SOUVENIR BOOKLET Continued From Fagg One Seaforth is reached by the Buffalo & Goderich branch of the Grand Trunk Railway and is provided with an excellent train service by this great railway system,, This is one of the best stook shipping 'points in the Dominion. Seaforth hotels have a wide repute ation as being among the best, 'They are five in number, andall do aflour- ishing business. Many improvements in the way of drainage, sidewalks and street repair are going on at present. Oldboard walks all over the town are being re. placed with splendid granolithio walks, and the new main drain that is now being excavated costs the town in the neighborhood of $8,000. But Seaforth people do not neglect the social and recreative sides of life. Probably no town in Ontario takes a greater interest in athletic sports. Lacrosse, football, lawn bowl- ing, tennis, hockey and curling is re- presented. Matches in either of these sports always get well pateenized. The outlook for a good lacrosse team next season is very encouraging, and the boys expect to travel in a fast class. It would be a strange thing in- deed, if, with the team Seaforth can put in the field next year, the cham- pionship trophy does not find a home here. Seaforth is a good slim town; that is, if the attractions are of an elevat- ing. refined and instructive nature, and this is the kind of show our opera house manager always tries to book. The summer meet of the Seaforth Turf Club deserves special mention. It occurs usually in June or July and lasts two days. ,The big purses off- ered bring the speedy trotters, pac- ers and runners to town and give our people a chance to see good races. * * * Information and illustrations con- cerning many of the stores and bus- iness places is given.

Anyone who has ever had to do with a baud knows what a herculean task it is' to hold a band together in a small town like Seaforth, In foot, unless the Hearty co-operation of the citizensand in- dustries is not extended it is well- nigh impossible. Among the retired members of the band to whom great credit is due for their interest in its behalf, are Messrs. Thos, Murray and Seymour Watson, now in California, Thos. R. Brown, traveling, and Maj - ,or James A, Anderson and Mr. Arch- ibald Barton, residents of Seaforth. The present bandmaster, Mr. Will McLeod, has been a member of the band for years, and even' when a youngster was frequently called upon to assume its leadership.

WESTERN ONTARIO Western Ontario is an area frequ- ently mentioned, possibly most often when referring to something as be- ing in Western Ontario. The Ont- ario farm bulletins come to the rescue of the ordinary person who •up to now has had only a hazy idea ofwhat is meant by "Western Ontario." Western Ontario, accord- ing to the bulletin, is made up of the ten counties of Bruce, Dufferin, Grey, Halton, Huron, Peel, Perth, Simcoe, Waterloo and 'Wellington.
