James Adams who was the guest
of Mrs. R, H, F. Gairdner for a
week, left on Monday mornings to
motor to Chicago,' visiting . his
daughter, Ann Arbor, Mich., and
his cottage .at. South Haven, en
route.
Mr. Adams was perhaps the old-
est person, and the one who came
the farthest, to attend the _ Cen-
tennial Fair. He enjoyed the week
here, visiting boyhood. scenes, and
the annual Fall Fair'which was
held on Clan Gregor Square, or
"the common" as it was called in
his boyhood. There were no trees
there then. •
The older bays played baseball
because it was so popular in the
United States, but- the younger
boys played cricket, he told the
writer.. It was interesting to hear
of. those days. Mr. Adams started
school here to Miss Eberhard.
The writer had always understood
that the little room at the back
of the old school had been the
first brick building; but Mr. Adams'
stated that it was the lower room
of the old school' which was the
first brick school in Bayfield. The
one at the back which had not
been used for some years was
built in about . 1875. Professor
Weir was principal when it was
built. Prior to that there was
just one big room.
Jaynes Adams was Yarn in Bay-
field in the cottage owned by J.
M. Stewart, and left here when
in his 13th year..He was a grand-
son of James Grainger, one of the
early influential- pioneers, who
came from Lanark, Scotland to
locate here. His father, John
Adams, operated a 'planing mill
which was situated • where ,:the
Roman Catholic Church stands. It
was burned In 1878 after which
