hIulron Old Boys' Excursion,
The annual excursion of the Toronto
Association of Huron Old Boys on
Saturday
last was very successful, and
hundreds availed themselves of the
opportunity of visiting the old home
county. One train had Wingham for
its destination, the other Goderich.
It is estimated that 1,700 left Toronto
on the Goderich train, and 1,400 on
the Wingham train. As they neared
their old homes, many of the excur-
sionists dropped off at the intervening
stations, so that when Wingham and
Goderich were reached the numbers
were largely ditninshed. Notwith-
standing a hot and dusty ride, the ex-
cursionists reached Wingham in good
spirits, though over an hour late, and
as the dinner .hour was past many
sought refreshments at once, instead
of going to the reception in the Town
Hall. The Old Boys (and Girls too)
were met at the station by the Town
Council and the Citizens' Band.
On arriving at the Town Hall, an
address of welcome was read by Town
Clerk
Ferguson,tson, and d the visitors tors were
welcomed also in brief addresses by
Mayor Holmes, Reeve Irwin and Coun.
Gordon. The President, J, R. Lyons,
W. E. Groves, Dr. Stanbury, J. Mc-
Kinnon, E. Floody, J. S. Timmins and
others, all expressed themselves de-
lighted at the progress of our town
and the cordiality of the reception
tendered them.
In the afternoon, a programme of
sports, that had been arranged for the
visitors, was much enjoyed. The
Baseball match between Winghatn
and Kincardine was won by Wing -
ham on a score of 14 to 2. There were
also foot races and Highland piping
and dancing, Conn. McDonald enter-
taining them with the bagpipes. The
prizes were :—
Girls' race -1st, Fannie Holmes;
2nd, Olive Knox ; 3rd, Jennie Staple-
ton. Bandsmen's race -1st, E. Flem-
ing; 2nd, II. Trout; 3rd, Alex. Bird.
Fat Men's race—lst, Dr. H. E. W.
Tamlyn ; 2nd, R. F. White. Highland
Dancing -1st, Flora and Mabel Mc-
Donald ; 2nd, Verna McDonald ; 3rd,
A. Ross.
The visitors thoroughly enjoyed the
day, and towards evening they found
their way to scores of homes, Where
their home -coming was welcomed by
relatives and friends.
The Old Boys will not soon forget
the hearty reception tendered them
by the Town and citizens of Wingham,
and the outing of 1907 has been mark-
ed down as one of the best. "The re-
ception was never excelled ; the best
we ever had," was the testimony of
many.
The excursion returned on Monday
evening, arriving in Toronto shortly
after midnight,
Many of the excursionists visited
the High School and Hospital. To
some of them, the progress Wing -
ham is making was astonishing.

Lucknow vs. Wingham.
The Lakeside League Baseball match
on Friday last, between Lucknow and
Wingham, was rather one-sided to be
interesting. Lucknow did not develop
the increase of strength expected, and
played a very tame game. In fact,
Wingham walked right away from
them to the tune of a score of 24 to 4.
Batteries — Wingham, Dunlop and
Britton ; Lucknow, Brislan and Mc:

Business Change.
The Ayton man, who arranged to
purchase Leslie Constable's tonsorial
business did not carry out his bargain.
Mr. Hewar bought it, and took pos-
session on Friday last. He will be
pleased to have his north end custom-
ers call on him in his new stand, next
to Griffin's. grocery. The stand is a
good one, the shop is fitted up nicely,
and Mr. Hewar is very attentive
and obliging, so that he should do
well in his new location.

John Wells Still Lives.
A few weeks ago, a report was cir-
culated here that John 'Wells (former-
ly of Lower Town) had fallen on a cir-
cular saw and had been killed. The
Advance is pleased to learn that the
report has no foundation. His sister,
Mrs. D. IV. Allenby, writes that no
accident has occurred, and all are
well. They report enjoying life in
Florida, but still remember the old
home. The Advance is as welcome
a visitor in Florida as it is on the
veldt of South Africa, or in the mis-
sion field of the interior of China.
East Huron's Member.
The Daily Mail -Empire has this to
say of East Huron's members in the
Commons :—"Good candidates are be-
ing named by the'ouservative con-
vention, and Dr. Chisholm of East
Huron, is one of the best. Dr. Chis-
holm is a cultured gentleman, and a
splendid member of Parliament.
When he addresses the House he al-
ways says something good, and what
he says is well put and eloquently de-
Iivered. Moreover, Dr. Chisholm is
an earnest advocate of the interests of
the farmers. He stands for all the
facilities that can be afforded the agri-
cultural community. Another term
in the House of Commons will certain-
ly be accorded this worthy public
man."

on Tuesday evening. The Principal's

Marked Improvement.
Six new stores on Josephine street
this summer will make a great im-
provement in the appearance of our
town, provided they all find tenants,
and no doubt they will. Six new
stores (probably a new Bank) and
about twenty-five or thirty residences
will make 1007 a record year for build-
ing operations in Wingham. The
brick -work on Hanna's store is coin-
pleted, McKenzie's and Wilson's aro
both well advanced ; all should be
completed by the early fall months.
The Canada Furniture Mfrs. are mak-
inn
considerable improvements also.
The two boilers .ts m file3e 1

the one in Lower Town, had charge of
the erection of this also, Sanitary
arrangements have been completed by
the addition of closets, supplied with
the Town water. Walker & Clegg
find It necessary to enlarge their fac-
tory ;

sion anti employment to more men.

Not The Right Way. Nasty Accident.
Mr. R. ,1', Tindall and some friends
had an experience recently in meeting
and passing a large covered automo-
bile from a distance, ace In meeting it
they had considerable difficulty with
their horses ; later on when the auto.
passed them, the danger was repeated.
To make matters worse, those in the
auto„ when they saw the difficulty
with the horses, never even stopped,
but jeered and laughed, and waving
their hands, passed on. There was
nothing smart in such a trick as that;
any guy could act in that way. The
gentlemanly way would have been to
have stopped until the horses attached
to the buggies were secure, especially
when one of the horses was driven by
a lady. Wingham autotnobilists never
act that way, but recognize the rights
of others.
China Wedding.
On Saturday last, a happy company
assembled at Conn. McDonald's to
celebrate with him and his good lady,
the
twentieth th aanive a
ary of their
wedding day. On July 6th, I887, at
St, Helens, Mr. David McDonald and
Miss Annie Todd were united in the
bonds of matrimony. Among the
many guests who gathered to con-
gratulate them on having safely pass-
ed through the toils and cares of
twenty years, were the following
from a distance :—Mr. and Mrs. Crowe
and daughter, of Toronto, Mrs. Hall,
D1 Tans
ley and Mrs. Tan.l
oy of Newmarket,
Mr. and Miss Misner of Windsor, Mr.
and Mrs. Collins of Kincardine, Mr.
and Mrs. Thompson of Sault Ste
Marie. The afternoon and evening
were enjoyably spent, the guests wish-
ing Mr, and Mrs. McDonaId very
many happy years together. Many
handsome presents both appropriate
and useful, were evidences of respect
and esteem. The Advance hopes that
many happy years are yet in store for
Mr. and Mrs. McDonidd and their
family.
MONDAY Am•'TERNooN.—The Barbers
of town have decided to close their
shops on Monday afternoons until the
end of September.
Why Not Here ?
In School Section No. 11, Artemesia
(near Markdale) there was recently
erected and unveiled a handsome
monument to the pioneers who went
into the bush, and blazed their path-
ways from the older settlements.
These noble men and women are near-
ly all gone, and it was fitting that a
beautiful monument should be reared
to their memory. It should be done
in every township. The editor of this
paper is familiar with many of the
names inscribed upon the momument
referred to, and some of their children
passed through classes under his care.
Speaking of the Schools, however, re-
minds us of the remarks of Chairman
Boland, on Dominion Day, when the
monument was unveiled. He said :—
"This school has now been in exist-
ence for fifty years. In that time,
hundreds of pupils have passed
through its doors into the outside
world ; but of all those who have pass-
ed, not one has been the cause of the
expenditure of a single copper by
those connected with the administra-
tion of justice, because of crime com-
mitted." This is surely a creditable
record, and shows that S. S. No. 11,
was settled by a band of God-fearing
pioneers. The Home and the School
were at work upon the young minds,
it may be before the Church pushed
its way into the new settlement.
L. O. L. Attend Church.
On Sunday evening, L. O. L. No.
704, and the Orange Young Britons,
attended service in St. Paul's church.
The brethren met in their Lodge room
at 6.30, and, in company with repre-
sentatives of Bluevale, Belgrave and
Blyth lodges, marched to the church.
Bro. Rev. T. S. Boyle chose as his text
Romans 15 :4, "For whatsoever things
were t
v written aforetime, were written
for our learning, that we through pa-
tience and comfort of the Scriptures
might have hope." The Rector exten-
ded a very kindly welcome to the
brethren, and preached an appropriate
and excellent sermon. The objects of
the Orange Association were referred
to, and emphasis was laid upon the
qualifications, as set forth in the con-
stitution. '.There was still a necessity
for the existence of the Order. It ex-
isted for the defence of the Truth, but
no true Orangeman bore hatred or
was capable of persecution. The Or-
ange Order stood for liberty of con-
science to all, of whatever faith, and
was essentially a religious Order.
There was a large attendance, one
hundred brethren marching in the
ranks, On returning
tothe s,
Lodge
room, a cordial vote of thanks was
tendered Rev. T. S. Boyle for his ex-
cellent address, to the Churchwardens
for the use of the church, to the Choir,
and also to the visiting brethren for
their attendance. Brief responses fol-
lowed, and the brethren separated, to
meet July 12th at 7,120 a. tn.

Wingham Leads The League.
Wingham Baseball team is right in
for the Championship, and on Tues-
day, again defeated Teeswater by a
score of 5-1 in Teeswater. It was a
fast game, and both batteries did good
work, but once more Dunlop's pitch-
ing for Wingham did it. McCaig for
Teeswater was hard on Wiugham's
left-hand batters, but the right hand
hitters met his curves ; while all bat-
ters were alike to Dunlop. The tac-
tics of some of the players were ques-
tionable, and the spectators showed
their dislike of defeat. It was a good
game to watch, and Umpire Ross of
Kincardine, acted squarely. Bat-
teries, Teeswater--McCaig and Good ;
Wingham—Dunlop and Britton.
