At °Cleveland the Canadian pacer, Ace, paced the fastest mile of the year in competition, going the distance in 2.05 1/5.

Th s estimate is based on the splendid outlook of the enormous yield.

There is an interesting fight ahead betaveen the druggists of the Province and the liquor license holders as to the right to sell extracts of Malt. The Council of the Ontario College of Plia,tanacy, now in session at Toronto, has received a letter from the License Holder's Association, stating that the extract is an intoxicant and used as a beverage and that the license holders will make application to the Provin- eial authorities to so change the law that the sale of the extract will be brought ander the regulations of the license department. It was recently stated that the de- lay in obtaining the general. service medals was due to a change in the de- sign Of the medal. The facts are that the non -issue of these medals was 'caused partly by delay at the Royal Mint in enanufacturing them and part- ly because at the eleventh hour the order for using the Northwest cam- paign ribbon for the new medal was changed and another ribbon of a dif- ferent design authorized. Seven thousand S6Venhundred clasps are iloW in Ottawa, but he ribbons have vet been received, and no issue will take plaee until the ribbons have been received. h.

FOUND HIS CIIAIN.-- Some months 'ago while lawyer I. R. Calling was in the Stephen swamp bunting rabbits, he had the misfortune to lose hischain. Mr Carling prized the chain as it is a valua,ble one given him by his fa- ther, and he searched for days to find it. Finally he' advertised it in TELE TIMES, offering a reward of $20 to the finder. Hearing nothing of the chain he gave it up as lost. A few days ago while John Ressler aucl his sop, a small boy, were passing through the swamp, the hoy in passing scale un- der -brush, felt something strike him on the face. He thought it was a . snake, and called to his father to kill it. Further exanamatioa revealed a watch chain dangling from a small twig, which no doubt had caught and tore rt from 14r. Darlings yest. • The boy remarked that it might be Mr. Carling's chain which was advertised in the EXETER Tpans some time ago. Mr. Ressler brought the chain to Ex- eter on 'Thesday, and received the $20. This is the moral to advertising in the 'Tams; once read never forgotten. ' The Main st.
