Miss L.Smith, Minton; Miss Eva Bean, Heed’s; Misses E.Smith and Le Baron, North Hatley, and Miss A.Patterson, Abbott’s Corner, went to work and on Saturday the picnic was held in North Hatley Park.The day was extremely unfavorable, rain falling nearly all afternoon.A programme consisting of recitations and songs by children from the various schools had been prepared but it was found impracticable to present it.The North Hatley Band rendered excellent music to a wet but merry crowd.Everybody was surprised at the number of people present and the general opinion is that if the day had been line, the picnic would have been a record breaker.Candy, cake, fruit and ice-cream were sold on the grounds.In the afternoon an attempt was made to have a baseball match between Ayer’s Flats and North Hatley, but that was stopped by the rain at the end of the first innings, Ayer’s Flats was leading Several took in the trip to St.Lambert’s on the steamer ‘Massawippi.’ Notwithstanding the unfavorable weather, the picnic was a financial succe-s.The treasurer after paying expenses, has on hand a balance of $27.00 for the fund.It is impossible to fully thank the kind friends who by gifts of cream, maple sugar, etc., and who in many other ways helped to crown the efforts of the teachers with success.Saved His Leg.P.A.Danforth, of LaGrange, Ga., suffered for six months with a frightful running sore on his leg ;

Inspected.Mr.Howe, fire appliance inspector of the Canadian Board of Eire Underwriters, visited Sherbrooke yesterday, and in company with Chief Davidson and Mr.Tremblay, su i>erin tendent of the water works, made an official examination of the whole of the firs defence in the city.Eleven tests were made at different pointe in the city, the tests being with inch nozzles attached to the hydrants, taking the dormant and running pressure in each case.In every instance, with but one exception, splendid results were made, the only exception being at a point where there is a small main At two points larger tests were made, one being at the junction of Landsdowne and King streets, wherein three 1 i inch nozzles were attached to three se|>erate hy-1 rants,one located at No tf station, one at the Blue Block and one «t Codere, Fils A Co’s store house, St.Francis street The result was 95 pounds normal pressure and with one 1 h inch nozzle the pressure was reduced to 85 pounds, with two 1 A inch nozzles the pressure was reduced to 77 pounds.In this main there were still (55 pounds pressure left in the pines with three I i nozzles in use.The Ins pector remarked “Very powerful streams.” The other large test was made at Strathcona Square wherein the same tests w ere made, the normal pressure being 80 pounds, and one 1 A inch nozzle reduced it to 77 pounds, with two 1 h inch nozzles to 70 pounds and with three nozzles of the same size to 00 pounds There was also sixty pounds of pressure in the mains with all these streams on.The inspector expressed himself as being well satisfied with the pressure, and volume at this point.All these tests were made without the reservoir.At the corner of Monti eal and Queen streets the water tower pressure was turned on to the mains with the result that there were 52 pounds normal pres-s ire and with (lie 1 A inch nozzle running left 45 pounds.At the corner of Belvidere and King streets the normal pressure wras 70 pounds, and with 1 \ inch nozzle running 50 pounds.The normal pressure at the corner of Factory and Belvidere streets was (57 pounds and with the same nozzle runuit g (50 pounds was left.At the corner of Galt and

pressure was 105 a* d the running pressure left was 10 ) pounds.The result of test was very satisfactory and should give much satisfaction to the citizens and underw riters.Ben.Leavitt, of Tilton, N.H., was charged in the District Magistrate’s Court this morning with fraudulently converting the sum of $6.50 belonging to a Mr.Seyigny on King Street last Friday afternoon; He was convicted on

also ordered him to return the money.He paid the fine and refunded the money.The Concert given by the “Caledonians” in the Art Hall last evening was most successful.In spite of the hoa\y rain a fair

of the Women's Guild and Guild of St.Agnes of the Church of the Advent, East Sherbrooke The Fair opened Monday afternoon and from then until its close it received a fair amount of patronage in spite of the very unfavourable weather.The hall contained fair booths, which were prettily draped in orange, blue and pink, these with the decorations of the hall itself produced a pleasing effect.In the booths almost everything was on sale.One booth was devoted to clothing, another to fancy-work, another to a wide variety of articles which went rapidly at ten cents a drawing, another to ice cream, cut flowers, very choice candy, etc.A short programme of varied items was rendered free Monday evening when the Fair gaily pro-ceded.The climax of the proceedings though was reached Tuesday evening when the concert was given.Although the rain continued (o fall the hall was soon filled rapidly for the event and it was not long ere the seating was sadly taxed.The programme was most excellent and item after item drew forth the hearty appreciation of the audience.Songs were bv Mr*.Whitney, Miss Black Mr Arthur Fraser, Mr.(J< oil Bowen and Rev Mr Dunn ; vocal duets by Miss Curtis and Mr.Ther-rien and bv Masters Palmer Bradner and Harold McConnell ; a piano solo by Mi «s Clark ; recitation by Mr.Morency ; instrumental selection* by the Princess Orchestra, while Messrs.Speid and
