We invite your inspection, : THE DAILY BR THE MATTER OF AGE Brockville Brockville Recorder:-Times. This from the Kingston Stand- ard: "The Brockville Recorder and Times keeps standing at the head of its editorial page the declara- tion that it is 'Ontario's oldest newspaper,' this being the fiftieth year of its defly edition. "Some time when the handsome and accomplished editor of the Re corder and Times is in Kingston we will be glad to show him fyles of this daily newspaper ante-dat- ing. by some considerable years the fiftieth year mark which stands to the credit of the Recorder." The Recorder and Times has neither time nor inclination to as- cept the very kind invitation of the Kingston Standard, the greetings of the editor of which are heartily re- ciprocated. Nor is it the purpose of this newspaper to question the anti- auity of the dally editions of its Kingston . contemporaries, notably that of the British Whig, the first daily in Ontario and established at a date long anterior to the founda- tion of the Standard. For both it has nothing but the warmest admira- tion. Nevertheless, there is not the slightest intention on the part of this newspaper of a'tering by one syllable the phraseology which appears at the head of this column. .. As the Standard well knows, such claim to longevity as is made by this newspaper is based upon the continu- ous and uninterrupted publication without variation in title for more than one hundred and two years of its weckly edition, The Brockville Recorder. The caption to which the Standard objects is thus qualified and it would be presumption and un- truthful that any other distinction should bp assumed. The record of The Brockville Recorder, in which its publishers take pardonable pride, is one which no other publication in the province can equal. It is without exception "Ontario's Oldest News- PICTON RUGBY PLAYER SUFFERS BROKEN LEG in a Game at Napanee, Satur- day--B. D. Beamish Is the Victim. Picton, Nov. 13.--On Saturday af- ternoon the Picton Rugby team (Collegiate) went to Napanee to play the collegiate team there. Dur- ing the first five minutes of the game, Napanee scored a rouge and then a "try." When they went to convert the "try", the placer touch- ed the ball to the ground. B. D. Beamish, Picton, seeing this, rushed out to block the convert; Perry, of Napanee, the kicker, saw Beamish approaching, and made a lunge for- ward to block him. Their shins met crosswise and both fell. Beamish sustained a broken leg. Immediate assistance was rendered by Dr. Northmore, Bath, who happened to be in the field. Beamish was rushed in a motor truck to Dr. Wollough- by's office, where the leg was strap- ped to a plank. He was motored to Picton Hospital. Both bones of his 'right leg were fractured above the ankle. Fortunately it is a simple fracture. After the accident the game was carried on, but the morale of the Picton team was badly shaken. The final score was a win for Napanee, by 36 to 3. -Joseph Redmond, Plc- ton, had Lis wrist sprained. Canght Big Fish. Colin Alexander McKenszje, of 770 Gotham street, Watertown, N. Y.. was a recent visitor to Wolle Island, and he invaded the salmon bars with hook and line. He suc- ceeded in landing a very fine catch, one of which weighed 15% pounds. Mr. McKenzie also proved himself to be an expert in handling the gaff hook to land his fish. On Friday the death took place of an elderly resident of the township of Blizabethtown, in the person of Mrs. James McKimm. Death followed a stroke of paralysis sustained over a wi ago. She wag éighty-six years of age. " At their home, Park street west, Prescott, on Saturday, Mr. and Mrs. Joseph L.

Should its publication the probability is that The Christian Guardian, established ty Egerton Ryerson in 1829, with The Kingston Whig, founded in 182% by the equally spirited Dr. Barker, as next in successton. The preposterous claim of The Standard to an age of 114 years might be regarded as impudent weru it not ridiculous. No newspaperman in possession of the facts but is amused hy the pretence. The Brock- ville Recorder. The Kingston Whig, The Belleville Intelligencer and num- €rous other newspapers had enjoyel zn" existence of scores of years bo- fore The Standard was either con- ceived or born. Its origin is com- paratively recent and for the crea- tion of its self-computed age, it com- hines the existences of The Kingston Gazette, established by Stephen icke, established. in 1819, and the News-Chronicle, an amalgamation. Not one of these three survived an between the dates of their appear- ance there were intervals in which publicaticn was suspended and even in the course of their respective careers there were periods when the vresses were idle. Contrast this with the history of The Brockville Recorder, alwayu Learing that title and, thanks to the rerseverance of its successive pro- prietors and the confidence of the public which it has served. never missing an {issue In 4ll its long career, with the possible and un- evoidahle exception of a brief spac) iu 1849 when its premises were gut. ted by fire. The reader may judge for himself which of these two news- papers possesses the greator quaatfi- cations for recognition as "'Ontario's (Oldest Newspaper." The Recorder has certainly no intention of aban- doning its slogan and has no apology to make for its continued use.
