The Band was never in bet- ter shape, and the music they dis- course is of a very superior kind. They are to be complimented in many ways, and should receive the hearty sup- port of the citizens, as we- have one of the best bands in Western Outario. RUNAWAY. -On Friday last T. W. Hawkshaw had quite an tins:' • • ::tt.., experience. He was exercising a driving horse which he recently pro- cured from T. B. Carliug, and while driving along Huron street, the ani- mal became uutuanageable and en- deavored to run away. Mr. Hawk- shaw held the reins and could have finally controlled the horse, but for a line breaking. This accident caused the pulling of the animal into the ditch, upsetting the driver from the rig ; and the bnggy becoming de- tached the horse ran across the main street taking the sidewalk northward at the Molsons Bank which it kept until reaching Ann street when it turned, running to Carling Bros.' yard. Neither 11Ir. Hawkshaw nor horse were injured, but the buggy was considerably damaged. ACCIDENT. -John Popiestone, an elderly gentleman, and an old resident of Exeter, met with a serious accident on Sunday. He was visiting at John 'Sanders' in Stephen township, and while standing upon steps talking to the members of the family, he stepped backward off the steps and fell heavily upon a pile of stones on the ground. He was picked up in an unconscious condition and brought to his home in Exeter, where he lay in a. comatose state, until Monday morning, when he died. Mr. Popiestone was one of the pioneers of this section, and for years had lived alone in his cottage on Andrew street. Deceased was born in Alternum Parish, County of Cornwall, England. He came to Canada in 1857, and moved to Usborne in 1867, and in 1873 came to Exeter, . where he has since lived, his wife having died in 1889. Mr. Popiestone was of a quiet, unassuming disposition and was high- ly respected by a large circle of friends. One son, Amos, who lives in Detroit is the only surviving member of the family, and he wishes through THE TIMES to thank the neighbors and friends for the kindness shown his father during and prior to his ar cident.

We regret to say that the conduct of some of the young men in the gallery on the occasion of the concert on Monday evening, was quite an- noying during the rendering of part of the programme, making it very difficult for others to - hear. Such conduct is very unbecoming and should not be repeated. - Some 22 members of the Exeter bicycle club took in the first club run one Friday evening last. They rode to Centralia, and while passing through o gh Main street presented a very imposing appearance. They were all neatly attired andwore the club:colors, Some 500 people turned out to view the procession, which would indicate that an interest is taken in cycling.
