OUR EQUESTRIENNE. --Miss Swan, of this village attended the Industrial Ex- hibition! at Toronto last week: She competed with six other lady riders, and, -altliongh she did not receive first prize, it was the opinion of many com- petent judges that she should have, as there was not a lady in the ring who sat on her horse so gracefully and managed it so skilfully. She attends the Pro- vincial at Guelph this week, where, it is hoped, she will be treated more fairly. Gnu RCII IM PRO VEMENTs. — Union Presbyterian church of this village. has become too small to accommodate the large eIngregation. who each Sunday worship • there. • Seats are being con- tinually applied for and 'cannot be sup- plied, as all now are taken up. The managers have, therefore, decided to en- large the 'building by erecting a gallery acrossthe end, which will largely in- crease the seating accommodation. It is expected to have these improvements completed in time for the anniversary services. This indisputable evidence of the increasing prosperity of the congre- gation is alike gratifying to all, and particularly so to the new pastor, Rev. Mr. Simpson, who is deservedly popular with all classes. _ . HORSEOLOGY.—At the recent stallion races, held in Seaforth, there was a very close race between Mr. John Ratten- bury's stallion, "Revenge," and Mr. J. T. Carter's stallion "Kentucky Star." Mr. Carter, it seems, said something which " riled " our good citizen, and he accordingly issues a challenge to Mr. Carter, offering to trot " Revenge " against "Kentucky Star" on the Clin- ton track thiS fall for any sum from $200 to $400. 'Mr. Carter replies by issuing a counter challenge. He says that his,horse Was lamed on the day of the Seaforth rces, _and is unable to trot 1 this fall, but I e challenges Mr. Ratten- bury to meet h'm on the Seaforth track on the 1st of July, 1887, and trot a match for $2,500 a side, this being the amount Mr. Carter claims his horse would earn during the season. This looks a little like a " bluff " game, but we have no doubt Mr. Rattenbury's pile is as large as Mr. Carter's, and the old horse is—well, as good anyway. Blyth. BASE BALIL.—A challenge was receiv- ed by the junior base ball club here from the club in Brussels. A match was ar- ranged to be played here last Tuesday, but owing to the death of a cousin of one of the Brussels players, the match was postponed until next Tuesday after- noon. PERSONAL. —Mrs. John Einigh is in Teeswater.---Misa Hackett left town for her home in Toronto last week.—W. Milne and C. E. Tanner returned home from their trip up the lakes on Monday. —Our band took first prize at Zurich on Tuesday. They beat Seaforth and Credi- ton, Exeter being afraid to compete when onr band went. —Mr. R. B. Wheeler has rented the store belonging Ito John Kelly, and is moving into it. SALVATION JUBILEE.—The army held a grand banquet and jubilee in the Orange and Temperance halls. In the former eatables were served, and in the latter the meeting was held. Early in the afternoon loads of soldiers frond the surrounding corps arrived, and kept coming until about five o'clock, when a grand parade took place. After the parade they assembled in the Orange hall for supper along with a large num- ber not belonging to the army. About 7.30 a torchlight procession paraded the principal streets led by Staff - Captain Glover. After having knee - drill in front- of the temperance hall, they all went inside for an all- night meeting. About 10.30 p. m., Staff -Captain Glover requested those who were not members of the army to retire from the room, and a half night of prayer was commenced, which lasted until morning. The many friends of Captain Torrance, late of Blyth corps, were glad to see her among them last evening. Goderich. ACCIDENT.—On Monday evening as Mrs. Jno. Walters, Colborne, and Mrs. McLean, Huron road, were returning to the latter lady's residence, the horse attached to the buggy in which they were seated, shied at a passing horse, thrpwing the occupants on the road. Both ladies were considerably shaken and bruised, but luckily no bones were broken. The horse was stopped by Master Whitely, in town, the animal having left the buggy on the road in a slightly damaged condition. FIRE. —J wit after the clock struck 12 on Friday night last, the fire, alarm sounded. On turning out it was not necessary to enquire the cause of the alarm, the town being brilliantly ilium- , ,inated. The cause was the stable on the rear portion of Mr. Jas. McFar- lane's lot in St. Andrew's ward. The cause of the fire was undoubtedly incen- diarism as 130 fire had been used in the building. Mr. McFarlane cannot under- stand why anybody should injure him by such a cowardly act, he not having, so far as he knows, an enemy in the town. Mr. McFarlane had an excellent overcoat and a number of fowls in the stable, and it might be that some one stole some of them and then set fire to the building. to hide the theft. The building and contents were uninsured. THE WEST Humes- Siow.—If Gode- rich could keep up the swing it had last Tuesday and Wednesday it would be a very thriving place. Any person ac- quainted noticed an unusual number of farmers in town, who had come here to attend the West Huron Fair. Some- body has said that Goderich always has a wet day for the fairs, but this was an, exception to the rule, as Tuesday was a very fine day and Wednesday was fair, except a little sprinkling in the after- noon. The exhibit of horses, cattle and sheep was up to the average. The poul- try department was well represented. Mr. Hayward, of Clinton, was here With a number of carriages, also a number of other makers showed, so that the judges had considerable difficulty in deciding the merits, as all were good. The agri- cultural implement department was thin- ly represented. Messrs. Giffin & Gal- SEPTEMBER 24, 1886.

McFAUL. lagler were Ihere with two very pretty little bronze monuments, and many ex- amined them with a great deal of interest. The grain departnient was well repte- sented, the samples were extra good, and the judges here must have had con- siderable difficulty in awarding the prizes. Owing to the dry season, it was expected that the root crop, would be a poor exhibit, but many old'farmers say they never saw 0 better lot of roots, wherever they were grown. There were a number of "ring -men," " wheel - of -fortune -men" and other games to get the people's money. These things were not very well patronized, and many failed to see the good of them. Every- thing passed off very quietly and, we think, satisfactorily. Varna. BRIEF BITS. -:-Our village has been greatly improved by the construction of several new crossings.—Mr. Stewart, sr., has been seriously ill of laterbut we are glad to hear that he is recovering again. —It is rumored there -will be a wedding in town soon.—The Bayfield stage was nearly two hours late one night last week. -The cause was, John A. was in London.

If such parties had Six months in jail it would teach them a lesson. NOT CORRECT.—:DEAR EXPOSITOR,— Would you kindly allow me to correct, the article quoted from the Port Huron Times, relating to the robbery of Wm. McCash, a Goderich farmer, which is utterly false as given in the said article, and I think it only just to give the true statement. Thos. McAsh, from Stan- ley, arriving at Port Huron, and having purchased a ticket for Marlette, having to wait for the train, took a stroll to Pine Grove by himself, not being invited by any one. He was there confronted. by twrIr strangers, who demanded his money, not amonnting to $100, whieh he had to give up l to them. He return- ed at once and notified the police, giv- ing a description of the men, and efforts were at once made to trace them. Thii is the statement that was given to the chief of police, who said the statementin the Port Huron Times was not the one that he received. I3y kihdly inserting this you will oblige.—Jtesuce. • teeburn. PERSoNAL. — Misses Maggie and Louisa Fotheringham, of Tuckersmith, were the guests of their cousins, the Messrs. Linklater, last week. While here they visited Point Farin and other places of interest. TEA MEETING.—A 'very successful tea meeting was held in the Presby- terian church here on Thursday even- ing, 16th inst. The rain in the after- noon somewhat marred the pleasure of the day, but cleared off in time for the young people to hare some exercise at quoits, ball and swings before the wet - dome summons to tea was sounded. Tee - was served in the school-roonf and, after all had been fully served al'ith share of the dainties which the ladies had so generously supplied, the assem- bled company repaired to the church, and the chair was taken by the pastor, Dr. Tire. An efficient choir was in at- tendance under th leadership of lb% John Linklater, with Miss Edith Hor- ton as organist. The several pieces of music were well rendered and much ap- preciated. Revs. Messrs. Johnston and Salton, of Goderich, also- delivered vig- orous and telling addresses. Rev- ?,Jr. McGillivray also made a few appropriate - and sensible rernarks. At the close the fragments of the feast were aluctioned off by Mr. D. Cumming, who found ready bidders for the good thins, Al parties had a jovial time, and departed for their homes well pleased. The pro- ceeds amounted to $33. siformig'illwarssonsgameammemil NINETEENTH • WIEOLIE NUMB —AT THE Ohe4p 'Cash SEiJ 1 AirDeparin compfete with Some reqvet!: in Dikess Goods M Ulster Cloths, Cotton, et& inspection soZicied at the - Cheap Cash —OF— ifardtao's Block, Sel —It4iala Agent Domicil Arthur, has just received e. of produce from the Indium This is the first of the sett the.
