admiration of Scoutmaster MacDonald
and appreciation of the care and

Some Notes of Last Week's Visit to the
Exhibibso.
The troop of Boy Scouts selected to
represent the Goderich corps at the
Toronto Exhibition arrived there at
12:30 p. m. Tuesday of last week in
charge of Scoutmaster Chester Mac-
Donald. After doing justice to an
excellent lunch and getting located
in tbeir tent, the boys were free until
10 p. w. The Midwayand Soarboro'
Beach were accountale for the happy,
if tired, looks of the Scouts when they
reported promptly on time.
Wednesday's work started at 6:45,
when the camp bugler sounded

before breakfast. On ('om missioner

The march -past was reheat sed in
the morning. At 230 p. m. the head
of the column, which was half -a -mile
long, started for the grandstand en-
closure. The march past was carried
out with a swing and alertness that
surprised many a epectatnr. Tbe
massing for the inspection of "the
&leg's 'Scouts" by the Duke of Coo-

GRANDSTAND ATTRACTIONS.
Big New York Feature Secured for
Goderich ladustrial Exhibition.
The attractions committee of the
Goderich industrial Exhibition has
been fortunate in securing Power's
$100,000 herd of hippodrome ele-
phants for • relies of perform-
aaces u a the Exhibition here on
September 16, 17 and 18. This was
Use biggest grandstand attraction at
theToronto Exbibltioo this year, and
Ottawa and Goderich are the only
other places in Ontario at which it
will &bow. !'hese are trained ele-
phants, giving a wonderful and at
times ,amus ng performance showing
the amaaing sagacity of the bip, crea-
tures. "BabyMine," ten months old,
is said to be te only baby elephant in
America. Another of the herd is the
only elephaat in taw world driven in
harness. These trained elephants are
from New York City, where they have
been a star attraction at the New
York Hippodrome. They will give
performances the Bat evening of the
Goderich fair, afternoon and evening
of the Second day, •od afternoon of
the third day. Everybody within
fifty miles of Goderich should see
them. They are a genuine attraction
such as may be seen only once in a
lifetime outside of the big cities.
There will be bagpipe music and
Highland dancing at the fair the
Macdonald family, one of whom is the
gold meaaliet dancer of Ontario.
Highland dancers are always popular
in Goderich.
The directors of the /oderich In-
dustrial are sparing no pains or ex-
pense to make the Exbibition this
year the best ever. It will be the
big event of this whole western dis-
trict and everyone within reach of
the town should make it • point to be
present.
SUNDAY EVENING
BAND CONCERTS.
To the Editor of The Signet.
DRAB SIR,-Kitelly permit 'me to
express throe h your columna what I
believe to be'Le opinion and desire of
a large number of our citizens, botb
men and women. This is, that Sun-
day evening band concerts can well
be dispensed with in our town. especi-
ally so late in the summer and with
such weather as we are baying. If
tbe band can fulfil their engagement
to play a certain number 'of evenings
during the season by utilizing Sunday
evenings, then merchants and work-
men may with equal right claim a
similar privilege.
We are all proud of our band slid
would regret to complain that for
many it was impairing the quietness
of our Sabbath evenings.

The Labor Day holiday was a good
deal of a disappointment to those who
had expected to spend the day in out-
of-door. recreation. Early in the
morning it started to rain, and for
several hours there was a heavy down- •.
pour which threatened to keep people
indoors all day. However, about
noon it cleared away, and the sun
coining out strongly for a while eu-
couraged the holiday spirit, and the
afternoon was en)oyed as well ad cir-
cunutences permitted.
The baseball game which was to be
played in the morning in the church
league series, between the teams rep-
retpnting Knox church and North
street Methodist church, as the final
match in the summer's competition,
was indefinitely postponed. It is pro-
posed to play it et the fall fair, where
it should be a good drawing card.
'rhe chief centre of attraction for
the day in this district was to be the
Point Faro, where Proprietor Gold-
thorpe had arranged for a big program
of sports. After several heavy rain.
during the preceding days, the grounds
there were already well soaked, and
Mondry morning's torrent put the
finish un the proepects of a successful
day. In view of the Hooded oonditioe
of tttj grounds and the had roads, it
was decided to call off the baseball
game between Blyth and loJerich,,
and notice was sent out over the tele-
phone to this effect. However, eigbpr
the Blyth boys did not get the mas-
sage,
ersage, or, emulating Nelson at Copen-
hagen, they put their deaf ear to the
'phone -at any rate, along in the .10.1 -
noon tbe big Clinton auto hove in
sight with the team and a number of
their supporters on board. Only a
few of the Goderich players were on
hand, but a team was got together,
and the game was started. There
were 1511 or 2110 people on the grounds,
and although the moist footing pre-
vented first-class pully the game was
an interesting one. Godetich led un-
til the fourth innings, when Blyth
started a procession around the bases
which netted them six runs. Tbe call
for supper ended the game after the
first part of tbe sixth innings, the
score standee* 8 to 3 is favor of Blyth.
Dr. McTaggart, of Blyth, was tbe um-
pire, and the players were as follows :
