GANDA'S BEHEST GELEBRATION OF THE JUBILEE TEAR, IFully alive to the times of manage- naent of the Toronto Exhibition, or as the title runs this year, "Canada's Great Victorian -Era Exposition and Industrial Fair," is to be conducted on a scale, from August 30th to Septem- ber 110, that will even transcend any former effort made to promote this, the most popular, most comprehensive and most attractive annual show on the continent. Already a sufdelent number of applications for space anclof notifications of entries have been re- ceived to warrant the highest expecta- tions. The management have increas- ea the number of medals to be awarded and have made many improvements to the buildings and grounds, showing that they are resolved to leave nothing undone that will enhanee the pleasure and. comfort of both patrons and ex- hibitors. They have also determined on a special feature that promises to prove the greatest outdoor spectacle in the way of entertainment that To- ronto or any other city has ever known, outside the world's metropolis itself. This speetacle will take the form of alreproduction of thewondrous Diamond Jubilee procession in London. Agents are now across the water hir- ing and buying the necessary pro- perties and costtunes, which will be an exact replica of the uniforms and costumes worn by the soldiery, the sailors, the nobility and the yeoznen of the guard in the magnificent pro- cession. Scenes will also be reproduced of the ceremonies at Buckingham Palace, St. Paul's Clathedral and other places along the line of route. Slaty interesting speeialtiee Will also be in- trodnced, which at night, the effect will be heightened and enagnified by brilliant illuminations and fireworks, Not only will spectaters have brought home to them the grandeur and unity of the exupire, but they will be practi- cally taken home to Old London. While dwelling on this gasand feature the material aspect of the Exhibition xnust not be lost sight of therefore it is well to mention that• entries of live stock, and the majority of the depart- ments, close on Saturday, .Aurenist ltb. Programmes eontaining all details of the attractions will be issued about the Nth of August. A WRONG TO CANADA. Week after week we notice papers publishing elaborate write-ups of the ceremonies attendant upon the deli- very of A.raerican harvesting machin- ery to farmers of Ontario. The publication of these highly -col- ored descriptions is business with the newspapers. The purchase of imple- ments manufactured in the 'United States is perhaps business with the farmers, The farmers may not have been well -Lased by the Canadian mann- beturers, plit it seems a pity that a Misunderstanding between Canadian farmers and Canadian manufacturers should send Canadian money to build up a market for American farmers. Of Course these companies are represented by Canadian agents. The farmers may forget the ailen character -CO the factory which sends out the ma- chine in their liking for the Cault- dian who sells it. Bat the farmers ought to retuember that when they buy an Ameriean harvester, they are building op a market from which they are almost entirely excloded, and they ought to give at least fair play to the Canadian manufatturer. Nor should the Canadian manufac- turer trade on the patriotism of the farmer, nor presume upon the advant- ages whic* he owes to the tariff. The Canadian manufacturer in- creases his own market when he deals fairly with the farmer, and the Money which the Canadian farmer gives to the Canadian. manufacturer goes to build up a home market for the farmers own produce. It is regrettable that citizens ehould forget their principles and wrong their country by giving money to build up the factories of a country which goes out of its way to try and injure Cana- dian farmers. be Provincial elections in Prince Edward Island took place Wednesday of last week. There are thirty mem- hers in the House, and these the • Liberals have elected. nineteemand the Conservatives eleven. The Province was formerly held by the Liberalwho had a good enajority. The Scott Aet has been defeated in Charlottetown, P. E. I., by a majority of 780 to Va. There are so many berries being shipped from South Essex that the railroads are linable to handle them. O'Connel Powell, news editor of the Winnipeg Northwestern, died in the hosp:itaj there on Tuesday evening of cohstimption. Mr. Wm. Ctumning,s, on of Mr. James Cummings, of It'gentandville, fell from a tree in front of his father's house on Monday =orphan and got pretty badly shaken up. At the First Presbyterian church, Seaforth, on Tuesday last, Rev. Neil McPherson, M. A., B. D., pastor of St. Paul's Presbyterian church,Hamilton, and Isbel, daughter of Rev. .Mattheve Barr, of Seaforth, were united in marriage. On Aug. 5 next, Mr. jobn Charlton, M P. for North Norfolk, will have coantileted 25 years of continuous ser- vice in the Dominion House of Com- p:mese; and that without a. break. He has never lost an election, or had his return prostrated. The contract of carrying the mail daily between Seaforth, Constance and flarlock, has been let to Mr. Wm. McIntosh, of Constance. Constance and Harlock, will have a daily mail service. This, also will remove from the road the familiar fignre of Mr. Thomas Neilans, who, ever since 1872, haefaithfully served Iler Majesty as itcthaTier betvveen Seaforth and Peter .Dennison, of Shakespeare Weed. Stratford, an employe of the Grand Trunk shops, went home in his usual good health when they closed down at 5 o'clock on Friday night. He partook of a good meal at tea, and nothing unusual -was observed. Before retiring for the night, about ten o'clock, his wife made some ginger tea: and took it to his bedside, he hav- ing:retired a .few minutes prior to ten. Imagine her horror to find her hus- band dying. ' The Rev. Dr. Talmage is again with- out a church. .Practically he has been driyen from the rectorship of the aristocratic First Presbyterian Church in Washington, dissension among its members. The dissension was caused by those who wished to be rid of him. The majority is against him. It claims that he has fallen short of ex- pectations. There are fewer persons in the congregation, and it is in worse condition financially than when Dr. P To age took charge. Dr. Stni.derland is iettv in charge and he has annotate - ed that Dr. Talmage will not return. This is in accordance with the agree - anent by which he secured a church in e -Washington.

The Directors of this time-honored Show have had suffitient experience to know the proper course in main - taming theproud position the Western now enjoys as The Live Stock and Agricultural Fair of Canada. Twenty-nine years have paesed aWaV since the Western Fair was es- tablfshed. Each and every year since has been marked by advaneement in all the departments. This annual im- provement, is largely due to the thoughtfulness and care of manage- ment, and thefact that the agricultural interests are given first place. Over thirty-four thousand dollars were expended in exhibition buildings last year, and others being found necessary are in course of construction for the coming Fair. London's Fair buildings are worth a visit to the city to see. Exhibitors of first class etock, machinery, or produce of any kind, looking for purchasers -cannot go to a better pace than the Western Pair to get ev tat they want -ready sales at good price*. The Prise Liste ere ready for dis- tribution, and a simple application to the Seeretary, Mr. Thos. A. Browne, will secure a copy. It is well just here to say the closing date for making entries is September Oth. While the Association gives parti- cular attention to the exhibitors and their exhibits, they- at the same time are aware of the necessity of having some first class special features to edify and amuse their visitors during the afternoons and evenings. Sie Hessen Ben Ali, the Arab prince, has been engaged, not only to bring with - him his wonderful troupe of Arahe, but seeure the best talent in America along other lines.

Hamilton, July 20. -The London, Baseball Club defeated the Ilarailtons this afternoon and came near whitewashing them. The Londons played a good game and batted well. Dean, the Ilamilton's second base- ntan, pitched,although there were two pitch- ers on the bench, Lyons, the St. Thomas catcher, signed on Saturday as centre -field- er, did not distinguish himself by good work. McAndrews, the third baseman, played it miserable game, and, after muff, leg two balls and making a wild throw, wanted to go to the bench. The sooner Manager Stroud releases him and two of the outfielders the better the patrons of the game here will be pleased. The score: R. IL E.

OraaavA, july 26—It is safe to say that the statement made under oath by Mr. G. H. 'Kent, of this city, with regard to his wonderful reeoyery from Bright's .disease through the agency of Dodd's Kidney Pills has definitely de- , cided the question as to whether he owes his recovery to this valuable medicine, and has been accepted as a final settlement of the debate.' While, however there is now no ()Neal= raised to the statement, there as still a strong feeling in the city and. neighborhood with regard to the cure, and those who at first combatted the idea as incredible are, now loud in their expressions of astonishment that, what has been considered an incurable dis- ease should sucennib so quickly to a remedy, and in their praise 'of the re- edy itself.
