PUBLIC 'SCHOOL BOARD IMPROVING PROPERTY , • \IAt the last meeting of Wingham Public School Board, the Property Committie was instructed to have the hall painted or kalsomined, the differ- ence in the price being a determining factor which will be used.

A HEAVY DOWNPOUR Thursday evening what promised a gentle shower about seven o'clock, developed into one of the heaviest rain storms ever seen here. For about four hours the flood -gates of heaven seemed opened, the rain coming down heavily and fast, and turned the streets into small rivulets. 'While no damage resulted in town, haying op- erations were held up a couple of days. There is a very heavy zrop this year, quite a bit of .which was cut at the time, and fears were ex- pressed that this might be injured somewhat.

Elliott, Bluevale Road, had a real exciting hour on Thursday last, when a swarm of bees landed on a load of hay standing in -the lane. They hung in a great cluster on the bot- tom of the rack, and were in undis- puted possession of the whole out- fit. But haying operations ould not be held up in such favorable weather, so a neighbor who understood the ways of these busy little w wkers, came up and gathered them into a box. Even at that sufficient stragg- lers remained about the load to give Mr. Elliott and his men some con- cern about removing the load.

Opening on Saturday afternoon, the Herrick Male Quartette gave a most pleasing program of their selections appealing to the audience for its sim- plicity, the harmonious blending of their voices, and the natural infectious high spirits of typical modern young men, who know what humor and. art is. In the evening Edward Tomlinson spoke for over an hour on "Uncle' Ten Flags," dealing extensively with South America, where he spent 25 years, and saw it front one end to the other. }Ile gave a most deRghtful de- scription of the country, its richness, natural beauty, immense forests, de- lightful cities with every modern con- venience, contrasting with ths primi- tive life and customs of the people in the undeveloped sections. The Herrick Male Quartette also contributed to the programme ie a series of choruses and solos. Monday afteraoon the Grosjean Novelty Company presented a Unique programme of classie and sentiftental selections an the rnatimba-xYloPhone, banjo, ptato and saxophone. Floss Grosjean gave a truly wonderful piece of' ventriloquism that appealed 1414.4.1.(0.4 strongly to the junior section of the audience, and a reading in which she impersonated a wash woman at work. Dreary as the job may be. She bad a multiplicity of interests, in ordering her children about, observing new neighbors moving in, criticising her next door neighbor for getting out the "wash') earlier. There was a nat- uralness about the whole skit that rocked the audience with laughter. At night the Great Laurant com- pletely mystified his audience by acts of magic. He caused beautiful flow- ers to appear from nowhere, endless yards of gorgeous colored silks to unravel from unexpected places, while doves, rabbits and a rooster popped up at most unexpected times. One of the most mystifying features iA the chair act, when he has a number of apparently solid rings about 5 inches in diameter, all separate. By some uncanny process he anagitally joins them into a cha.ir, front which he mak- es several articles, and then before the eyes of the audience the rings tumble separately across the stage floor. On Tuesday afternoon, Major 5. j, Hill spoke for an hour on Africa, where he spent the best part of his life, Going out from Canada, he got a post on the Cape Cairo railvvay, as right-of-way engineer, his duties being to 'bargain with the native chiefs for a right-of-Vay. A More detailed repot of Major Hills address wilf be given next week.
