Coroner Dr. C Hunter addressed
tee Jury as follows: The tact is ap-
parent that this boy came to bis death
on Lot 3, conmssion 6, Went Division
of Colborne by strangulation calmed
by hanging by the neck. That this
hanging was self-inflicted la beyond
the shadow of a doubt. I would like
to make it quite clear about those

Added to Ida loneliness and depres-

my mind If say good can come of
whipping a boy of sixteen. Certainly
Cox had not the legal authority to
whip this boy. (Here the coroner
quoted the criminal cede on assault.)
Ity ble contra,• 'e , this boy was hired.
Added to his whipping, and general
loneliness*. there was the fact that he
had no recreation. He went to church
and Sunday school, if that be recre-

and fewer paid visltorA Some fairs
have allowed the non -amential ho-
tline' to overshadow the lrorth-Mille
things to such an extent that their.
usefulness may well be questioned. The
trouble with many smaller Mrs is
that tbey have hung out too liberal
purses for the trials of speed ►pd
skimped the other departments of the
exhibition. There are directors on
almost every board who firmly be-
lieve that a fall fair without a hone
race Is an absolute impotesibility. A
real, bona fide borne race is not a bad
attraction, but many of the so-called
trials of sped at fall fairs are nothing
but one horse following another; in
many cases- t h e contestants
in the race practically steal
the money. Trials of .peed. so-
called. have been an attraction me long
and in many cases have degenerated
Into such fizzles that It would not be
Iljfficult to find a better feature at
smaller cyst. There are sufficient fall
fairs that hare dispensed with horse
racing altogether, with nat:iatactory re-
q-altn.__e,,•warrant fair directors giv-
ing the matter more open-minded con-

and other athletic contests, where
known people and teams are involved,
are proving very good attractions..

juvenile members of the community.
Until recent years the young folk have
been frowned upon int there is nothing
that would liven up the Lill fair, quite
as much as young blood on the fair
boards and recognition of the boys end
girls in ''most every department of
