IN MEMORIAM MILLER--In loving memory of Rhea Miller, who passed away Sept, 23rd, 1929.

Canadiens Win Over Cornwall Cornwall, Sept. 23.--The old enmity between Montreal Cana- forth again last night when they battled in an Internftional Pro- tessional Lacrosse League fix- ture which meant much to Cana- diens. Newsy Lalonde's Montreal- ers took a 6 to 2 victory which, in view of the Maroon defeat at Toronto last might, sent them into second place in the league standing. Spasmodic rough play series of near ripts marréd the game, which started out as one of the best matches seen in the ing chapter Cornwall held Cana- diens to a 2 to 2 tie and outplay- ed the visitors throughout, Cana- stanza and went two goals into the leaf, They added another pair in the third to cap the triumph. The Cornwalls lacking Bouch- er, star defenceman who was called to Baltimore last Thursday ter, and Rube Whitford, referees at nevertheless put up a good bal- Ite. © With few substitutes, the players were forced to stay in the game with few rest periods and their tempers were on edge under nasty checking in the third period. . Klein Improves A day of inaction proved cost- ly for 'Chick' Hafey and Jim Bottomley as they remained out of yesterday's game with Brook- lyn. A semi-official revision of the figures took one hit away from Hafeys total, and reduced it three points to .350, leaving him only one point ahead of Bill Terry. Meanwhile 'Chuck' Klein got a pair of hits and brought his mark up a point to tie Bottom- ley for third place in the Na- tional League. Al Simmons took advantage of an off day for his American League rivals to add two points to his margin, bring- ing his average up to .391 with two hits in three times up. Standing: G. A.B. R. H. PC.

Jimmy Foxx hit his thirtieth 8341 'thome run of the year with two on base in the fifth inning, to give the champions .three runs that set them off to a 4 to 0 getaway.

Toronto, Bowmanville, Osh awa, Peterboro, and Lindsay Ro- tary Clubs will be guests of the Government at the school on that ny. One of the big features of the fair will be the plowing match in which a record number of en- {ries are expected. This was a hig drawing card last year and as the prize list has been extended this year, it is expected to be an even bigger drawing card. It is hoped that the Band of the Canadian Legion will also be in attendance. The biggest display of apples ever seen in Bowmanville is ex- pected to be shown in the Gym- rasium Building, where all the finest orchards in the district will te represented, In the evening a Music Festi- vali will be staged in Ferguson Hall and so numerous hava heen the entries for the various events in the festival that preliminaries will be required and will be run off on Tuesday next, There are classes in the festival for school choirs, solo voices, solo harmon- jcag and harmonica bands, The public is cordially invited diens and the Cornwalls flared | and a | Local Box this year, In the open- | diens pepped up in the second | in view of the illness of his sis- | who i8 | under suspension for punching a | Montreal last week, !

Groves, manager of | | Kingsway Nurseries, Bowman- i ville, has just returned from the Annual Convention at Atlantic City, of the Florists' Telegraph Delivery Association, an organi- zation with which he has been connected for several years. This unique Association, established | for the delivery of flowers In | other cities and countries, now | has over 5,000 members in the | United States and Canada.

Lyons & Co, (Canada), | Locked in Public Library, Two OPEN VERDICT Citizens Used Window to Escape Inquest Held on Unknown Man Found Drowned in Lake Ontario An open verdict was returned by a jury sitting under County Coroner V. H. Storey in the council room last night to in- vestigate the circumstances of the death of an unknown man whose body was found at Bow- manville Beach some weeks ago. Evidence was given by two men who first saw the body floating in the water on the east side of the lighthouse pier. Chief of Police Venton told of bringing the body to the undertaking par- Jours to Northcutt and Smith where a preliminary inquest was held, The body, it was believed had been in the water several weeks, and there was nothing on the man, in the way of papers to identity him, A description of the man, and the clothes he was wearing was broadcast through the press and Chief of Police Venton received several enquir- jes but the identity of the man sti], remained a mystery and probably always will. As no one came to claim the body it was interred at the expense of the town in the Bowmanville Ceme- tery. The body when brought in was very badly decomposed, and it was almost impossible to iden- tify any likeness in the man's features, His clothes however were of a nice quality, and he appeared to be a well bred man. He had a perfect set of natural teeth and splendidly manicured nails. The inquest only lasted a short time, HEAVY FINE GIVEN ON LIQUOR CHARGE | | Ben Soskin, of Toronto, was | fined $500 and costs when he appeared before Magistrate Alan Campbell, in Bowmanville Police | Court yesterday charged with having liquor other than that purchased from a government vendor. Soskin was arrested last week when a traffic officer stop- ped him at Newcastle and in- spected his Ford Coupe in which he found 275 bottles of assorted liquors. Soskin was arrested and placed in the cells in Bowman- ville and was remanded the next day when he appeared - before Magistrate Campbell, NO FIRE CALLS No fire calls have been received by the fire department within the past two days and the firemen are finding things rather quiet. So much stress is now laid on fire prevention that it would seem to be having re- number of fires. COURT DID NOT SIT As there were no cases schedul- ed for today, the police court did not hold a session. The usual num- ber of spectators gathered in the court and were disappointed when they learned that there was nothing dojng today .

Hospital Team Won Brockville, -- Befora a large crowd of fans on Saturday after- roon, Ontario Hospital soccer team defeated Rockspring reven goals to two in a schedu'e game of the Fulford Char-Cup series. The game was played on the hos- pital grounds and despite the one- sided nature of the scores was an interesting contest to watch. Annual School Fair Toledo-- Wednesday, the 16th inet,, was the children's day in this district, the occasion being the annual school fair which was held just west of the village. Doubtless perfect weather condi- tions contributed in a marked degree to the success of the ga- tbering, but keen interest and en- thusiasm on the part of the pupils ss well as the elders, made this fair one of the best.

LONDON STOCK MARKET HOPEFUL (Continued from page 1) suepension of the gold standard Although the pound sterling, (#4.87 par) was quoted officially as low as #4.10 abroad, there was confidence that the re-open- ing of the exchange would be comparatively calm and without further danger to the British fi- parcial position. There undoubtedly will be a slight advance in prices in the near future as a result of the de- preciation of the pound sterling (which increases the cost of im- parts), but Government yesterday reiterated its determination to prevent profiteering, and also aa- nounced treasury orders restriots jag dealings in foreign exchange ny British subjects, Libited until further notice, ex- cept for purposes of normui (rad- itg for contracts existing before vesterday, or for reasonable tra. velling or other personal pur- poses, Passes Guillotine Bill The House of Commons, vote of 283 to 216, apprevel the "guillotine" resolution to expe- dite passage through various rtages of the Finance Bill and the National Economy Bill, which will make effective the ec nomy program adopted by the Govern- ment to balance the budgat Well-Known Man Dies Cornwall.
