The celebration of the “Glorious
12tli” in Exeter on Thursday of last
week stands out as one of the best
in the history of Huron County. The
observance of the 244th Anniversary
of the Battle
ed one of the-
has been seen
years and has
tween 7,000 and 8,000 people.
The Main street was in gay attire
with flags and banners floating in
the breeze and orange and blue
decorations were seen on every
hand.
Forty lodges were represented in
the monster parade which formed
up at the fair grounds, paraded
down William street and up Main
street to the place of -beginning.
Just as the parade .was forming
rain started to fall but fortunately
for the marchers did not amount to
much. South and East of Exeter,
however, a heavy downpour of rain
is reported.
Mounted on the traditional white
steeds James Patton of Clandeiboye,
Huron County Marshall and Mr. E.
Faulder, of McGillivray, County
Master headed the large procession
With flags flying and banners wav
ing all along the Main street the
colorful costumes of the marchers
with their bright and attractive han
dlers presented a .glorious spectacle
as they trooped up the street to the
music of the Dashwood band, the
roll of the many drums, the skirl
of the pipes and the notes from the
fife.
Five different counties were re
presented in the “walk” viz: Hur
on, Middlesex, Perth, Lambton
Oxford.
Woodham Lodge No. 492 of
St'. Marys district was declared
smartest in the celebration.
Woodham lodge took first prize for
the largest lodge in the parade,

the best fife and drummer. David
Beeswax was fifer and Dan Tomigo
drummer in the winning team
Bayfield Lodge No. 24 was second
in the fife and drum contest with-
Lindsay Smith swinging the drum
sticks and James Lindsay handling
the fife.
The Clinton L.O.B.A. Lodge won
special applause and also carried
off the prize for the best dres-sed

trimmed with orange and carried
orange parasols.
Mrs. William Brown, of Usborne,
was the lucky winner of the $L00.-
prize draw staged by the Orange
Girder at the concert in the Opera
House on the evening of July 12'th.
The draw was made by Reeve WT. D.
Sanders. Mrs. Brown, a former resi
dent of Exeter, and now employed
on a farm in Usborne, had the op
tion of a number of prizes including
$100 in groceries and dry goods,

been asked to explain that the stub
of every ticket sold was in the box

cert or not.
