SPEECH.

ST. GEORGE'S BALT CANCELLED.

Widespread cancellation of social functions has resulted from the advice repeatedly offered by medical men, that crowds should be avoided at all costs. The most prominent of the affairs to be cancelled is the St. George's Ball, which was to have taken place on January 6. In addition the usual Watch-night" Service at St. John's Cathedral, listed to begin at 11.20 to-night, and the New Year Kally organised by the Cathedral at the Theatre Royal for Sindig evening, will not take place, while the New Year's Eve Carnival at Lane, Crawford's Rew taurant has been abandoned. These are in addition to the list of can- cellations published in yesterday's issue of the Daily Pres. In that issus, however, we inadvertantly stated that the Polier Recreation Club Christmas Tree Party, to se held on January 1, was among the functions to be postponed. We are now informed that it will take place as arranged, and cancellation is not incontemplated.
