The Canadian Ticket Agents Assoc- iation held its 41st animal trip to Halifax early this month." Your Clin- ton contingent left FzidaYmorn- morn- ing, Oct7thon theearly and the -heavens wept to testify to the grief of those Cl'intonians who were left behind. After partaking of the daintily -served breakfast in the buffet car, followed by a perusal of the Mail and Empire, that•well appreciated in- centive to n-centive`to digestion and peace of mind, we arrived for the first time at the new depot in Toronto. This is truly a palatial building, but among its many attractions we must not omit mentioning that one is able to obtain.a most excellent meal at a flat rate of. 75c per head. That certainly is the place in Toronto to satisfy the wants of the inner man. We left Toronto on the Inter -city train of the C.N.R. at 1:30 and reached Mont- real at ont-teal,at 9:30. The weather cleared soon after leaving Toronto and from that time until after reaching home .on the 16th we ,had : a succession of bright sunshine and blue skies. " Tak- ing a taxi at Bonaventure depot we were . driven to the "Megan -tic?' as gueste of the White Star Line, and most generous hosts they proved to be. Of course bed was the desired haven for most, sleep . quickly fol- loewd, to bd disturbed at an early hour by the clank of cables and the patter of barefooted sailors on deck. Everybody,roused byhunge hunger if noth- ing else, ws early on deck, and down to breakfast in the salon before eight o'clock. The menu was all that we :;hoped for except for the oldest of our party, who had been talking' of the beauties of Yarmouth bloaters for days past, and how he would eat two -for the first breakfast. But the "best laid' plans," etc• proved true on- this occasion and the steward's soft English accented "Very sorry indeed, Sir, but there are none -hoot of the refrigerator yet, Sir," conveyed the sad news to our member ;who accept- ed the inevitable' with that'Spartanic sangfroid of the true Englishman A. Iovely sail down the majestic St: Lawrence was enhanced by the au- tumn tints in • all their glory. One feature was plainly' visible, the super- iority, generally, of architecture in Quebec compared to Ontario. We have to take a back seat and hope to live and learn. Of course we had to have some fun, so the livelier young aitembera.:,gct a.„large .:stealnea..Y`.dhiut: hunted 'round for the brides in the' party, of whom there were over half a dozhoisted them npand• araded u e deck. But they once aro nd the got fooled, for one bride, when in the chair was convulsed with laughter ma their setting, her down and asking why she laughed, said "You men don't' know e bride when you see one, ' Here is the portrait of my two year old baby!" Passing under the Quebec bridge we landed at Quebec and taxied to the. Chetteatt Frontenac, where- at 8 pan. we sat down to a real banquet given us by these Princes of -hospitality, the C.P.R. We say a real banquet because noting on the wisdonj of the ancients that good eating eequifes good drinking, they did not congeal our food nor seek to destroy digestion by huge goblets of iced water hut instead they served two wines of noble vintage. • The writer's pleasure was not les- sened at "being placed in the neat chair TO' that occupied by the grand- son of his old political . friend, Sir Hector Langevin, who spoke excellent English, and was pleased to be re- plied to by an Englishman in Parisian Trench, thus increasing the entente cordiale. The toast to the King was fol- lowed by brilliant Speeches and at 10 p.m. we taxied to"` the C.N.R. de t M po where a special train was drawn up to take us to Halifax., We had a lovely run next morning through the. Metapedie Valley, and at Moncton we were delighted to be met on the plat-. form by the charming smile of "May Rance." But we only had 10 mine ales ,of that pleasure and then on again, reaching Haliafx at 9:80 p.m., where we tasted the fine hospitality of the citizens in finding 'taxis pro- vided for our transport to the Hall fax 'Hotel, Take our advice and if you want a holiday that you will en- joy spend a week or a month at this hotel. Most reasonable in price and the cleanest, loveliest bed: rooms and such .a table! All kinds of fish,'fresh from the sea, salinan, turbot ,• soles, scallops, smelts and' lobsters. these latter were a revelation. .On Monday we held our -business meeting; On Tuesday a steamer took us allover the harbour and ;cars were provided after dinner to take us on a 40 -mile drive in and around Halifax. Espec- ially was pointed out to us the local- ity of the dreadful explosion. Few people up here have any idea of what. a frightful catastrophe that was, win- dows were shatteted 60 miles away. On Wednesday morning we made an early start by special train for Digby, a most beautiful ride through the Annapolis Valley, where you see seine real apples. Arriving : at Digby we took the C. P, R. "steamer "Empress" across the .Bay of Fundy fol,:', St. John;' and here we would like to "draw a veil. The Bay of_Funidf',.has a repu- tation, and it lived 'up to it.

SNOW HINDERED THRESHING. Mr. E. G. Eagleson, a -former Bay- field boy, writing from Norse, Sash.,. on Oct.14th, says: "In renewing ipy subscription to The Nova -Record I might say that we look forward to getting the paper each Week just like a letter from home, the; only differ- ence being, you can depend on it com-• ing. Letters' from home do not al- ways come, and letters hpme, it must be confessed, do not alwgys go when they should. Crops in 'thewest are turning. out good in places where the frost and rust did not hit, Threshing is being held up by rails and snow, andall business like About b s nese wise. fifty per cent, of threshing is still left to do here. at Morse?' WHITING UP: MAYOR JACI{SON. The last issue of "Shoe and Leath- er Journal" carried ,an article about Mayor Fred Jackson and picture of him, taken in a merrynnood. , The writer tells Mr. Jacksou'a,' methods of. salesmanship, ete., and also recounts some of the stories which Mr. Jack- son keeps in the back of :hhis mind re- garding early days. Ong; of these is to the effect that once while Mr. Jack- son was serving an apprrhnticeship in a leather, supply shop on Yonge street, Toronto, Timothy ;'Caton came in .and bought severai pieces of leath- er ,carrying'them away with him, and wlien°''his (Mr. Jacks(m's) "boss carie in and heard ofithe sale he anxiously asked if he had received tine cash for it. 'e - He also tells about yotteg "swells" in theearly days, who woke top boots and who insisted on having them so etight•>that:-it•.woei1d*talcV/tn hear to get into them, allele( nobody knows how long to get Diet of them again. So women, we gathr were not the only ones who need ,to wear tight boots. The Journal alma reproduces a couple of advertisements which orig- inally appeared' in The News -Record as "samples of the kind of advertis- ing•that has helped to keep business coming to Jackson's store?'
