Christian Union Social.

At the Christian Union Social on the 17th August, each guest was required to wear a label whereon was writ the name of one of a famous couple, and was then expected to look for his or her partner. R. Beere, as Hamlet, seemed to find Ophelias everywhere, but his charms faded as the moon at the rising of the sun when S. Eichelbaum appeared on the scene proclaiming to the world, per medium of his label, that he was Adonis. Songs and recitation filled on part of the evening, and they were followed by various Mock Parliaments, and a novel game entitled "Musical Chairs." After supper had been handed round, the Junket medal competition took place. There were six competitors, and the subject was the advisability of women taking the initiative in the matter of proposing. The delivered a eulogy of the rights of the members of the British race, another tried to convince the audience that he was good-looking, and it was not until the fifth competitor arrived that the actual subject under discussion was mentioned. The popular vote resulted in D. S. Smith being declared the winner to the medal, which was presented with all due ceremony by Lord Junket, who delivered an address in A. MacDougal's best style. The evening terminated with the singing of "Auld Lang Syne."
