Of "course, they weren t our trees. for I suppose you'll know Some things a hookey-player did, say fifty years ago. I I used to know a garden, too, where ripe grapes grew so thick And luscious it was hard to tell which ones you ought to pick; And when you chose a. bunch at last. the tasty juice would flow. There are no grapes grow like that now--- but that was years ago, `since formulated and become" some- thing closer than merely a frequent `visitor to Barrie, and to find a whdle lot more than fifty of the old friends as well as several times that many new ones. awmmm&m&$&m a&$ M TI `TI ZR 1 Th 'n` 'g` kg` ' A"A` 'A"A` TTTTTTT .THE MARKEISR E >F>YoYmm;Y4 mm m .n*mM.v..vL.m.v.

Moore; now Barrie s prominent shoe merchant. as a partner; and feels pretty certain the latter was a. participant in most, life not all,of the other contests too. The final, unexpected lacrosse game on that occasion was againstlorillia team. who had come down omthe 5 p.m. train` to play against us after having cleaned up_ one or more Toronto teams in Or-I illia earlier in the afternoon. So it's not hard to appreciate-that lacrosse was some" game in the old days and the fellow who played `it had generally to stand up against some rough goinr.`.i that in later times has been lar.e.'el.vg~ eliminated from the game, much'~to its. improvement--though lacrosse "as 3' game seems to have been pretty much I I to the regret of all former players. 4 And in the athletic department of,f those holiday celebrations in. Barrie ` and the other towns of Ontario com- ` petitors used to come from considerable 1 distances to enter especially the pro- ` fessional events, for there were ` always both professional and ama- 1 teur contests. on the -same pro- 1 gram and there have been some ` professional world's records made` 1 in the old Queen's Park in Barrie in ` the '70's and early '80 s, which stooil .` for years, among them Jumping per- 1 rormances by E.

A French`-Canadian ` named LeClair also made a.world re- ' cord there in the running hop-step-'1 and-jump: and the writer can still. hem` (in remembrance) the very ex- pressive comment--which I shall `not quote for obvious reasons---that E._ W. Johnson, who was conducting the gam- es, made when that world record an- nouncement was given. as that jumper held his landing position until the dis- tance was measured. amid.the sur-` rounding: crowd of interested spectators. almost on the exact spot where the. band stand is located. or was located; when I last saw it. - Gnu-an AP #1-tn nl-Inn-v nnnvnlnonf nO-ln1n6- xu .1 ____..-- .....v.u.-; uUul1Ly UL mmcoey -and- DR.
