His wrath occupied nearly half a column, and even then he hadn’t recovered his equilibrium com- pletely. His ravings remind us of the fellow who wants to “lick the editor” because he said some- thing that wasn’t sugar-coated. We can overlook the fellow' who has had no public experience, and flies on his perch when his feel- ings get jammed, but, really, we thought newspaper men knew better.

The Durham band was the chief at- traction, and enlivened the even- ing with numerous selections. A good program, presided over by Rev. Kendall, was given, and a most excellent lunch served. The crowd present evidently thorough- 1y enjoyed themselves, and the booth on the grounds was well patronized. Mayor W. Black, of Durham, Ont. has been presiding judge at a number of Canadian trotting meetings this season.
