It is also true that he promised to pay the expenses of this investigation, which he has never done. The Colonel, of late years, has got to be a parrot. The only thing he is able to do is to repeat himself, or perhaps, he is a “repeater.”â€"dwl. “No,” answered the old‘campaigner; “the best thing you can do is to look benignly pleasant and convey the im- pression that everybody pleases you}? u‘ ,3 (Washington Star.) use,” said the candidate, “I expected to please every- Reign of Afiability. nine COL. HUGHES EVADED CHAL- LENGE. (To the Editor of The Free Press.) Dear Sir,â€"I understand that Col. Hughes has been denying that Mr. McLaughlin placed a forfeit of $100 in my hands during the time of the last election, with the condition that if Col. Hughes could prove to the sat- isfaction of the secretary of the Con- servative Association that any of his statements in connection with Mr. McLaughlin were true, the amount should be paid to any charitable in- stitution in the county that the sec- retary of the Conservative Association directed. I wish to say that the money was placed in my hands, was held by me for about two months, and the challenge was published conspicuously in the public newspapers, and if any person believes Col. Hughes’ state- ments n0w that he never knew any- thing about it, I think that person is ready to believe even the other state- ments he makes. Anyway, the 001. states that he does not gamble, or, in other words, that he is not even man enough to take up the challenge. I have seen Mr. McLaughlin to-day and he is still ready to put up the $100, and still ready to leave the matter to the present secretary of the Conserva- tive Associationâ€"Yours truly, Mr. W. H.

It was seen in all the races that Lou Keswick has everything skinned in the line of horse flesh around this district, but she broke so many times in a race that winning was an im- possibility. She is a good pacer and if she gets down to a steady go, will will make a few of them hustle. The Montreal meet, one of the big- gest on the Canadian circuit, closed last week after a very successful week. The racing was all to the good and fast time was made in nearly every race. The weather was great for the event and the track was in pink of condition all the time. Harry K., owned by Dr. Cowan of Lindsay, was among the top-notchers at the meet and carried away a considerable amount of prize money. The horse has been doing some fine work this year and was in great condition to trot in Montreal. ROSEDALE. (Correspondence Free Press.) Oct. 6th, l908.â€"Our burg is very quiet at present.
