The whole factory was beautifully decorâ€" ated and the presence of the 29th, Regiment _ orchestra who gave . a choice programme, made the evenâ€" ing a very pleasant ome for everyâ€" At the entrance, the visitors were welcomed by Mr. S.J.

Musselman the firm‘s sectetary, while in every part of the factory, the heads of departments and sistants were stationcd to explain the workings of the machines and facts concerning the work they did. The library and reading room is a spacious one, which will accommoâ€" date a large number of readers. Alâ€" ready _ there is a goodly collecticn of choice books and the tables are replete with the latest magazines. This move on the part of the firm in providing room for a library is one of many that preceded and othâ€" ers which are to follow, the whole‘ programme being calculated to imâ€" prove the relationship between emâ€" ployers and _ employes. The factory has, by the firm‘s efforts in this dirâ€"‘ ection earned the name of "The Moâ€"‘ del Factory of Canada.‘; To _ show how _ successiul the departure has been it need only be stated that the pay roll of the factory has steadâ€"‘ ily increased until last month it ! reached the sum of $11,000, mmg-[ est in the history of the company.

At the present time the manual training school is being conâ€". ducted in the basement until proper arrangements have been made at the Collegiate Institute. There is also » a smoking and reading room in thi basement. ‘The second storey is the library proper, while in the third flat there is an assembly room, _ a .Boud room and a girls‘ class room. . The Berlin people are royal enterâ€" tainers, and _ they saw to it that time did not: hang heavy with the , Ingersoll delegation. At 7.30 in the ; evening the firemen gave an exhibitio . run, and commencing at 8 o‘clock the 29th Regiment band gave an open air band _ ecncert on the market , square, which was immensely enjoyâ€" .od‘by those from Ingersoll. When it comes to music Berlin, as in other tmpcu. will look after itsell, _ anc the 29th ‘Regiment band is certainâ€" ly one that the town should _ feel proud of. : | Following _ are _ some extracts from the Ingersoll columns of _ the ; Woodstockâ€"Sentinel _ Review concernâ€" inz ths _ Ingerso!l Board of Trade excursion to Berlin:â€" f ?&ll Chronicle.â€"To the visitor Berlin‘is particularly attractive and it is well worthy of the name:"Bu Berlin.‘‘ ‘The hospitality of the peoâ€" ple that make up this hive . of. inâ€" dustry is also a distinclive feature, as yesterday‘s excursionists have evâ€" ery reason to know. _ _The town.itself is nicely laid. out. and from a standpoint of buildings it â€"isâ€"right <at the â€" front.â€"Onâ€"every> hand there is ample evidence of the progressive spirit of the inhabitants who are making ‘"Busy Berlin,‘" busâ€" ier every day. The town has a most beautiful park, and strange to relate it bears the same> name as Ingorâ€" soli‘s pleasure resort. The Berlin park uccupies in the neighborhood ‘of fifty acres andâ€" comprises an artificiai lake, athletic grounds with a large grand stand, picnic grounds with a large pavilion and a race course. Gravel walks. and flower beds add greatly to the beauty of the place, <which is â€"undoubtedly one ‘of the finâ€" est parks in Canada. ' At fohr o‘clock the whole party assembled â€" at the brewery of tne Huether Brewing Co., where aiter i the works had been inspected reâ€" freshments of the kind that have helped to make Berlin famous were |served. Rye bread and hot Wiener sausages and lager were the main { items on the bill of fare but those ; who â€" were not +sufficiently German lwere regaled on sandwiches. Every place the visitors went there were two or three bospitable Berâ€" linites accompanying them to point out the features of their town â€" of which they are. justly proud. > Berlin calls herself the best town in Canada, the town of homes . and manufactories, and while her right to the first title will naturally be disâ€" puted the other is undeniably an apt expression. One sees the chimneys of thriving industries everywhere and in homes the town certainly excels. Evâ€" ery place of course has beautiful houses, but there it ,seems as il evâ€" eryone in town owns a comfortable brick residence with comfortable lawn surrounding it. feon‘ e _ At half past seven the fire brigade rn an exhibition run, making very ast time and the remainder of the evening was taken up with an open air band concert by the band of the 20th Regiment. The band is an excelâ€" lent musical organization and gave a really splendid concert. sOQUETS FOR BUsY BEKLIN, St. John‘s Church was crowded to the doors Thursday evening on the occasion of the ‘organ recital by W.

RESOLUTIONS OF THANKS A resolution â€" was passed thanking the 29th Regiment band for giving THE KING STREET CROSSING. President Mills introduced the disâ€" cussion respecting the dangerous conâ€" dition of the King strcet crossing of â€" the G.T.R. He thought the the Weber street crossing was eqâ€" ually as _ dangerous and something should be done there too. > council should be urged to take imâ€" mediate _ action to have the comâ€" pany remedy the evil and danger to traffic of all kinds. Mr. C.F. Brandt pointed out that Mr. R. Reid.â€"It would pay the town and the Grand Trunk Railway, ‘be ascertained and the matter . then to build a subway at the King St. crossing. Gates would be of no use. The cost of such a Structure should referred to the G.T.R.

Mr. E. Smyth.â€"Gates would â€"be of no use at the Weber stfeet crossing. The gates would be closed nearly all the time. It would be better to have a watchman there. Mr. Reid said there was more shunting at the King street crossing than at any other _ tracks, three being _ across the street, and none of. them could be used . withâ€" out. crossing the street, the switchâ€" es being too neat. He understood that it was the intention of the . G.Tâ€"R. to move the station to King streot. ‘The ‘Tuerk street crossing â€" also came â€" in for a lengthy discussion and different members of the board expressed the opir that it was high time so was done there. have a plan <prepared of all the crossings, so the v:omn‘almm" 'M bufore way Comâ€" mission.
