A discussion arose as to the relation of the Town Council to the Agricultural Grounds. Mr. 'Hutcheson outlined the following bit of history regarding the said grounds. 'In 1911 the property belonged to" the late Mr. Wm. Tummonds, who was anxious to dispose of it for the sum of $1500. "H Accordingly the Agricultural So- ciety set to work' to raise: the money and succeeded in securing the sum of $750 by popular sub-. scription in and around Port Perry. It was then suggested that the Council' approached with the propositi that the = property be deeded to-the town i = | in consideration: 1st--The payment of the sum of §750. 2nd--On the condition that the It | Agricultural Society have a lease )f the property (with power to is sublet) the rental to be $25 au aually, which amount was t | cover the taxes which the town would lose owing to the fact that wne grounds became town prop a I 8rd--The lease to be renewable indefinitely so long as the Agri nltural Society fulfilled the con- ditions of the lease. The Agricultural Society was raquired to keep the grounds in p oper condition and to allow the town free access to the property n all public demonstration: ince that time the Agricul | | tural Society has erected a fine | }stable, put in good cattle shed accommodation for Fajr Day, re- | {paired the foundations of the || Grand Stand, put in poultry '|coops, 're-fenced . the whole |grounds, and kept everything fro ship-shape. This has been done with but slight assistance from the town--never more than $100 per year, Sometimes, less, some- The- purposes. for whieh 'the grounds were "bought 'are now The Agri- - Jl catars Soviets has the we of Not tht Eh Society Je much "Th ~The officers of last year were reelected.

The shareholders and people of Port Perry and the surrounding country have reason to congratu- late themselves on the appear- 'ance, the convenience and the comfortable arrangement of the new rink. The new institution is -well patronized by both adults and children, and will be a valuable asset to the town from either a moral or physical aspect. The committee who have had the planning and construction in hand have done their work effi- ciently and well. They now find that' the sum of about $2,600 is needed to lift the balance of the indebtedness gnd leave the new rink free of debt. At the time of the canvass the people of Port Perry responded nobly and the great majority subscribed generously. There is, however, a considerable number of able citizens who either were not canvassed, and for some rea- the fut a later date. Tae Rink Committee have now asked the collectors to see any of th se who have not subscribed, or those who may wish to increase their holdings, and Friday, Janu. 27th, has been appointed as the day for the canvass. Kindly bear this date in mind. Meet the collectors in a kincl spirit 'and subscribe for as man) shares as possible in order that his worthy undertaking may 2me: ga from the shadow of in- iebtedaess, Two from Cannington. The local team defeated Can- nington 5-2 here in their secona aneounter this year, In all fair- .ess it must be said Cannington nad the betler of the play; but their weakness in goal contrast- ng with the good work of ous local lie was the means of their dewnfall. The first period where the grounds are required. | started fast, both team's for- wards' back-checking well "and making repeated rushes only to be by the defense on both sides. 'About five minutes after the play started Jackson made a 'pretty end to end rush and notched the {first goal for Port, then Switzer was not long in following, scoring the secon m' De, Camington then came and scored, making it 2-1. The play was fast from then until near the end of the period when Boe scored. Both teams mixed 'things pretty much at times.
