And spring grate look well, but hay ie

,-
ing London, the crops along the road
were light,'of till kinds, the corn looking
the best. Everything had apparently
been affected by the dry weather, which
prevails over my whole trip. Chatham,
which that day had been made a city, was
reached about eleven, and everything
around the station was alive.. The whole
city was illuminated, and hundreds of.
carriages were passing and re -passing the
station. ' The city WAS gaily decorated
with bunting and mottoes. We were
there for an hour, shunting around the
station yard, and, I may say, in passing,
that tltie was not the most enjoyable part
of the trip, After leaving Chatham it
was too dark to see the crops. We ar-
rived at Windsor about 2;30 a. m., and
after day -light were taken morose the
leery, andthen'had to wait until the offices
were opened so I could make an . entry of
the mare in the customs. 'This is some-
thing that, if every. Canadian voter had
to do, he wouldcease to vote for protect-
ion, and so do away in some manner
with the customs. The mare is suppos-
ed to be entered free, but by the time she
is back on Canadian Boil Mr. O'Leary will
have paid about $15 to customs house of-
ficers and their attendants-. I should
have left Detroit for Toledo about 12
o'clock noon, but by careleesnesk of the
Grand Trunk Railway in not transfer-
ring the shipping bill to the M. S. et L.
S., I was left there until 7 p. m. I went
out to Detroit's great race tracts and saw
a good afternoon's running races. Sev-
•oral Canadian horses ran, but none were
fnoky enough to land the money. From
Detroit to Toledo it was too dark to see
the country. So far as I' could see the
station yards at Toledo are very large
ones, and there were a great number of
trains in them.
Vol. 23. No. ,
After leaving Toledo it got daylight,
and from there to 'Kendallville we ran
through a flat olay country, with small
villages. , The principal crops are fall
wheat, rye, oats, hay and corn, and they
are very fair, corn being• excelleeb. The
woods are elni,,.baeswood, hickory and
walnut. The farmers, however, don't
seem as prosperous as in Clanada.
Their fences are very good, but the build -
'jogs, neither houses or barns, here or any
d.ber place I have seen, can compare
with the buildings of Canadian farmers.
They seem to follow, only grain growing --
no mixed farming -and doe'' seem to
manure their soil, as you can see straw
stacks standing all over the farm, some of
them evidently years old. Tbey appar-
ently seem to have very little stools, at
east none eau be seen from the train,
bet a few horses, A. good number of
logs are occasionally visible.

and more rolling, until you reach Goshen,

Then followed the speeches. Th
Chairman was john Neil, County Master
of South Huron, who palled on Mayo
Gray, who on behalf of the town welcom-
ed the Orangemen and. hoped it would
soon be Seaforth's turn to have the
back again. Bev. J. Hodgins, Seaforth,
corrected the prevailing error held by
many in reference to the Orangemeu. It
was their object to advance the cause of
tomperanco and morality and lend as-
sistance to all in need, regardleas of reli-
gious denominations. It was not the in-
tention of the . Orangemen to insult
Roman Catholics, but to promote good
feeling among all citizens. Rev. 112r.
Bond dealt with the Manitoba schools
question as it affected the Orangemen and
all Proteetants, and called upon all to
stand up for the religions and oivil rights
of the people of Manitoba and to resist all
endeavors of Rome to force Separate
Schools upon'the people of that Province.
Dr. J. Freeborn, of Clinton, followed and
made a telling address on much the same
lines. Rev. Mr. Stout, of Heusall, Comi-
ty Chaplain, made a strong plea to all
Protestants. Rome had professed to
have reformed, but her actions had prov-
ed differently. It was the object of
Orangemen to free the country from the
tyranny which the Pope and the church
desired. Other speakers 'were Dr. Mc-
Donald, of Seaforth, and Bev. Mr. Arm-
ong, Bayfield. The day's proceedings
closed by the playing of "God Savo the

Ten thousand Orangemen celebrated
the battle of the Boyne ab Winnipeg on
Friday. Special trains were roti from all
parte of Manitoba, the moasion being
made a monster demonstration against
Roman Catholic separate schools. At au
open air mass meeting, addressed byex-
President Leyden, of Boston, Rev. W,
G. Henderson, of Winnipeg, and others,
strong resolutions were carried with loud
cheers condemning the Dominion Oabioet
for attempting to force paroohial schools
ou Manitoba, despite the wishes of the
people as deola0ed in Premier Greenway's
recent answer to Ottawa. The, resolu-
tions declared that. Orangemen would
give up their life's blood if necessary as a
sacrifice for their schools, which would be
free from religious interference or intol.
'erance. Premier Greenway, of Manitoba,
was thanked for his bold stand for nat•
ioual schools, while Premier Bowen, of
Ottawa, once Grand Master of the Orange
order, was condemned in strong language
for his threat to force separate schools in
Manitoba. It was unanimously decided
to ask Hon. T. M. Daly, Minister of the
Interior, to resign for voting for separate
schools, es he was acting directly antag-
onistic to the wishes of his conatitnedbs
in Manitoba.

A monster demonstration was held
here ou the 12th. The town was gaily
decorated with evergreens and flags and

By noon upwards of 8,000 people bad. as-
sembled from neighboring towns and

gram, but all seemed to enjoy themselves.
Everything passed off quietly and in good
order. A baseball match in the morning
between Cargill and Harriston resulted
in favor of Harriston-eoore 14 to 2. In
the afternoon Arthur and Harriet=
played ball, and Harriston won -score 25

"The united ohorns and musical festival
bald at London on Wednesday was the
first of a series to be held in Ontario this
year, and others are to be bald in Peter-
baro' for Eastern Ontario, and at Colling-
wood for Northern Ontario, the latter on
July 30th. At London the famous band
of the Waterloo Muskat Society, son.
duoted by N, Gillar, and the London
Symphony Orchestra,rendered the aa.
oompaniments for the hymns and an.
theme eung by about six hundred ohoir .
singers, and the glees and patriotic songs
sung by a picked body of school children,
numbering 200. The concert was held
in Queen's Park, 10,000, people listening
to the music. A great attraotion was the
ohorus competition, the mixed chortle bf
the Exeter choir under Prof, Ruse win•
Hing first prize in that class, and the
Owen Sound•Male Chorus, oonduoted by
Dr. Cavanagh, securing first for their
"Home, Sweet Home," by Geibel. The
prize is a baton for the conductor and
appropriate badges for the singers. Prof.
Vogt and Prof. Fisher, direotor of the
Conservatory of Music, Toronto, were
the judges in this oompebition. We con•
gratulate Dr. Cavanagh and 'his singers
on their success." The London Adver-
tiser remarks :-The Owen Sound male
chinas sang "Home, Sweet Home." It
proved a well-balanced and well-trained
organization. The only conspicuous de-
feat was a slight sharpness in the tenor,
but the surroundings were not conducive
to the highest class of work. The Ex-
eter mixed choir were highest in ennnoi-
anon and intonation, and the Owen
Boned chorus in enunciation, expression,
choice of tempo, phrasing and correotness.
Prof. Fisher then handed the leaders of
the two choruses -Dr. Cavanagh, of
Owen Sound, and Mr. Ruse, of Exeter -
handsome ivory and ebony batons, tipped
with gold and silver respectively. They
were valued at $75 each. Eaok member
of both oboire also reoeived a handsome
badge, goldtrimmed.
