The high class of racing given the public for the past few years war- rants a bumper attendance, as the As- sociation are sparing no pains to pro- vide the spectators with clean racing. The first race will be called at 2.00 o'- clock but attendants will be on hand to look after cars parked at noon. The usual silver trophy will be given to the horse breaking the track record and the Directors are in com- munication with Mr,•'Thrower to have Grattan Bars pace an exhibitionmile. It will he retne'mbered that Grattan ,Bars broke the Canadian record for a half anile track. here last year but later on in the season cut a second off and it would be fitting 'to have him come and ell .another second off, p ria thus leaving the Canadian .record a the Seaforth track. COUNTY OFFERS SCHO- LARSHIP TO STUDENT IN AGRICULTURE. The Huron County Council at its June session voted $50 toward a scho- larship for a county boy attending ;the Ontario Agricultural College. This amount will be supplemented by a similar suns from the Massey fund at the College. That is to say, the lucky student will receive $100 during his first year at the College. This amount should represent a large part of the first year's expenses of a boy attend- ing that institution, The conditions are briefly as fol- lows: (1). Applicants should be farm- ers' sone residing in Huron county. (2). Applicants must be eighteen years of age on or before Sept. 21st, 1928, the opening day of College. (3). Ap- plicants must be those contemplating entering the two-year course. This is known as the associate course. (4) Applicants should figure on taking up farming as their vocation at the con- clusion of their college course. (5). Only one scholarship is available for the year 1928-29. (6), The total amount of the scholarship is $100, payable part in the Fall term and part in the Winter term. (7)..APP licati n s along with character and other re- commendations should be mailed to the Ontario Department of Agricul- ture, 'Ciin•ton, not later than August 15th. (8).> If a number of applica- tions are received it may be necessary to have the applicants appear before a committee in order to decide the win- ner, 'It is unnecessary to dwell here upon the advantages of a course in Agri- culture at such a well known institu- tion. There should be no scarcity of suitable applicants. Therefore; it is hoped that any boy contemplating entering the O.A.C. this Fall will make an effort to win a worth while scholarship. WRITES FROM ENGLAND, Thefollowing is a recent letter re- ceived ,by Mr. and Mrs. William Adams, of Seaforth, from Miss Eve- lyn Adams, who 'taught in Manches- ter, England, this year on the teacher exchange plan, by which Old' Country teachers exchange places with teach- erse .Emire. m various pants ofthe p Miss Adams' engagement to Mr. J. G. MdDermid, of London, Ont., was published in The News last week. The groom will ,meet ,the boat at Mon- treal the 'first week in August and the wedding will take place on board ship immediately after arrival. Thursday, June 7, 1928. Dear Folks :— I ,want to catch • the mail that leaves for tomorrow's boat so I'm just going to say .that I'm feeling 'fine and I am as brown as can be !from being at the sea -side. tWe had a week's i otiday at 'Whitsuntide—a great holiday time here—and 'S went for a trip with League of the:Etnpire which is the committee which ar- ranges the 'Exchange for teachers. There were 50 of us on the trip—Can- adians, South Africans and Austral- ians, They were all women and all teachers. But we had a very good time. There were 50 of us and the trip was all arranged for us. 'Every- body spoke with a different accent. The ''South Africans had a funny twang but spoke mgst like English people do, The Australians spoke just like cockney English we get out in Canada, They would get as road as could be when we imitated them. 01 course, they all made fun of the way the ;Cenadituls talked. An English girl who teaches at the school, called Sybil 'Walker, went along' with me oil, the trip so we had a funny mixture and she quite enjoyed hearing us all talk at once. We, went all down through Devonshire and Cornwall This is supposed to be one of the beauty spots of England and it was beautiful, 'We travelled in big base, which held about 25. people. They call these buses "charabancs" and "charas" for short. You can take the trips down and they are all open like a touring car. You see them every- where going on long trips. It is cer- tainly one way to cover .the country when you haven't a car of your own. Each night we stayed at a different place and that made it very exciting except, of re we always s e ep , course, u s ,seemed to be packing and unpacking our lhses, I\Ve went to a lovely little village in Devon called Clovelly. It is a little 'fishing village and it is built on the side of the hill, the houses going right down to the edge of the water. There is only one street and the houses are right up against it—no lawns or gardens. The street is all small cobblestones and it goes in little steps, It is very steep and little don- keys carry, you up and down. You sit on 'their backs and really it is wonder- ful to see these patient woe animals carrying people who would make two of the little donkey. 'Weighing 136 lbs, myself I felt it would be cruelty to animals to get on one's back but I can tell you I puffed as I climbed up. The quay is all built of stones and at high tide they bring in all their fish and weigh them and then take them up this steep little street to all the towns around. I thinlc Hiked this little village better than any other place, It was so quaiet and quite un- like anything I had ever seen before. We went to Plymouth and there we "Thej saw over Iron Duke" a batt e- ship that was Admiral Jellicoe's flag- ship in the battle of Jutland. It was very interesting and we saw how a lieutenant was fired. The who showed us was t as Canadian and he was telling us that every time a torpedo was fired in the war it cost which is roughly the nation £400 7g Y $2,000. .Is it any wonder that the English are still payisvi off a huge war debt? 'I saw the Eddystone light- house here and was quite thrilled to see i't. We got lost from thh party at Ply- mouth so we wandered around' by our- selves and met them at" the train later on. From that trip which lasted till Tuesday from Friday (isn't that Dutch?) we went to friends of Sybil's at 'Southampton. From Southampton we went to the Isle of !Wight. It was a lovely sail and we stayed at a tiny place called Totland Bay. The sea is the most beautiful shade of --blue around the island and at one place called Alum 'Bay the cliffs were all colours, red and green and mauve and pink—really a picture. But now I am back at work waiting impatiently for July 27th when I can sail home and see you all again. I am so homesick for you all. Must stop! I'm at Sybil's for tea and writing away while she is washing for Inc. Evie. Phone 84. Is/The mind has a thousand eyes, t, And tll'e heart • but, one; Yet the light of a whole life dies When its love le done. ...Francis 1V. Bourdillon. $1 A YEAR.

The executive would again call the attention of the public to the need for quietness while the numbers are being given. Children who attend without their parents should be instructed in this respect, 'because those farther back from the stand cannot enjoy the music. Some drivers still ungener- ously persist in starting their motors while the band or orchestra is play- ing, and thus spoil the softer strains for those who wish to hear. Every- one ver - one (and this includes you) will ap- preciate your courtesy in the !natter, forth, graduate d front the lI EAST HURON ENTRANCE. At Seaforth, Celestine O'Leary and Elsie Drover stood highest with 640 marks each out of total of 750, the former from the Separate school, the latter from the Public school.
