Young Maritimer typing winner at Toronto. Northrop Frye, Moncton Student, Wins Second in All Canada Championship over 60 Rivals. (photo) 16-year-old student at Success Business College. "Brilliant performance before audience of over 4,000 people in Massey Hall, April 6. He brought honor to New Brunswick and the Maritimes by placing second against a field of over 60 star performers from all across Canada. Mr. Frye's second is all the more remarkable when it is considered that his business college experience was done some months short of normal."

Work on Algonquin Nearing Completion. Rumors of Large Extension Before Next Year. Work in connection with the new powerhouse and laundry building at the Algonquin Hotel, St. Andrews, for the CPR, is nearing completion. Progress has been rapid and all equipment is now in use by the hotel department. The upper floor of this structure, which is to be used as a dormitory for the staff, will be completed within the next two weeks. Work was inspected this week by the chief engineer of the building, and his staff in company with J. F. Parsons, of Moncton, president of Parsons-Ed Co., Ltd., who had the contract for the work. It is rumoured that before another year a substantial addition will be made to the Algonquin which in recent years has been unable to take care of the large numbers of summer tourists seeking accommodation at this popular hotel.
