In testifying on his own hehalf Mr, McLellan the man who built the house, stated he sold the building to Fawcett for $4,000 a price which other build- ers claimed was quite reasonable, Fe admitted there were a few things the matter and these he said he offered, along with any other improvements that Fawcett might want, to repair. It was only after Fawcett's wages had been taken up that the house did not suit, C. C. Stonehouse, local architect and authority on Oshawa homes, stated the house was worth $4,000, He stated however that for the money there were certain defects that needed improving, Among these was floor repairs and proper attic requirements, Neil: Fraser of A.

The building itself was not damaged. The home of Thomas Handford, Connaught street, was struck by lightning ahout 8,15 o'clock, The bolt struck the chimney, blew out the telephone fuse, came into the house and down the stove pipes, cracked a heam in the ceiling, and made its way to the ground, via a water pipe, to which the telephone is connected, Mr, and Mrs. Hand- ford were hoth at home at the time and were given quite a severe fright, Cellars Flooded Rain came down in torrents and | the flood was so great that in many places the water conld not get away into the grates and this caua- ed the flooding of many cellars, Several of the street corners looked like minature lakes, and autoists fravelling thé streets during the storm had an exciting time, A num- ber of citizens who left their cars ott in the storm had some trouble | getting them to operate, the down- pour of rain being so heavy as to penetrate into the engines, Old residents of the city that for lightning and thunder it was one of the worst storms they} ever experienced, and the fact that! the storm lasted so long, added toj the discomfort. * { A Princess street barber said that he was about half through) shaving a man he had in the chair, | when his lighfs went out, but that he took a chance and finished the | job in the dark.

It was supplied from the Kingston Mills power plant. Although the Bell Telephone Company suffered as a result of the storm, the two local telegraph of- fices, the Canadian National and C, P. R., reported no damage, and stated that business had been car- ried on as usual. The Bell Téléphone Company had five hundred cases to deal with as a result of the storm, but by work- ing a staff Saturday night. all day Sunday and Sunday night, every thing was cleared up and the line Monday afternoon. Lightning struck a telephone cable at the corner of Division and Prin- cess street and played havoe with the system in that district. ! Carried Away Pole 1 One of the most remarkable fea- tures of the storm locally was that a portion of the aerial post on top of the Canada Radio Stores which | was struck, was carried a distance! of over 150 feet, finally settling, | afer passing Over the street and | the roofs of a store on the other side of the street, in a yard.

The light plant at Odessa was put out of business during the' storm on Saturday night amd the; telephones were also put out of service, The lightning played all kinds of pranks but no serious dam- age is reported. Residents around Sumbury state that the fall of rain in that distriet wad very light and that the 'elec- irical display was not at all of a serious nature.

The track has been prepared during the past few days and is in excellent shape at the present time. While the weather is threatening, if rain holds off there should be some fairly good times made but of course if the track gets wet these will be lowered considerably. In any event, the "mud horses" will be able to run rain or shine, good list of events = for these "trials of. speed" has been prepared TODS and will be made public on a separate program obtainable at the track. The South Ontario Agricultural Society has offered cash prizes amounting to up- wards of $1,300. The program is com- plete in every. respect as far as the paces and trots are concerned, « That a farge crowd will witness the trials of speed" is evident by the fact that the events are taking place on practigally two week-end Friday and Saturday, and many pérsons, who could not aftend, if they were held earlier in the week, will bé present. Another feature that tends to show a good attendance is the fact that there are no other sporting attractions of this nature being held in this dis- trict on these two days. Good horses have been entered and as the case has been in the past few years, the fans can expect 'that the drivers will give their best, "I wonder why the girls don't like Bill?
