WINGHAM SPRING HORSE, SHOW AND
SEED FAIR PROVES A BIG SUCCESS
Despite the most unfavorable wea-
ther imaginable, a little snow falling
after a day's heavy rain and leaving
the roads in a desperate condition, the
Spring Fair on Wednesday of last
week may be termed with consider-
able confidence, a decided, success.
The event brought a large number of
interested people to town, who ex-
pressed themselves as thoroughly sat-
isfied withthe affair, and the manner
in whictt it was conducted:
Judging the horses and cattle took
place on Josephine' street, at the in-
tersection of John street, while the
right-of-way was given the owners of
fast steppers, and the more stately
draft horses to parade. In the latter
class particularly, is a decides) answer
to the query, "Will the motor sup-
plant the horse?" Six or seven teams
of a splendid type of heavy horses,
paraded before the judges who found
some difficulty in selecting winners.
To secure such a showing of horses
alone, repaid all the trouble of hold-
ing the show. Seed grain was judged
in G. T. Robertson's garage.
With such a successful beginning,
the show ,promises a bigger and bet-
ter affair next season.

CLERKS ARE THE
LOCAL CHAMPIONS
The wind-up of the local hockey
schedule finished almost with as many
thrills as might be thrown into a sen-
ior series game. After battling their
Way through the fixtures, the Clerks,
Gunn -Son -Ola and Arena were left to
fight it out for the championship, On
Friday night night the Gunn -Son -Ola

where the Clerks applied a white kal-
somine finish to the Gunn-Son-Olas
of 2-0 quality, It was a hectic game,.
some hockey, more body checking and
a lot of stick work that some players
are sure of. But it was .a glorious
victory and the Clerksare top -rung
puck -chasers for the year, and entit-
led to hold the trophy 'till next sea-

THE STORY OF TWO LIVES MAKES A
STRONG PLEA FOR TOTAL ABSTIN
Over seven hutidrad people thor-
oughly enjoyed the "Story of Two
Lives", presefited by the senior and.
junior choirs in the United Church
on Sunday evening. Mrs. W. Van.
Wyck read the story in a most pleas-
ing manner, her clear voice and pro-,
nounciation giving emphasis to the
story, that received an additional em-
phasis by the selections by the choir.
These .came at stated periods in the
story and were of a sentiment to har-
monize with the tale. Here is the
story .briefly. Clement St. Clayne
was a son of a wealthy manufacturer,
a 'moderate drinker, .and universally
respected as an upright citizen. He
gave a great party in honor of . the
birth of his son, at which wine flow-
ed freely. Clement passed his school
days as most boysdo,''a few serapes,
bat nothing serious, and afterwards
was graduated from Oxford, His con-
duct now began to give alarm to the
proud father, with whom he had sev-
eral scenes,and when the father sug-
gested he
uggested'he settle down and take an in-
terest in the business, the boy pro-
posed selling but and both retiring to
a quiet country estate.:. The father
was not so constituted, refused, with
the result that the boy left in a tem-
per because he had, to settle down.
His marriage shortly after to a music
hall girl; out the home ties complete
ly and from this his path turned a
steeper incline down the wrong road.
The inevitable end came when he died
on the street, in a condition that
brought sorrow to the fair name he ceived.

The other, John Truscott, the same
age as St. Clayne, was the ,son of a
humble worker ;in a factory, but grew
up under the prayer and guidanceof
godly parents. School days to him
were a rare privilege, of which he
took •every advantage, and when a-
bout 12 years of age went to work.
Continuing his studies, an opportunity
came to attend a technical school
from which he passed equipped to
accomplish much, His ability soon
came to the attention of Mr. St,
Clayne, who promoted~ him rapidly,so
that he became superintendent of the
factory, and in addition a warm per-
sonal feeling existed between the two,
because of the heart yearn-
ing perhaps
Y'
ing for his own son gbne wrong.
When young St. Clayne's death oc-
cured. Truscott was sent to London
to look after the widow and her two
children, who found refuge in a home.
provided by Mr St, Clayne. " Then.
comes the climax of the story. The
young children won the heart 'ofthe
grandfather, who learning of the sor-
did story of their lives while their
father lived, as the result of strong
drink, decided to be a teetotaler the
rest of his days, an example his
grandchildren followed also.

ship records, and Art Flack, 220 yd.
indoor champion and champion barrel
juniper of America gave demonstra-
tions at Ripley Kincardine and Wing-
hain, and at each place were well re-
ceived and heartily applauded. Ripley
people showed their appreciation, not
only, in numbers who attender]„ but al-
so as a mark of appreciation the wives
of the directors of the Arena present-
ed Lela with a beautiful baguet of
Tulips after she had equalled her •440
yard world record, which"is 47 sec-
onds;
At Kincardine those who braved the
inclement weather were well repaid.
Even if the ice was soft both skaters
did' as they advertisedand lived up to,
their reputations.
Coming to Wingham and, giving the
audience a real treat MrFlack show-
ed class in jumping over eight bar-
rel. with a good margin to spare,
while Lela bettered her record at ,4.40
yds. by: one and one fifth seconds, Had
her health permitted she would have
done better, This young woman is
not twenty years old, yet she is prov-
ing to the world that skating requires
boundless energy and alertness. Care-

Mr, W. Logan Craig,
Wingham, Ont.
Dear Logan:
I told.: you 1 would drop you a line
beore I. returned, I see by the papers;
as 'Torn McLean 'says, "You have 'had
a very bad storm". It is much differ-
ent here 8o and 85 every day;' and ev-
ery day the sun shines. It is wonder-
ful. The grape fruit and: orange trees
are out in bloom now, and yoti car
see the fruit and blossom on the tree
at the sante time,. We have 5 grape-
fruit trees on our place, and the fra-
grancy in
ra-grancy.in the early morning and late
night is wonderful.
The strawberries are at their best
now, in fact all the garden vegetables:
They are going in for truck gardening
more here now since the booth is over,
You can get green vegetable hers; all
winter.
They have more tourists here this
winter than they have ever had. They
seem to be more people 'corning to
the west coast now than before. They
tell me that there is no place in the
state that entertains the tourist as St.
Petersbury, and I believe it, Why no
later than last night one of the under-
takers entertained the Canadian So-
ciety right in his chapel, and put on a
real vaudeville that you would pay $x
to see any time. And they tell ine he
does this every year.
I was talking to Jack Ferguson last
week, and he tells nae they have them
here all the way from a humming bird
to a wild turkey. John is looking
fine. We can see all the big league
ball teams here.
We just finished the Irish trebles
tournament last Saturday, they hold..
one here every year, the different
states play. That is each state can
have as many, rinks as they like, only
they have all got to be from the same
state, r that is the rinks, and the same
with Canada. I am enclosing` you a
clipping from one of the local papers;
and you will see that we are still
keeping Wingham on the map. Next
week we play off for the Godman
Medal, that is, all those who got in
the preferred class, What I mean by.
this is that each member has got to,
win three straight games before he
can enter this class. They have only
seven in this class as yet, 6 Canadians
and one American, I happened to be
one of the Canadians. They have a
membership of 247 and you woti.ld
think that there would be more get in
this preferred class, but there are lots
of them that fall on the third game.
They expect to make the draw for the
final of this event next Monday, and
possibly by that time the roads around
Wingham will be clean of the snow,
so that I may return.
We are all well here, hoping this
will find yont the same, I remain,
Yours sincerely,
A. M. Crawford.
brought her boy here and takes great
pride in his skating, and well she may,
as Orel is a real speed artist and
should show the world a world cham-
pion.
Other events were staged in the dif-
ferent towns mentioned six races in
each place for which Mr. W. H.
Dunn of Toronto, the largest speed
skate manufacturer in America, gave
eighteen pairs of speed skates to the
winners. This is done through the
Old Orchard Athletic Club to which
Mr, Dunn contributes largely, and no
other skate is used by that club. No
doubt when the winners cornmenee
using their new speed skates and
showing speed it will induce others to
enter the game,
Mr, T. J. McLean, who is a mem-
ber •of Old Orchard Club, and who
was instrumental in putting on the
cli[ferent e> hibitions wishes to thank
all those, who attended for their pat-
ronage, and trusts that it will be the
means of making one or more cham-
pions in Wiaaghan,
Harry Browne won the open event,
and showed good speed in a trial
against Art. Flack. Ronald Rae Kaci

tween his nearest opponent in his race.
