OLD TIMER'S DAY In: the absence of any outstanding attraction, apart from sports, visitors to Pembroke Centenary had the op- Jortunity yesterday to call on their riends and renew old-time acquain- tances. Yesterday was old-timers' day. The streets in the business sec- tion were very quiet in the morn- ing and early in the afternoon. The revelry almost reached its height at night, There were thousands out. At the pageant, which was held in Cen- tenary Park for the second time this week, hundreds were turned away. Dancing in the Armories was so crowded and in the Town Hall as well that at midnight two of the or- chestras repaired to the street and the dancing continued there until 4 o'clock in the morning. The last of the celebrants left the scene of gaiety about 6 o'clock "with the BE ---------- pe-- A StoBIEFORLONG 6@ BONDS adyood Office: Reford AND WELLINGTON 9T8. S. F.

There were as many watching the sports at Riverside and Okelly Parks. In spite of the revel- ry, in which enthusiasm seems to he growing every night, it is remarkable the lack of rowdyism and the won- derful order which is being kept everywhere, The traffic becomes at times congested, but the traffic offi- cers are able to untangle things in a few minutes, LOSES MEMORY Mr, George Thrasher, a well-known lawyer who resided for some years at Stirling Village, Wednesday had a harrowing experience in that he suf- fered loss of memory, He had been of late assisting a relative, Floyd Thrasher of Thurlow Township, upon the farm and was sent to a mill with a team and wagon to bring home a grist, He started home hut evi- dently became confused and drove to Marmora, Madoe, Crookston and other places, a distance of at least 40 miles. Yesterday he was found near Stirling Village, leading one of the horses , The other horse attach- ed to the wagon was found in an ex- I I hausted condition, COUNTRIES JOINED BY ANOTHER LINK Ceremonies Mark Raising of Span Across Detroit River First physical contact with both shores by the Ambassador Bridge spanning the Detroit River from Detroit to the Border Cities of Canada took place with elaborate ceremonies Wednesday afternoon, When completed in the fall of next year this bridge will be the longest- span suspension bridge in the world being almost two miles in length from entrance to exit and erected at a cost $20,000,000. The first spanni f the Detroit River is to he by 'means of a steel rope 1% inches in diameter strung over the path to be taken' one ofpthe two main supporting cables of the permanent bridge structure, The steel rope is to he lifted from the bed of the river, where it was placed a few days ago, to the top of the two huge towers which will carry the burden of the finished international bridge, From this steel cable will be Jung the working platform from which the workmen will construct the 7,622 parallel and closely com pacted steel wires which will form one of the two main bridge cables, The same operation will be fol. lowed in the construction of the other main 19 inch cakle, The mayors of Detroit and the Ontario Border Cities of Windsor, Sandwich, Ford, Riverside, La Salle, Tecumseh and Walkerville officiated in the elaborate program, regimental and police bands from both shores furnished the muslie, A squadron of aeroplanes dropped brilliantly colored balloons on the river and along the shores. Motor boats, yachts and eruisers were among the many score of water craft present in mid-stream to wit- ness the activities, As the cable was raised Into po- sition on tke towers rising 363 feet above the water of the river, the flags of the United States and Canada were broken out from the steel rope and from the tops of the towers. The fleet of aero- nes zoonred over the bridge site d a race between rival motor boat owners took place for the first to cross under the steel cable, J. L. Fozard, vice president and general manager, and J. W. Aus- tin, vice president of the Detroit International Bridge company, builders of the Ambassador Bridge have announced that the Ambas- sador Bridge will be ready for traffic in July, 1929, which will be more than one year before the time originally planned, This is due to the fact that the work in the early days of the construction of the bridge towers and anchor- ages was speeded up because of favorable working conditions. When completed the Ambassador bridge will be approximately 7,- 400 feet in length. Adjoining the .ends of the bridge structure pro- per will be two terminals, each roughly equivalent to a large city block in area, The main span-- between the towers--will be 1,850 feet in length, or 100 feet longer than the Philadelphia-Camden bridge, which is at present the longest suspension bridge in the world, The bridge will carry an unob- structed roadway, ; 47 feet wide, with a capaci; five lanes of traffic, and an ht foot eidewalk, The number of lanes of traffic used in any one direction may be vari- ed to suit trafic conditions.
