A. Thomas, better known in ms palmy days as “Gus” Thomas, who died after a long illness patiently borne, was for years host of the Eng- lish Chap House in Toronto. In his time in the seventies, the Chop 2i nee was the rendezvous of all the hunting men and leading horsemen 0?; Can- ada. At race times it was a cenm: as burn: and as full of life as‘ the modem: 1‘. latteson said it was so good that ‘ Fordham himself could not have" sur. passed it. ()n that occasion Arthur Godson was thrown twice, remounted, and finished with a broken collar-bone. The veteran John Halligan was huntsrnan, and all the admission charged was the tip dr pped in his outstretched cap. Many was the good race that Gus Thomas rode against the hard-riding officers of the Rifles, Lancers and Hussars stationed at dif- ferent times in Toronto. No man was more highly thought of, was more reg- ular in attendance at the gatherings of the Hunt Club, or more frequently in at the finish. Lovats and Their Scottish County Ac- septed “Pretender's Sons" Lord Lovat. appointed director of forestry, belonged to a Scottish family with a long and remarkable history. One of the strangest episodes was the patronage extended by Lord 'Lovat’s father to the two men who claimed to be the sons of the only son of Prince Charles Edward, the “Young Pretender," and the Countess of Al- bany. In the lonely Catholic church- yard at Eskadale, seventeen miles from Inverness, there is a Celtic cross of reddish stone to the memory of these two impostors. 1!- L‘- -- OLD-TIME “599v -mr-, Their story was that their father had at birth been handed over to the commander of a British frigate. Cap- tain John Carter Allen, who brought the child up as his younger son. The lad entered the navy, and in 1792 married Katherine Manning, a daught- er of the vicar of Godalming. Their I f -_..-L,- C‘ U‘ Luv I two sons. the proteges of Lord Lovat’s father. first appeared in the High- lands in 1815, and their claim was ac- cepted unquestionably, not only by Lord Lovat. but by the Earl of Moray and the county people generally. The brothers kept up their pretence so far that after dinner the younger would rise and give the toast, “The King,” at which the elde‘r. who remained mad, would gravely bow. Nova Scotia's- In the county of Queens. in Nova lam-0m Scotia, Snow Parker had built 46‘ vessels before 1826. Liverpool, in ,fi't‘em this country, was in the war of 1812 a ‘Hamili great privateering port. Twenty or ‘fi'as c] thirty prizes might be seen in that cnndu harbor at once. and a good many f ti Liverpool vessels fell a prey to New ‘0 0 England rivateers.

P‘A _" THE RED CROSS LAWN PARTY Mr. John Rowland was here from Walkerton and was asked to take the chair, a position he filled witn‘ marked ability. He declined to give‘ the chairman’s address at the time indicated on the program, but he more than redeemed himself be- fore the meeting was closed. There were a number of returned soldiers 'in attendance. and he wanted the audience to hear about. the war, as depicted by actual eye-witnesses of the awful tragedy. L g ; ‘v; Captain Ball was present, and told’ the story as he saw things in Meso- potamia and other places, but con- fined himself mostly to scenes :1- round Bagdad. Lieut. Pinkerton had seen service in the trenches in the Western Front, and endured the hardships of trench life in the Win- ter of 191:3, \VhOIl the boys, knee deep in mud, could only play a waiting game. He told of the se- ILLU- uw‘.‘v v of Fokkers by the Germans and 2.2m bravery of the Allies, who didn‘t fear to fight "anything. He ('lnsed his brief address by saying (hlruuih has made a name for herself. I: LAw-l -â€"â€"' was made by the Canadian soldiers in the mud of Flanders. and urged that they should now be relieved by the boys that were left behind. Pte. Nutting, also of Walkerton, was called to the platform, and made an earnest little speech. The chairman explained that Pte. Nut- lting was a married man, with a wife and six children. He enlisted early in the war. He did so as a duty, and saw much hard service. ‘He was wounded by a bullet pass- ing through his left shoulder and paralysing his left arm. He Spent a long time in hospitals before he was invalided home. and is only a. lshort time out of the convalescent lhospital at Whitby, where he will 4 again return for further treatment. Sergt. Taggart, from \\'z;11kerton, l was also on the ground. but escapâ€" , ed the eagle eye of the chairman till the meeting was just about to close. 7 In addition to the band solos were contributed by Mr. Allan Bell, and Mr. Mistele, a pleasing selection by the Methodist male quartette. The Misses Kerr, of Varney, accompan- ied on the organ by Miss Mountain, gave a very pleasing duet, and Miss m. 7“-“ nnntnihnfpfl no niano in- gave a very pleasing duet, and Miss Rita Irwin contributed a piano in- strumental and played most of the accompaniments. The grounds were pleasingly dec- orated, and well supplied with booths, where a rushing business was done in the sale of light re- 1 freshments. About ten o‘clock, the program seemed to be nearing a close but the chairman‘s Speech was yet to come, and when Mr. Rowland begins to unravel himself, there’s no tell- ll down.
