Therefore we'll say In passing, that while the League was exciting, there was little Maritime calibre hockey shown-

Crysials play Amherst tonight in Amherst in the first round oi a home and home goal tilt. I do not think the island hockey populace will rise up if I state that the Island champs will have their. hands full tonight, holding the Ramblers. It is hoped they, the Crystals, will come out right side up, but it will be a sweet and wholesome series.

Abegweite Are Royally Welcomed

Upwards of five hundred ardent hoclrcyists and supporters were... on hand at the depot last evening to welcome the Abegweite on their ar- rival from Moncton where they lost to the Crysialsrin a sudden death lame for the Island hockey title. Cheers and more cheers were given the fighting men of Gillispie when they stepped from the train. So en- thuslastic and dcmonstratve were the crowd that one would almost think the teem had been victorious- e visible slgn that each and every fan knew they had fought the good light and went down like true sporte- men.

The boys were driven to the Revere liriel where a sumptuous banquet table awaited them. Among those Present were acting Mayor Samuel F. Kennedy. W. A. Smith, I‘- ldent Ab- rswelt Club, Ex-Mayor DoctorIraJ. Yeo and press leprcsenfutlves. Many loceches were made, all paying high tributes to the valor of the Abegwcifo 50th past and present.

Ovcr 150 curlers met under tho pl ideucy of Lord Egiraion and it is said that the dinner in the town hall was laid out in unusual splendor.

Looking over the present standing, it appea- as though the Boston Bruins and Chicago Black Hawks in the ' J Section, and the Mou- treel Cansdlens and Toronto Maple Leafs are "in."

..'1‘he postponed meeting-cf the or- ganising committee of the Benevol- ent Irish Society of Charlottetown which was to be held last Friday night took place on Monday evening, Febfirary sixteenth, at the home of Mr. and. Mrs. Maurice White of Rocky Point. Although the weather ecu‘- ditions not being very favorable oi late for travelling, the daring attempt was made on the above date and needless to say the large number of teams leaving the city and loaded to their capacity surely was a forerun- ner of what was to take place. On our arrival we were met by a large and influential crowd ofipeople from the various districts of Cumberland-Nine Mile Creek, New Dominion and Rocky ‘Point. The delegation of the B. 1. s. of Charlottetown, consisted of the chief organizer, J. H. McKenno, who covered the grmrnd a short time sgc, also the executive, consisting of vice president John O'Neill, who in the imbscnce of the President, Brother Coyie, who through the stress of bus- iness wes unalble to attend. ebly and eloquently called the meeting to or- der at 9 p. m. explaining to the can- didates present the object of the meet ing and why it was essential for all

to this grand old society which today is the oldest and one of the largest in Prince Edward Island. Secretary P. B. McTague whose standing in the socety has been of long duration paid a high tribute to the fine mp- pearance and gentlemaniy spirit of those men, who travelled miles over

Edward Ready, formed the candid- ates in line to receive the obligation which was administered by the vice president to all fifteen candidates. After being welcomed as a broth- er, some fine speeches were made by the new members. Brother Joseph Doyle ably stressed the importance o2 being o ‘member of their society. It, is the intention oi the executive to return at a later date when trav- elling conditions will be more favor- able. The remainder of the evening was spent in cards and dancing with a slight interval of musical enter- tainment. . Next on the program Mire. White, in her cheery manner invited the immense crowd to the dining room where all enjoyed s. sumptuous re- past served up in their charming hostess’ best style. She was assisted by a number of young ladies of the districts, her daughter and her so- clal husband With three cheers for the host and hostess and the new candidates, for the people of the dis- trict adjoining, that helped to make the evening the social success it was, we bid farewell to our new found friends.
