Sons of Temperance Picnic.- -Tea Meet ing and Lecture. There was quite a large crowd of visitors from the sarvounilm,; district in Flesherton on the occasion of the celebration of the naul day of Canada. Contrary to general expectation, our .-is lir village, Markdale, celebrated tin day by Hports, ai.iusements, Ac., although Fltsherton people have been in the habit of dialing much more generously with tin in. In come- qncuco of this unusual and unlooki-d for act on the part of tho powers that I - at Markdale, the crowd was not at large as on former occasions. SUNS or TuMviciiANi K PUNK.

The lluv. lecturer having had some forty fears experience preaching, must uiderdtand his subject thoroughly. Tut SPOKTH AND GAMES. Although there was not as large a crowd of people on the Agricultural grounds to witness the horse-racing and atheletic games ai.d sports this rear as last, the programme was more airly carried out, and with lew un- seemly wrangling. The committee i rtumly deserve great credit for per- forming their various duties so faith- 'ully and efficiently, under such un avorable circumstance*. The dis- grace of last years' sports has been wiped out, and it is not likely tlmt it ver will be repeated in Flesherton. Tin. HOKS RMKJ*. Open Trot. 1st, \V. H. Campaign's D. 8. Puzzler; 2nd, It. J.
