The occasion was the Library Fund dance, and a very large crowd turned out to enjoy the fun. Proceedings were opened by highly enjoyed selections_by the Port Perry Band, and the general comment was that the Band has improved greatly this year. Mr. Harold Bateman, of Oshawa, assisted with the cornet, He has just returned from a two years' tour of the United States. His services were much appreciated. The Adanac¢ Orchestra supplied the music for the round dancing and the Scugog fiddlers for the square danc- ing" with William Nichols" of "Green bank,. at "the piano. This quartette was ably assisted by Mr. Dave Pren- tice who called off. To us that "Call- hing off" was a wonder. How in the world a man could keep that up for an hour or so is hard to know. How- ever, there was.lots.of fresh air, and his lungs and ~oice were thoroughly equal to the task. He did the job well, There seems to.be more fun to square dancing. People stayed to see that who had no interest in" the early part of the program, A feature that caused no end of merriment was the fortune telling tent, where "Madam Sylvia" fortold the destinies of all who paid a quarter, The "barker" in front of tent was a great success'and drew much trade. The' tent was well "patronized, : 2 > Squeakers, balloons, and toy par- rots sold well, and the girls and boys who undertook this work enjoyed themselves thoroughly. : Altogether the ¢fowd spent a most enjoyable evening, and the financial results were good, the total receipts being-in the neighborhood of $140.00, ween} 0) (ftps.

The Meighen Government is defeated. Out of the uncertain- ties of thedncomplete election returns on going to press, that fact is apparent. Mackenzie King will form a new Liberal Adminis- tration. With 112 seats out of 232 definitely in the Liberal col- nmu, there*is hope for the stable government so earnestly de- sired. The Conservatives at this time can only count on 87 seats while more than thirty additional seats had gone to fusion can- didates--U.F.A.'s, Laborites, and Independents--normally allies of the Liberals. A factor to be considered in weighing up. probable party strength from the election results is that there are a number of Liberal-Progressives,' endorsed by both parties, elected. If a Liberal Government can count upon their support in its calcula- tions for a working majority, a Liberal majority over 'all others may be effected. At least four Meighen Cabinet Ministers went down to defeat. They were Hon. Donald Sutherland, South Oxford; Hon. Andre Fauteux, Solicitor-General, in Bagot; Hon. E. L.

STAN DARD BANK PORT PERRY BRANCH BY 3p He chioson; Manager Branches also at Blackstock, Little Britain, Nestleton Station, Sunderland a ee gr grog A nn Our Own Fair at Port Perry Last week a description was given of some of the glories of the Canadian National Exhibition. Do you know how that great Fair was built up until it stands to-day as the greatest annual Fair in the World? It was by the loyal persistent effort of To- ronto citizens assisted by outstanding men throughout the coun- try. These men saw the splendid educational value of the Fair, and thought it worth while. That they have had their troubles and discouragements goes without saying; but they stuck to it; they ventured big things; and they had the whole-hearted sup- port of the people of Toronto. That city has been proud of its Fair. And yet the great Canadian National Exhibition would have been a failure had it not been for the education and inspiration of the small country fair. That's where the whole thing starts. That where the young fellows learn to fit their products for ex- hibition. And it might be remarked that in no place is the value of good example so great as right at our own door. It is the backward citizen that needs inspiring; and the back- ward citizen does not see the glories of Toronto Exhibition; and if he did, he would feel that all that was befre him was quite out of his reach. But when his own neighbours exhibit their best products, and come home with red tickets and ribbons, or the Bank of Commerce Cup, then he feels perhaps he can take a try at it. And once tha man takes an interest ip his work, life is renewed and happier; and he becomes an asset to the community instead of a possible liability. How Can We Win? We do not hope to compete with Toronto Exhibition; but: we can all turn in and help to make our Fair the best Country Fair in the Province. And, remember, those who do not help have no right to merely find fault. The Directorate will always welcome helpful suggestions, and will, if possible, put them into operation. But the best way to help is to get right on the job, and say-- "What can I do to help you?" Maggie and Jiggs This year one of our citizens suggested that we introduce "Maggie and Jiggs" at the Fair, and he backed up his suggestion by offering a handsome prize to give zest to the sport that "Mag- gie and Jiggs" will afford. You May Win $10.00 in Gold Another citizen concefved the happy idea of giving away a ten dollar gold piece to the holder of a lucky number that will be given to you with you rticket when you enter the grounds. That numbeéf will bé in duplicate. The first thing you had better do is go and hunt up Geo. Jackson's washing machine which will be somewhere in one of the tents or thereabouts, tear your slip in two so that you have one number yourself and deposit the other number in the washing machine. Don't lose your own number for it may be worth $10.00 to you. About ten minutes to five that washing machine will be brought out in front of the Grand Stand, the numbers will be thoroughly stirred up, and then one will be drawn from the lot. Whoever holds the number drawn will receive the $10.00 gold piece. This is not a lottery for you pay nothing for your number. It is a bit of good fortune for some person who attends the Fair. Several Special Prizes As usual the Canadian Bank of Commerce is offering a silver cup for competition at the Fair, and a very handsome cup it is. This year it will be given for the best pair of bacon hogs. Then the Massey-Harris Company are giving an order for ten dollars' worth of goods. This prize is to be put up for an interesting event--a go-as-you-please farmers' race once round | the track for teams or single horses to four-wheeled vehicles. The horse can run, pace, trot or go at any other gait, the main thing is to get there. and get there fast. There should be a lot of fun in this race. ? The Regular Races Of course there will also be the regular races; and we hear that there are some good outside horses likely to come. Other Specials There are other specials including those offered by Mr. F. A. | Kent for flowers; Mr. Farmer for fancy work; Mr. Collacutt for horses; and the Robt. Simpson Company for. butter...
