The first heat was a fast oue, Billy never showed to better advantage, he glided over the ico like a shadow from the word "go" and came in a handsome first.

Reach Council. Pursuant to statute the council elect of the township of Reach met at Town Hall on Monday, 19th iust at 11 a, m. The Clerk of the wmicipality took the chair when the members elect took the necessary declam. tions of office and were declared the Council of the township of Reach for the current year. The Reeve then taking the chair addressed the council. He said he was much pleased at again meeting all the members of the old council at the council board for an- other year, asa council it had been their united aim in the past to discharge their duties faithfully and fearlessly seeking to {do justice alike to all parts of the municia pity. + Daring the past year business had en conducted ina fair and honorable before the council on be« "petitisn of J 2 rine for hat. | setition of M Weir nt aid for one Mr Holman: S Joseph fa and others ng. for widow Walker.

R. Sommerville is to pays $50 for the portion he holds, The money is to be paid to the treasurer of the corporation and as seon as it is paid the parties can claim. their deeds, The Clerk now stated to the Conncil that of the &2,000 provided by the Council of last year to meet the payment of four Rail- way Debentures expected to fall due and payable atthe close of the year, $1,000 was still iu the hands of the treasurvr, as two debentures expected to fall due at the close of the year had been paid off some years ago ro that only two debentures or £1,000 fell due ut the close of the year, and hence the other $1 000 was not required atthis time. This may require a word of explanation, Our readers will remember that in 1868, the township passed a by-law granting aid to the Whitby and P. P. Rails way to the extent of $30,000, Also $10, 000 for the branch milway from Port Perry to Uxbridge, making in all $10,000 for rail-- way purposes, This war divided into 80 debentures of $500 each, four of which with interest shonld become dne and payable each year, commencing in 1869, and till the whole is paid. The township went on pay~ ing for the main line and collecting for the branch which latter did not go on, and when the Company let their charter for the branch lapse, the township Council had the buanch by-law quashed and the money which had been collected on it reverted to the town- ship funds, the whole amounting to about $6,000. The late Mr, Gordon was reeve at the time and Mr. Currie treasurer, The township Council decided to invest this surplus in the purchase of twelve of their own debentures, and bought up debentures Nos, 41, 44, 45, 46, 47, 48, 49, 50, 51, 52, 53 and 54, ¢ e. twelve debentures at $500 in all $6,000. It had heen supposed vome way or other that it was the twelve deben- tures falling last due that had been bought up, and had that been the case there would have been debentures Nos. 41, 42, 43, 44 45, 46, 47 and 48 till to pay, the first four last year and the second four this year, Provision was made fo paying off 41, 42, 43 and 44 last year but it was found that 42 and 43 had been already paid and also 46, 46, 47 and 48, those falling due next year have been paid and that the Inst six debentures now remain unpaid, that is $3,000 we have got pay, but of this there is $1,000 on hand. After reading the communications the council adjourned for dinner, Council resumed, P. Marnon came before the council claiming $3 for wood supplied to one Mrs. Jones, an indigent.
