She leaves a family of four The people of Flesherton are very much pleased over the success of the fourth anual Santa Claus day and the committee in charge reports a larger attendaace than last year, there being 650 youngster* in town. This is re- markable in view of the fact that Markdale also had a counter attraction a numberthe same aftemooniteheree the same aftamoon, and quite a num- ber of families were qoarantined fos measles and mumps in the surround- ing district. Santa had a real busy day racing around and amusitig the youngsters. The mysterious shopper waa Mr. Carl HTimberstone of the East Mountain and he was caught at 2 p.m. by Miss Florence Welton, who addressed him correctly and won the prize of |5. Perhaps the feature that attracted the most attention was the cat and dog exhibit put on by T. W. Findlay. There were 88 cats on exhibition and six dogs competed in the races. There were black cats, brown, grey and white cats, yellow cats, spotted cats, long- tailed cats and short-tailed cats cats with long hair and cats with short hair, percheronr^-no, Per- sian â€" cats, Canadian and U. S. cats, oats that spit and cats that chew. We heard a lot of them chewing. There were sedate cats and comical cats. The only varieties not present were bob cats and cat-o'-nine tails. They a gentlemanly and lady-like bunch of cats. We did not hear one of 'em use a cuss word, such as is in- dulged in by some disreputable felines at night on the back fence. On account of the large crowd it was impossible to declare a winner in an interesting dog race, as the crowd sursred in on the course and blocked the track, but everyone was pleased, as there were some real dog fights staged. Mr. Findlay is award- ing prizes to all those taking part in the races and hopes that even more will competf next year. The com- mittee wish to thank everyone who contributed in money or in any other way to make the annual day a suc- cess for the children. A kind invita- tion is extended to everyone to come back again next year. Following are the winners in the cat and dog exhibit: The village council met on Friday' evening, December 16th, to wind up; the business of the year, which consis-! ted mostly in the passing of accounts.
