Flashbacks of Days Gone-By By W, J.-Plenty All, this Coronation news of the past couple of weeks brought to my mind aome interesting incidents of the long moo, queen Victoria's Diamond jubilee was being becomingly celebrated by the town of Clinton. The town council bad offered a prize for the most ap- propriately dressed store show win- dow, There was keen competition, but the winner was a man named Ogle Cooper, who had a grocery and china shop. He had in one window an easel, and on it was a large picture of Queen Victoria. Over the picture was one of those old-fashioned umbrellas such as was commonly used as a sunshade by the driver of a one-horse wagon. 'The inscription at the bottom of the 'picture was no doubt the source of the prize. It simply said, "Let 'er Reign." Peculiar Promutelations News was flashed over the wires that the Czar of Russia had passed away. This Czar was the father of the Czar, who, with his family, was assns- mated, and the rule of the Czars brought to an untimely conclusion. The writer was at that time a boy in his teens and was standing in the post office, then located where Mr. Wm, Clark has his place of business. Two of Wingharree best known zens, call them Bill and George, were there waiting for the mail to be sort- ed. I Pave to use some peculiar spell- ing to convey the proniincietions used in the short dialogue that took place, as follows: Said Bill to George, "The 'Zest of Russia is dead." Replied George, "Is the Geezer of Roosia dead?" These citizens of Wingha.m would be well remembered if their names were given. Recalls Old Building Standing watching the finishing touches being put on the cement block and brick Pattison building on Joseph- ine street, a farmer friend came along And remarked• that many a time he had his harness repaired by Charlie Knechtel in where this new place now stands. t Yes, Charlie Knechtel had a harness shop in the north side of the frame building that had stood there for per- haps half a century, It had contained many tenants in its time. There was Tommy Black's billiards ;and pool room in the south portion, :This place was anathema to some ;people. One Sunday night a clergy- man made caustic reference to it as a vile den of iniquity.

Of course he received an answer in the negative, and what Tommy replied then wouldn't look good in any respectable newspaper, In the north *seetion of the build- ing at one time was located ten-pin bowling alley, the name of the opera- tor forgotten, At another time Joseph Mason had a photo gallery there, JoeMason was a tenor voestliSt of considerable ability, and he Could sing a comic song equal to the renowned Jimmy Fax. He was entertaining an audience at Belgrave one night his selections namely having an Irish ac- cent, although lie, was it pure cockney, born within the sound of Bow Bells. After the concert was over a typical Irishman, in his broad old Irish voice asked him "phwat part are ye from." Joe had quite a time explaining that he wasn't a son of Erin. Later George Moir had a shoeshine parlor in this same section. Present day citizens will well re- member that James Haugh occupied the south portion of the premises as a boot and shoe repair shop for many years, in fact until his retirement, 'rout's Hall Busy Place Prout's Hall on Victoria street, loc- ated near Fry & Blackhall's furniture factory, was a two-storey frame build- ing. The owner was a painter and in- terior decorator and occupied the ground floor. The hall was upstairs and was the principal place in Owe, for travelling cOheert and theatrical companies, also local entertainments. One Sunday afternoon a man calling himself Ex-Fraciscan Monk Widows was widely advertised to deliver an address, During his remarks he took occasion to pay his respects to the Davis family in general, one of whom was our respected citizen Harry Davis. But William and John Davis of Mitchell, publishers of The Advoc- ate, came in for a vindictive, spiteful tongue-lashing. Following his meeting he was walking toward Josephine street when Harry Davis came up to him from behind, caught him by the shoulder and turned him around. Mr, Davis said to him, "You had a good deal to say about my family this af- ternoon," then he delivered a heavy blow to Widow's face. Citizens close at hand intervened to stop any further trouble, A couple of week's later a court case was held, Mr. Davis being -charged with assault. Evidence was so conclusive that the accused was fined one dollar, a
