Johnston of the Hul- lett Agricultural Society went down to Seaforth last Friday for a confer- ence with the directors of the Tucker - , Society looking to a union of membership and finances for the Fall Exhibition. Owing to some local attrac- tion there was not a full representation of the Tuckerswith direcorate, so that nothing has as yet been officially de- cided upon, but, there seems every likelihood that an arrangement will he effected for a joint Exhibition to be held in Clinton. This will permit of a better prize list and a better drawing list of special attractions. Stavely Hall Foundation Pulled Down. The foundation of Stavely Hall has at last been pulled down and rebuilt and the contractor receives payment for the extra work thus entailed. We understand Mr. Cooper intends going ahead with the brickwork right away, but if the work could be dilly-dallied with for another twelve-rnonths and the courts and bye -elections do what is expected of them, viz., upset the Gov- ernment, this Stavely Hall project will he promptly despatched and the ten thousand dollars put to much better use. To prevent any chance of the wishes of the people being compli- ed with, the Committee may order the contractor to rush up the walls, but they should not forget that they hur- ried the foundation last fall to prevent a change of site and have since had to pull it down. Enlarge Recreation Park. President S. 8. Cooper of Hallett Agricultural Society is engaged in a praiseworthy attempt to boom that Society and extend its sphei e of useful- ness and es one of the means is trying to have the Recreation Park enlarged so as to secure a half -mile track for speeding at the Fall Fair. in or- der to do so it will be necessary to ex- tend the boundary of the Park and Mr. Fair has offered five acres adjoin- ing for five -hundred dollars. AS an- other half -thousand dollars will be necessary for additional improvements it is proposed to raise it in this way :- Town Council, $250; Celebration Geom- mittee, $250 ; Agricultural Socity $25(); Private Subscription, $250. if the sug- gested work is gone ahead it will popularize the park and help thin Agricultural Society to hold the best Fall Exhibition in the county.; Rev. Mr. Clement's Strong Choir. The choir of the Ont. St. Methodist church was thirty strong last Sunday evening, including seven tenors. Mr. Will Harland was in his old place after a few weeks' rest. Mr. R. Foster has also returned to town and his old love and sang a solo with pleasing effect, while Madame Wall's solo was render- ed in a style befitting Huron's leading vocalist. The "Has Boons" Defeat Exeter. The following lacrosse team, who called themselves "Has Beens" be- cause some of them had not touched a stick for two or more seasons, defeated Exeter by 5 goals to blank last Mon- day. Percy Conch sent the hall be- tweoh the flags every time. The Clin- ton players were :-J. E. Cantelon, P. Matheson, E. Holmes, F. Emir, C. Dow- ser, R. Twitchell, W. Cantelon, W. Miller, J. Forrester, P. Couch. Tho Ladies Bxpross Thanks. The garden party held on the spac- ious grounds of Mr. H. R. Walker on Thursday evening of last week was a success financially and otherwise and the ladies of the Ont. St. Methodist church, under whose auspices it was ./held, desire to express their thanks to Mr. and Miss Walker, and also the large number who patronized the af- fair and helped to roll up the receipts to over fifty-two dollars. The Citizens Band contributed several selections, adding still further to the pleasure of the gathering. London vs. Clinton. The London bowlers came up on Tuesday 6.55 p.m's train, en route for Seaforth to take part in the tourna- ment of yesterday and to -day, and tried conclusions with the local clubs with result as given below :-- r'LTNTON.

It has been said that not one Orange- man in a thousand of the present gen- eration can whistle Ltllibulero. The Same authority has further remarked that the Order is departing from its traditions, Meaning, probably, that the tendency Is to make it more and more what is regarded as a fraternal society, rather than an institution whose sole aim and end is to safeguard the Pro- testant religion. Be that as it may, Orangeism in Huron is flourishing, if Tuesday's demonstrations are any cri- terion. Great crowds gathered at both Blyth and Hensall and the day's pro- ceedings in both places passed off plea- santly. It is said that the only woman ever admitted into the mysteries of Orange isin in Huron was Mrs. W. W. Con- nor who some years since passed be- yond the sphere of all isms. Mrs. Connor and her husband were among the pioneers of Goderich township and in the early days of the Bayfield Loclge, organized some sixty years ago, its meetings were held in their house. The homes of the pioneers did not ad- mit of more than two rooms as a rule, and because the good woman, whether she would or no, became somewhat familar with the work of the Order it was decid- ed that she should be admitted into full membership. Mrs. Connor lived many years after that and is said to have been intensely Orange in her sympathies' and animated by the spirit. of the fraternity in its truest sense. BLYTH. Blyth's preparations for the clay con- sisted of an arch here and there and bunting strung act oss the street at intervals. Flags floated from various points of vantage. while in the centre of the main street was suspended an Irish flag, a harp in a green ground. People began to pour into' town early and by mid -day --the trains were be- lated -there was probably a larger crowd in the village than ever before in its history. Locomotion was dim - cult along the main thoroughfare and the air resounded with the roll and rattle of the drums, the screech of the fifes anfl'the blare of the brass in stria meats. The wants of the inner man having been replenished, the different lodges marched in go -as -you -please order to the exhibition ground, where they were arranged in order and,after parad- ing the principal streets, returned again to the ground for the speech -making. There were twenty sets of colors in line, followed by gray -bearded mem- bers of the Order and striplinga who rode the goat less than a month since, but who saluted the emblem with just as much reverence as did their seniors.. The parade was a fine manifestation of the vigor and pro- gress of Orangeism in North Huron. 21) Including the Lady True Blues there were the following twenty lodges in the procession :- Londesboro Young Britons No. 803. Geo. Snell, Master; Thos. Miller, Sec- retary. 75 strong. Belfast No. 491). Master, Jas, Dur- nian ; Secretary, Wm. Boles. 50 strong. Enniskillen No. 153. Pilaster, A. Millian ; Secretary, Fred. Charnley. 30 strong. Walton No. 252. Master, Duncan Johnston ; Secretary, Chas. Case. 20 strong. Auburn No. 932. Master, Jas. Fae- gan ; Secretary, H. Bone, 60 in ranks. Belgrave No. 402. Master, C. Mc- Rae ; Secretary, A. Leishman. 45 strong. Mortis Lodge No. 873. Master, Jas, Casemore; Secretary, Wm. Casemore. 30 strong. Ethel No. 031. Master, Robt. Barr ; Secretary, W. Cooper. 211 strong. Sunshine No. 450. Maxtor, Jas. Russell ; Secretary, Ira Pat ker. 30 in ranks. Dungannon No. 324. Master, Robt. Damian; Secretary, Alex. Durnian. 40 in procession. Blyth No. 063. Master, Jos. Taman ; Secretary, W. Montgomery. 40 on parade. Bluevale No. 766. Master, Thos. Stewart; Secretary, E. Johnston. 35 strong. Nilo No. 1052. Master, W. Mcll- wain ; Secretary, A. P. Sheppard. 30 in ranks. No Surrender No. 317. Master, W. McIntyre; Secretary, Jas. Gibson. 20 in procession. Bluevale Young Britons No. 213. Master, Frank Higgins; Secretary, Jas. Breckenridge. 20 strong. NOTES. Some of "The Tips" of Goderich township observed the day in Blyth. Black -sashed Black Knights were in evidence in the ranks of nearly every lodge. Wingham Lodge was the stylish ono. Many of the members wore top hats and some were gloved. The Citizens Band of Clinton had been engaged by the Blyth Lodge and rendered good service during the day. The red jacket was the prevailing uniform, but the black jackets with brass buttons had a neater and nattier look. The Londesboro Young Britons turned out strong. This is one of the healthiest and most vigorous lodges in the County. Reeve Kennedy of Clinton was among the visitors, but it did not fall to his lot as three years since to occupy a car- riage with the True Blues. Brussels Lodge hacl the only fife and drum band in the procession, and it was a good One. It was about a score strong and rendered Orange music in a snappy and spirited manner. Mr. .Joseph Kearns of 710 found a handsome silk handkerchief at a de- monstration at Stratford a decade ago, and at each successive 120, takes it with him, half expecting that the own- er may turn up. Major Beck was on the gromds and seemed to know everybody. Winning or loosing "Joe" is always the same. Everybody nearly wished hint success at the scrutiny which opens at Gocie- rich in October. The Nile has been called the Family Lodge ft OM the fact that the members are nearly all connected by birth or marriage. Blcllwains, Sheppards, Fin- negans, Pentlands are numerous on the membership roll. All three Marshalls were mounted on white horses, District Marshall N. Johnston of 932, County Marshall McConimins of 063 and John Mains of 903 who is the Director of Ceremonies of the Blyth Lodge. Tho baseball match, Wingham vs. Brussels, was witnessed by several. hundred people. The sytnpathy of the crowd, which was given to razzle- dazzling the players, seemed about di- vided. Wingham won by a score of 1.0 to l:i Lady Macdonald Lodge of True Blues from Colborne did not attend as a Lodge, though a number of the mem- bers were present and wore their badges. This organization is said to be quite prosperous, and is the only one of the kind in that part of the county. The Auburn Lodge, headed by its village band, was about , the Largest in the procession, and had in its ranks a judicious sprinkling of young members. The band, fourteen strong, plays good marching music, and would do credit to a much more pretentious place than Auburn, or Manchester, call it which you will. The following were advertised to appear at it concert to be held in In- dustry Hall in the evening: --Madame Wall, Miss A. Ciibbings, James.' Fax, Bishop Neeling, W. H. Willis and Dave McGill. This was aetrong array, but the greatest of them was Madame Wall, whose solos are always heard with delight. It took Ethel Lodge five hours to reach Blyth by rail, but this included a two -hours' stop at Wingham junc- tion, much the most tedious part of the whole journey. At a demonstration a few years ago in Blyth this same Lodge won at ten -dollar prize for being the meet (Meant and the best dressed Lodge n the procession. The speaking took place from a plat- form erected on the exhibition grounds. Reeve Wilford presided and in his opening remarks made the statement tilt tt he considered the honor of being Orange County Master quite equal to that of member of Parliament and if offered a choice would hesitate be- fore making a seleeti00. The Kincardine Lodge was only ten strong because of celebrations nearer home which drew many of the mem- bers. indeed, a9 the ton and the colors passed through Ripley on their way down the people of that. place showed their displeasure' in an unmistakable manner. The order is rptite strong nL the lakeside town and Kincardine has in view a hig celebration for the next twelfth. No '3nrrender is one of the oldest Lodges in Huron, and being sil.nated between Dungannon and Auburn Lodges, both young and thriving, it bad for some time a fight for existence, Indeed, had it not been for an excep- tionally zealous Master there was a time when No Surrender would have bad to surrender its charter. But new blood fs now coming in, so it is more than holding its own, and was repre- sented in the march by a score of stalwarts, Walton Lodgeof Lady True Blues, named Lady Saunderson Lodge, in honor of the wife of Colonel Saunder- son, a North County Irishman noted for his vigorous opposition to Horne Mule, rode in the procession in carri- ages. Mrs. J. el. Grieve, the Worship- ful Mistress, elucidated the objects of their organization to souse who were not quite so Limiter with its aims as they might haye been, "We have in the town of Picton," said this good lady, "an orphans' home which we maintain for the sustenance of Pro- testant children who might otherwise drift iuto institutions to which we are strongly opposed." Mrs, Grieve's band, though chiefly consisting of married women, included among its number several pretty girls. Fern Lodge, No. 19, of \Vinghaun, was also well repre- sented: • 11ENSALI.. IL; is estimated that 7,000 people as- sembled at Hensall to do honor to the day. Deduct 1000 for optimism and there still remains a big crowd for a village demonstration. Hensall was in gala attire and had made great prepar- ations for the reception of its visitors. Flags floated everywhere and hunting was in profusion. The following lodges were present and joined in the procession :- Biddulph District -Nos. 210, .103, 010, 082, 81)0, 721, 1097, 1210, 1313. Stanley District ---Nos. 1035, 21, 308, 733. Stratford District ---Nos. 335, 918, 1450, 8.31. Hullett District -Nos, 710, 028, 893, 793. Goderich District -Nos. 189, 115, 300. Tho order of procession was :- Lady'1.'rue Blurs, Stratford District, Goderich District, Hullett District, Stanley District. An address of welcome was presented by D. Urquhart, reeve of the village, who said in part that the hospitality extended to them was but the thoughts of the villagers put into action, and that the meeting recalled an historic• past crowded with that which deserves to be gratefully remembered. C'ounty Master -Scarlett was chair man of the meeting, which had a pro- grrtuinre,of hand music, selections by the fleusall Methodist quartette .and addresses by Revs. Hodgens, McDon- agh, Mills, Kerr, and Messrs. Lewis of Bidclulph and Beek of Seaforth. The marshalls were County Master John Scarlett, W. C. Davis and Mc- Nevin. c- Neviri. The Centralia fife and drum band W01) first prize and the Summerhill hand second. The latter is but a young organization and when another year's experience has been acquired may lead the County. There were twenty-five lodges in line. In addition to the fifes and drums, and fife and drum hands there were three brass bands, Parkhill, Seaforth and Bayfield. Bayfleld's No. would indicate that it is the oldest Lodge in Huron. The Loyal True Blues 'are increasing in number. The caterers catered well. Laymen are better July 12th orators than preachers, inasmuch as they are more practical and soar less into theory. Little Locals. Mr. Sid. Smith shipped two carloads of cattle to Terotl,to yesterday.
