On April 1802 appears, "There. is
a movement on foot among the con-
gregations' of
on-gregations'of Ontario and Rotten-

and build a church large enough to
accommodate all." The movement,
evidently, did not materialize.
Feb. 2, 1892. John Torrance, reeve
of Stanley, defeated Win; Milne of
Gray for the Wardenship by 26 to. 25,
a political fight in those days. At the

A Raising Bee
• I remember Very distinctly being
invited to a raising at Willie Weir's
farm, just outside of Clinton, in 1894.
We were told to come in our working
clothes. Jim Fair wore an old slouch
hat, a Waterbury watch, a hickory
shirt, a faded coat, with overalls to
match. The bottoms 'of the overalls
were stuffed into a pair of long boots,
with once red leather tops.
•, Andy Porter was allowed tocome
in his ordinary clothes, as Syd Smith
remarked that Andy's. as
was agri-
cultural enough to be painted : on a
hay fork.
Bob Agnew was on deck with an
old red muffler which he 'used to wear
'not say how long they were returning. when goingto school in the country,

been built, everything was ready for March 20; 1895: In these days boys
an old time raising. began early to organize sports. In
Billy Coats and Joe Wheatley were this issue is the following: Baseball:
chosen captains, Billy won the toss This manly pastime will be among,
and Bob Holmes of the New Era was the leading sports in Clinton during
his first choice. "Sandy Innes,"
shouted Joe. "A good .plower, but no
use at this raising," quoth Billy. "I
will take Syd . Smith,". said Billy.
"Jim Fair," yelled Joe. `Lack' Ken-

en-nedy ' retorted Billy. "Alex. Ingles,'
said Joe. .t°Excuse me," said Mex.
"I am nae the mon I was thearty year
ago. I will carry the water jug, if
it please ye," "Joe Rattenbury,"
yelled "Joe,and so the choosing went
on; and by twoo'clock a good start.
was effected.
It was a goodly sight to Geo. Mc-
Taggart and his assistant, Bill Coun-
ter,`hauling with well-groomed hands
at the rough end of an amateur saw-
log. "It's worse than cleaning an In-
gersoll watch," said Bill. "Isn't it
about time the supper bell blew?"
breathlessly asked Gall Holloway, as
he drove home a pin with a heavy
setting maul, with which Bob Holmes
forces his editorials upon a suffering
public. "I hope we have more than
`bisticks' and cheese," says Gall.
"You will observe I do nothing but
saw wood," said Phil Crews. Phil was
cutting a, joist and just then he drew
the linen edge of the saw across his
fingers, He said something and
saw stars. "Hurry 'up with those
groceries," yelled Ogle :Cooper, "or
we will be beatten" Bert Kerr wiped
his forehead on the 'sleeves -of his
checked flannel shirt, rolled up the
dizzy precipice or a sad,?ing plank,
pushing a wheelbarrow laden with
rafters ahead of him.
"Whoop La," shouted Bill Coats, as
he missed a. nail with his hammer
and bisected his index finger at right
angles. "You are better at striking
a tax rate," wasthe remark of Dick
Fair at this mishap. Just then the
supper bell rang and it was a pic-
ture to see them all run for the table.
In order to keep up with the grand
old custom of the country, Billy Weir
had set a. special table for the hired
Man . The place was unanimously
awarded to Bob Downs. The choice
was justified by the victuals he con-
sumed, Jim Ford had just tackled
his. second .piece of pumpkin pie when
the whistle blew for work. He took
it with hint to the barn.

clay took possession of the book and
stationery business purchased from
R. Spalding ,and he has held it ever
since. "Often the cheapest, always
the best."
July 6, 1895: The officers of the
33rd`Regiment held- their annual din-
ner at the Rattenbury House tonight.
Among those present were the follow-
ing: Lt. -Col. A. " Wilson; Surgeon
Holmes; Copts. Combe, Rance, Todd,
Forrester, Howard Jackson, Beck,
Maj. Jordan, ,Maj. Wilson, Capt. Rob-
erts, Capt. Hays, W. Shaw, G. D. Me -
Taggart, John Young, W. Ransford,
W. Jackson, Lt. M. D. MeTaggart, R.
McDonald, Dr. Freeborn, Capt. Wil-
liams. Very few of these officers
are now in the army. The speeches
were numerous. John Elmsford is re-
ported as singing a song illustrating
prominently that every living being
was tainted with Gritism or. Tory-
ism. An enchore was, demanded and
he tang "He's an Englishman"_ Evi-
dently John did not prophecy that
there might be a 3rd party, the Pro-
gressives, born in,the 20th century.
Mr. W. Jackson asked the officers
to take into their serious considera-
tion Borne plan of going to war for.
trade effects. His was more ;prophetic
he also sang "Old Black Joe."
Capt. Todd, in responding to the
Local Corps, mentioned :the short:
sightedness of the opposition in ser -
Bain quarters to the proper mainten-
ance of the Canadian Militia. •
Capt. Forrester compared the Can-
adian and English solder, saying the
former were more apt students" than
the latter, concluding that rural
regiments were starved and too much
money squandered at headquarters.
Capt. Beck said he joined the
force in 1865, was on duty at the
Fenian Raid and told some reminis-
cences.
Capt. Rance recited "Excelsior"
in his usual good style.
G. D. ]McTaggart responded to
'Trade and Commerce"' and as a
taxpayer concurred in any expendi-
ture for the militia and that in com-
parison Canada was in as good a
position as any ,other. Capt. Combe
said such gatherings as this educated
the members and that much bene-
fit resulted from boys joie:Mg the
force.
The Ladies were responded to by
L. MeTaggart and R. J. McDonald.
Storms:. In those old 'days there
were some storms.
The following 1 can vouch for, as
my old friend and reliable citizen,
Wm. Marland, was an eye witness. He
was plowing in the field' near the
bush when he heard a great roar,
Looking around the dust was so thick
he lost sight of the bush. .Ile at
once unhitched the team and turned
them towards the barn and he and
they got, there .as fast ars possible.
Cap. Morrish was• the lucky one
to cateh the keg so: he was elected
to be torch bearer. tram sandwiches
and "twofers" were passed around
an d Billy Weir hitched up the hay
rack and drove us home, a tired
crowd.
Wednesday, June 17, 1896: The
Dauntless Lacrosse Club goes to.

June 19, 1896: Cricket Match. A
very interesting game of cricket was
played between the married and
single men. The score was 64 to 67
in favor of the married men, whose
side was composed • of H. C. Bruce,
Dr. Agnew, Dr. Bruce, T. Johnston,

Bowlers: Away back in 1893 Clin-
ton organized a Bowling Club and
constructed a green behihd the sold
Molsons Bank. But this soon became
too small to accommodate the-menr-
bers. Those playing then were W.
W .Farran, D .A. Forrester, J. P. Tis-
dale, D. L. Macpherson, Lack Ken-
nedy, H. C. Brewer, W. Jackson, John
Johnson, J. W. Irwin, John Harland
and G. D. McTaggart. The Club se-
cured grounds and laid down ten
greens where the present quarters
are. Success came from steady prac-
tice and at local tournaments: They
won many prizes and soon became
ambitious and sent a rink to
Niagara to play' at the Dominion
tournament, composed of G. D. Mc-
Taggart, Billy Jackson, •Davey'For-
rester and J. P. Tisdale. They re-
ported a grand time,
But the greatest victory was
achieved at London' at the Western,
Ontario Bowling Tourney in'' July,
1903, When the rink skipped by W.
Jackson won the Labatt Trophy, em-
blematical of the championship of On-
tario, which meant Canada, and the
second prize, called the Association,
won lw W. P. Spalding's rink, first
prize in doubles won by Hoover and
Agnew. This record has never been
equalled ,by a single club in one sea-
son. The trophy rink was W. Bry-
:done, D. A. Forrester, Jas. Fair, W.
Jackson.
The visit of the British Bowlers
was an important event in the his-
tory of the game ho Clinton. They
were welcomed at a banquet provided
by the ladies in the town hall. In the'
afternoon the Clinton •Club defeated
the British by 5 shots, being the se-
cond on the tour to aeeontplish this
task.
Talk about old times and old tim-
ers. here's a report of a Dominion
Day Celebration in Clinton, July 1,
1874, just 51 years ago. It says the
Barss Band played from the roof of
Searle and Davis' store (you' could
not hit them with bad eggs up there)
and opened the day's proceedings,
which consisted of : Calithumpian
parade, . Horse races and athletic
sports . You will find Joe Copp the
chief winner and Joe'Wheatley•oame a
close second. Joe Copp took first in
standing jump, 12 ft. 11 in.; F. Moul-
ton second.; Three standing jumps,
Copp lst, 36 ft. 1r/e in. Running, hop,
step and jurrp, Joe Copp, 45 ft. -9 in.,
Joe Wheatley second. (Pole (Fault,
R. Foster, •J. Foster. Running jump,
Joe Copp ,19 ft. 9 in.; Ben Cole 2nd.
100 yard race, Joe Wheatley, lst;.
Sandy Taylor 2nd. 200 yard race,
Joe Wheatley, ist; Wan. Jones 2nd.
These records in this vicinity have
never been beaten.
• The running hop, step and jump
was an extra good jump.
The athletes of today with coach-
ing and training by professionals
have not equalled these marks in this
county.
In 1871 at . Bayfield on 24th' of
May: ' Men's foot race, Joe Copp, lst;
Tom Cameron, 2nd. Standing jump,
Joe Copp,, B. Cole. Running ,Jump,
Joe Copp, B. Cole. Hop, step and
junl)0, Joe Copp, G. J. Austin! Joe
has raised two pretty fair athletes
but neither has shown the class of
their dad.
On July 2nd, 1874 the following
item appears::
"New Butcher Shop. R. Fitzsim-
ons begs
itzsiin-ons'begs to announce to the inhabi-
tants of Clinton and vienity that he
has opened b new butcher Shop op-
posite the market; where he will be
pleased to meet; all his old customers
and as many new ones as may favor
him with their custom. Al'l kindsf.

I doubt if any of the old timers are.
still in the same class of business as
long as Bob and still going strong:
Memories: ,,.There are a few, events
which occurred during my first few.
years' residence in Clinton. The first
was .a St. Andrew's dinner, giver; by2
Sons of Scotland on Nov. 3rd, 189
The previous year Murray Camp 5.
0. 5. had been organized and Chief.
P.W. Fortune tune and the officers` deter,
misled, to hold the the In st 'St. And •tew's

As almost every Sc0ttin l
and vicinity had become members the
'ecU.a A. N. )14.4tiia'0W...,.1
`only hotel .man at that time eligible
to be called Scotch, and after con-
sulting his mother, -vho by the way,
was a better Scot than .Lack, as' she
was "Hielan," decided :to serve •the
dinner. Mrs. Kennedy pleasantly
agreed to looks after the cooking, but
regretfully ,announced she could not
make the "Haggis", a most essential
part of the banquet. Mrs. Thos. Fair,
having a mare than local reputation
for making this most wonderful and
rare dish, agreed most willingly. In
those' -days the O.T.A. had not been
born so the liqurcl refreshment part
was easily ;pi•ocut;ed.
The dinnerP rovided has never been
surpassed ;or even equalled before or
since. ' It has gone down as history.
Thos. Fortune was Chief and John
Croll, Chieftain; Jitnmy Ross and
Jack Dingwall, Pipers. • . Some of the
guests were: Wm. Murray, SandyMc-
Murchie, Jas. Fair; Alex, and Jimmy
Tngles, Ivan McGarva, Geo. McTag-
gart, Colquhoun, D. A. Forrester, D.
L. and D. F. Macpherson, W, Coats,
Jas. and Norman Fait, 3. J. and Ren-
nie McDonald, W. P. Spalding, McGill
Dixon, Charlie Duncan,Harry In-
gsanr,• M. D. 1VIcTaggart, D. McAllis-
ter, W. Weir, Dr. Gunn,Dr. Turnbull,
and some • who were: half Scotch, as
Will and Tom' Jackson, Syd Smith,
Barry Combe, Torr -Rance and N.
Robson.
It is unnecessary to say the ;ban-
quet was a grand success.., We sat
down serene and complacent in front
of our Haggis and our whiskey on one
side ,surrounded. by our bag pipes in
the complete ' enjoyment of our na-
tional pleasure. 'Of .course the Eng-
lish and Irish have no national dish
or national music so wouldn't enjoy
such a• banquet. We began the din-
ner with the usual ceremony with the
Haggis at 8 p.m. and closed with
Auld Lang Syne at 6 next morning.
The toasts were many and all drunk
in true highland fashion, the speech -
ea excellent. To those Englishmen
like John Ransford, : who may not
have seen Highland Honors at such
gatherings the following will ex-
plain:
When the 'Toasts are given with
Highland Honours the whole of the
company rises with the Chief. Tho
warden secures the door and stands
at attention:
.The toast to the Patron Saint, St,
Andrew, The Chief and company,',

Followed by three hurrahs at the final
hurrah the piper will strike up a few
bars of a stirring mleody: The Chief
and company retiring, to their seats.
Toasts with : f_Jighland Honours can
only be proposed by the Chief and
the.
piper shall only play at° his rel -
quest.
Lion Alexander of Toronto sent the
following lines: •
"I' wish you joy St. Andrew's nicht,
Till morning sun comes glinting,,•
Sing loud and dance, skirl pipes WVmight,
I'll turn my ear to Clinton.",
"Good night and joy be wi'ye a'
And I wish my grannie saw ye."
I remember distinctly the origin
and development of the 25 Glob In
1893. In the beinning the members'
listwas limited to 25 men. Only
those unmarried were eligible. The
objects were, as noted in The News-
Record of that date: "This commend-

mprovement. The debates are proving
snore interesting with each meeting..
They are of a national nature, such as
broaden the mind and intellect of
young men. The next debate_ will be
"Prohibition."
The rules and . constitution had to
be radically revised, as the months
went by, for the resignations began
to come in So rapidly on account of
many forsaking their bachelor ways.
So we struck out that clause and if
we hadn't, there would only have been
three members left, Dan Macpherson,
W. E. hand and Dick Fair. But
to our great surprise and delight W.
D. quietly forsook the other two, who
to this moment have never had the
courage to propose.
