Beck, president of the ass'iciation, was received at the Commercial hotel, by a large, number of the Conservatives of the town and the townships.

OUR GUESTS. • — "How happy they, Who from the care and tumult of their lives, Steal to look down where naught but ocean strives."

"Here we are in balmy Bayfield, that we have read and heard of so much; well, well see what it's like to -morrow;" so said a party of tourists, on alighting from the stage the other evening;. it is need- less to say that they were greatly pleased in the morning. The visitors at the River hotel indulged in a hop, on Tuesday evening, which was en- joyed by all present. (,7j�� a d guio re TION W A r TED.— BayfiM'eld has now reached such a stage in her wonderful progress to fame as a summer resort, that practical business inen of enterprise and means are im- peratively demanded, if she is to retain the coveted position which she now occupies. Nature has very bountifully blessed her with scenery unsurpassed on the continent. Her breezes make the most sultry days of summer plea- sant and enjoyable, and her high banks raise her above the diseases which in- fest less favorably situated watering places. But notwithstanding all these natural advantages and attractions,we must have the artificial accommoda- tions which the entertainment of visit- ors makes necessary. Tbla-seascon-the number_ ,of__applications._ha.ve-•€ar ex- ceeded the ace, our village affords. Large numbers from Detroit, Bay City, Toronto, London and . local towns had to be refused. When facts like these are considered, the important question, " What are we going to do with this increasing crowd of visitors ?" rises before us for immediate consideration. Are we go- ing to continue turning them away from cur village, and with them the money which these wealthy citizens leave in our midst? Are we not going to help ourselves when the chance oc- curs? The majority who come here are in ecstasies over • our pretty wa- -tering-plaee,•- and--are-willing-to-• pay - reasonably for their pleasure. There is money in the hotel and cottage busi- ne"s, for some one, and if our own peo- ple do not realize the situation, out- siders will. Down at Grand Bend a man has erected a row of cottages on the beach, and draws a comfortable rental therefrom, though we fail to see what attraction there is in a low, bar- ren plain of trackless sand. Our high, grassy banks, in many places sloping invitingly to a pebbly beach, furnish sites for summer cottages, which have no rival in Western Ontario. Our ho- tel accommodation has to be increased. Either the present ones must be en- larged, or new ones erected, or both. A considerable number, this year,were given rooms ingg'r�ivate houses, and boarded at the hol?els, but this does not always seem prddfftable or advisable. A third way has been for visitors to both lodge and board at private houses, This is an undertaking which our peo- ple did not enter upon previous to this season, but we think it will prove pro- fitable to them and satisfactory to the guests. There are many in the village, with little or no inconvenience to themselves, could take a few visitors for the summer months, and be better financially for their trouble. We must realize that just as, directly or indi- rectly, the visitors are at present a help to the village, that with increased ac- 'commodation, and consequent increas- ed numbers, we would reap a propor- tionately increased advantage. But we keep turning away these people who now want , spurting•-the-opp• portunities-which bid fair,-i€embracet1i to -make our village a famous watering. place, we will un- doubtedly_have_a.decreasing nnrnber of guests, and see our folly when it is too late. Holmesville. • WHAT IS NEEDED.—NOW the dark, wet evenings are coming on, we think ,a lamp post with a light would be found very convenient. One of our business men is talking of putting up a lamp. We hope he will not fail to do so before the snow comes. RATHER SCARCE.—We learn that Mr H. Cook, Huron road, drained his fish pond the other day in order to procure ,the carp, •but in place of catching several thousand,' as expect- ed, there were only 270 weighing about 6 lbs. each. Ounnemutrlffr Fear will pfeach espec- ially for`Elle children one week from next Sunday morning, and would like that every child be present. There has been no service held in the Episco- pal church for the last two Sundays, owing to the pastor's absence at Chicago. SCHooL.--The public school here re- opens.on Monday ifext, cholarand the teach - their er would like to eenee sin places so thati'niine tray be trailing in after the classes are fattier]. We no- tice the man has:made a start with the new school fence, next thing will be to finish it. BVRNED.--We understard.:that.

Miss Jenny Snaid, of Brantford, is vis- iting friends around here. Mr Fred Stanley and sisters spent Sunday at their grandmother's, Mrs Elcoat, Tuck- ersmith. Mrs Armstrong, of • -St. Marys, is visiting her sister, Mrs H. B. Evans. The Royal Templars met last Monday evening with good attend- ance; next meeting in two weeks, 11�ir Will Elford is i`n Clifford, attending the wedding of his cousin. Miss Mary Evans is visiting her brother, Will, in Galt. Mr Brown Marquis had the misfortune to get kickedby a horse last Saturday, which might have prov- ed serious; he is improving. ACCOMMODATION.—Sometimes tra- vellers arriving on the late train, and by some meads not met by their friends, wish to stop over night, and not knowing that there is a house of accommodation they, go to some of the *private houses. 'On Tuesday night ,a; couple le tame wlshi^ng to 'go to Port- er's Hill, and not being met by friende, were informed by soma One that there was no public house. So of course they applied at a private house. Who ever it was gave the inforrrlation could not have been ar quainterd with the village, or he would have known that we have a Temperance hotel, known as the, Ramsey Honae, kept by W. 5 a - Ramse her Sts ommoda t elan a tion can be had at any stime, day or night, Travellers who have Stepped there: en sa • that eller,' . things sin"' hiidythe `k est ofattentiwai from Mr sic Mrs Hamsey, and think it quite a e 'cdit• to out village. Primary Junior leaving Senior leaving Junior matriculation .... 1 1 Senior matriculation .... 1, 1 So that only fourteen students were successful, as compared with thirty- four this year. The number of success- ful primaries has increased three hun- dred per cent. The advantage of attending a good Institute is easily inferred from the fact that of the eighteen outsiders who wrote at Clinton, only three succeeded, viz., primary, 2; junior leaving, 1. With the same staff for next year, except that Miss O'Connor, of Oshawa, succeeds Miss Hume; with classes fully ,�� organized in all the departments,. with 4 well equipped science room, library, ,•6 etc., and with the hope that springs' from success, the Instituteis entering upon what we have no doubt will be another eminently successful year, and students would do well to consider the above figures when they.are deciding what school to attend. For the num- ber attending, probably no school in the Province has a better showing. , The names of those passing Will be found elsewhere. The following letter explains itself:.— I hereby wish to express my gratitude to tho teacher8 of the Clinton Collegiate, which I at- tended, for tho kind interest they had taken' in my studies; of course this interest is a thing that they show to all their classes. 1, would. adviseall persons wishing to attend a Collegiate to give •Clinton their first attention, as they have a cpmpetent staff of teachers and a well furnished school.
