Leckie Wilson, Superintendent of Fairs and Exhibitions for the Pro- vince of Ontario has written the Secre- tary -of Wingham Fall Fair as follows: "Owing to the outbreak of war and the general financial conditions resulting therefrom, I am instructed to advise you that the Government will be unable to furnish Expert Judges for the Fall Fairs this yeae, and via also be unable to pay more than 50 per cent. of the regular grants next year. This decision lute been reluctantly art -eyed at after carefel consideration, and I would sug- gest that you advise your Directors at mice so that they may make whatever arrangements may be necessary under the circumstances. You will agree tbat the situation is one unprecedented ih the history of the Province and calls for sacrifices on the part of all, and your co-operation in working out chang- ed eonditions to the beat advantage will be greatly appreciated." The Direc- tors of Wingharn Fair have already made arrangements for procuring com- petent judges to take the places of those which were to have been supplied by the Department. The people of Wiegham arid district could easily make up the loss which will be sustained through the cut in the grant.

A number of boys of this town are in the habit of riding their bicycles on the sidewalks of our side streets, and coast- ing down the hills. We would warn these offenders of the extreme danger not only to themselves but also to pedestrians. Only last week a young girl was run into by a bicyclist who was trespassing on the sidewalk, and if the practice is not stopped a serious accident may happen, not only to sorneone walk- ing but to the cyclist also. Hurt in Runaway Accident. \f..While Mr. ,Thomas Aitkens, of Turn- berry,was loading a stove onto a single wagon at the rear of Ross & Bell's hardware store on Friday morning, he had the misforeune to meet with a very severe accider.t. He was in the act of moving the seat forward to make room for a stove he had purchased from Ross & Bell, when the seat fell forward onto the:horse, causing it to take fright and bolt. Mr. Aitkens lost his balance and fell in front of the wrgon, one wheel passing over his body. He was immed- iately taken to Mr. Geo. Moir's shoe shining parlors and his friends phoned for, but was taken home later in Mr. O. Taylor's auto./ To what extent- he was injured is not known at present, but as Mr. seitkens is an elderly man dee shock may confine him to the house for some time. The stove was complete- ly demolished but the horse escaped in- jury. Wingham Fall Fair. - Wingham Fall Fair will be held this year on Thursday and Friday, Septem- ber 24 -and 25.
