I’m sure we have got the other fel­ lers beat, ind so what’s the use of more talking. I tbiuk Captain Sol did first rate as he spoke on both sides. He’s honest. According to his story sometimes hunting is great ‘sport’ and sometimes it is’nt, and we think the ‘is’nt’ has the best of it (applause on the negative side) I like to fish as well as Captain Sol likes to hunt, but fishing is sport all the time, for we may bavo a rjee lorious time fishing, and nev­ er get a bite, (laughter) It’s just about as much fun, for nil the time you are thiuking something’s going to happen. and so it generally does, even to falling in the river, (laugh­ ter) but when the fish are nice and bite sharp, there’s where your double and twisted ‘sport,’ and lots of it conies in. This has been a great debate, Mr. Chairman. I think we’ve all done nobly, and astonished our­ selves and everybody else, (ap­ plause) Why Mr. Chairman, even the speech of Mr. DaDforth which he forgot (laughter) and skipped out aud did’nt deliver, was a great success in it’s way, (applause) and if about half the talk in the affirma­ tive had ended up in the same man­ ner, I think it would have been better for their aide of the question, (laughter) But i wont say any more. I ’m for the ‘sport’ of fishing. I don't go a cent on any of the old hunting business." And Willing was very willingly applauded as be regained bis seat. B.v the Lh»ir; | three minutes of bis time left, I which it was decided he could use at any time, and Mr. Happylnnd five minutes for closing the debate. If Mr. Careful desires to use the balance of his time he now has the floor.” “ Mr. Chairman,” said Caleb aris­ ing iu his place, “It is quite late, and as we are promised a recitation by Uncle Robert, so far as the neg­ ative are concerned, we are willing to consider the debate closed. We think the weight of nrgument is on our side, Mr. Chuirmnn, and cheer­ fully submit the question to you for decision." (applause) “ And I, Mr. Chairman,” 6aid the lender of the affirmative, “ want to hear Uncle Robert, and though I have five minutes time we cau be as generouB as our worthy oppon­ ents, and therefore sir, without further remark,'the affirmative also cheerfully submit tho question for your decision, (applause) By the Chair; “Gentlemen, and members of the Club, the sudden termination of the debate would have left the chair rather at sea if the chair had not followed the speakers very closely. As the question is stated, it is for the affirmative to make out a clear case. If tho weight of argument was equal, tho decision would be for the negative. I have kept a careful rec­ ord of ‘time’ on both aides, and al­ so weighed the arguments—pro and con—according to the best of my judgement as the bebate went on. You have all done nobly, and I con. gratulate the Club on having such a ‘tip top’ lot of speakers (ap­ plause^ But to conclude I find that the negative have the nearest filled their full time, and in my opinion also they have the best of the ar­ gument. (applause) My decision therefore must be in favor of the negativo. (Loud ami long contin­ ued applause in which nearly every joined.) "The President of the Club will now please come forward and take the chair.” And as Mr. Happyland took the chair he also received an ovation of applause, but be had no sooner brought his gavel down for order, than Johnnie Jameson of tho lute affirmative was on his feet: “ Mr. President, I desire to make a motion. It is this. That the thanks of the ‘Tip Top Club’ are hereby tendered Mr. Ralph Ready for the able manner in which he has presided over our deliberations, and for tho impartiality of his de­ cision.” (loud applause) Tho motion was supported by a score of voices, and carried with a whoop. There were no rankling jealous­ ies in the T. T. C. By the President: "The conclud­ ing order of business will be a reci­ tation by Uncle Robert Roland,’ ’ and when “ old Unk” took the floor the Club and the audience again turned loose their hearty applause, but that young-old chap raising his hand for silence, said: “ The sub­ ject of my recitation this evening is Poe’s ‘Raven’ ; a poem which it will take about fifteen minutes to ren­ der, and one which I have been studying more than forty years, reciting it often ahd not under­ standing ity et. It is a weird, nnac. countable thing to which I invito the closest attention during the rec­ itation.’ He then gave it in own dramatic way, received his full meaBiire of applause, and when the Club adjourned ¡t was near mid­ night. companions in their wanderings, “ to and fro in the world,” and their “ going up and down in it.” For the present our hat is in our hand, as we bid our patient nnd kindly readers “ good bye.’ ’ P.
