The prize was a handsome Union Jagck, a very ap- propriate prize on Canada's national holiday. The Clinton company also took a prize for the most ancient fire -fighting apparatus on parade. This outfit, which dates back 'to 1861 andsome say at least ten years earlier than that, is a small, hand -manipulated pump wagon, looking morn like a boy's toy wagon, as it stands in the fire ball beside the fine, new,fire truck now in use. The old trap had been lying about the yard for years but this spring. the Wien had it put into shape, paint- ed up a nice red color and gave it a little trip out into the world, where it justified the care bestowed upon it by carrying off a prize at the first show it attended. It goes with- out saying that this relict will be one of the most cherished possessions of the local fire company from now on. The two prizes, the flag and a ihemical fire extinguisher, are now on exhibition in Miss McDonald's window. The Pipe band, while not taking any prize, created, a fine impression in Tavistock by their fine bagpipe music and fancy drumming, and they remained to take part in the evening tattoo.

Manning, local manager of the Royal Bank, will be granted one ear's leave of absence, at the end of that time retiring on pension. Mr. Manning, time, you wouldn't think it to look at him, has reached the - age at which the Royal retires its officials, having lowered the age limit by five years just recently. Mr. Manning has been in the bank- ing business for thirty-three years, all but three having been spent in Clinton, the past twenty-one with the Royal Bank. He started as a junior in 1897 in the private bank of Mes- ars. Ferran and Tisdale. In 1906 he went to Dungannon as manager of the Sterling Bank and three years later, on the Royal taking over the Sterling, he returned to Clinton as manager of the Royal, and has held that position ever since. Mr. Man- ning's successor here will be Mr. E. Patterson of Lion's Bead. We are glad to be able to announce that Mr. Manning will in .all likil- hood continue to reside in Clinton, where he has his own home and many happy associations. Mr. Man- ning has taken a keen interest in Collegiate affairs, having been a member of the board for several years and is a member of the Public Library board. He is also a member of the board of Weelev-Willis United Rev. A. E.
