DOMINION DAY CELEBRATION WAS HUGE SUCCESS The Dominion Day celebration at Exeter on Monday drew a large crowd of people and a fine, program of sports was run off. The pro­ gram opened w-ith a monster pro­ cession. that paraded the Main St., from Victoria Park to the fair grounds. The parade was mar­ shalled by Mr. Frank Taylor astride a white horse- Following him was a long procession of school scildren carrying flags; a number of decor­ ated bicycles; the Dashwood Band, numerous trade floats, decorated autos and calithumpians. A clown jazz band comprising 10 persons provided interesting entertainment throughout the day. The streets were lined with autos and specta­ tors, the crowd being one of the largest to visit Exeter in many years At the fair grounds several patriotic numbers were sung by the school children and a very excellent patrio­ tic address was delivered by Rev. D. McTavish pastor of the James St. United church. The first ball game of the tourna­ ment was played in the morning by Fullarton and Exeter and in a game that was full of thrills, Exeter won by the score of 5-4. The first time Exeter went to bat they succeeded in chalking up 4 runs and added an- other in the 4th. Fullarton scored one run .in the 3rd inning and three in the 6th. In the last innings |hey had a man on 3rd and one on 2nd with two men down and needed only one run to tie the score when Law- son picked a hot grounder for the 3rd put out. The first game of the afternoon was between Crediton and Hensall, who gave a good exhibition of fast ball. The only run was scored in the sixth innings by Hensall. Hensall and Exeter met in the play-off when Hensall carried off the honors in another very fast game the score being 2-0. Hensall scored one run in the first inning, one in the 3rd and one in the 6th. The score at that time was 3-0. In the first of the 7th inning Exeter scored the only two runs for the game. Seldom has a tournament been run off with less’ scoring than took place on the Exeter diamond on Dominion day. Hugh Berry umpir­ ed behind the bat to the satisfac­ tion of all. Between the games in the after­ noon two races were run off, a green race and a 2.25 race. In the green race Sid Hodgins was 1st, Frank Taylor 2nd, and Hal Brown 3rd; and in the 2:25 race Thomas Year- ley was an easy winner over Harry Bi er ling.

A very successful union meeting of Hurondale and Exeter branches of the AVomen’s Institute was held last Wednesday afternoon in Main St. United church, The main feat­ ure of the program was an address by Miss M. V. Powell, special gov­ ernment speaker. She pointed out the necessity and importance of In­ stitute work, and particularly stress* ed “home-making” as one of tho chief aims.
