Over 700 members of the joist
Huron Battalion came home from
Camp Borden by special train on
Thursday last, the Exeter contingent
aarieing here about 8 o'clock p. in.
by special train. About 100 men
were necessarily left at Camp Borden
to take care of the camp. Those on
leave returned to camp on Tuesday
and the camp guard will probably get
the corning week -end off. By the
new arrangement a whole battalion is
allowed home for four days (ince a
month,' instead of as heretofore, a
rumbe:.of troops being allowed home
for leach week -..end, Better training•is
expected from this arrangement, A
large number of citizens meet the boys
at the station and also saw them de-
paTt on Tuesday.
It is currently reported that the
161st battalion will leave for overseas
within a month, but from a reliable.
source we learn that this seems un-
likely as it swill be probably three or
four weeks before they commence the
shooting practice, and that course of
instruction takes at least three weeks.
In spite of the "awful" dust, the
(`terrible" dirt, and pure water, and
choice food (meat three times a day),
the comfortable sleeping quarters, the
out -of• door life, the evenings of
sport, and the roar to six days off
each month, the boys all look the
picture of health. Even the ladies
who visited the camp did not show
spy fateful results, sand several say
they and their clothes got more soil-

Onelady said the sand storms in Cal-
gary were worse, which makes us
wonder why they ever built the city
of Calgary in such a spot. But then,
the "horrid" place has to be damned,
anyhow, irrespective of the praise
given the camp iby men who have seen
the big camps in United States, ling -
land and France.

however, the subscription hasonly
been raised, commencing Oct. lst, to

pleased to see the advance ;And paid
the amount by ;postal note, adding

THE EXETER FAIR.
Monday and Tuesday next are the
dates of the ;Annual Fall Fair in Ex-
eter and surrounding country realize'
the fact that the officers and osdime-
o
t S of
the Fair from the President
s
ident
down do not conduct this lair to swell
their personal bank accounts? There
is much gratuitous hard work and
anxiety (about the successful conduct
of a fall Fair. The officers and air
ectors do their share of the work and
worry and all they ask is that the
citizen.; fill up the Palace and grounds
with •exhibits of the.various kinds and
endeavor to carry away the prize
money. If you have anything worth
showing take it to the grounds and
malle the list of 'exhibits this year
better than •evier. Then patronizethe
Fair as usual and you have done ,all
that is required of you.
