Huron County council and county officials foregathered at Bayfield on Friday afternoon last, not on busi- ness intent this time but purposely to spend a social afternoon. •And, so we are assured by those who were there, so successful did the gathering prove that it was suggested that the affair be an annual one. The members of the county parlia- ment were accompanied by their wives and in many cases members of their families also, 'and a happy group was the result. The afternoon was givan up to sports of various kinds and during its course Mr, G. W. Holman the genial clerk, and his bride were presented with a pair of very handsome upholstered chairs, An appreciative and congratulatory address was read by Reeve Laporte of Hay and the presentation was made by Reeve Tipling of Wingham. Mr. Holman made reply in his own well-known style, heartily thanking his friends for their kind words and handsome gift. All the members of the council with the exception of six were present, Ex -reeves Cantelon and Ford of Clinton were guests. SECOND DAY OF CHAUTAUQUA.. "Pamahasika" has for the last quarter of a century been the syn-' onym for the most remarkable achievements in the line of bird and animal training. He has produced the greatest troop of educated birds the world has ever seen. His trained birds are a very special feature and will appear on the evening of July 14th. One must not get the impression that this is merely a vaudeville turn, for • it is an entertainment of large proportion occupying the entire ev- ening, and will prove of intense in- terest to both children and grown- ups. In connection with the enter- tainment, Professor Pamahasika will give a demonstrating lecture enlight- ening his auditors upon the methods of bird and animal training, ill which he will show the erroneousness of the opinion that this training is the result of force and cruelty, but rather of the utmost kindness. One of the best known women of Canada is Miss Constance Boulton of Toronto, who will lecture the second day, July 14th. She is known as a lecturer throughout Canada. She has been especially chosen to speak to Chautauqua audiences this year, and more especially to those interest- ed in the development of Canadian Womanhood, upon the subject of the Place of Canadian Women in the World of Today. There is no one better able to handle the subject in satisfactory way than Miss Con- stance Boulton. "Miss Boulton is of highest char- cter and extraordinary gifts as a public speaker", -Hon, H. J. Cody. "She is one of our most represent- ative women. She has always taken he deepest interest in social and public affairs, and is a most elo- uent and able speaker." -Hon. Sir homes White:' Miss Boulton ton did much recruiting vork during the war, We are unusually fortunate in se- uring Mr. Stout to deliver his lee- une on the subject " t of "Seeing J set Life g e Whole," The third day, July 15th, This is a lecture with a purpose, furnishii 1 material• ' fo the r g r moral and ntellectual structure of the common.- ty. It is a lecture that emphasizes the e sseiitiali ie t S of courage, .a a fait g, faith, motor and vision. vson. M• r. Stout has I honoured during the past year I being elected to the Presidency of: the International Chautau`gna and Lyceum Association, which in. it- self pays a high tribute to the high stand he occupies in the lecture world,. Mr, Stout has been connected both with business and University life and Mas gained much practical wisdom :ha he " t ms now esideavoinrg to bestow 1po Iiia p n s auditors by the vehicle of thi lecture, enure whieh e will furnish h both pleasmre and profit in an unusual legree, A 'splendid program will also be given on the third day by the Wagner. an Quartet of Boston, which ranks among the very finest of stringed Quartets, and which bas Miss An- gusta 000p01', a soleitt of unusual abilit with a ver'.. a yttract] o y v 1• ca oia- ur soprano a o of v co They ey will render. 0;ne of the finest music in a way fiat will appeal to the lovers of mus- , as well as to those whose ears are tuft so finely trained They will also give some of the mese popular colic THE BOY SCOUTS, The Clinton Troop will go to Camp on Monday next.

The camp will break up on Tuesday the 13th of July, SURPRISED HIMSELF, Mr.' W. 11, Hellyar was in Toron- to last week attending the annual convention of jewelers and, we take this as a proof that jewelers. are much the same as other people, they spent one clay picnicking at Centre I land enjoying the r s J Y g breezes of Lake Ontario and havinjg a nice sociable time together. They had probably decided : on several price advances before this.' Among other amusements indulged in at this social gathering they had a foot race and our townsman, Mr. Hellyar, crossed •the rope first and carried off first prize, a handsome watch chain. Mr. Hellyar was him- self 'rather surprised when be was awarded the prize and when the news reached his home his eldest son was heard to remark: "They must have been a phoney bunch of runners; be- lieve me, when Had got the prize." So is a man sized up in his own household. PHELAN-CARBERT NUPTIALS.

We feel we cannot rightly or fully express our appreciation of your work and realizing how futile words are to ex- press all that one feels we would at this interesting time when you are about to make a new home with the one you have chosen as a life compan- ion, as we cannot be present on the eventful occasion to shower you with confetti and cast the proverbial old shoes after you, ask you to accept this momenta of our appreciation, love and fellowship and assure you that a perfect shower of good wishes will follow yon.to your new home and we trust that your voyage through life together may be happy and blessed with just enough clouds to make a glorious sunset. We assure you of a hearty welcome when you can find it possible to be with us at any future time and as a con- gregation me pray "God's blessing go with you".
