There are the mem- _bers of the Arm Chair Fleet and there are those up and coming youngsters who do things and go places. There are salt waters to sail in this country and there are fresh waters too. There are [ia! waters and snug protected bays and there are rip roaring cross fire waters that tax the ability. strength, judgment and nerve of the men who sail them ana tic boats they man. Saturday was a day of changes --sunshine, calm, rain and gales; but none of these held any tor- rors for the contestants in the last of the series of races at tho Oshawa Yacht Club for the first year's possession of the Conant Cup. Seven boats got away to a rather slow start on the gun. Jim McLellan and his crew, R. Wallace, had the silverware a'! tucked away on points in the ser- jes if: -- the rest of the bunch 'were just watching one anotier, jockeying for position and inci- dentally for points, Each skir- per seemed to have a private fight on with some one else and was out in this, the last of the series, to prove the superiori'y of his own ability, the.ability of his crew and the fleetn®ss of his boat over that ef his own private rival, Bill Hart in his number 14 got away first and seemed destined to lead the bunch all the way (which he did). The rest stay- ed together to the first buoy off Bluff Point and they rounded that turn with only a few seconls separating them, The run to windward was a different sort .f experience though from the us- ual. Rain fell in torrents, there was no protection, and the wind whipped up the seas to sizeab!: proportions. The boats got sep- arated and were never together again, The wind dropped to a'- most a calm and skippers fished | for a breeze to carry them along on the swell.

NEW YORK BUYER TRIES T0 SECURE TURNIP SUPPLIES Arranges/ Weekly Ship- ments Out of Oshawa Harbour by Water An effort is being made by a New York buver, who is working through the Oshawa Chamber of Commerce and the Agricultural Representative of the Ontario Government, W. M. Croskeéry, of Uxbridge, to obtain 2,000 tons of turnips from the growers of this district. As reported in this paper last week it was the original inten- tion of the buyers to make up a full cargo of turnips, but this has been found impossible owing to inadequate #orage accommoda- tion at the Oshawa Harbour, but plans have now been perfected whereby the turnips will be ship- ped from this port at the rate of 200 tons every week over a per- fod of ten weeks. One of the fleet of canal boats operating between 'New York and Buffalo will be diverted to Osha- wa each week to pick up this extra cargo and carry it to New York. The farmers are being offered full market price for this pro- duce, at the present time placed at nine cents a bushel, plus the cost of haulage to the O:hawa Harbour. Growers report one the finest turnip ereps for many years in the northern section of Ontario County, and in spite of the opinions expressed by C. 8S. Robinson, chief fruit and vege- table inspector for the Dominion Government in Eastern Ontario and Quebec, as reported in The Times on Friday of last week, it fs expected that there will be lit- tle difficulty in meeting the re- quiremens of the New York buy- er. of RAILWAYMEN BACK TO WORK Winnipeg, Sept. 19. --- Eigh- teen hundred employees of the Canadian Nationa) Railways, laid off during the decreases in rai'- way traffic, are today back at various centres to help handic the grain traffic.

W. McClellan, of Oshawa Yacht Club, in Saturday's race for the Conant Trophy. Mr. Rodden highly commends the actions of Mr, McClellan in this race, and under the heading, "What Price Good Sportsmanship," he pays the local sailor the following tri- bute :-- "Examples of real sportsmanship, alas, are not such common things in Canadian sports that th ey cease to be news. In fact, the lack of them is what makes such examples outstanding and worth- while, t Oshawa on Saturday, in the final yacht race for the Conant" Cup, held by the members of the Oshawa Yacht Club, J.

Spite of Unfavorable Weather | (Specal to The Times) Port terry, Sept. 19--In spite of a heavy raimall, which intereicred to 2 lar 'e extent with the program of events, there was a splendid at- tendance at the Port Perry Fair on Saturday, The exhibits were well up to the Port Perrv standard in both quality and quantity, the fruit and vegetables being exceptionally good, while the domestic science section brought forth an excellent variety of displays and keen competition, There was also the usual splendid showing of live iwek, for which the Port Perry 1 d. and the visitors to the 2'r braved the elements to admire the fine horses whic. were in 'the rng, «3 Hoi show One biz disappointment was the cancellation of the horse races, this being necessary owing to the slip- pery condition of the track after the heavy rain which fell during the afternoon. The baseball pro- gram, however, was partly plaved off, Port Perry deteating Little Brittain by 7 to 0 in the first game, while in the second Sunderland de- feated Sulton in a keenly-contest- ed game by 3 runs to 1. The third and final game, between Port Perry and Sunderland, had just got nice- lv started when it was stopped by the. rain, with the te@ms tied. One game of girls' softball was played, in which the Port Perry girls 'defeated the Scugog girls by a score of 13 to 7. The horseshoe pitching contest brought out eight teams of two, players each. First place went to George Walwin, of Whitby, and C, Whitney, of Columbus, who were teamed together, The McLaughlin Brothers, Ray and Russell, of Burketon, were in second place, while third place went to James Daniels and Norman Brown, of Toronto.

Some of the younger children, many of them new pupils who had not been through a previous drill, were in tears and rather excited, but the control exercised by the teachers left nothing to be desired and there were no signs of panic in any class, "The children filed out of the school entrance into the pouring rain like little soldiers," said the Fire Chief. : School Closed The school was closed for the day following a visit' hv Inspector Cannon and Harvey Fuller, sec- retary of the Board of Educa- tion, to permit of a thorough in- spection of all the electric wiring in order to discover any defects which may have been caused in the system. The greatest shock was felt in Miss Doan's class room, immedi- ately beneath the spot where the bolt struck, evidence of this fact being very clear by the manner in which the pupils, apparently, dropped books and pencils in their hurry to fall in line and take their proper place on fire drill.

A.D. ROBB A strong plea on behalf of the toreign-bor,, people of Canada, and for a closer fellowship with them, in order that they might absorb Canadian ideals of living and citi- zenship, was made from the pulpit of St. Andrew's United Church on Sunday morning bv the minister, Rev. A. D. Robb. Using as his text the words, "But the stranger that dwelleth with you shall be unto you as one horn among you, and thou shalt 10ve him as *%-=ol{." + Mr, Robb urged his hearers to realize that they had a direct responsibility lands. Those who came {tom 'T.urape, said Mr. Robb. had heen accustom- ed to very different environment, customs and habits from those pre- vailing in this country, When they came to Canada, they stayed in colonies by themselves, larzely on this account, because thev wanted to be with peanle of the sume language and with the same ideas. \ towards those who came from other, Thus, in the larger cities, there were distinct colonies of foreign- born people, to whom the church - was trying to minister. These people, said the minister, had their own ideas of living, of politics, of sanitation, and of citi- zenship. They came to this coun- try because they had been told of what a splendid country it was, be- cause they wanted to be free from the customs and laws of their own lands, Now they were here, thoy were (g8ing ta stay here, he said, and church had a (lstinct resnon- sibility for helpinz them to better Canadia,, citizenship. In the next few generations, their children and their children's children would he Canadian children, and would be just the same as all .other Cana dians, so it was essential that there should be a greater friendship for the foreign-born, and that everv- thing possible should be done t- make them feel the touch of brotherhood in their new lands
