THE FALL FAIR. • At the last meeting of the Seaforth Agricultural Society the prize list was revised, and a number of classes added in every\ department with a generous increase in the prize money, The list is now right up=to-date 'and compares favorably with that of any other society in the district. Among the important changes made was in the Baby Beef class which is now oniy open to boys and girls 16 years and under. For this class six cash prizes will be given. In addition to two good horse races there will be a two mile relay ,horse race open to teams of four horses and riders each from \ieKlilop, 'rsiekersmith, ;Httt- lett and 'Ribbert, Each horse is to run half a .mile, when rider delivers flag to his team mate. .Riders and horses must belong to their respec- tive townships. Talk about thrills— well here it isl For the team pull- ing contest there will be no machine, just tate old-fashioned stone boat loaded with bags, each bag earmarked with the weight. Hook on your team and pull down a generous chunk of prize money. Between horse races a good program of events for boys and girls will be run off. In the evening the usual concert. will be field in Cardno's Opera hall, for which the !Directors are now en- deavoring to secure the best talent. HAD TO LAUGH. It seems a very difficult task for the to refrain from laughing when this funny occurrence which happen- ed in Tuckersmith, comes to my mind, the occasion being that of a young man who was coming from Seaforth. He had a light sleigh with twoseats and was sitting in the front. seat. And two young ladies, one be- ing his sister and the other my sis- ter, were sitting in the back seat which was not attached to the sleigh. As he was gliding along at the south side of the Mill Dam bridge just, at Kruse's corner, he turned' too short and the ladies flew overboard. 1 -Is drove on, at full speed anis never missed them till he arrived home. His mother carie out toget the goods she had ordered, and said, "Where are the girls, Mike," He looked around and said, "I. don't see them, Mother. I nest have lost them" Mother said, !'Dear oh, dear, gone—seat and ail. You great big dunce, go and find thein." He went back the same road he came looking on both sides and in the fields. At 'last'he reached the corner where he dumped thein, and found them sitting in their seat, look- ing on all sides to see if there was any chance ifor thein to get to their destination: The poor unfortunate fellow (trot more iinfont'unate than, the poor ladies) turned around and headed for home, and got loaded up again. But the ladies,. did not sit in the seat. They satin the box and tied themselves to the bottom and arrived home` safely, 'not being any the worse after their "experience. But they carne to the conclusion .they would much rather walk in the fu- time than :ride with Mike. kindly .asst any reader of the above item that is doubtful of its certainty to please write for an ex- planation to me, "Her Sister, In Can- ada."

Mr. Cho, a student of Toronto Uni- versity, gave a demonstration of alit- mfnum cooking utensils at Mr. Her- bert Fowler's one evening last week.

I'did not„lcnow at the time of previous pairs he had or had been seeking and. I was sorry fax Mr. McMillan at the time for the loss of his wife, and was glad to give him one.

I was not incensed :blit expressed regret and sorrow for him on the loss of his wife, 1n a t o S truly, 1 , y `ur y, T. L. CHURCH. Mr. Boys' Letter. The 'following letter from Mr. W. A, Boys, Chief Whip of the, Conserv- ative party, was .published on the edi- torial page of The Toronto Globe on blonday:. . The editorial appearing in your issue of July 14. is as 'baseless as the former. You snake reference to Mr. Church's pair with Mr. MacMillan. I' have no desire, in any way, to de- tract ifrom Mr. Church's ' well-known reputation for kindness and generos- ity, but the pair he made with. Mr, MacMillan so aptly illustrates the manner in which pairs are arranged. 1 will explain: Yr. Church desired to attend his sister's funeral, which was to take place. on the following Mon- day, and lie asked me for a pair. 1 told him I presumed Mr. MacMillan would' be glad to remain at home owing 'to his wife's death and stig- gested he should request him to complete a pair for the Monday. 1 stipulated the pair would have to be in writing owing to Mr. MacMillan's previous conduct. Mr. Church re- ceived forms from my office for that. purpose. and later in the day brought same to me, duty signed and the pair was recorded. The pair met the mutual convenience of both members. It ; vas arranged at my suggestion and for the reason given. You quote Mr. MacMillan's denial of my statement as to the former pairs lie broke. It is not a question between me and Mr. MacMillan but between the latter and Messrs. Hock - en and Jones, both of whom spoke in the House on June 30, and definitely stated Mr. MacMillan had broken pair; made with them, For their re- marks, which Mr. 'MacMillan did not contradict in the House, see Hansard of June 30, Mr. MacMillan, in the article you quote, thanks Mr, Church 'tor the pair which enabled him "to return. home to be present at my wife's funeral." This clearly implies he would not 'otherwise have been at the funeral, Is anything further ne- ISSUE No. 2 uwatch oPdistinctioz -scientificalk perfect 91 The Buren n particulady pleas- ing to a man.
