Walkerville, near Windsor, were notified
that the works would be closed down for an
indefinite time. There are contradictory
rumors as to the cause of the suspension,
but the reason seems to be that the com-
pany's business has thriven to such an ex-
tent that new capital is required to enlarge
the worke„This increase cannot be obtain-
ed from We present stockholders. The
conipany was organized by the late Hiram
Walker and Wm. Milner, of Chatham, and
capitalized at $133,000. Mr. Walker be-
queathed to Harbor Hospital and to the
Children's Free 'Hospital of Detroit, -stock
to the amount of $125,000. The charters
of both these institutions forbid their engag-
ing in any commercial enterprise-. it is
said that oapitaliste are ready to take over
the stooks held by the hospitals, and make
the necessary increase in the plants in
Walkerville, and that this action will soon
be taken.
The Bayfield Show.
The hayfield people had' a delightful day
for their show, the only complaint being
that it was too warm. In pointed attend.
mem the ;show was a great succe1e, the gate
reedpts hieing considerably larger than for
many years. The Weide show Was except.
iono,lly good, the mete, fruit and grain be.
ing very fine. In horses, there was a light
show '• cattle and sheep were fairly good,
but plgs were poorly represented. The fol.
lowing is a hot of the succeesful coin.
