Windsor & Richmond Gazette, Saturday, March 3, 1900 - page 4 News in Brief Messrs. Cyril Tuckerman and M. B. Herps have been appointed to the Commission of the Peace. Two good men.

Also a Conditional Lease of 105 acres, parish Nelson, County Cumberland, by Edwin Hall, and a homestead selection,46 acres, at Wilberforce, by Joshua Jones. The drama, "Soldiers of our Queen," played by Maurice Gerald's Princess Dramatic Company last night, was the best performance of the kind ever witnessed in Windsor. The audience were delighted with the drama, and the applause was something deafening. The Company will stage "The Shaughraun" to-night (Friday), and they deserve a bumper house. The annual meeting of the Windsor Gas Company Ltd, was held on Friday night last, when the report and balance-sheet were adopted.

A dividend of 6d per share was declared. Messrs. S. Gow, S. T. Greenwell, W. H. Hull, and J. T. Fitzgerald were elected directors.
