Crmed Prize The Grimsby Robins journeyed to Hamilton on Saturday to meet the 9lst Highlanders in a H. & D. League fixture. The game, which had to be abandoned ten minutes after half time owing to the storm, was full of life and action and showed the little band of faithfuls that the boys are fast pulling into shape. The Kilties goal- keeper received plenty ot exercise and but for his good work the Highlanders would have been beaten on many oc- casions. After the interval it was very noticeable that the Kiltie eleven were weakening and only the storm king prevented the locals from bring- ing a couple of points home with them.

N. R. team in Hamilton, and any supporters wishing to acedm- pany the team will be accommodated if they will meet at the arena at 2 p.m. sharp. An effort will be made by Grimsby Chamber of Commerce to secure an athletic field for Grimsby, upon which the various ball teams of the town can hold their games and other athletic events can be held. At the directors meeting of the Chamber on Wednesday night last G. Arthur Payhe brought the question up and after discussion various sites that would be suitable for the pur- pose a committee was named to look at different properties and to find out the cost of making a suitable field or park out of them and to report at the next meeting of the board. Grimsby is in a bad way for a good sports ground and the idea is one that should receive the hearty sup- port of all the sport loving people of the town and district. The drawing competition which took place in Moore's theatre on April Mth resulted as follows-Ist prize, No. 52; 2nd prize, No. 501; 3rd prize, 402 and 4th prize, 601. To date only the second and fourth prizes have been claimed, and any person holding tickets No. 52 or 402 will receive the respective prizes upon presenting the tickets at Farrell's Shoe Store. l FOOTBALL NEWS Grimsby The holders of the winning tickets were 501, Mr. E.

The Parliament of. Queensland Australia, has recently passed an act establishing a fruit-marketing corporation. The organization established by the new law will be an incorporated committee of pro- duction assisted by local organiza- tions and sectional group commit- tees. Th's committee is author- ized to take over the control of all branches of the fruit industry and the transport and marketing of the crops. The act will remain in force for three years, when a vote may be taken at the request of 500 growers, as to whether the act shall be continued. The sectional committees will comprise banana, pineapple, citrus and deciduous fruit growers. The committee of production will han- dle the fruit crops and make all arrangements in regard to finance. The committee will be in a posi- tion to speak for the whole in- dustry and to make terms satis- factory to the growers. I.

Mr. Acheson proved a decided ac- quisition to the troupe and appeared in many items. ' Mr. T. A. Sims appeared twice and gave every indication that he has a talent for. his work.

Appointed on the motion of Hon. John S. Martin, Minister of Agricul- ture, the committee held its first meeting Tuesday at the Parliament Buildings for organization purposes only, and discussed a general itiner- ary, which it is proposed to follow during the Legislature recess. Many of its sittings will be held at Central points outside Toronto, handy to the spokesmen of surrounding agrieul- tural districts. The scope of the committee's In- vestigations is very wide, taking in all matters concerning the social, ed- ucational and economic' conditions surrounding the agricultural. live stock and dairying interests of the Province. It is proposed to study thoroughly production. packaging, standardizing, shipment, transporta-. tion. marketing and other branches of handling the products of these in- dustries, and, in tact, any matters that the committee deems to have an immediate bearing upon rural Ontario'g general welfare. The information to be gathered and the reports to be made are intended to enable the Government to prepare plans and suggest methods looking toward the improvement of existing conditions, both in the interest of the producer and of the consumer. An- other phase of the investigation looks to more effectual co-operation be- tween urban and rural population for the progress and stability of the agri, cultural industry, as well as the gen- eral prosperity of the Province. Dr. Jamieson Chairman Dr. Jamieson, Conservative member tor Grey, has been appointed chair-. man of the committee, the other memu hers, all of whom were in attendance, ‘be‘ing Messrs. T1vupoa,1rpi,s,,,uitg,gh,ar2s2t, Belanger and Lethbridge. The dis-, cussion of the afternoon centred upon organization of the work to be done. Hon. Mr. Martin was in attendance, and placed before the committee his views as to what might be most help- ful. In Grimsby Upon the motion of Mr. MacBride it was agreed to upon the itinerary of the committee at the Agricultural College at Guelph, on Tuesday the 6th and Wednesday the 7th of May. to study affairs at the Provincial insti- tution. The committee will be in Hamilton and Grimsby on Thursday and Friday, May 8 and 9. The com- mittee will be in Brantford on Thurs- day, the 15th, and in the Town of Simcoe on Friday, the 16th at 2 p.111.

Country for Apples--- ' Canada's Fine Display sale In the Australian pavilion alone fifteen tons of dessert apples were sold in the first week, and the super- visor is erecting additional stalls to meet the demand. An average of a thousand Java seedless oranges are sold daily in the Palestine pavilion and a half million of these oranges have been supplied to the Exhibition restaurants. These are the only oranges on sale at Wembley, pending the arrival of Australian and African oranges. Fruit-eating is so popular among visitors to the Exhibition that the authorities have been "compelled to supply special bins in various pavil- ions tor disposal of apple cores and orange peel.
