volume 2 no 18 stouffville ont friday july 19 1s89 whole number 73 garden party the beautiful grounds of mrs monk house at the east end were visitors and pleasureseelers tuesday even ing last it being- the occasion of the prosbyterian gardenparty the grounds were illuminated with chinese lanterns and the proceedings enlivened by the stirring music of our popular and efficient band an abundance of good provisions was temptingly dis played on the tables and promptly sampled and icecream and lemonade galore disappeared under the genial influence of a warm sun and generous hearts the ladies are to be congratu lated on the success of their party a kiokek not that the horse was an habitually constitutionally and hereditarily vicious kicker for he was never known to do such a thing betore but he selected this occasion when the young man had two young ladies driv ing with him and as the trio were driving along beside another rig not racing mind you the horse incontin ently kicked up his heels and broke the shaft which necessitated the removal of the ladies to the other fellows buggy and the broken vehicle to the carriage shop all this occurred near siouffvillo not very long ago the young man can realize somewhat the feelings of the poet when he ex claimed i never took my girl to church the longest way round home to plan but what she left me in the lurch and went home with some other man an example needed for a num ber of years it has been the custom of the boys of the village to make boycrs pond a place 6f resort for boating and swimming until this year when mrb was compelled for the safety of his premises and the fcelinsrs of his family to forbid bathing entirely and boating on sundays which he was perfectly right in doing but boys have an ex aggerated notion of thoir rights and having enjoyed too much liberty they imagined themselves wrongedand last sunday a number of them visited the pond and not being able to find the oars and use the boat they proceeded to revenge themselves by smashing the inside of the boat which they did to their complete satisfaction and in a manner worthy of a band of mohawks the owner who by the way has been very kind to visitors and has put up with a lot of annoyances should prose cute these vanaals and teach them a lesson in meum and mini which might be of benefit to others as an example no one has any pity for boys who have so little sense of right as to trespass on and destroy property in this manner travellers guide ins leave stouftville station main line anj sutton branch as follows going west sutton
