The weather, though cool and threatening in the afternoon, was not unpleasant enough to interefere with any of the arrangements for the day, and the attendance was large. The special trek; from Lindsay, which got in about 11, started out with six-' ty-five passengers, and picked up a number. along the way. At noon 8 large crowd, accompanied by the Syl- vester band, arrived, and about 150 came from Buckhorn and Bridge- north on the Esturion. Bobcaygeon’s Annual Fair Better Than Ever Before 'The parade, which was the main feature of the Fair, attracted much attention. It started from the mar-‘ ket square about one o’clock, and proceeded to the grounds. The Syl- vester band headed the line, which comprised saddle horses, decorated carriages, oxen, clowns, dogs in bar- ness, draught horses driven four-in- hand, single drivers, and outfits, a column of school children carrying Union Jacks, etc. Several of the carriages were very tastefully decor- ated, and Mr. Parker’s team of oxen, with Emir plodding gait, were inter- esting reminders of pioneer days. Al- together the procession was good. -L THE PARADE WAS, AS USUAL, AN ATTRACTIVE FEATUREâ€"MAGNI- FICENT SHOWING OF HORSES AND REGISTERED GAT- m TLE-EALLING OFF IN LADIES’ WORK vvav ---'- v- The exhibit of live stock was prob- ably the best" ever seen here.

Mr. Heaslip had his usual good ex- hibit, which included excellent speci- mens of these popular strains. In Jerseys, MLVV. H. Hamilton’s milk- ers carried the prizes. The draught horses shown were ex- ceptionally good and more numerous than usual.- Shires, Clydesdales, Percherons and suffolk Punches were well represented, and the heavy hors- es were much admired. In the driv- ers and carriage horse class some good animals appeared. a‘I'Iitei'est in sheep and swine seems to be increasing, tor the pens allotted to these animals were well filled with a creditable colleétion. In hogs, the White Yorkshires from Locust Hill Farm were a notable lot. The showing of poultry was fair. - The exhibits of roots and vegetables were surprisingly good, and would seem to indicate that these crOps are very far from being the failure that the long spell of drought made it seem so likely they would be. The exhibit of apples was a noteworthy ‘feature. Fine samples of numerous ‘varieties were shown. A. JORDAN ADDRESS THE LARGE PRESENT â€" LAURIER'S POL- Vulovvovu __ _ Of ladies’ fancy work comparatively few articles were exhibited. The number 0t exhibits in this depart- ment was in striking contrast to the number shown last year. when a very fine showing was made. A most in- teresting exhibit in this section was a collection of mounted wild flowers. which attracted a great deal of at- tention and admiration. Such dis- plays do a good service in arousing interest in nature study. Among the attractions on the fair grounds was the merry-go-round and the slack wire walking by Prof. Co- gan. The former was largely patron- ixde by the youngsters. and the Pro- fessor gave a good performance.

But in dealing with Mr. McLaughlin in days gone by I have given facts.â€"hard-pan dataâ€"to prove my statements. In Mr. McLaughlin’s "90 per cent. rake-off” cases. I had merely to turn to Fenelon township published records. Twenty per cent. on $400 is 380 paid to R. J. McLaughlin; and to the Government cheques and other data re drowned lands. to show that Mr. McLaughlin received cheques as Gov- ernment agent and cashed them. and the farmers were paid by him less the so per cent. Indeed. in soine instances an attempt was made to charge the so per cent not only on the sums to be received by the owner of the land but upon his own commission. One ladyâ€"Miss Nancy McIntyre, at Roubleâ€"objected to paying at the abnormal rate. That lady was, it seems, awarded "damages to land" 83!. and was asked to pay Mr. Mc- Laughlin “.80 commission. That is m per cent. on $24. Being a clever mathematician, that lady obiected and said if so per cent were to be charg- ed it should. be only on the sum she would receive, and she reasoned thus: Let the share to come to Mrs. McIntyre be represented by one; Mr. Mc- Laughlin’s share is to be m per cent., which is l-5â€"thus the two shares would be 1 1-5. via. 645 Then she said 6-5’8 are equal to $24: one-fifth is equal to 84. and the balance or five-fifths are equal to $20. Thus the sums were divided as to Mrs. McIntyre and $4 to Mr. McLaughlin. The good lady thus saved her 80c.. or the fiber cent. on Mr. McLaughlin’s share. That was a fine lesson in mathematics for Mr. R. J. McLaughlin. A woman like that is worth gold in any community. ’Mr. McLaughlin reminds me very much of the turtle in mainsmmsnt window. Two Irish’men were looking at it, decapitated. They did not know the electrical phenomenon of turtles. which permits them to open and shut the eyes, and twitch muscles, long after the head is 03. 80 Pat says, “Och, Mike, see it wink with its head off!" To which» Mike promptly replied, f‘Sure, Pat, the crathur‘s dead aisy enough, only it's not sinsible of it.” ‘ A word about the cause of this “tempest in a tea-pot." 1 have had sev- eral meetings already in this riding before hearing of Mr. McLaughlin’s slanders. I believe I had never once mentioned his name. ' Why should I? He is not a factor in this fight, though running it. George McHugh, of course, controls the patromge so long as his family connections hold out. while Mr. McLaughlin should be content with the legal rake-off. Neither of them is any longer a factor with a free people. They are too busy look- ing after themselves with the Government- Yet Mr, McLaughlin took up about three-quarters of an hour at both Fenelon Falls and Omemee to slander me behind my back.
