'l’he House Opened to the public at
11.30 o'c1ock. Mr. COX presented the petition of ei A J McIntyre, John McCart
R '. . . y and others asking for 5, telephone line
from Morell Station to Morell Rear, ii distance of 'll miles, asking for the iisiinl Government grant. 'PHE PREMIER presented returns called for by _Mr. Prowse. Hon. llicssrs. Cummiskey and Richards also replied to sundry inquiries. pr, WARBURTON moved the House into committee on the bill to amend the Telephone Company Incorpora- tion Act, Mr. Irving in the chair. I-Ie explained that the object is to em- power the directors, with consent of the shareholders, to increase the cap- ital stock to an amount not exceed- ing $200,000 and to distribute surplus earnings in dividends. ` Mr. ARSENAULT raised the ques- tion of the possible absorption of the company by the Nova Scotia Tele- phciii- Company. The latter, he said had much stricter' regulations and higher rates. Complaint had been made iff the present company having raised rates in Summerside on put- ting in metallic circuits and better instruments, which some were unwill- ing to pay. There was danger of an outside company infringing the rights of present subscribers unless those riglits are protected before any trans- fer or absorption is made. He was persiiiially satisfied with the manage- ment of the present company. Dr. WARBTIRTON said he had un- derstood that there was no likelihood of an arrangement with any outside company, but the propos;-d increase in capital had nothing to do with that. Tllld PREMIER agreed with Mr.
Arseniiult that the rights of patrons should be protected. He had under- stood that the Maritime Telephone

The gymnasium had been tastilyl
decorated in the afternoon by a com-` mittee of young ladies from the Col- lege and presented an attractive ap- pearance. A splendid program was' carried out. Those who took part were J. O. Davies, Roland Kaye and Miss Alice Saunders in vocal solos; readings by Miss Lois Taylor and George Green and a piano solo by Miss‘Kate Stanley. After these num- bers thc members of the intermediate Ahegweit team, winners of the inter- mediate league, were called to the front. Thcy were presented with a beautiful shield as A trophy from thc 3rd year girls of Prince of Wales Col- lege. Prof.. H. H. Shaw made thc presentation speech and Miss Seaman for the youngi ladies handed the shield over to the captain, Earl Lane.
The senior P. W. C. team was next
called up and F. (.1. Nash in 8, most happy manner on behalf of the donor of the cup and the Association, pre- sented the team with the beautiful trophy. Wendall McKenzie, captain of the team, received it and made a neat speech, thanking all who had helped to make the happy moment possible. The splendid spirit existing between the team and the losers. the first Abegiveits, was shown in the mingling of the colors of the club with those of the college in the deco- ration and in the fact that the the Abegweit team were present and as- sisted in the pleasure of the cvcninc-
After the more formal part of the
program was concluded an hour_of social intercourse was held in which several games wore played. A guess- ing contest conducted by Miss Sea- man and J. T. Clarkfn of the P. W. G, Faculty, proved of great interest. Refreshments were served by a com- mittee of young ladies under the able supervision of Miss Grace Dutclfer.
