An aggressive campaign is being inaugurated, with every member of the force instructed to jo Boy up on all trick bicycle rid- ing on his beat. Among the chief offences against which the police force will combat, Chief Friend mentioned riding bicycles on the sidewalks, riding without a rear light or reflector, rid- ing with two persons, "hitching on" to automobiles, and "smart alec" rid- ing without hands on the handle bars. All of these offences are covered by city bylaws, and while minimum penalties will. probably be stiffened up, the chief. , Twelve summonses have already been issued, and another dozen were being issued today. Each day will see another batch of summonses put into force until the practices are stopped, it was stated at police head- quarters, Chief Friend pointed out that all of these regulations were for the rotection of the riders of bicycles. fe pointed out one case that he had 'observed out in the county on a provincial highway, where a bicycle 'rider was hitching on to a truck and eing drawn along at 50 miles per hour.

It is to stamp out dangerous practices like these that the campaign was being inaugurated, he said.

CIRCUS PROVIDED OSHAWA CITIZENS WITH GOOD SHOW Enthusiastic Audiences Vis- ited Big Tent on Sat- urday THRILLING STUNTS Kiddies of City and District Had Big Time at the Afternoon Show Amusing acts, comic clowns and thrilling stunts merged into a high- ly entertaining show at the two performances of Sparks Circus here on Saturday. Circus day, the red letter day of childhood, was here again, providing merriment for the children and the grown-ups too, who turned back the clock by many decades to again experience all the thrills and excitement of their own childhood when the en- cus came to town. The afternoon performance was patronized by a full house, the au. dience in the evening being some- what smaller, but evertheless, ene thusiastic. The acts all received hearty applause, and indeed merit- ed it, for the audience was hetd spellbound by spectacles of animals performing seemingly impossiple feats, and acrobats doing hair- rais- ing stunts in the three large rings. The firs act was one calculated to command attention. High kicse- ing horses sent large medicine balls bounding into the crowd, and un- lucky was the won who was pay- ig too much attention to his lauy companion and didn't see it com- ing, and experienced the shock ur having it bounce off his head. Clever Animal Acts The three wild animal acts in the central ring, surrounded by a stout steel cage, provided the usual thrills, First was the performing leopard act, when several of the snarling, ferocious beasts v/ere put through their paces by a réprightly maiden who seemed to control them with ease. The crowning feature of the act was when she allowed one of them to pounce upon her back and to the ground from a high perch--a somewhat dangerous feat, it would be judged. Lions, shak- ing their shaggy manes and roar- ing their defiance, supplied the next feature in the animal ring, giving evidences of clever training in the several tricks that they per- formed. Exceptionally good was he performance of the group of tigers, in jumping feats and other tricks in obedience to the cume mands of their trainer. Acrobatic Stunts Well executed acrobatic stunts were another feature of the show. These included several aerial feats performed just under the roof of the big tent. Tumbling acts and mat work were also well done. One of the most interesting acts was that of the trained esals, one of which gave a trumpet solo. An- other one of these animals gave a fine exhibition of juggling. Jump- ing whippet dogs, one of which did an outstanding high jump, per forming ponies, trained elephants, and high and' broad jumping horses, all added to the entertaiu- T | ing factors of the show. Then there were the usuaul side shows and froaks to be seen, and considerable interest was evidence ed in the array of animals outside the main tent. With everything from camels to polar bears on dis- play. Unesimated quantities of lemonade and soft drinks, and bus- hels of pop corn and peanuts were consumed, and Oshawa had a good time, in general.

The number of pioneers who had helped in this great work was many and the graves of these people which were in the ceme- teries were all visited, In speaking about these pioneers at the service in the church, Rev. R. Vicks, the Minister of Hampton United Church, said, "In looking through some old deeds of Hampton lately I read of a number of men who made great contributions to this section of the country, Listed among the names of these great pioneers are the names of Henry Elliott, Wil- liam Allan, Thomas Clarke, Thomas Warde, William Such, James Johns, Ezra Cryderman, and many others, who have gone to their reward.

REUNION HELD BY THE WEIR FAMILY Pioneer of Scarboro Recalled at Grandson's' Homestead Agincourt, June 24 ~The descend- ants of James Weir, early Scarboro' pioneer, held their first reunion at the omestead of his grandson, Ex- Deputy Reeve J. M. T. Weir, at Brown's Corners on Saturday. 4 The gathering brought many from all over the Dominion to commem- orate the settlement of their progeni- tor in Scarboro', Born a few miles from Glasgow, Scotland, in the year 1814, the pioneer came to Canada as a lad of nineteen summers, with his mother, three brothers and four sisters, Settling in "Muddy York," young James went 'out to Scarboro' as a hired, man, where after some experience he made the clearing for his own homestead off the Kennedy Road. He was short- ly afterward married to Janet Muir a family connection of Alexander Muir of "The Maple Leaf Forever" fame, whom he first met at the home of his sister, the mother of the pres- ent Sheriff of York, Alex. McCowan. The couple had thirteen children born to them, eight boys and five girls. Today the family tree accounts also for thirty-two grandchildren, fifty-two great-grandchildren and one great-great grandchild, James Weir earned fame as a plow- man, and was a prominent figure in the earliest plowing matches in the County of York. To this day his de- scendants follow in his trail, and the family hold a large number of cups and medals won in plowing matches. James M. T. Weir, his grandson, at whose home today's celebration was held, was a member of Scarboro' Township Council for six years. Never tell , a married man to make himself at home--it might Sparks circus.

PROMPT ARRIVAL OF FIRE BRIGADE SAVES FARM HOME Fire Destroys Shed in North Oshawa--Implements All Removed (BY Staff Correspondent) North Oshawa, June 24, -- The rpmpt arrival of the Oshawa Fire Brigade probably saved the resi- denec of Robert Brown, farmer, residing two miles north-east of Ross' Corners, when his imple- ment shed took fire early Sunday morning and the flames threatened to spread to adjoining buildings. Through the 'action of the fire company the blaze was conriueu ww one section of the shed and all con- tents of the building, including one buggy, a set of sleighs and two setting hens were removed intact, The origin of the fire is un- known but the family was first aroused at 1.30 o'clock by a pass- er-by 'who happened to see the flame as he was walking along the An alarm was immediately sent nto Oshawa and the brigade arrived with the motor pumper in ten minutes. Fortunaely water was avallable in 8 gravel pit situ- ated close by and presently a strong stream was playing upon the conflagration. The firemen confined the flames t one section of the building and were able to prevent their spread, : The loss s estimated at $100 partly covered by insurance. THE REASON . "Why do you work so hard?" "I'm too nervous to steal."--Olla- pod. Buyers of cars are more particular nowadays than they used to be, are they not?" we asked. "Oh, yes," responded the dealer, "While they used to ask all sorts of questions about the mechanism, pow- er and so forth, now all they want to know is, "What is absolutely the lowest advance payment I must make ?" "The man with the ear of the pub- lic will get on" says a writer. It might pay him better to get the leg of the public--and pull it. Ambassador Dawes found King George "delightful."
