Last Monday the program of averts marked. out by the Celebration Coenoittee at Wroxeter was megnetin enough to attraot a large number of eighbsoore, all the :A:mounding towns and villages being well represented. The village was gay in its holiday attire of flags, 'meting and civet -greens and blie wetither woe all that any person could desire. Early in the day the Maple Leaf Fife and Drum Band, 10 strong, load by R. McMahen, arrived from Walkerton and kept the music going at gettable intervals during the day. The boys play very well but there is a "thinness" about it compered with the brass bands of to.clay. First on the list of games was a ban ball match between Winghom and Har• riston. They were fairly closely match- ed but the former gradually drew ahead and won quite handily with an innings to spare. The store wits as follows: Wxectrieer. .Stnart, Swanton, Lookridge, Angus, A.

The rope was stretched aoross Main street from the tops of the two highest blocks. Be did hie part well, walking, sitting on n chair, lying down, traversing the dis. taint) with his feet in boakets, dim, and ooncluded with a number of tricks on rings and a trapeze. A rush was then made for the dinner tables wbiob were taxed to their fullest oapaoity in supplying the wants of the inner -man. 1 p. in. found a large and orderly gathering on the Park to witness the afternoon contems.

Bradley Ilardy Goal Stanley Teeswater struck a winning gait and soored the only goal of the match although the Harristonimus fought their way bravely and gave their opponents a lively chase. Lacrosse, ae usually play- ed, should be confined to Indians and , negreea. To the former bemuse they are said to have originated it and to the black man on Recount of the fortification be possesees in a thick insult. Before the game was over some of the above men- tioned players bad more "bnmps" on their craniums than Nature placed there owing to the unmerciful swipes they re- ceived in Canadas National game. Borne of the speataters ran the gauntlet also and had to beat a hasty retreat when the borosse atithe arrived. Teeswater luts not lost a game this season yet but we are of the opinion that both they and Hale Aston play more old fashioned. "shinny" than genuine lacrosse. J. Martin refereed tbe metal satiefactorily. • Arch. Anderson, of $t. Helens, was on hand with his bagpipes and enlivened the proceedings with a number of well played Scottish aim. Benny and Lillian Pat. a rick, of Galt, tripped the light fantastic in Highland danoee whioh warmed the cockels of more than one Seotchman's heart as he remembered the days of °old • hong sync). Football was brought prominently to the notice of the eightseers by a well kicked match in whioh Brussels and GOA° were the opposing elevene. Gor- rie played defence for the first half-tinie and Bruesele counted surely on a few goals hut the Fates were against them if nothing more. Mitehell, of Listowel, was goal -keeper for them and he left =his position and ran up the field. In his absence Bremner, n Mount Forest foot - bailer, aseisting Illorrie, kicked the ball ' through. The other goal was knooked through Brussels goal by Large, also of Lietowel, who struck the ball with hie hand. It was a first -Wass game though and greatly interested the on.lookers.

Nothing was left undone by the Oom• mittee that would add to the comfort or pleasure of the large number of visitors and Wroxeter has the eatiefaction of knowing that the day's program was not only closely adhered to but sumessfully earned out. • In the evening a grand contort was given in the Pavilion.

The following 11as just been prepared by Prof, Seundere :— Hay is *110 113000 important and valu- able of all Canadian Grope, and this year the fields premier) to be most obundant. The scaroiby in Europa has led te hi. creased demand in Canada, and if the incoming mop be of geed quality and well cowed it will no doubt eomtnand high prim. Eay containing ro considerable proper. thin of lover is preferred In Greab Brit- ain, and this is more dill-1mM to ours properly than hay oomposed chiefly of timothy. Permit me to draw the attention of farmers generally, through your columns, to the method of curing hay pradised at the Central Experimental Farm, where under the good management of the farm foreman, it has given exoellent results. It is also, I find, the practice of many of the best Canadian farmers. When the first flower -heads of the clover have about half withered, ant the hay in the morning, after the dew is off, and begin at 3. p. m. to shake it up with forks or tackier, and cook up early enough in the afternoon to permit of the work being oompleted before the dew falle in the evening. The cooks are allowed to stand undisturbed the next day, but clue. ing following morning the bay is spread again to finish the dryieg, and drawn to the barn or Math before evening. It favored with fine weather, the hay so cured will he of excellent color, qual- ity and fragrance, and will command the highest price. 3.1 the weather is un. favorable or showery, keep the bay in cooks until it becomes fine again. Many farmers adopt the plan of allow- ing the newly cut hay to dry at once, as it falls from the mower, without putting it in cocks. Hay go cured is usually more or less bleached and does not retain the fine color and aroma which distin. guishes hay of first quality, and does not command so ready a sale or so high a price. WM.
