will about equal the •.expenee of the
•visit. . The organ, Which the council
said might bebought, may be puts
chased when the committee Meets

cent cake as a, special. The owner of
the Games which may suceeed in
deleatiag A. J's has something to be

bitor. Mr. Geo. Swallow, who main-
tains his old time interese in fancy

Mr. D. e. xaesso Nests With an AcOdeat
Our esteemed, citizen, Mr. D.B. Ken-
nedy, met with an accident on Thurs-
day afternoon last from the effects of
whichhe has since been contined to his
horne. He was driving out the linron
Road and in turning about the cutter
upset and the horse started to run
away. Mr. Kennedy clung to the lines
and was thrown against a, telegraph
post and bruised badly about the head.
Mr. Shipley saw the unfortunate affair
and brought Mr. Kennedy home but
for several hours he remained in an
unconscious state. He is now improy-
• ing nicely and we all hope thatbefore
many clays •we may see the genial
D, B. upon our streets again.
The Many Dogs of This Pod.•
As air. Joe Rattenbury was driving
down Victeria, street behind his speedy
colt the other day a vicious collie dog
caught it by the front leg and after-
wards by the hind one. The suddeu
attack and the nips frightened the
.colt which plunged and kicked and
would have run away but for the noel -
headed manner in which it was sub-
dued by Mr. Rattenbury after plung-
ing about from one ditch to another
with the shafts broken, The cutter
was damaged somewhat and the colt,
too, injured but what annoyed its
genial owner most was the. effect the.
experience would have upon his drivels
Ile says, and he ought to know, that
there are a number of just *arch useless
curs running about the streets which
are a constant source of danger and
there's no telling what day a serious
accident may eccur. He promises,roore-
over, to make it interesting for the
owner of the next canine Which makes
such an a,ttack. Query : How many of
-these dogs as ownerless when the vgt
'ant assessor passes by? .
