23 NEW BARRISTERS TO BE ADDED TO ROLL

Second Place Prize is Also Won by a Calgary Man

Within a few days the number of barristers in the province will have been increased by 23, of which number 10 reside in Calgary. It is also worthy of note that the leader in the examinations was W.

Mr. Egbert, who is a son of Dr. Egbert, of Calgary, and who has studied in the office of Griffiths, Ford, Wright & Miller, will receive the gold medal presented by the Law society of Alberta. The second place prize has been awarded to A. Lannan, who has studied in the office of Reilly & Lunney, and the third prize to F. L.
