Tag TONG SUCCESSFUL CELEBRATION IN WINGHAM Ten Thousand People—Thirty•four Lodges_ and Five Bands— An Orderly Crowd. The battle of the Boyne was fought on July est, 1690, old style of reckon- ing. The Gregorian calendar publish- ed in 1582 rectified the error in the old calendar, it was adopted in Eng- land in 1752, when eleven days were omitted in computing dates. The bat- tle of the Boyne is sometimes said to have been fought July 1st, but by the calendar correction that date became the 12th and the Ora.tgemen celebrate the victory on that day. The local lodge and especially the committees deserve credit for the suc- cessful day for to a large extent it was due to their untiring efforts. Ever- greens decked every pbet and stream- ers bade the visitors a cordial wel- come. A wet nigth before and a very dull and threatening dawn were not very encouraging, but by daylight the clouds began to disperse and the day turned out to be one of the real warm type, The arrival of each incoming train swelled the crowd and these to- gether with those who drove made up the number to about ten thousandand the 12th was once again a successful celebration, more so this year than ever before, It proves very cleanly that a celebration will be just as suc- cessful (and far better) in a dry town than in a licensed town. A gentleman from a nearby town returning from the Lietowel celebration said "the con- trast was surprising between the two celebrations, although Wingham may have the smallest crowd of the two, they have the crowd to be proud of." The council deserve special com- mendation for the placing of men at each corner to direct and regulate the street traffic doing a great deal toward keeping the day free of accidents. After dinner, the park was the ren- denzvous, and under Marshall T. J. McLean, mounted on a white horse, assisted by several district directors of ceremonies, the immense procession was formed with the following lodges and bands in the line of march: 575 Orange Hill — Geo.

Groves. called the meeting to order. Acting Mayor VanNorman read the following address of welcome: Ladies and Gentlemen, Orange Brethren and Sisters. "In theabsence of our worthyM ayor, Dr, Irwin; Who has gone on a holiday, the Counoil hag appointed nee to dis- charge the duties of his Wide during bis absenee,and in such capacity in be- half of the citizens of Wingham I ex- tend to you all a most hearty and cord- ial welcome to our beautiful town. We trust that you will all enjoy your- selves, and that nothing will happen to may your pleasure and happiness. We extend to you the freedom of the Town, and the Chief boa been instruct- ed to keep in the background. In these tithes of stress and danger, when our Empire is engaged in a great struggle, when any of our bravest and best have already fallen, we know that amongst their number ere many of the Lal Orange Association, who have always been faithful and true to the Ring and our Empire. Again wishing you a pleasant and. happy sojourn amongst use i now glee • way to others who will address you on the 'very important questions pertain- ing to your Order. The gathering was then addressed by the following brethren;—A. H. Musgrove, M.P.P.; Rev, T. H. Farr, Blyth; Rev. Mr. Page, Brussels; Rev. J. W. Hibbert, County Chaplain; Jas. Bowman, M. P. and A. W, Wright, Past County Master of Lincoln. The speeches were eloquent and effective, and were listened to with great at- tention. The speakers dealt with the principles of the Orange Order,, their struggle for liberty of speech and con- science. It was clearly pointed out that the same principles, autocracy and democracj, are still at variance, as shown in the "Great War," all referred to the number of Orangemen in the field of battle, and all were optimistic as to the final result of the great struggle, as all Canadiane, un- respective of creed, were fighting side bey side, nothing was said that would in any way offend the feelings of.their Roman Catholic citizens. Seldom have we heard more effective or earnest addresses. Bro, C. Raine, Londesboro, opened the program with prayer. Selections were well rendered by the massed bands. After the program all joined in singing the National Anthem. The firemen held a very successful garden party in "the evening. Miss Mabel McDonald, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Dave McDonald, was the owner of the lucky ticket, No. 462, which en- titled her to the cak rocker. Mies Luella Holmes, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Dewitt Holmes, made the draw, One of the most amusing features of day was a baseball match between the fate and the Leans. The fats' captain was L. F. Binkley and Ed. Harrison was captain of the leane. The leans played ten men, which the fats claim was due to their being so thin that the extra man could not be found. The teams were . composed of Fate—Ab. Rintoul, Robt. Allen, Amos Tipling, Geo. Spotton, John Quirk, W. Holmes, Herb Campbell, W. A. Currie and W. G. Patterson. Leans—H. B. Elliott, W. Dore. E. Harrison, Allen Reid, W. Bone, John Anderson, Irwin Patterson, Charles Knechtel, —Johnston and Davideon. Geo. Town of Wroxeter made a very good umpire. The score was 16-9 in favor of the leans, The fats appeared to have everything their way until the last part of the game, and their pitcher worked under diffi- culties with the aid of a lantern. Jno. Quirk, over 82 years of age landed a home run which would have made a professional justly proud. George Spotton is also establishing quite a record for speed. 4 NOTES ON THE DAY.

Mayor Irwin was granted a leave 'of two months holidays, Councillor VanNorman will occupy hie chair during his abeense, The Council fixed the rate of taxation for the town foe 1915 at 30 mills. This will be somewhat of a surprise to meet citizens, the re -organization ,of t h e town finances the:economies and addit- ional sources of revenue necessarily should lead to a substantial reduction in taxation from the 35 mills of last year in spite of the additional mill placed upon us by the provincial gov- erment for patriotic purposes, The high rate of last year was due to sev- eral causes, among them, (a) the plac- ing in the estimates of $1629 reported to the Council of 1914 as the deficit in the general account for 1913; (b) the payment of $1500 of the $2000 deficit in the capital expenditures of the waterworks department in 1913; (c) the first payments on debenturee issued in 1')13 on machinery hall and water- works which annual payments amount to $1010,85: (d) also the reduction in town receipts of $600 owing to hotel licences being cut off; (e) in addition to these items amounting to over $5800, there was expended on the mainten- ance of the streets over $2000 reduced this year to $1350 in the estimates. The large reduction in taxation this year is due mainly to the special audit of the town booke, and the ,permission obtained afterwards from the legisla- ture in March to sell debentures to include the 50316.25 deficit in the gen- eral account, the $500 deficit remain- ing in the waterworks account, and the deficit of $1250 in the electric light department due to 51100 of the electric light funds being used in 1911 in the general fund of the town preventing the electric light department from paying a note then outstanding. Had the council and people of the town not become aware early this year of the existence of thie indebtedness a n d taken energetic means to place our town finances in proper shape, our rate for 1915 and for many years should have been hopelessly high.

The game was very even up to the third quarter when the superior condition of the visitors in the last quarter won the game for Wingham.

Possibly it was the pile of sawdust in front of St. Marys goal that kept the goal tender from seeing the ball in the last quarter. LAUCHIE, AITCHISON DEAD.
