“ Mr, Chairman; Don’t seem as
we need any more talk on our side.
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

He then gave it in own
dramatic way, received his full
