In or- der to protect the fish from ex- termination, no one is supposed to molest them during the breeding season, but it is alleged that sev~- eral fine big pike have been caught at the harbor this spring.

Tebbs of Burl- ington Showed Some In- teresting Pictures (By Staff Reporter) Bowmanville, April 16.--Those who failed to attend the lecture by Rev. G. W, Tebbs in St. Paul's Lec- ture Room on Monday evening un- der the auspices of the Horticul- tural Society missed not. only a most interesting talk but a trip through most enchanting Canadian and English gardens as shown by exquisite colored pictures thrown on the screen., Before beginning his talk on the gardens, Mr, Tebbs told of the won- derful progress that had been made by the Ontario Horticultural Soci- eties. There are now over 300 so- cleties having a membership of over 80,000 in this province, In two years' time the 25th anniversary of the Ontario Horticultural Socie- ties will be celebrated and Mr, Tebbs thought no more fitting way to celebrate it could be devised than by increasing the membership to 100,000 and urged that each so- ciety do thelr best to reach this number. The first set of pictures shown were of Canadian gardens and were confined mostly to Burling- ton, Mr. Tebbs' home town, which, by the way, must be a very beau- tiful spot im summer time. He showed how, through the efforts of the local society, numerous places that were veritable "dumps" had heen transformed into beauty spots by the generous use of flowers and shrubs. Also buildings, such as the town pump house, were made beau- tiful in the same way. Back yards were also made quite as attractive a8 the front lawns. Mr. Tebbs then took his audi- ence to England and it was a posi- tive 'delight to, in fancy, wander through the exquisite gardens. These were, of course, on a much larger and more elaborate scale in- cluding Italian, sunken, Chinese and various other styles of gardens, est amount of money in coppers.' and subscriptions will be received at the Bowmanville Office of The Times, Telephones--Office, 587; REPRESENTATIVE--MISS MARGARET CLIMIE. not 'the least interesting of which were the ones containing all the old: fashioned flowers which were a' perfect riot of color. One regrets ted coming to the last picture, Throughout his lecture, Mrs Tebbs interjected delicious bits of humor which kept the audience in ripples of laughter. " Before the close of the meeting a very high tribute was paid to the late Dr. Baldwin by J. H. H, Jury and Mr. Tebbs, though not a mem ber of the society, asked to have the honor of seconding his remarks as the last time he visited Bows manville, he was entertained by Dr. Baldwin and wished to expresg his high regard for him. Dr, Best also added his tribute to the ster ling qualities of Dr, Baldwin and spoke of the great loss, not only to the Horticultural Society, but to the community at large. Mr. Jury's remarks included a motion that a letter of sympathy be sent to Mrs. Baldwin, which was unanimoukly carried. April 15th was the last day for receiving members for this year's society but it was decided to extend the time till April 25th so that any one wishing to join and take advantage of the premiums offered may do so up till that date, BOWMANVILLE BRIEFS (By Staff Reporter) ' Mr. and Mrs. E.
