old London and gave a very interest.
ing account of his early life, rising
from a boot-blaok on the streets, to

Clark is a natural born orator. He
handles his subject iu a masterly
manner, while his powers of mimicry,
description and humor cannot be sup-
erseded. To attempt even a faint
description of bis lecture is not to be
done without giving it in detail. It
must be heard to be enjoyed. Mr.
Clark was born in London, of Irish

THE TUB TURNED
UPSIDE D01/71\14.
Adam Good, in last week', Pear, obargad
me with having made, in a previous ieaue
of the paper, false and malicious state-
ments ooncerning him, and that he hae
been reluetently compelled to piaihe the
matter in the hands of his lawyers.
In placing this matter iu their hands,
does it not occur t0 every unprejudiced
reader that he has been doing las best, or
worst, to add insult to injury. Adam
Good in his first advertisement after the
Fair took it upon himself to animadvert in
no measured terms concerning lbe quality
of leather used by other ehoemakere, and
very broadly gave it to bo understood that
they wore using material of a °heap and
very inferior gnaliiy.
He then spoke of a tanner who went in-
to his shop to purchase leather who gave
bim, Adam Good, to understand that ho
was usiogleather of a quality altogether
superior to that used by other shops. Sohn
Kneobtel was that tanner. My shop was
the only other shop he visited. Therefore
that thrust was levelled at me.
The kips Kneahtel looked at in my shop
were too large for thepurpose required, and
he went to Adam Good's where he seleoted
a mailer hide, as he only wanted to out a
certain number of fronte out of it. iia de-
nies giving Adam Good the slightest grounds
for using hie opinion in the manner the did.
He denies in tote having expressed any op•
inion at all upon the subject- He says
Good himself did all the blowing (which
I could very readily believe) and he did not
consider that he hsd any business to oon-
tradict him.
Good, no doubt, anxious for foundation
for one of his sensational yarns, jumped to
the conclusion that $Wachtel acquiesced.
Good then sneeringly goes on to enum-
erate the names of the .different kinds of
leather I had exhibited at the Fair. Among
other names be quoted "Exceleisaimus"
kip. This word he never saw applied to
leather nor used in conneotion with leath-
er until he saw it hung up on my exhibits.
This, I hold to bo unmistakable evidence
that it was me and my leather ho was
writing about in Tun Poen.
Then be goes on to mention French kip,
made in Newmarket, Ont.
Whose Freaoh kip was it he alluded to?
Somebodys in $eaforth, Wingham or Listo-
wel Not likely. He had no controver-
sy with them, it was someone nearer home
he aimed at, and to my mind there cannot
be a shadow of a doubt that that person
was me.
That statement was intended to be in-
jurious. One man does not soak to injure
another man through good motivoe. If
not through good, motives. then 0 must
have been'the reverse, through evil motives.
Evil and maliciooeness have the same de-
rivation, therefore maliaiouenesa was the
proper word to use, when Adam Good
made that statement he knew there was
no foundation for it. If there was no
foundation for it then 0 was false, no mat-
ter to whom or to whose leather it applied
and 0 must have been intended to serve a
bad purpose.
This m my answer to his allegation that
I made false and inalicioue statements con-
cerning him. If I have erred in supposing
that it was me and my leather he alluded
to, I am ready to apologize for my erron-
eous supposition,
At the show I beat him in a fair and open
competition and was awarded the two
First Prizes for my boots, that is for both
work and material combined. A boot is
not judged by its make only, but by its
make and material both being noeoesery to
the production of a first-class article.
The only prize Adam Good won in a
legitimate manner et the Fair was a 2nd
Prize for 'coarse boots, concerning this
prize eines the Show Good has been die.
