The auto party of nine who left
town early Wednesday morning . were
the first to reach the camp. where.
arrangements had been made for
entertainment. Shortly after nine•
o'clock the second party of nine arriv-
ed by train and were met at t1a...
Station by 'military escorts, They
were taken,to a hotel just outride the
camp where a very .elaborate ban-
quet was tserved, the officers of the
,Battalion being host's for the occasion
After a most pleasant social evening
the party retired feeling somewhat
weary after their long travel
The following morning .the party
was up in goad time and headed ltv
'Rev. Collins. Started for the trenches
which were not far from their stop -
beg place. It was with home difficulty
that they obtained permission to make
the inspection, as the trenches were
being guarded against the attacking
party. The. trenches at 'Borden are
patterned as near as possible after
those on the we(stern' front and were
as near realistic as the visitors at+
ae'y rate, will be ever likely to se.
Headed by one of the officers and
followed in the rear: by one of the
army •ohaplians the party marched.
through the trenches, visited the
di.gouts, lsaw the machine gun base,
peered through the periscope at the
enemy, stopped to listen at ono of the
listening posts; inspected the barb-
ed wire entanglements, and received
a gaud conception of,trench life.
It was war conditerne without hor-
trors of war. The whizzing of bullets
the !roar of cannons. and the, groans.
and agonies of the wounded were hot
in (evidence. All these and much more
were left to be imagined. While they
were in the trenches they received.
a 'telephone communication that Pte.
W. Stewart of town was ready to take
them to the ps.rade grounds. which
was tses cra.1 miles away.. The ziew
'motor truck presented by the ladies
of Seaforth, was ditted up with chains
and used for the purpose. At one point
they ascended the hill from, the, top
of which they bad a good view of the Mrs., Graham. wife of Rev. H. A.
