A meeting of the Governor's Kejeption Committee was held last evening at the Borough Chambers- Present: Messrs H. C. Gillespietfn the Chair), Paterson, Davey, 6. S. Clark, Poulgrain, Boss, and Killgour. Apologies for absence -were received from the Mayor, County Chairman, and Chairman of the Harbor Board, who were attending other meetings.—The decision of the sub committee to present one address to His Excellency instea 1 of three, as originally proposed, was approved—Some discussion ensued as to the advisability of entertaining the Governor at a luncheon or banquet, but the general opinion was not in favor of doing so, an the time occupied in the recep tion, and in visiting tha races, which have been arranged in honor of His Excellency's visit by the Jockey Club, would not permit of such a function taking place.
The interest in the special meetings of the Salvation Army shows no abatement. A large crowd assembled at the Barracks last evening to witness the " Harvest Field," which was very creditably gone through by the various members of the Army, the excellent playing of Miss Downes on the piano and organ adding considerab'y tc the evening's enjoyment. To night Adjutant Williams talks on the " Prison Gate Work," when a select audience is expected to listen to his recitals of humorous and pathetic experiences in the Army Home at Ep?om. The litter branch of the Army's work especially has our admiration, in fact it has the approval of most people. We therefore predict a sympathetic gathering.
