Several from Wingham were in attendance. -The Calgary Herald, of a recent issue, has the following reference to a former resident of Wingham: "The improvements now being made at the residence of Mr. IL W. C. Meyer, Q. C., will rank that property as one of the handsomest in the eastern suburb of Calgary. Its location on the Bow river, and the luxuriant ap- pearance of the grounds, go to show that Mr. Meyer, though only a comparatively late arrival, has evidently faith enough in the country to induce him to permanently cast in his lot amongst us." ours in Toronto. • By the recen hangs in time Can- adian Pacific Ra ay'smornin: rain leav- ing Wingham at 0 a. m. .d arriving in Toronto at 10.35, w • rd residents of our town seven hours 4 he Queen's City, as the return night am eaves Toronto at 5.25 p. m.
