The morning broke dark and gloomy and about seven on „clock a quiet but drenching rain set In which continued throughout the forenoon. It was a grand ramn. for the . country but paused sore disap- pointment to many children and young people generally. The piinci- pal event was the Sabbatk schools excursion to Godeiien. The rain pre- vented many from taking this in who, 6therwise, would have gene. But de- spite this drawback a good many braved the elements and took the risk of having hats and dresses spoiled. The train left at the advertieed time and about 400 went on it, but there would have been twice that number had the morning been fine. On arriv- ing in Goderich the moisture was still falling but in -about an • hour the clouds cleared and the rain stopped and -the afternoon wag quite pleas- ant so that an enjoyable day was spent after all. The train returned about nine 'o'clock and those. who went were well pleased with their day's outing.
