A dis patch from Elora to the Guelph Mer cury tells of a presentation to Mr. Gambrill before his departure. Elora, April 15,-—The choir mem bers of the Flora United Church were the supper guests last night, in the Sunday School room, of Women’s Association, These gatherings, which have come annual events, are most joyable affairs and mark the appre ciation of the congregation of the splendid services which the choir render the church. Last night’s gathering served also as a farewell to the- organist and choir master, Robert Gambrill, who leaves shortly to assume a like position in the United church at Palmerston, Mr. Gamlbrill was con sidered a most competent and ener getic official and had been connect ed with the Elora congregation for the past five yeairjs. During the- evening he was made the recipient of two beautiful gifts, a heavy leather club bag from the congreg ation and a fountain pen from the “Canadian Girls in Training,” an or ganization in the church. Mr. Archi bald made the presentation of the club bag and Miss Card-of the pen. With the lattei’ went an address, voicing the gratitude of the girls for the assistance Mr. Gambrill had -giv en their organization. It was sign ed by Jean Duncan and Irene Brown Annie Clements and Beatrice Bos omworth on behalf of the society. Besides the remarks of the chair man, Mr. Archibald, brief were given by Dr. Dickie, colmson, Miss Isabella Hay ers. Mr. Ray Moore, of the be en- speeches Mr. Mal and oth-.

We -are glad to see Mrs, Emerson Gunning home again and improved in health. One morning this week when the veteran horseshoe pitchers came down to the shed for their daily ex ercise they found that someone dur ing the night had removed the stak es and they were no where to- be found. For awhile things were in a turnmoil and it would not have been well for the intruder to come very close to the village if he were known. The whole story in a nut shell (as the writer knows it) is that when the older members of the Club got through with their daily exercise they carried away the shoes which did not just appeal to the younger fellows who had to1 work all day and wanted a little recrea tion after hours and who thought they had as much right to the game as the older ones and to even things up had removed the. stakes. But we understand that things have been straightened away and both the shoes and stakes are back and things are going on as usual.

(] for fo'r be- the when AWARDED DAMAGES OT<' .$7500 The many friends of Mrs. Lloyd WHken, formerly Miss Vera Mar shall of Exeter, will be glad to learn of her wonderful success in her court proceedings for damages for the death of her husband who yas killed on the morning of July 28th last at Iroquois, Ontario. Mr. and Mrs. Wilken were returning from a dance in the car of their friends, Mr. and Mrs. Merkley, when they were .run into from the real' by a car owned by a young farmer nam ed Milligan, who with his party, was also returning from the -dance. They were on the Provincial High way in the Village, and were close, to the street into which they intend ed to turn to go home when the .Milligan car -struck them, driving their car against a tree and killing Mr., Wilken almost instantly. Milli gan had allowed a sixteen year old girl to drive his car. (The owner was in the front seat and a Mr. and Mrs. Johnston were his guests in the rear seat. The latter all claim ed that Merkley had turned in front of them while Mrs. Wiillcen and Merkley swore that the collision took place fifty feet from the cor ner and before it was possible them to be turning. Mrs. Wilken, sued Milligan damages and the case was tried fore Mr. Justice Sedge-wick at Fall Assizes at Brookville judgment was given in her favor for $3,000. The defendant, however, appealed from this judgment and the plaintiff cross-appealed for larg er damages. In February t-lie- Court of Appeal ordered the case to be tried over again, and so it came before Mr. Justice Wright at' the Spring Assizes at Brookville last week The evidence was largely a repetition of that given at the first trial and was very con tradictory, but a .remarkable feature of the new trial was the fact that the traffic cop who had positively sworn in November that the marks on the Merkley car were on the right hand side of the rear as well as on the left, thus indicating, as claimed by the plaintiff, a rear col lision, on this occasion became- a Witness for the defense, and declar ed the marks were all on th© lert rear. However, under a vigorous cross-examination the officer’s evi dence turned out to be a boomerang which virtually won the case for Mrs. Wilken. His Lordship, ns reported in the Brockville Daily Recorder, declared that he preferred to believe Mrs, Wilken and Merkley as against all the witnesses of Milliigan, and gave her judgment for $7500 and all tlift. costs of both trials and of the Court of Appeal. Intense interest was shown by a crowded court room and although Mrs. Wilken and her Coun sel were strangers they wore the re cipients of numerous congratula tions On their splendid victory. The Recorder als© says that the. Judge very severely condemned the practice of allowing inexperienced', drivers on th© Highways. At the first trial Milligan was defended by, Mr. G. L Gogo, K.C.* of Cornwall* J. G.- Coir wall,) and of Brockville, C.* of Toronto, both trials and Eliza Shier is visiting her at Burge-sville. R.
