C. Hawia CLOTffll i% AND ROtXSE VIINNISMIg W. G. NICHOLSON It has been pleasing and encourag- ing to the Board of Wingham Hos- pital to note the interest manifest in the success of the enterprise by rural communities, In many instances, this interest has been shown in a practical way, and the treasury of the institution has been benefitted. To the people of Belgrave and ad- jacent sections of Morris and Wawa - nosh, however, belongs the honor of the most successful effort made so far. When the project was first suggested, action quickly followed, and a large and influential committee was formed. We could not, learn all the names, but among the workers were -W. G. Nic- holson, John Clegg, W, Watson, Jno. Scandrett, Alex. Porterfield, W. K. Whaley, Dr. Hamilton, J. A. Bran- don, T. S. Brandon, Rev. J. I. Lauren - dean, Geo, Taylor, Duncan McCallum, T. Hill, D. Allison and others. T. S. Brandon was chosen Chairman of the committee, D. Allison, Secretary, and preparations began, The spacious lawn of W. G. Nichol- son, 1?, miles east of Belgrave, was chosen as the place, and the date fixed for July 4th. The effort was grandly successful, and it was evident that the object appealed strongly to the good -will of the inhabitants of the surrounding country. Early in the afternoon, the crowd began to arrive, and by five o'clock several hundred people were on the grounds. Until nine p.m, they continued to pour in, and the lanes, barnyard and roadside were thronged with hundreds of vehicles, and fully 1800 people were enjoying the occa- sion. At 8.15, a special train from Wingham brought others, on pleasure bent. In the afternoon, there were two baseball matches. The first, between Belgrave and Blyth juniors was won by the former ; score, 13 to 8. The second, between Wingham and Blyth teams was won by Blyth ; score, 10-7. At 5,15, the supper bell rang, and until after nine o'clock, the tables were neither lonely nor deserted. By six o'clock, Wingham. Citizens' Band had arrived, and their excellent music contributed in no small degree . to the pleasure of the evening, Soon after eight o'clock, Rev. J. J. Hastie was called to the chair, and the program began. It proved very'. interesting, and included Chairman's address, vocal music by Wingham and Brussels quartettes, instrumental by Miss Hazel Brandon, selections by the Band, addresses by Jas. Bowman, W. H. Kerr, Father Lanrendeau, Dr. Chisholm and Dr. Macdonald. The majority seemed to be more interested in music and social enjoyment, hence most of the speakers (very wisely) made their addresses brief. No one worked harder than Mr. Nicholson himself. I e was here, yonder, everywhere, endeavoring to rind room for horses, vehicles, etc., busy all the time, as jolly as St. Nic- holas, with a smile and welcome for all. Good entertainer is W. G. Nic- holson. A. most delightful evening was spent ; about 11 p. in., the special train was due to leave for Wingham, and soon after, the most successful effort in aid of a worthy institution had passed, leaving many pleasant recollections behind it. The latest obtainable report of the receipts give the total at $500.00. GARDEN PARTY NOTES. The quartettes sang nicely. Well done Belgrave and vicinity. Spacious lawn, and a "boss" enter- tainer. Ideal weather ; receipts very satis- factory. The tent, under W. K. Whaley's supervision, did a good business. Between two hundred and fifty and three hundred vehicles thronged the yard and roadside. Wingham Quartette consisted of - Misses Estelle Griffin and Olive Mason, Messrs. Geo, Cline and F. J. Hill. Where, oh where were the host of young lady waiters? All honor to the few who bore the burden of the work, Ex -Warden Jas, Bowman is a pleas. ing speaker and was listened to atten- tively. The Legislature would be the better for a few more honest farmers, that can express their ideas as well as Bowman. W. G. is certainly a huge success at Garden Parties, and ought to be a success in married life. Why is he still a bachelor i Ah, that's a poser. Are the young ladies of Morris doing their duty. Doesn't look right some- how. Dr. Chisholm seemed to enjoy him- self, and scores of people were pleased to meet the popular member for East Huron. To have to speak at garden parties appears to be part of the pen- alty for being a politician, but Dr. Chisholm can do it nicely. Warden Currie was there overflow- ing with geniality. Shouldn't won- der if he had a very pretty little speech bottled up, but he wasn't asked to take the cork out. The Warden has taken a lively interest in the Hos- pital ; in fact, in all that concerns Wingham's welfare. Bro. W. H. Kerr was there, with his election eye open, and he too speaks fluently. It must be hard work to canvass for the honor of rep- resenting East Huron in the Legisla- ture, if that is the cause of our genial friend of the Brussels Post getting so grey -headed. • Besides, the worst is to come; just wait Bro. Kerr until you have kissed all the babies in East Huron, and shaken hands 875,909 times, 'Tis said, Arch. Hyslop, M. L. A., was there, but left before the speak- ing began. It is rumored that he is "bashful," and while he does not k` to a ob- jecttalking rug to an audience of faith- ful Grit voters about the awful iniqui- ties of the Tories, he does draw the line at a big audience of sweet-faced, bewitching young ladies ; it is too much to expect of him. Hence he slid a liberal fee upon the plate (would take no change) and "slippit awa' hame." Belgrave. Clearing Auction Sale On Monday next, At L. J. Williams' ; see bills.
