It would not be g Jossibie to name all who took part in the parade, nor all who beautifully decorated turnouts; but by common consent there were two that received general admiration. They were the auto- mobile decorated by the Misses Davis, with its canopy of gold and white; and the Star car decorated in fringe primrose and black stars, by Mrs. Malcolm Beare. Harold Hall and his sister Ruth, were at the head of the parade with their trained dog drawing a well decorated wagon. Harold as driver, wore a gaily colored costume. Then came the Port Perry Brass Band with Mr. J. E. Jackson as Master of Ceremonies, followed by two young ladies on horse back (Miss May Cockburn and Miss Lela McMillan.) After that came some ponies and decorated carts. These ponies added con- siderably to the attractiveness of the parade. Some of them came in from Manchester. After the horse vehicles came the autos, in the first of which were Mr. and Mrs. John Rolph, both enjoying the occasion greatly in spite of their great age. The parade over, the formal opening took place at what used to be known as the St. Charles Hotel corners, where a platform had been erected. Reeve Figary was chairman and introduced the following speakers. Mr. John Rolph, who, in a brief and good speech, formally opened the road; Mr. Squires, deputy minister of Highways for Ontario; Mr. W. H. Spinks, M.P.P., of Manitoba Legislature; Mr. Geo. A. McMillan, Warden of Ontario County; Mr. Geo. Jackson, member of Port Perry Council; Mr. Samuel Farmer, Chairman of Board of Education; Dr. James Moore, of Brooklin; Mr, W. E. N. Sinclair, M.P.P. for South Ontario. During these opening proceedings the Port Perry Band gave fine musical selections. At this point it should be stated that the Band is doing fine work under the leadership of Mr. J. Ross Roach, and there were many expressions of appreciation of their services during the afternoon and evening. Down at the dock a great crowd had been gathering for the fun was to start with the aquatic sports. Moreover these sports were to be unusually good owing the the generous courtesy of Mrs. A. R. Wilson, of SevenMile Island. A week or so ago Mrs. Wilson was asked if she would take part in the sports, and the response was most cordial; but the committee had no idea of the treat in store for the public. «. When. the day arrived Mrs. Wilson brought the following experts to our town without any cost to us. Miss Kathleen Norgate of Toronto, champion diver and long distance swimmer of Canada. Miss Olive Bettle, holder of Diploma from the Royal Life Saving Society of London, England; and swimming instructress at the Y.W.C.A., Toronto. Mrs. Northcott, an expert swimmer, who assisted Miss Bettle in her life saving demonstration. Miss Norgate delighted the people with her diving exhibition which included the Eskimo, Icelander, Swan, Jackknife, Propeller, Back Flip, dnd Back Flip and Half Turn. Miss Bettle gave exhibitions of the following swimming strokes and tricks: back stroke, breast«stroke, over arm side,-- tricks) propeller, revolving or rolling log, spinning top, double forward somersault, double backward somersault, swimming on breast, arms only; swimming on breat, feet only; torpedo, walk- ing on water, fish swimming, duck swimming. At the conclusion of the performance, the three young ladies were presented with beautiful baskets of flowers an expression of appreciation from the town. There has not been a better dis- play of expert diving and swimming in Port Perry; and the good sportsmanship that induced Mrs. Wilson and the young ladies to take part in the program, for the love of the sport, is some- thing which we shall remember with pleasure. That is the real spirit of true sport; a spirit that has not been developed as well as it might be. The other events in the aquati¢ sports were: Motor Boat Race won by Arthur Brock." Tandem Canoe Race, won by Arthur Brock and John Harris. Greasy Pole, won by Clifford Wakeford. : Tilting Canoe, won by John Harris and Arthur Brock.

Put a bit of money in your pocket when you go to this dance. The Band needs your practical sup- port as it renders a very fine service to the town. The final number of the day's program was the communit, dance in the town hall. This dance was well patronized and though the admission fee was low some $46.00 was netted for the War Memorial Fund. ; The Boy Scouts also contributed some $14.00 to the Fund as net proceeds from the sale of refreshments during the day. It has become very evident that Port Perry can put on a big day, when it chooses to do so, and it is also evident that our water front can become one of the main assets of the town. Many people now begin to see the need of improving and enlarging "Lakeside Park." : Everything within reason that can be done to make the water front attractive should be the business of both townspeople ' and Council. business. SEVENTY-FIVE YEARS OF HISTORY. Reunion services and celebra- tion of a unique character were held at the Presbyterian,Church, Wick, on August 3 and 4, to commemorate the 76th anniver- sary of the organization of the church, and the 50th anniver- sary of the ordination and induc- tion of the Rev. John McClung, into the united charge of Wick and Greenbank. The services were conducted, in the morning, by Rev. John McClung, who is now in his 81st year; and in the evening by Rev. W. A. McKay, B.D., of Streetsville, both of them former pastors of the con- gregation. Rev. John McClung preached from the text, "Woe is unto me if I preach not the gospel". He told his audience he would preach the exact sermon that he preached fifty years ago that date. Before announcing the tneme of his discource, he asked if there were any in the audience who could tell him the text that he used on that occasion. Mrs. Anderson, of Oakwood, was able to recall both the text and the chapter, The subject of Mr. McKay's discource was; "The permanent quality of religion." His text was "and when they had lifted up their eyes, they saw no man, save Jesus only." Matt. 17:8. Both services were listened to by very large audiences. On Monday, August 4th, a very largé crowd of people assembled for the purpose of celebrating the occasion. "It proved to be an "Old Boys Re- Union". There were frieds present from Toronto, Windsor, Detroit, Chicago, Orillia, Mid- land, Lindsay, Peterboro, Osha- wa and many other places. The afternoon was given to sports, until the descending showers claimed the right of way. While supper was being prepared, a DED IN STORING COAL Two fires have broken out in connection with Oshawa schools owing to poor storage of coal.

No. 223 will stage two notable celebrations within the next year, notice of which appears elsewhere in this issue. short program, consisting of impromptu speeches, intersper- sed with song and music, took up the time and attention of the audience. Rev. J. Burkholder, of Kirk- field, Moderator of the Lindsay Presbytery, conveyed greetings from the Presbytery to the peo- ple of Wick; and the good wishes of the Presbytery of Hamilton to the Rev. John McClung. Mr. McClung had prepared an ad- dress, giving a brief sketch of his life's work, which for lack of time, he preferred to hold back for another occasion. Among the speakers who ad- dressed the audience were Rev. Jas. Miller, of Toronto; Mr. Geo. Rennie, Woodville; Mr. James Waddell, Port Perry; Dr. John- son, Chicago; Mr. Geo. Rose, of Port Perry; Rev. J. R. Fraser, Columbus; and Rev. W. A. Me- Kay, Streetsville. Solos by Mr. N. Baird and W. McLeod. At 8.15 pm. a program music by the 48th Highlanders Band from Toronto, recitations by Miss M. Fisher, Oshawa, and solos by Mr, Dawson, Toronto, kapt the audience in good humor until a late hour. A registration bureau was established, and most of those in attendance recorded their names, so that generations yet unborn, may see and learn the names of people who were pre- sent, A large collection of curios (consisting of relics 75 years and over) were on exhibition and proved to be a source of great interest to the visitors. Among the curios was a sleigh nearly one hundred years qld, at one time used by the Governor of New York State, now owned by Mr. J. J. Leask. There were tin lanterns lighted by tallow candles, candle moulds, crimp- ing irons, smoothing irons, muskets, swords, oxyoke, water- carrying yoke, hymn book, tun- ing fork dated 1764 and many other articles, put back, with air vents in it, to prevent further fires. ee (U(r MAN'S STUPIDITY Advise a man to submit to a dangerous necessary surgical operation, and he will probably do-it.
