The meeting on the evening of March 13 was favoredwith a very informative, as well as deeply interesting, ad-dress by Prof. Young, of Toronto University. His subjectwas Governor John Graves Simcoe, whom he presentedin a different light from that shed by the ordinary historiesof General Simcoe and his times. He presented vividlv thedifficulties of and misunderstandings by the first Lieutenant-Governor of this province. Prof. Young pointed out alsothat many of our counties, townships and towns werenamed by Simcoe after the counties and places with whichhe was familiar in England. In moving a vote of thanks to the speaker of the evening,Mr. H. F. Gardiner mentioned a number of other Englishplace names perpetuated in the nomenclature of our town-ships, particularizing this county, all the townships of whichbear names given by Simcoe in memory of his home land.
