Trip to oven sound.
Penoillinga on the Grand Orange
Lodge Meeting.
Incidents Outside the Lodge and
the Return to Clinton. tp
A trip away from home bas for the
ordinary individual, as a, rule, many
attractions and pleasures. It was
the pleasure of the writer to visit
Owen Sound last week as a repre-
aentative to the R. W. Grand Orange
Lodge of Ontario Weat. The time of
a delegate at these..sneetings is well
taken up—day, and night. The
evening train on the 7th inst. was
boarded at Clinton for Wingham,
and 5 o'clock Tuesday morning I was
speeding from the latter place over
the C, P. R. via Orangeville to the
Liverpool of Canada. Bro. Davison,
C.:M. of West Bruce, Bro. McManus,
D. M. of Turuberry, and several other
representatives helped to make up
an interesting and jolly delegation.
We had an hour or so at Orangeville
and breakfasted there. Here we
mat Major Whits, -of-Arthur-, and
others. Tho Major is an active
militiaman, was at the St. Thomas
camp last year, and although a gen.
tleman of considerable travelling
experience missed his connection on
the return journey. This came
about by the Major transferring him,
self to the wrong train at Orangeville.
The Huron "boys" took charge of the
gallant soldier on the following day
and he was kindly and considerately
cared for. County Master Mooney,
Bros. Dane and Hoatb, North Huron,
were added to the party after leav-
ing Wingham. All along the line to
Owen Sound the delegation increas-
ed in number until seating room was
declared a luxury of the past. Owen
Sound was reached on Tuesday short-
ly after dinner hour and the immense
gathering was marshaled to the vari.
ous hotels in town, probably the
most courteously managed and best
equiped hostelry of any town in
Canada. We were billeted at the
Comely House,. while others of the
400 delegates were distributed at the
Patterson, Seldon, Coulaon, Queen's,
Albion, Grand Central, Royal, Paci-
fic, American, and Ross riouses.
The Grand Lodge was in session
early In the afternoon and South
Huron's representative honored by
the Grand Master naming him as
one of the committee to strike the
standing committees, and this com•
mittee placed on him the onerous
duties of chairman of the committee
on petitions and appeals.
There was a vast amount of ims
portant business transacted from
this time to the close. The Order
throughout Ontario West is in a
flourishing condition in every respect
—financially, numerically and other-
wise. All masters, officers and mem-
bers throughout the jurisdiction will
hereafter be empowered to act as
agents for the insurance department
and a special agent and a Grand Or-
ganizer still continue their work.

is the noted, slways.on-band-never-
to-be. forgotten•all-wool.and-six.feet-
wide.by-long-measure, the grand D.
of C., Bro. Charles Palling.
On Tuesday evening Bro. Birming-
ham entertained the delegates at the
Patterson House as he knows best
how.
Wednesday was a hard and long
days work.. In the evening a special
sermon was preached in the spacious
and splendid Methodist church, of
which Rev. Mr. Turk, formerly of
Goderich, is the pastor. Bro. Rev.
Walsh was the preacher on the oc-
casion, assisted by Grand Organizer
Bro. Rev. Perry and Mr. Turk. The
sertn-In was .ane of the gest ever
heard and the church was filled to
overflow. The offering was liberal
and will he devoted to the fund for a
new hospital, which is being erectc,d
in Owen S.aund.
The proceedings of the Grand
Lodge were practically concluded on
Wednesday night, but many of tbe
brethren were not permitted to,olose
their eyes in peaceful slumber. Each
House had their "selected boys" with
slight variations from either one or
the other. The Toronto delegates
were pretty much at the Seldon, and
enjoyed themselves —as the dele-
gates in various other quarters did
also—in innocent amusement. But
probably the Seldon had the lion's
shire in this respect. Dr. Buchanan,
of Simcoe county, has a sad tale of
woe to relate. The kindness and
extreme good will and feeling of the
Torontos I am sure the doctor will
never forget. He was conducted to
the Selatlon by a special committee,
and advanced to a mysterious and
sublime degree in b"brown" style.
You who have read of Peck's bad boy
initiating his father with the stern
and impressive realities of a genuine
live goat in the rear, can sincerely
imagine how the thing was done.
The doctor, on arriving at the Come-
ly, bore. traces of an °encounter with
the beasts of Ephesus or some other
place—foot sore and weary, penni-
less and friendless. He very fortun-
ately had a return ticket and was
permitted to boerd the train with
the boys on the homeward journey.'
.At the Comely'h9u0e an address of
gratification and of their kind treat.
merit war Presented to the landlord
by the sixty or more guests. The
waiters and able assistants were also
presented with a purse of money to
purchase Orange badges as memen-
tos of the happy ocoasiou. Mr.
Comely in return thanked the breth-
ren and invited all to partake of an
oyster supper at his expense, and
speechmaking, song, sentiment and
toaeting allowed the hours to steal
away until train time, about 5 a. in.,
all hoping to meet at Orangeville,
the, plane of meeting next year.
Chatham, Clinton, St. Mary's and
several other places were also named,
but lost on a division. Clover Hill
was strongly advocated at a caucus
of a good number, but was taken up
by the friends of that thriving town
too late to carry it at this Grand
Lodge ,meeting. The G. D. C. will
support this place of note lit some
future meeting, promising in the
near future to acquaint himself with
the government statistics as to the
manufacturing and other progressive
industries and many- inhabitants of
that place. But all things must
come to an end, and the Grand.
Lodge session of 1692 is now number-
ed among the past, probably one of
the moat important, successful and
happy yet recorded. I became ac-
quainted with many brethren and
met many familiar faces from all
parts of Western Ontario :—Major
Bennett, W. W. Fitzgerald, Rural
Dean Cooper, Rev. ° Leech, Bros.
Hughes, Lockhart, Hovey, Stewart,
Brodie, McCann, Powers, Irwin, Gra.
ham, Bell, Lee, Douglas, Floody,
Sager, Young, Winters, Burnett,

Murphy, Davis, Miller, Mcpadden,
Medcalf, Mahood, Bailey, Virtue, Mc-
Caffrey, R. R. Clark, and a host of
others besides those previously men-
tioned. ' On the return, we break-
fasted at Orangeville. At Mount
Forest I stopped off to ascertain the
whereabouts of an uncle, Wm. Cook,
who I bad not seen or heard from
for twenty odd years. 1 met Mr.
William Woods, who is •an Orange.
man, at the Coyne House and
he kindly gave me -a eleven mile
ride to the farm of the lost. Mr.
Cook had just bought the farm and
was preparing to move onto the
place,' but in the meantime was
"hatching it." He did hot know the
visitor, but was always willing to
assist or gife shelter to a weary
traveller ; I was welcome to appease
nay appetite with such as he had,
and doubly so•when he was informed
of bur close relationship. I had not
seen my mother's brother for twenty
odd years, and the meeting was in-
deed a pleasant one. After tea—and
Mr. Cook is a natural nook—we
drove a mile or two further on to his
son in-laws, Mr. Andrew H. Cooper.
On this road a day or two previous
three black bears had been shot.
The forest monsters were wintering
in a hollow log just a stone throw
from the gravel road we were travel-
ling on. A rabbit hunter's dog hap-
pened to approach the hollow log
and was attacked by the bears. 'The
hunter with a muzzle loading gun
succeeded in ,killing the three bears

shotsn s d the hides 'oyaJ40,

in that section considerable hunting,
such as rabbits, deer, bear, partridge,
and speckled trout fishing. Mr.
Cooper was away at Orange lodge,
and I renewed my acquaintance with
Mrs. Cooper, the lady who was an
infant when laat we met. We all
chatted about the past, present and
future until a late hour, and I think
before I retired my eyes were closed
— or nearly so—in slumber. Friday
morning the worst snow storm or
blizzard of the season was raging.
There was 18 or 19 miles between
me and the rest of Mr. Cook's family,
but it did not require any pressing
to get Mr. Cooper to face the storm
with a double team and sleigh. We
three were soon on the road. The
day was as cold a one as the 23rd of
February in West Huron. But our
courage did not fail us and we sr.
rived at our destination in very good
form. Here we met our relatives,
although about a quarter of a century
bad made many changes since last
we met Mrs. Cook is the mother of
twelve of a family, eleven living—
two married, Mrs. Cooper and Mrs.
(Rev.) McQueen. She is hale and
hearty and holds her years exceed-
ingly well. A couple of hours, and
we were on our way—seven miles—
to Mt. Forest, thence to Clinton via
Wingham. At 8 o'clock Saturday
morning I was with my family at
home. The trip to Owen Sound was
a pleasant, enjoyable and profitable
one --one that must be the means of
doingithe Orange Order good. And
one that will never be forgotten by the
delegates who were there—particul•
ary at the Comely House The breth-
ren of North Grey are to be highly
congratulated on their every ar-
rangement and kind, hospitality.
Clinton bas been on the boards for a
Grand Lodge meeting for several
years, and it is hoped that the "hub"
of Huron County will be honored ere
many years roll by.

There is considerable talk about
employers intimidating and coerc-
ing their employers at the recent
election. If the shouters will make
enquires among the fishermen and
sailors of Goderich and be honest
about it, they will find ample ma-
terial to substantiate their state-
ments. Only for this kind of work
Mr, Patterson would have had a
much larger majority in this town.
Those who are shouting a stuffed
voters list, know that so far as West
Huron is concerned the Conserva-
tives would gain by using the local
one. To make a comparison Goder-
ich township must bo passed over,
on account of its division by Mr.
Mowat, but the towns of Clinton
and Goderich, and the townships of
Ashfield, Colborne and the Wawa -
noshes should be a fair test. At
the last local election Mr. Garrow
had a majority of 188 over Mr.
Roberta in these municipalities,
Whereas in the recent contest with
the use of the iniquitous Dominion
lists, Mr. Cameron naa 214 ahead
of Mr. Patterson, a gain of 25.
Will the Grits who are shouting so
loudly explain whether Mr. Cam-
eron's increase over Mr. Garrow is
due to a fairer list or bribery, it
must be one or the other.
On Monday morning at 7 a. in.
passed away Jas. Gordon, one of
the kindliest men ever known in
the circular town. The deceased
had been suffering some time with
heart trouble, but recently it had
become so serious as to cause hie
resignation as street Inspector. The
interment will likely take place to-
morrow, the time depending on the
arrival of relatives from the West.
13y the death of Jas. Gordon the
town loses an upright citizen, and
the North street church a member
who reflected the light of Method-
ism throughout life's journey.
