The annual picnic of the Huron
Old. Boys' Association of Toronto, as
held in Exhibition Park on Saturday
last, and, notwithstanding the, threat-
ening condition of the weather, was a
huge success.
The prizes were both valuable and
useful, the games were all exciting
and interesting, and the refreshments
were of the highest order, that could
not but satisfy the most fastidious.
The Lipton Tea Race, which was.
the leading feature of the day, was
well advertised, and no doubt helped
to swell the crowd. One hundred
packages of tea were placed in line
three feet apart, and all ladles were
required to run ten yards, pick up the
package of tea, and get back to the
.starting line, and there was some
scramble, " , , : •- t "- t.; ,
The broom football race was lively
while it Lasted, each of the contest-
ants being presented with a broom,
and the winning side with a bottle of
vinegar each in addition.
The tug of war between north and
south Huron, captained by Geo. Fer-
guson and Arthur Forbes respectively,
was won by north Huron.
The ladies baseball snatch between
north Huron and South Huron, capt-
ained by Miss Lily Paterson and Miss
M. L. Flynn respectively, was won by
North Huron.l
The men's baseball match between
North Huron and South Huron, capt-
ained by B. H. McCreath and, A. E.

South Huron.

hotly contested, there being four
prizes awarded in'each race.

raised on the farm, and therefore has
the staying powers,
Mrs. Frankton, formerly of Wing -
ham, but now of Woodbridge, came

GEORGE SPOTTON 1.$ INQUISI-
TIVE.
In the house of Commons on June
Sth, on considering supply to immi-
gration and colonization, George
Spotton M. P. for North Huron in-
terrogated Hon. Robert Forke as
follows:—
Mr. Chairman, I have a question to
ask the minister (Mr, Forke) which
is directly connected with• this vote.
In August last a young man in my
constituency was given an lappoint-
ntent under the department of im-
migration; I think it had to do with
the inspection of soldiers' farms. He,
comes from true blue Liberal stock
and, so far as I know, will continue 1
in the political faith of his people. 1
The appointment was made one month
before the by-election in North Huron
and the young man was promptly '
fired within a month or so afterwards.
He left a good position to enter the
department. He was appointed, I be-
lieve, on the recommendation of Hon.
Duncan Marshall. I have spoken to
Mr. Marshall and to the Minister of
Immigration, but have been unable to
get any satisfaction. 1 have also tried
to get another minister, who is re-
lated to the fancily of the young man,
to intercede, but without avail. I have
been told that this young man was
not competent. 1 do not believe it, for
no member of that family would und-
ertake to do any work which he was.
not competent to discharge, I was
show.; sortie expense account's of his
which were ;not supposed to be well
mtade_up, but the only fault 'I eoiild
find was that his expenses were toes
low. 1 asn confident that if the young.
man hadbeen taken in hand `by an
officer of the •department and given a
white man's chance he would have'
made good from the training he has
had is a Member Of an old pioneer-
family.. He thought he had been en-
gttgcd permanently; if the department
engaged hire for a short period before
and after the by-election he certainly,
did not think so, I plead with the
minister in the future not to allow his
department to be thus used during
elections. On behalf of one. of my
constituents—it is nothing to ire POI"I
