MiJESTY 6 London, May 28. â€" The Queen's condition IS now known to be such a.^ to warrant alarm even on the part of her physicians and per- sonal attendants. The character of the ill- ness has not been well defined beyond the point that it is of a nervous type and is not reaiUUy controlled by ordinary remedies. Her condition has been such that for days it ha? been difficult to get from herself any sufficient description of the symptoms to en- able the physicians to act intelligently. Her Majesty's nerveusness has become so extreme that she is frequently hysterical, and some- limes almost beyond control and bordering on deierinm. On the journey to Balmoral no cheering or other exciting demonstrations were allowed. The accident to the Queen'g knee is charged with resulting in the pre- sent illness. The knee sprain was secondary to the jar to the hip joint caused by the fall. The jar led to sciatica troubles, from which the royal patient- suffered terribly. After all lighter means of relief had been tried the physicians were compelled to resort to hypo- dermic inj!ction8 cf morphine in order to secure Her Majesty any relief whalever. Ou many occasions, after great pain ana loss of sleep, she has been temporarily quite beyond control. The fall, sprain, and inflammation allowed the gout, whose existence had long been known, to ascend to the hip, where the sympathy of the sciatic nerve was at once etci ed. Usually in persons who in other respects do not possess excellent health this is the fatal point in gout, and the physician's fear thin mav be the case with the Queen. Special to Standabd. London, May. 31. The Queen is at Bahnoral, in good health, excepting that her knee is troubhuj; her. Nothing alarming in her condition. «« » To the Editor of the Standard.

JmsineaB plade was adorned with a flag, .j A great ^raxAj went fiddng early in the ihoming, the most of whom returned in the forenoon and by 12 o'clock quite a large number had ar riyed from the country. A numt^r went to the B'y. Station to see the monstet ex- euTBion from Toronto, on their way to Owen Sound. This excursion was under the aus- pices of the Canadian Order of Odd Fellows of Toronto, and passed through about noon, stopping for water at this place, there were 22 cars completely packed inside and out, drawn by two heavy engines. This was the largest excursion which has ever passed over the road. Shortly after noon the crowd made then: way to the exhihition grounds, which are convenient to the village, where the horse racing and other sports took place.the course, which has been greatly improved, is now in fair order, yet the village intend still further improving tlie grounds and planting a large number of trees there which will make it a good driving park as weU as convenient and pleasant for various other gatherings. The horse races ptarted a httle behind but were pushed through without any unneces- sary delay. The number of entries was not very large yet there was close competition in some cases, and everything passed off quietly and without an accident of any kind, except that of a man in a snlky running over a horse. Af ter;the horse races came the atheletic sports and other games, below we give the PRIZE LIST. HcESE Races. â€" Open Trot â€" 1st, lucas, "Owen Sound Boy" 2nd, Campaign, "Puzzler."

The Ladies of the Methodist Church held their annual bazaar in Dufierin Hall, which was fairly attended, and those who did visit, did so apparently with the intention of trans- acting business, for they purchased freely of the many useful and ornameDtal articles there exhibited, the display i\x\?. year was ahead of former years, and before night Very little was left. THK CONCERT. The evening entertainment was a rich treat. Rey. Mr. McDiarmid occupied the chair and after referring to the past three years (his term on this circuit,) the many social gatherings which he had enjoyed dur- ing that period, and this being in all proba- bility the last, at least for a number of years, he proceeded with the programme. There was music by the Choir Music (both Vocal and In'^trumental) by Miss Miller of Toronto Duet, "Drift my Bark," by the Misses Ford Reading, "Aunt Hetty on Matrimony." by Mrs. Wm. Brown Song, "Larboard Watch," by Messrs. Mason Hill; Song, "The Beautiful Daisies, by Mrs. Tur- ner "The old man goes to town, by Miss. Trevorrow Duet and Song by Mrs. Hill fe Potter Song, "Were I the Fairest little Flower," Mrs. Trimble Song,Mr. Reynolds; Reading, J. Richards, and a sermon on "Old Mother Hubbard," by Master Wm. Din- woody. The above named persons did no discredit to themselves on the platform. Miss Miller showed rare ability at the organ both as to voice and instrumental music' and though she appeared four times, would haye been further hstened to with plea.sure by the audience, had it been thei'r privilege. Mrs. Brown's reading was highly appreciat- ed, as also was Mrs, Trmble's song. Miss Trevorrow disnlayed rare ability in her efforts which were very highly appreciated, and brought tears to many an eye. Master Din- woody brought down the Lnnse completely, and was with difficulty pertoitted to proceed o*-ngtothe roars of laughter, we hope he w'l' come apaia. We haven't mom to parti- cularize each, suffice it to say that everp me did good service, aud the-' efforts were highly appreciated by tae laR?e gathering of very respectable listeners.
