Of Mr William Taylor's large • and unbroken family, all have en- • entered the matrimonial state but one, we venture the assertion that many *aeons will not pass ere that one too, will "go and do likewise."

Wilmot and Downs, took place on Wednesday evening. The run was to Kippen and back, it distance of 20 miles—Yellowless being pitted against the other four. The race was the outcome of some banter among the boys, the prize to the winner simply being the honor and glory of the event. An immense crowd watched the start and patiently waited until the return. of the contestants. Dr. Shaw was ap- pointed referee, and Yelrowlees was the victor, the following being- the official time:— Hr M Sec. . N. Y ellowlees111.10 Ed. Kitt 1 19.32 Ft. Downs 1 20.10 G. Emerson 1 20.11 N. Wilmot 1 95.18 The winner made fast time, when all blui circumstances are considered, as did even those who came in behind him; ti kg Prst broke his saddleand had to trade with Wilmot,whose wheel broke down entirely; then each rider had to foot it over two bridges that were under re- pair; then each of the other riders had an accident of some kind that delayed them, and it being after dark -none of them were able to ride as quickly as they could have done in daylight. Al- together., it was a good road race, and the victor pay be well pleased at the *hue made. ORMAN CONCERT. --011 Friday even. ing a concert was given under the aus- pices of the Presbyterian choir, in aid of the new organ, The evening being beautiful the hall Was literally packed, and the stage was beautifully and ar- tistically decorated. The first piece on the program was a chours by the choir and a number of others, next was a solo by Master R. Beattie, which was extremely well tendered; the club swinging by Messrs Innes and Emerton was4scientifical1y performed to the admiration of all. The recita- tion by Miss C. Mountcaspe was com- posed bfIt'di—lielf-afid-ivas very good. Quartette by Miss Walker and Messrs Kay, Harland and Foster was, as usu- al, all that could be desired; the three male solos that were - given.by Messrs Sibley, Sparling and Foster were dif- ficult pieces and well sung. An in- strumental quartette on three guitars and a banjo, -by Messrs Wheeler, Em- erton, Cole and Kerr, was so enchant- ing that it made a number of the fair sex in the hall wish they had room to trip the light fantastic to such perfect time and beautiful music. Miss Aggie Jackson sang a solo, with her -sweet and well 'Named voice, accompanied by Miss 'Donagh. of Goderich, on a violin, and her sister Maggie on the piano, which merited an enthusiastic encore. Miss Sibley, who is one of Ontario's best elocutionists, kept the house hi roaring laugh, with her recitations, which were g en with the greatest, ease and eloq ence. The quartette by Messrs Sipley, Hollo- way, Mrs Marcey and Sib- ley was ver much a ss Sadie Sib- eciated. Mr Brewer, in his usual hilmorous man- ner, gave a reading, which kept the audience laughing throughout. The fancy drill, under the leadership of Mr Jos. Chidley, jr.,vvith twelve boys with decidedly tanned faces, a stove -pipe hat and part of a band -box around their neck to serve the purpose of a collar, was good, and their songs were exceedingly amusing. Misses Jackson, Fair and Gibbins were accompanists. Mr T. Jackson, Ir., deserves a great deal of credit for the work and trouble he went to in getting up this concert. The proceeds amounted to about $115. NOTES.—There was a slight frost on Thursday evening of last week. Mr Richard Ransford and wife are away taking a trip up the lakes.
