pleasure. There was no time all day long that the boats were, not filled with happy boys and girls. At dinner, Mr. John Hadwen, on behalf of the Football Club, read an address to Mr. I“. J. Johnston, the retiring member of the staff, and presented to him a. handsome umbrella. Mr. Johnston made a suitable reply, thank- ing those coucei iied, aiid wishing suc- cess to the school. A fter a hearty supper and one more ride in the boats, a tired but thoroughly happy crowd left the grounds for Richmond Hill. The thanks of the committees are tendered to the ladies who acted as pati'onesses and to whom much of the success of the picnic was due. The committees were as follows: Supplies, the Misses Lynett, Gobu, Naughton, and Stewart: Finance, Messrs. Lane. Deri-v and Kirby : Boats and Grounds, Mess s. Hadwmi, Alex. McNaughton, Kers ‘ill and Scott. If there was no bitch in the program or .uupleasantin- cident during the day, it was because the committees uusellislily devoted their whole energy to securing a good time for ail. \VORDS 0F PRAISE. The. Toronto dailies of Tuesday gave a most favorable criticism of a vocal recital given the pi evious evening. As one of the young ladies referred to is a citizen of this place, and another is well known here, we copy the first part of the notice as it appeared in the Globe, which is as follows :â€"“ A vocal recital of much merit was given in the Conservatory Music Hall last evening by Miss FraiiCes H. Crosby..\liss Ethel Switzcr and Miss Mabel Chew, three advanced pupils of Mrs. Reynolds- Reburu. These. young ladies are pos- sessed with good voices, which they used artistically and with good intona- tion throughout the entire program. Miss Crosby’s solo numbers were Robaudi’s ‘ Bright Star of Love.” with violin obligato by Miss Louie Fulton ; Weber‘s ‘ Softly Sighs ’ (from Der Frcischutz): and Outter’s ‘Just as I Am,’ with organ accompaniment by Miss Youmaus. Miss Crosby is a young singer of promise, having a voice of good range and quality. Miss Switzer’s numbers included Granier’s ‘ Hosanna,’ with organ accompani- ment; by Miss E. L. Youinans, and Beniberg’s ‘The Death of Joan of Arc,” which were effectively rendered. Miss Chew sang Clay’s ‘ She \V'audeied Down,’ and Maulder’s ‘The Staccato Polka,’ and, in addition to these, each young lady sang groups of small num- bers, which were very enjoyable.” EMPIRE DAY. W'ith commendable loyalty and unity the teachers of the Public School, assisted by Mr. J. H. Sanderson, carried to a successful completion a very appropriate program of addresses, recitatious and choruses, on “'edues- day, Empire Day. The new flag, pur- chased by the Board of Education. was raised on the new flagâ€"staff on the 1 Public School building at 1.30 p. 111., i when several members of the. Board and other citizens were present. After a couple of choruses and a recitation on the lawn, the pupils formed in pio- ccssion and marched in good order to the Masonic Hall, where the program was continued. Mr. J.N.Boyle, chair» man of the Board, presided. Short. but dithy. patriotic addresses, all of which had the right ring about them, Were deli\ ered by Revs. Messrs. Large, Grant, and \"cllwood, and Messrs. Switzer and Naughton. Several of ‘ the pupils also recited, good select ions, and the choruses \vere lively. At the close a resolution moved and seconded ! respectively by Mr. Naughtou and 1 iev. Mr. Grant was unanimously ‘7 carried thanking the teachers and Mr. l l I Sanderson for the attractive program ; _ presented. and also Mr. Boyle for hav- , ing presided so acceptably. The ob- f ject of holding Empire Day is a good I one. It is not necessary to he coutiu- l ually instilling into the midst of child- be inspired with loyalty to Great Brit- 3 ain and pride in the Union Jack. The resolution above referred to carried with it a holiday for the school on . Friday of this week. lIis Lordship. the Bishop of Toronto, will hold {‘onlirniation in St. Mary's Church (of England) on Thursday, the 31st of May, at S o‘clock lll ill(‘ (‘Vt‘ll' ' iug.
