GOOD RACES
Ideal conditions from every stand-
point favored the race meet here' on
Wednesday afternoon of last week.
The weather was perfect, the field
of horses was large and then atten-
dance the largest by long odds of
any similar event of the kind ever
held in Exeter. The 2.15 class had
eight entries, the 2.17 trot had
seven and the' 2.30 class had eight
and the class of horses were a credit
to any race meet. There was not a
heat that there was any loafing and
every horse was driven out to the
-limit. The committee are to be con-
gratulated on the success of the
event and it looks as though Exeter
will claim one day of every year for
a day of races. Following are the

MISCELLANEOUS SHOWER
A happy gathering of young folks
from town and Usborne Township
numbering about 30, took place at
the home of Mr. and Mrs. John Hun-
ter, William St., on Saturday even-
ing last, when a miscellaneous show-
er was tendered Miss Alice Hunter,
daughter of Mrs. E. E. Hunter, of
Usborne, prior to her marriage this
week to Mr. Wellington R. Brock.
The event was arranged as an entire
surprise to Miss Hunter. The shower
comprised many beautiful and useful
articles for the home.
FRED DAVIDSON RELEASED
The case of Fred Davidson, -who
was employed at the home of Mr.
Robt, Munn last November and who
was accused of a serious offence by
a Barnado Home girl; came up be-
fore His Honor, Judge Lewis, at
Goderich, on Monday. The main
charge against the young man was
abandoned and through his Counsel,
Mr. J. G. Stanbury, qhe pleaded guil-
ty to assault. His Counsel then made
made an earnest appeal to the Judge
to give the boy another chance, as
this was his first offence and his
past record was a clean one, with
the result that the accused was al-
lowed to go on his own recognizance.
DELLS RING AGAIN
The bells of the Trivitt Memorial
church rang out their harmonious
melodies of familiar hymns for the
first time in many months,' on Sun-
day "evening last and we understand
Mr. L. Day has consented to keep up
the good work from Sunday to Sun-
day in future, much to the satisfac-
tion of the congregation and the citi-
zens generally. For some time the
ropes connecting the hammers with
the leavers ° for ringing purposes
have been broken, but these have
been put in repair and it is hoped
they will continue so. That such a
beautiful set .of bells as these should
be allowed to remain dormant in the
belfry seems a shame.- . Mr. Day is
to be commended for fulfilling this
long felt want.

fendants, but were not tried, ; the
plaintiffs being • Garnet A. Jacobi,

pectively are $90, "$93.75 and $93-

DEATH OF MRS. FRAYNE
There passed away at her home on
James Street, Monday, June 22nd,
another of the esteemed and much
respected residents of Exeter. Mrs.
John Frayne, after a long and tedi-
ous illness. About four years ago,
deceased was stricken with paralysis
and about one years later was de-
prived of the sight of both eyes.
With both afflictions, however, she
was able to be up and around, but
in January last she was taken worse
and gradually sank until the end
came. Mrs. Frayne was a daughter
of the late Thomas Oke, and was
born on the 3rd concession of Us -
borne. About 52 years ago, she was
married to her late husband, Mr,
John Frayne, who predeceased her
about eight years. A few years ago
she moved with her daughter to Ex-
eter and her whole life has been
spent in this locality. She was a
woman of broad sympathies and
high ideals and was devoted to her
home and family. She was a life
member of James St. Methodist
church and her interest in all church
work was pronounced. She is sur-
vived by two sons and one daughter
—Garnet and Clayton, of Usborne,
and Miss Emily at home. She is al-
so survived by two sisters, Mrs.
Sheere and Mrs. Southcott, both of
town. The funeral took place to the
Exeter, cemetery. •✓--
