TEURSDAY, MAY 26, '04 VICTORIA DAY AT EXETER After several days of rain and gleo. my weather the exceedinglyfine day with which we weve %aired on Tues- day was most welcome. The crowd that attended the sports here ha the• afternoon was pot so large as has at- tended on former oocasams when Ex- eter celebrated the birthday of the late Gracious Qeeen, owing, to donbt, in a great ineo.sure to the many attractions in the sarrounding towits, and. the backward season with the farmers. A. large number of former residents of the village, came to their ad borne to see relatives aud Mends end juin in celebreting the day, Likewise many of the Exeter people spent the holiday elsewhere, The sports in the after- noon weld not be called a sticeese, as naany a the events were not compet- ed. Tne baseball match between Ex- eter and Orediton resulted in favor ot the latter by a large margin. Dasb. wood football team did not appear,, consequently the football match to have taken place between the above named team and the Zurich boys,did not come off. The principal featnre of the afternoon and the one to attract much attention and inteeest was the dancing which all present voted. most excefient. The pipers were D. Camp- bell, of Hamilton, and John Wilson, of St. Thomas. --The opening reel was given by Mr. John Grey, St. Marys; Miss May Campbell, Hamilton; Miss Edith McLeod, London; and Katie Campbell, Hamilton. , Professor Grey, of St. Marys, gave exhibitions in the Shantrews and Sailors Hornpipe which were much applauded. The prizes in the competed dances were awarded as follows: Highland Fling for girls, let, Miss Amy T. McLeod, London; 2nd, Miss May Campbell, Hamilton; 3rd, Miss Edith McLeod, London. S'dotch Reel, 1st, Prof. Grey; 2ad, Miss May Campbell; 3rd, Miss E, McLeod. Shantrews for girls; May Campbell, E. McLeod, A. McLeod. Sword Dance,. John Grey, May Campbell. Irish Jig, M. Campbell, E. McLeod, A. McLeod. The Exeter band was also in attend- ance and rendered several selections. The concert in the evening in point if variety, merit and attendance was all that the public could desire. The honse was filled. The cambers were all well rendered and heartily applaud- ed, and consisted of illustrated songs, Ranopticau views, solos, character singing, instrumentals and Highland dancing. The artists, all: Of whom de- serve credit, were Miss Susie McGill, of London Mr. Will McLeod, Seaforth; Prof. Workman, Stratford; Mr. Mac Vincent, of town, and the dancers and pipers who took part in the afternoon's entertainment. .Altogether the con- ' cert was enjoyable. UllpreCedelliCd RNA —OF THE— Sovereign Bank of Canada The second annual statement of the Sovereign bank of Canada has just been issued, and must be very gratify- ing to the shareholders of that pro- gressive institution. The net profits amounted to $119,760.91, as against $51,233.00 the previous year. Four quarterly dividends have been paid, amounting in all to $65,000, while $20,000 has been reserved for interest x;ehate on unmatured bills, ana the sum of $25,000 transferred to Reserve Fund, making the •latter $350,000. The comparative statement of assets and liabilities is also very satisfactory, the deposits showing an increase of $2,438,500. The strong position of the Sovereign Bank of Canada is shown by the large amount of cash and quick assets. The cash and bank balances are more than sufficient to pay of its demand deposits or circulation, while the total immediately available assets amount to over 51% of the entire liabil- ities to the public. The assets have grown from $5,775,000 in 1903 to $8,- 601,000 an increase of about $2.830,000. This showing would be creditable to any of the old established instutions, and speaks well for the zeal and abil- ity displayed by the management of the Sovereign Bank of Canada. Mes- srs. A. E. Jarvis & Co„ Brokers, Tor- onto, say in their circular to clients, dated 20th inst.: "When the Sovereign Bank of Canada was started we had the pleasure of commending its shares • asan investment for our clients, and a number of them bought the stock. • A year ago the showing was a most favoroble one considering the time the Bank had been in business, and this year their statement is far ahead of last ye:tr. Their deposits have reach- ed the large sem of $5,69L453„ Their assets immediately available are be- tween 50% and 60% of their entire li- ability to the public. This last feature :shows the bank to be hi a very strong position. Their earnings for the year have been most satisfactory. The • Batik madein profits for the year end- ing 30thApril last, close to sno,000. Of this $65,000 was paid in dividends, the reserve account received $25,000, a reserve was established for rebate of interest of bills discounted and not yet due of $20,000, and $5,000 was written off the Beak premises, leaving a bal- ance to be carried forward to the cred- it of Profit and Loss :iceman t of $6412.- i35, The Reserve Fund now amounts to $850,000.

Sanders, Tired, bnt thovoughly happy were She menibere of the Canadian Press Aesoolatiou, who returned on Satur- day last frona the Si. Louis Exposition. Including the trip to and froin St. Louie the members of the Association spent a week in that great city and it is needless to say the outing was one of peat pleasure and profit as well as a continued round of gorgeous .sight- seelog, making on the whole one of the iuost pleasant trips the writev has ever bad the privilege of taking. Through the kindness of the Grand Trunk Railway system and the Illinois Central Railway a special . train of Pullmans were provided for the ogees - ion which left Toronto on May 11th and arrived at St. Louis about 7 o'clock a. in, on Sunday morning. The party was lodged at the Inside Inn situated on the grounds at tha south eastern corner'which affords accommodation for 6000 people. This is an exceeding- ly large structure, built for the occas- ion and its enormous size attracts great attention. The World's Fair management fixes the rates to be charged at this hotel which run from $1.50 to $3.50 a day for rooms accord- ing to location and accommodations. For $3.00 one may have a room and three meals a day with admission to Fair grounds. Single meals at the In- side Inn are: 50c. for breakfast and luncheon and 75c. for evening dinner. Thousands of visitors find it conven- ient to stop at the Inside Inn, being inside the grounds at all times with privilege of retiring to one's room, or to the wide verandas or corridors at at any time to rest t)r. take refresh- ment. Market street cars direct from the Union station pass the State build- ings entrance, which is but a few hun- dred feet from the Inside Inn. On arrival at London many of the members of the Association joiued the party among whom the writer formed the acquaintance of Mr. W. S. Given, of the Reporter, Millbrood; Mr. M. MacBeth, of the Sun, Milverton, and Mr. A. W. Ellis, of the Enterprise, 'Wyoming, and all being single handed it was decided to take in the sights to- gether. A mere agreeable, congenial or well-suited party would be hard to find, and the many varied experiences incident to a trip of this kind would be interesting in detail, but let us pass on to a brief description of what has been stored up for the thousands, yes, mil- lions who will visit St. Louis during the next few months: We might say the Exposition is not complete in every detail, several of the buildings uot yet being finished and as a consequence many exhibits are not yet in place, but will be very shortly, suffi.ce it to say the great city of St. Louis has given to the world an epic. Its Homeric song is of the victories of mai: over matter; earth the sea and the heavens yield their prophecies of greater triuuiphs. As the breath of the 20th century vibrates with action, so the universal exposition of 1901 reflects the spirit of the age in its flight towards truth. Annihilation of space by mental and mechanical motion, the subjugation of time to the swifter achievement of the race, becomes the higher vision of this world's spectacle: To -day and now is its hying motive. High honor attends the elder years which mark the .hour and the man, yet the dead bury their dead. The lives of the living; how things are. done rather. than the things performed; the productive phases of busy and ingenious figures repeat the cry of forward. True to its heroic note the St. Louis pageant of progress was fashioned on such a scale of im- mensity as to overwhelm the imagin- ation. The vast lesson is a mighty drama of civilization played on an Olympian stage., Historicaldignity drapes the story with impressive sig- nificance,- for this modern Olympian falls on the one-hundredth annivers- ary of Ainerican statecraft which gave to the republic an inland empire. now the home of 15,000,000 of people. A decade of la urna,n endeavor has elapsed since the Colinnbiari Exposition at Chicago. No international jubilee eclipsed that majestic assembly of gov- ernments until the marvellous marine beauty of the White City faded into this new picture of genius.. The Exposition caught the reflected glory of the Spanish-American war. Increased interest in the republic, as a censequence of that demonstration of power, attracted the attention of the world to the degree of that foreign governments needed no urging to gather at St. Loins. Fifty-three na- tions responded with displays costing seven millions of dollars. The flush of triumphal conquest made its influence felt in thc participation ofhome inter- ests. Forty-three states appropriated eight millions of .dollars. A. popular coincidence between the Philippines and the exposition conaetnorating the peaceful transfer of the United States of the Louisiana Province, a territory ten times the area of the original thirteen States, induced the federal . government to contribute twelve millions of dollars towards the tretnenduons celebration. Patriotic impulses stirred the citi- zens of t,he expositipn city to the gen- erous subscription of ten millions inore. Individual exhibitors of all countries spent ten millions to prepare and install their displays. Show men expended five millions in building and eqoipping atriusernents. With the enormous aggregate of forty-seven millions of dollars the greatest monu- ment to enlightenment has arisen' in two years out of a mere fancy of one dreamers idle hour. . Such an astounding drama of man demanded a theatre of almost fabulous proportions. Nature was , designing the playhouse when the ancient hills arose from primordial slumber. Mas- ter aechiteets recognized her prepar. al ions in the far sweeping,. landscape or Forest park. Two square miles of mind -land plateattand clipping valleys, land -locked lakes and wicle reaches of n1 endow fiat isheci the ma nolo th stage and its settings. The hush of inno- (tense .1a.y over its beauty. , (To be Continued.) v_s The annual Distadet meeting of the Methodist chureh was held in james street church Wednesday and Thurs- day, May 18 and 19. Meeting opened at 2 p.m. with es 3 arnee Flannon, ID 0., cbairman of the District, pre- sidiog. After devotional exercises the roll was called, and all but three minis- ters answered to their names. Rev. S. A. Anderson, of Kirkton, was elected Secretary and .Rev, A. Ayearst was appointed statistical Sec- retary. The examination of minister- ial character brought oat the fact that the ministers are blameless in chara- cter and life, Rev. 0, Baker, S.T.L., Junior pastor of Elirnvalle, was care- fully examioed by the chairman in re- gard to his theolegioal studies arid his course of reading during the year, and was recommended to the Conference to be continued on trial, and sent to College to complete his studies.. Rev. Wm. A. Walden, who has been in at- tendance at College. was recommend- ed to be continued on trial and return- ed to College. On Thursday the lay members were 'present with the ministers, when the general' business of the District was transacted. Rev, R. W. Knowles and H, E,ston were appointed to audit the circuit schedules, The reports of the year show that them ha e been a slight falling off in membership, owing to removals to the North West, but the circuits are in a healthy financial condition. There has been an advance of over $509 for Mis- sions, which reveals the growing in- terests of our people in this great work. The following ministers were elected. to represent the district on the several Conference Committees: • Stationing Come Rev. W. Godwin; Reserve rep- resentative, Rev, 3. Herta Sunday School, R. W. Knowles; Epworth Leagues, 3. Ayearete Contingent Fend, B. L. Hutton; Temperance prohibition and Moral Reform, E. Medd; Nomina- ting, Dr. Hannon, Rev. S. A. Anderson and H. E. Hus- ton were appointed a committee to act with the chairman in visiting weak circuits. The Chairman, Rev. W. God- win and H. E. Huston were appointed a committee to visit some localities where the work demands adjustment and consolidation. . The following resolution regarding union was heartily paseed. Moved by Rev. W. Godwin seconded by H. E. Huston, Resolved that this district meeting, compoaed of ministers and laymen, heartily approves of the move- ment toward union, between the Pres- byterian, Methodist and Congregation- al churches, and pray that in the in- terests of our Redeemer's Kingdom and the general welfare of mankind. the day may soon dawn, when the work may be consummated. A resolution of sympathy was pass- ed to Rev. W. Rigsby in his loss of healtb, and of condolence with Rev. j. Hart in the sad bereavement of his el- dest son. It was resolved that the next annu- al meeting be held in the village of Ailsa Craig. ' Grand Bend Mr. Wm. Boyle, of Centralia, has ac- cepted a position with Mr. Wm. Le- vitt for the summen-Mr. Sid Bossen- berry, who has spent the winter at the Franklin House, in Park- hill, is visiting his parents here. -Mr. John Rae, of Alvinston, has been ap- pointed inspector of the work of build- ing a pier and breakwater at Grand Bend, which is being done by the Do- minion Government. -What might have proved a fatal accident happened in Hamilton's saw mill a few days ago. Mr. J. W. Holt was engaged in cutting slabs with a slab saw and the wire that rims over a pulley to draw the saw back after it has out the slab broke and let the saw come forward giving him a severe gash in the thigh. Only- for a belt slipping off the pally and striking hineknocking him away from the saw there is no doubt it would have been fatal as it was only one inch from the main artery. It took nine stitches to draw the wound together. *MR 11/ . • . 6 To be a successful wife, to 'I retain the love and zutmiration of 'her husband should be a woman's constant study, 11 she would be all that she may, she must guard well against, the signs of ill health.
