THE ANNUAL FALL FAIR
AT , LUCKNOW
The 55th ninnual fall fair of • the
Lucknow Agricultural Society has
paused - into history, the event having
been staged Thursday and Friday of
last week. The weather was delight-
fully fine, unless onecomplains of the
.unseasonable heat of the afternoon.
This, however, is one of the years
when it cannot be said that the Show
was "bigger and better than ever."
IIere there was the same sort of fall-
ing off as was reported from Goder-
ich and Kincardine this year -a its first victory over the men of

ASHFIELD OLD TIMER
VISITS LUCKNOW
Lucknow .had as a 'visitor for a
few hours last week Mr. John A.
MacDon 1, of Nanaimo, Bk„ a for-
mer resident of Kintail villat}e.
Mr. MacDonald is best remembered
in this_ part as the man who captain-
ed for a number of years' the Huron
County Tug -of -War team in the days
when the Caledonian games made the
name of Lucknow known far and
wide. To a friend we heard MacDon-
ald remark that it was just 33 years
ago this September that his team won
these on Thursday.. evening.
Gate receipts indicate that the
crowd was not quite up to that of the
best years, but it was not far behind.
There was the usual sociability and
pleasant time all round.
The concert on Friday evening driw
a full house, and the entertainment
was of a high older.
A dry spell of unusual length for
this time of the year was broken Sun-
day
unday and Monday by electric and rain
storms of summer-like severity. The
rami was most welcome to moisten
the dry grass fields. „ - and fill, empty
cisterns. It will also give the fall
wheat a boost.
Mr. and Mrs. J. G. Armstrong are
this week k at St. Louis, Missouri, at-
tending the_ big convention of drug-
;ists being held there. They went by
motor to London • where on Monday
they caught a special trach run b.
the Rexall Co. for the benefit of the:
store • managers. This was one, of
eight special trains, all scheduled to
arrive in St. Louis at the same hour
from all over the continent, a fact
which suggests the magnificent scale
on which the convention is cc nducted.
Mr. E. S. Caswell, of the Toronto
Public Library, visited Lucknow and
Ashfield friends the past week, while
in town being the guest of Mr. and
Mrs. Geo. Anderson. Mr. Caswell as
i boy worked on The Sentinel, and
never fails when in Lucknow to call
and see how much of the old plant is
still in commission. He did nqt fol-
low up -the printing but he never has
forgotten the days when he threw
type and helped .get out the paper on
the old Washington press. He visited
also at Dungannon, Goderich 'and
Clinton.
