16 TRINITY COLLEGE SCHOOL RECORD are Sarnia Imperials, Western University and Queen's Uni- versity. We are also very glad to see once more with us Mr. Evans, Mr. Cohu and Mr. Sclater. p -A.M.F. GIFTS T0 THE SCHOOL Mention has been made elsewhere of the redecoration of the Chapel through the generosity of the Ladies' Guild. The Chapel has been still further enriched by the kindness of Mr. and Mrs. Bingham Allan, who have presented us with two beautiful Arundel prints, The Adoration of the Magi, and The Presentation in the Temple. These pictures have been in the possession of the Allan family for many years, having originally been owned by Mr. Allan's father, The Hon. G. W. Allan, of Moss Park, Toronto. We are indeed proud, not only to have such rarely beautiful pictures, but also to preserve through them an undying link with such a distinguished family. Mr. Gordon Osler C00-'02J, and Mr. A. M. Bethune V84-'92J have very kindly presented some interesting pictures to the School. Mr. Osler sent two groups, one picture, suitably framed and lettered, of the first organized hockey team at T.C.S. in 1892. Among the originals we notice the names of three fathers of present boys or boys lately left: Mr. F. G. Osler himself, Mr. T. W. Seagram of Waterloo, and Mr. J. W. Seagram of Barrie. Mr. Bethune sent pictures of the First XI., 1892, an interest- ing group of Old Boys taken in 18983 teams of 1890, and pictures of the remains of the School after the fire of 1895. Mr. F. G. B. Strathy C95-'97J has donated a box of early numbers of 'The Record' which will be of great help in completing another file. Mrs. Mood has given us two pictures for the Chapel and a parcel of books for the Library. One of the pic-

TRINITY COLLEGE SCHOOL RECORD 17 tures is a painting of St. Lucia, brought from a South American Church. The books comprise many well-known plays which we are exceedingly glad to have. During the summer all the telephone poles on the south side of the buildings were taken down and the wires put underground. No longer is there a giant fence, cutting the exceptionally fine View into segments, and for this lasting improvement to the surroundings of the School we are deeply grateful to Mr. McFarlane, the Vice- Pres- ident of the Bell Telephone Company, who had this expen- sive undertaking completed at no expense to the School. Mr. Howard Petry has presented to the School an interesting document, a mark book and detention book for the years 1895-'96, formerly owned by Mr. Frith, a well- known Master at the School. It is intriguing to see the marks and detention obtained by the fathers of several boys now at the School. -P.A.C.K. THE PORT HOPE FAIR As everybody knows, one of the big events for a small town is its fall fair. The fair provides an excuse for the inhabitants on the near concessions to come into town and compare the quality of Cy's beets with their own. Port Hope's fair was no exception, but not only was the quality of beets discussed, but everything from alfalfa to vegetable marrows. In fact, a perfect buzz of conversation arose from the beautiful natural park. Looking down on this rural scene, the visitor saw the country folk gathered round the stalls, consisting of one large tent, one converted barn, two refreshment stands, and several small, very small, sideshows. Entering through the main gate, the fortunate visitor is met by a perfect chorus of moons from yearlings,
