The home course lay over Rock Mills, and when getting away the flyers went out Stone's Line way over Ceylon, then 4iuck and circled a couple of times over the crowd, on the la«it trip flying quite low, and departed with hat waving and cheers from the hundreds who wit- nessed (heir departure. It was an event here that will be long remembered by the young, even though the visits of air craft should become in future years is common as autos are today. \ UDl<iue entertiinment, or celebration as you will, was held iu Flesherton on Saturday evening, Sept. 1st. Owing to the fact th-it so many young men were away at the front, and the necessity for boystotak:^ their places on the farm, the government considered it advisable to recognize this work, and consequently are distributing badges to those boys who helped on the farms thii p.'ist summer. Some thirty boys received the bad;<es here, represtnting the 'township of Artemesia. The badges were presented by A. _W. Geddes, Y.M.CA. Secretary of Hanover. Among those who touk part were the clergy of Flesherton and Markdale, and Mr. Sidenlus of CoUing- wood. The program included pleasing made duets by Messrs.

G. P. McFarland, oommanding officer of the old 147th Battalion and now second in command of the 4th C M. R's at the front, giving complete information about the winding up of the all'airs of the first Grey Battalion . The letter follows : Dear Mr. Warden,â€" Now that the l47ih Greys Battalion has been absorbed and lost its identity, except iu the hearts of its members and their friends, I desiie to explain to you, and ^through ycu to the County Council and the people of Grey the disposition which has been made of the property and assets of the battalion, most of which came to us through their generosity. I trust that it is clear to you that the fact that the battalion did not go to France as a unit was due to no lack of elfician:y, but simply to the exigencies of the military situation at the lime when we landed iu England. The reputation of the battalion in Canad-.i is well known to you, and while it remained a unit in England that reputation was fully sus- tained and even enhanced. The oflicers commanding the battalions to which the Grey men have gone as reinf.ircements have assured me that chey could not wish to have better soldiers serving under them. I can add also my personal testi.nony to their worth, for I am serv- ing at the present time in a battalion which contains several hundreds of them. As for the assets of the battalion, they have been disposed of as follows : AH equipment which we did not bring ovo" from Canada, consisting of mess tents, motor truck, etc., were turned over to thn 24dth Battalion by order of the Warden then in office, Mr. Cordlngly with whom I discussed the situation as soon as the 147th was warnad overseas The equipment which was broueht to England, consisting uf tents, olfice fur- niture, typewriters, brass band instr-r- inents, etc., were turued over on loan to the d h Reserve Battalion when the 147lh WHS absorbed by that battalion. These articles remain the property of the 14<)th Battalion, I considered this a proper course to pursue in view of the fact that the 8th Reserve Bn. was for both the 147th and 248 and therefore all (ha men of these two unites remain in that battalion until they go to France, and return to it if for any reason they are sent back to England from France. All documents and records of the battalion, representing the history of the organization and training, have been shipped by me to His Honor Judge Sutherland, senior judi>e of the county of Grey, and he or his euccessor in office will have the custody of them until a final disposition can be made of them at the end of the war. The same course has been followel in the case of tho bugle band instruments, which weri* not required by the 8th Reserve Battalion. The battalion colors have been depositea in the Catliedral St. Nicholas, Newcastle on Tyne, until the eud of the war, when they will be taken back to the County of Grey and such disposition made of thoni us the County Council m.ay decide upon . At the time of the departure of the 147th Battalion from Canada there were certain moneys on deposit to the credit of the Canteen and Regimental funds. Part of this money was left in Canada and the balanco was brought overseas, part WIS spent for c.\.tra food f)r the men, before the battalion was absorbed, and chiefly at Christmas and New Years. The balance was turned over to the 8th Reserve Battalion canteen fund, a similar sum being likewise contributed by the other battalions which were absorbed by the 8th. The money left behind in Canada, amounting to just under $1000, has been transferred by trust deed to three trus- tees to 1)0 expanded for the benefit of nee^y dependoiilis of the men of tl>e b*lt«lion. The trustees are Mayor Little uf Owen Sound, Dr. Da^-iil J.-imieson of Durham, and Mr. Daniel McT,.vish of Floshoilon, all of whom are repr.'seiita- live nuH, aii^ men who have tukon a keen interest in the battalion tinco its inorption.
