Mr.Rasselyer-Brown, Mr.
Furlong senior and others were there, not from special interest in the light or traction questions, but, as they said themselves, from pure civic spirit.

Dr.Boomer was there to represent the university with three of his most presentable professors, cultivated men who were able to sit in a first-class club and drink whiskey and soda and talk as well as any businessman present.

Mr.Skinyer, Mr.Beatem and others represented the bar.

Dr.McTeague, blinking in the blue tobacco smoke, was there to stand for the church.

There were all-round enthusiasts as well, such as Mr.Newberry and the Overend brothers and Mr.Peter Spillikins.
"Isn't it fine," whispered Mr.Spillikins to Mr.Newberry, "to see a set of men like these all going into a thing like this, not thinking of their own interests a bit ?" * * * * * Mr.Fyshe, as chairman, addressed the meeting.
