Bear17.-- Many thanke for your Committee's. bind invitation to attend the "Victory Home Doming Re -union" to take place within a few days in my old hone town. I assure you it would be a great pleasure for me to be present on that occasion, and regret exceedingly my inability to be with yon, I sincerely hope the func- tion will be a huge success. I am sure it will, The doings in Brussels will be very much in my mind during the time the festivities last and I will be specula- ting with myself as to who will be there that I have not seen since school days. Many amusing and interesting inci- dents, of the past come to one's mind, Mid 10 is pleasant to reflect on them, when an event such as you have ar- ranged for is Shout to come off, I will not attempt t., relate any of these nor indulge in teminiscenoes, for 1 am quite sure with the number of old boys and girls you will have, you will be certain to hear lots of ancient his- tory, However, I am going to men- tion :1 items, which if it were possible to place on the program of Monday anti Tuesday, as "special added attrac- tions," (that is what they say in movie ads.). would prove such an in- ducement that former residents would put fortis a special effort to reach the "Oarpet Town" for the occasion. The first of these special features 1 13ase match would be a B e B I l a nt tch between the "Clipper's" of Brussels and the "Unions" of Wroxeter and Gorrie, such as we used to witness back in the eighties, with the score running from 30 up. Speaking of,tlie "Clippers" the majority of the team, when they were what I used to think the great- est ball players in the world, are in business in Brussels note, They are, Dave and Jim Ross, Billy Grewar, Noble Gerry, Frank Stretton and Andy Gerrie, The second attraction would be to have the Brussels Braes Band, of those base ball days, supply the mesio for the Re.union, under the leadership of Harry Whitely. The town band of my early days had two outstanding features that appealed to me as noth- ing short or marvellous. One was the great horn our good friend the late "Dick" Hingston used to play. It was the circular base and the coils of braes passed around his chest like a boacon- strictor. The other was the perform- ances of Dave "Dyke" Wilson on the "kettle" drum. Early impressions are lasting. The third item I would re- serve until after supper,—let the people have a chance to talk over the ball game and the band mesio—then have them. all come down town and witness a run with the fire apparatus bythe original company a 1 under the g P y e direction of Chief Tom (Smith. As a kid I thought the performances of these or ganizations were great, and I thiel[ so yet, But enough of this. I passed the invitation on to R, R, Farrow, who, though not originally a Brussels boy, is well known there and is keenly interested in the Re -union, and if it were possible for him to get away, he would like nothing better than to take a trip top to the old tOwu and skip a rink on the green against a rink skipped by Dave Ross, Mt'. Farrow, Leon Jackson, W. F. Scott and myself, I think constituting your representatives here, join fn melting you every success, You will likely hear from Leon, he told me to- day he would try and find time to write you. My kindest regards to a11, residents or home comers, specially remember. ing the soldier boys, Yours sincerely, ALES, Ross, P. S,—If you could put on that ball game I mentioned I am quite sure George Brown and Jim Forsyth, form- erly of Wroxeter, would go up far it. Ask Jim Fox if he doesn't think so. CAPTAIN LEON F. JACit50M WRITES My DEARSm.—I regret exceeding- ly that oitoumstauces render it im- possible to take advantage of your kind invitation to be present at the "Victory Home Coming Reunion" of Brneeels Old Boys and Girls. Although itis many years since it has boon my privilege to visit the old t..wn toy 1lo ughte have been product, f 7yP t very pleasant me pciee. What. a pletteure indeed it would be to @ee some of the all faces and talk over the days of 30 years ago, As a boy the ball teams were of course of most intent, ft was a youthful ambition, generally, to qualify for a place on the Brussels Aesociation Football Team, and Dopy load some 0e0.110 in those days too let me toll you, whilst the "Clipper*" of coulee were the beet over. Two of the "Clipper's" sepeeially were the heroes of thejuvenile genera- tion. "Jim" Ross was the champion "swatter" and ro11d always be depend- ed upon to flit out a long drive into the right field, whilst "Billy" Grewar was simply idolized because of the mysterioue power he possessed to make the hall curve in its flight to- wards the home plate. I remember the catcher need a finger glove in times (Jaye and 1 think ie was Brock who used to catch with a slice of "Andy" Carrie+'s beefsteak in the palm 01' his glove. Then who hasn't been up to the "swimming bole" above the darn and had some of the other lads "chew beef" on him whilst he was in the water. As the little boys say "Oh 1 +hem's the days." In closing, Mr. Black, let me express the hope that the Re -union will prove to be a big success, and at the same time extend to yourself, the other members of the committee and all en- quiring friends, my heartiest greet- ings and good wishes, Yours Sincerely, LEON F. JACKSON. J. 1''. 1toweaxt , MANAGER STANDARD BANK, KINGSTON, SAYS : DaAtt alis BLACK.—Your very Lind luvitatien to the "Oki Boys" arrived anei ,t ie with 0000010 regret I have to advi e you it will be impossible for he LO lie there. As usual the children got possession of the invitation and 1 am not sure who the Secretary is but feel safe you are the man. We all looked forward to being there but when date was announced I knew it would be impossible. We were on a motor trip on 19th and ran into Rev, Mr, Wren and family at;Belleville, Mr, Wren looks fine and the children have grown so you would never haveknown them. He was looking forward very much to his visit to Brussels and I think h.e said be was down for a speeoh. We are well and busy as usual. Ex- pect to get a holiday some time in August and at present expect to spend at least a day in the old town. THE POST comes regularly and I know there must be a great many changes. Two men I knew well, H. James and Jae. Davis, have departed and there are others I don't expect to see. I hope you have fine weather and a rousing time and only wish it were possible for us to be there for 1 can look back on the 10 years spent there as the happiest time of my life, for Brussels people were good to us and we haven't forgotten them, Mrs. Rowland joins me with very kindest words and wishing you a happy Res union. Yours sincerely, J. F, ROWLAND. ADDITIONAL LOCALS Too. Long's name is in the list of com- petitors for awards offered by Toronto World, which closes August zoth.
