WINGHAM CHAUTAUQUA
Chautauqua this year has many ad-
ded features. Along with several not-
ed Canadian Lectures, we have the
new feature of Junior town.
Miss Van Dyke will arrive Sat-
urday and begin the organization of
Junior Town of which she will have
charge during the entire week. Miss.
Van Dyke is a very talented young
lady in the Work of training children,
and has a very pleasing personality.
Mr. Quinn feels confident the child-
ren will be delighted to work with
Miss Van Dyke in making Junior
Town a success in 'Wingham as it
has been made in other towns visited
this season. All the children are urg-
ed 'to attend the Junior Town pro-
grams each morning at 9.3o o'clock.
Among the first things to be done
in Junior Town will be the election
of a mayor, council, clerks and other
city officials, These offices are to be
filled ..y local children who will be
elected by a vote of the "citizens" of
Junior Town. After the officers are
elected they will have charge of the
administration and look after the af-
fairs of the .Junior Town just as of-
ficers in a real city would do.
The Herrick Male Quartette, with
a program of songs, impersonations
and sketches, will open this year's
Redpath Chautauqua in Wingham
Saturday afternoon at 3 o'clock. The
Herricks will also appear on the Sat-
urday night program as a part of the
second program of the season begin-
ning at Selo p. as. Following their
short concert, Edward Tomlinson,.
noted Pan-American observer, will
lecture.
The Herrick programs promise to
be most delightful. The quartette is
headed by "Bob" Herrick, himself of
no small fame in the world of comedy
singing and entertaining,
ATTENTION BOYS AND GIRLS

munity selling 12 Season Tickets will
be given one Complimentary ticket to

ors, who enjoyed the gay scene. ' To-

ment recently installed in the Park,
the Club will have approximately $175
profit on the evening's sport.

Examination results that the pupils of

ful in passing practically one hundred
per cent. strong with an additional
credit of . seventy per cent. taking

cord and reflects personally upon

1
his efforts in preparation and upon

tions are in order to Prin. Posliff and

SOME GOOD HURDLING
London Advertiser commenting on
the military field day at Carling's
Heights refers to a Wingham boy,
Sergeant Wm. Taylor as follows:—
"A highlight of the fine exhibition
of athletic skill was the performance
of Sergeant Taylor of the I.luron Re-
giment, tall, blonde trooper, who curl-
ed over the high -jump bar at 5 feet,
9 inches. Through all the high -jump
series the popular sergeant carried
his regiment's colors with honor only
grounding the slate once. His per-
sonal record is 5 feet, so inches, but
the extreme heat, -coupled with the
poor ground conditions, lowered' his
mark, although the soldier, after his
victory, ceased to jump because of the.
heat, and also the fact that he had
further entries.
His st}le in the imo yards low hur-
dles left little to be desired. . With
free and easy stride lie lead his' two
heats, also leading the final field un-
til the last hurdle, when his stride
was broken by rough ground, He
crashed the hurdle, causing a later
competitor in the field to fall also,
and Taylor received a somewhat ser-
ious injury to his leg, necessitating
immediate removal to the camp hos-
pital."
Corp. G. Allan got 3rd in the high
jump.
