ARTISTIC TAILORS LINDSAY, THURSDAY, OCTOBER. 12th; .0603 The Li.tle Britain Tailsr One of the leading features of this fair wasa great array of fancy cooking and home-made bread and buns. No small interest was manifested in this depart- ment, not only by the competitors them- selves, but by the public generally and it certainly was an appetizing sight. But the sight was nothing to the satisfaction afforded the judges in sampling the entr- ies. Notwithstanding, their troubles in- creased as they proceeded in their work of alloting the prizes. The Watchman' Warder was in luck and enjoyed an ample cut of the first-prize pumpkin pie made by Mrs. Geo. McQuade. It was a daisy. Apiece of “angel” cake, made by Miss Calvert of Reaboro, went the same way with two or three dozen samples of apple pie, pumpkin pie, etc. The first- prize angel cake went to Mrs. Thos. Downey of Reaboro. The red ticket for the best apple pie was captured by Mrs. Wm. Corneil of Reaboro, with Mrs. Wm_ Hickson of the same place a good second. ‘The good ladies of Reaboro were well to the front in this department as well as in ladies‘ work. Mrs. Wm. Porteous of the same place won firstâ€"prize in home made bread, which was certainly a hngh honor. as there was some twenty odd loaves of the fines bread that we have even seen at'a fall fair. They were all good and to secure the choice is hiszhly creditable. the unfortunate victims. of the horrible railway accident at Reaboro, took place on Thursday afternoon and a large num- ber of residents were in attendance there- at. The fair is some respects was ahead of previous years, while in other ways it was deficient. One thing that militates against the success of this society is the fact that they are minus suitable build- ings and grounds to attract the enterpris; ing exhibitor, and “like a checker player’ have to keep on moving year after year, and brave the elements with a single canvas tent. The society should put forth an extra effort to secure suitable grounds and erect suitable buildings thereon if they intend to remain in the show business. The dispiay of ladies’ work was really fine, and here again we cannot refrain from consuring the directors for not pro- viding suitable and commodious quarters for this department and more in keeping with the efl‘orts put forth by the exhibi' tors. Would it not be a capital idea to secure the attendance of a number of ladie at the next annual meeting in order that their views could be ascertained on this and other points. The live stock was not in keeping with the progress of an old and wealthy town ship like Emily. The only redeeming feature in this department was the num- ber of fine horses exhibited. The cattle were few in number and poor in quality, as show cattle. Sheep and hogs were a trifle ahead of la~t year but there is great room for improvement in these two important branches of agriculture. In draft horses R. H, Stinson was the only exhibitor. Thus. Devell won first honors with a fine black mare sired by Lewie Gordon with Granite Lad foal a side. T. D. Laidley Was second with a great brood mare which unfortunately was low in flesh. The foal, however, was a “cracker jack” and if the pi ize had been for foals he would have been an easy winner It was sired by Irskine McGregor. Mr. Laidley was first in two year-oldswith a grand bay sired by Craxchmore Darnley. Albert Lang came second with a good blocky iron grey colt of the Percheron type sired by Finot. The year olds were not in keeping with the other classes Mr. Laidley secured the red ticket with a p'oorly developed colt by Craichmore Darnley while Thos. Deyell secured second with a Morocco colt.

Kennedy brought in a fine baymare and Prince Edward foal and instead opening up the competition a second time a com- sonuise was arrived at by Mr. Kennedy accepting second-class honors. Geo. Mc Brien showed a highly finished Percheron two-year-old by Fiuot that was a credit to any breeder. Thos. Deyell came second with a good bay filly but more of the coach type. Bert Lang was the only ex- l hibitor in the year olds, showing a nicely :turned chestnut sired by Goodenough. LThere was a great field of contestants in the carriage class-as. Three fine matched pairs came under the inspection of the judges when the carriage teams were called. Thos. Calvert came first with his great pair of bays, sized byPhil Ryedyk and Sunshine. Tuis pair won at Lindsay, Pcterboro and Millbrt ok, and are hard to beat. Frances Fell came second with a speedy pair of matched blacks. sired by Canada, Southern and Grey Messenger, while Thos. Deyell “as just behind the! natures so freely tie themselves up when the object assailed is Sam Hughes.

Others prefer to sknlk through the world unpun- ished forgets and perjurers to risking their skins for the old Empire. Their aim seems to be to disrupt rather than to upbuild. To place the facts before you, Mr. Editor, I present the following questions submitted ‘ by “Canadian” to Col. H. Smith of Toronto, ‘ who writes under the name “Vanguard” in the Mail-Empire every Saturday, and who is admittedly the best authority on military law in Canada. I knew my ground, I knew I was correct in every position taken; but it is always pleasant to find oneself endorsed by such high authority as “Vanguard." The following are the ques- tions, the answers are summarized ; but appear in full in the Mail- Empire of Satur- day, Sept. 30th: Question 1â€"Has Col. Hughes or an; EMILY TOWNSHIP FAIR 2th, 1899. The speeding in the ring event was both exciting and dangerous, and to see the drivers bounce of their seats when the wheels went down into a furrow just a little bit deeper than the other was enough to frighten the judges to say nothing of the drivers. It was a one-heat event and resulted as follows: Francis Fee’s Black Messenger, lst; I. Laidley's Minnie L, 2nd; Jos. Brown's Meta, 3rd; W. H. Mitchell’s Daisy Bell, 4:13. No time. list E. Storey came first with a. low blocky mare by Little Ned with Chenoah foal_ Wm. Deyell secured second place with a Boxer mare and a two months old Keswiek foal that was a. “d andy.” Thos. Atwell was outside the money with an age:a grey mare that no doubt has been a “good ’un” in her day, and Chenouh foal. . .Thomas Fee captured first place with a nice two year old filly, Francis Fee coming second with a big loose bay gelding sired by Riflaman. while W. H. Mitchell was be- bind the money with his iron-grey gelding sired by Canada. Southern ...... G. Switzer scored another first prize with a grey filly sired by Canada Southern. Bert Lapp coming second with bay fi:1y by the sanie sire. The principal exhibifors in sheep were Messrs. Robb. Vance and John Fee in Cotswolds, James Kennedy, Tnos. Deyell Peter Hawkinq in Leicester's. Geo. Mc- Quade, Thos. McQuade and Rob't. Balfour in fine wool sheep. v"-.. VJ vw. V\a., with Thos. Calvert in second place with a bay Sunshine mare. Isaac Laidley’s fleet. footed chestnut mare by Canadian Star wasjust outside the money much to the surprise of her string of admirers. Robert Thorn showed a good bay mare by Sun- shine. R. J. Weir's clean-limbed chestnut gelding Colonel. sired by Goldust, had lots of style, but too much ginger to negotiate the furrows across the field and remain on his feet. ‘ Percy Cronk showed a nice brown pacer adorned with “nobbles” that settled his chanCes. In the brood-mare list E. Storey came first with a low blocky mare by Little Ned with nhpnnnh hm: The poultry exhibit was behind the txmes, and was confined principally to geese. turkeys and ducks. In grains and seeds there was a. slight improvement in number of entries, while the samples of grain would be‘hard to excel. ' :{flag with an evenly matched pair of bay ‘Orange Boys. No less than six competi- tors came forward in the class for carriage carriage horses over 15.15 hands high. Joseph Brown caught the judges’ fancy first with the big standard-bred chestnut mare Meta. by Red Wilkes. Robert Thorn’s bay gelding by Dr. Carver, secured second place. '1‘. Devell of Lindsay adver- tised his fruit business with a big High- land Chief mare driven in his natty turn- out. S. Chambers showed a good chestnut mare sired by Tariff j unr. James N icholls showed a good Toronto Chief gelding, and Sam Fee a rattling good roadster by Cana- dian Star ...... In the class for drivers 15% hands and under, six more good ones re'. sponded. James Bushel secured the place ‘ with a fine pacing gelding sired by Carver, The .- wasa. tasty display of butter in print» and rolls, and the judges were pretty nearly wild before they mustered up courage to say which was really first and second choice, so even were the entries. A single cheese from the Omemee factory got) the red ticket. The usual displav of garden truck and field roots were to hand, and while there was nothimz sensational it was to say the least creditable. The “tug-c fâ€"war" created a heap of fun and noise for the onlookers. It was the Agricultural Society vs. The Earth. Wm. Deyell and Isaac Fee captained the teams respectively. There was six men on each side, and at the end of a. three-minute pull Capt. Fee’s men were declared the winners. No less than five lady drivers came before the judges, namely: Mrs. Thos. Dowuev, Miss Hickson. Miss Jackson, Miss‘ Eva. Fee and Miss Ella Hoovden. After considerable deliberation the judges awarded the prizes to the first; two ladies. The atheLic sports concluded the day's amusement. The winners were: Boys, race under 1'). years, Victor Mitchell lat, Leonard Abwell 2nd. Small boys’ raceâ€" L. Blackwell 1519, H. Deyell 2nd.

I must thank the outfi for their attacks. For many a long year they have yelped at my heels; every time being worsted.

I may here state that fully enough propositions have been received to guarantee a force of ten times as many as will be required. In conclusion, Mr. Edvtor, let me assure the select. ring so keen to malign me. than in case a corps is sent to the Transvaal under me they mav rest assured that neither Canada nor my friends will have cause to blush for ear conduct. They never have 1180 cause yet. Can my assail- ants say the same? Answerâ€"Not; in the slightest degree. To suppose he were violating sec. 93 is simply ridiculous. The annual rifle matches of the Victoria County Rifle Association in connection with the 45th tattalion were held on Thurs- day last. The weather was to the Queen’s taste, but an erratic wind prevented extra high scores beinz‘made. There was a good attendance of : iflemen. Following are the scores: Question 2â€"Should Col. Hughes have confined his application to the one through the regular military channel 3 Answer-No. Question 3â€"Had Col. Hughes a right to apply direct to the Imperial authorities? Answerâ€"Certainly. Question 4-Is Col. Hughes violating sec. 98 of the Army Act in his circular letter askine for the names of persons desirous of enrollimz men in case of war?
