Water for" ced through the base of the foun- tain came out the open mouth of the bird, back down into the top- most bowl, and from there, fell from the Mouths of ten animal heads mounted around the rim, These animals looked more like mountain rams than anything else, From these spouts, the water fell into the loWer basin, and was drained away. The resulting fountain was quite beautiful, and was an attractive spot for visitors to the town. Scar- cely an hour went 147 on a sunny weekend, but what a group of young people, or tourists would find their way there to have their pictures taken, With the fountain in place for so many years, a number of people passed it every day and even after several days had passed since it collapsed, it is quite understand- able that many of them were not aware that it had fallen, But it will be missed. Six years ago, when council was in the process of trying out the old public school buildings for size --they called it the municipal of- fices then, we made a request for more knowledge about this Sidney H. Smith. A reply came from Montreal, ((we think from Cana- da's first dominion statistician, Robert H, Coats), also a former Clinton Boy. We quote from his letter: "Sidney Smith was one of the biggest cattle dealers in Huron in a day when many farmers "finish- ed" steers for the British market and drove the elephantine animals to town for shipment by rail, This Was long before trucks were in- lb. 29c av, lb. 39c lb. 29c lb. 73C vented and the huge animals could not travel more than I should guess two or three miles an hour, The weight lost in transit from stall to market must have been great, and, combined with the un- fair British slaughter regulations, helped to kill the industry in Can- ada, "Mr. Smith was the biggest deal- er in cattle in more ways than one. He was inches over six feet and With a girth even more than pro- portionate to his height. He lived in Clinton for some years and ev- entually bought ,the former Robert Coats property on the Bayfield road, where he died not long after- ward. "He married Miss Penelope Mc- Hardy, a brilliant pianist and, or- ganist, who taught fnusic in Chu. ton for some years. Unless I am very much mistaken on this point —and I think I am not—it was she who had the fountain erected to her husband's memory some years after his death." This then is the sum-total of whath we know about the fountain in the library park. It cannot be repaired, It'was of, a type of met- al which cannot be welded. Besides this, the wings of the long-necked bird are shattered. The whole thing seems to have been held by four metal rods in the base, which (though a good inch through at the top), had rusted away to a thin point at the bottom. It is possible that for many months, the only thing holding the struc- ture was the waterpipe up through the centre. What will take its place on Library Park?
