By proclamu- tion, the mayor, C. Ii. Willis, declared it a public holiday, and all places of business were closed so that the em- ployees might take part in the ex- {ensive golden jubilee celebrations. ~The main street took on the appear- "ance of a gay carnival with posts and bedecked in corn and grain stalks, as a calithumpian parade with gaily decorated floats and queer models of transportations vie for In the morning a reception was held at the for old-time and former The mayor and members public memorial residents. come and cordiality. > In the afternoon a ball game was staged between the members of the Uxbridge Baseball team and the old boys, which was witnessed by a large crowd of enthusiastic citizens in Elgin Park. A number of field events were staged in the high school grounds by both boy and girl students, On Tuesday night an old fashioned dance was thoroughly enjoyed by old and young alike, while the dramatic club staged a concert in the Town Hall, Many of the town's residents can well recall when Uxbridge was still a village and the main street was clut abouts, which have long since been replaced by the modern, automobile. Xhat was in the days when the village boasted a saw-mill, a woollen factory, . Sept. flour and oatmeal mills which are no more, pad At the junction of Brock, Scott, } Uxbridge and Reach Townships, the Town first developed from the trade stimulated by farmers from the sur-, i+| runding country, who brought in their grain and field crops to be shipped '| to distant points, The district is still famous for its quality of potatoes which have fed Ontario's urban fam- ilies for almost a century. Two streams, which flow through the town, supplied électricity for the community more than three decades ago, while other similar towns were still using the old-fashioned lamp. Uxbridge was one of the first towns in Canada to develop its own elec- tricity. 2 Perhaps one of the most prominent personages in the history of Uxbridge was Joseph Gould, who, according to legend, was the second white person to be*born in this district. He was born on the 6th concession of Ux- bridge Township, in 1818. He was the first reeve of the village and shis son, I. J. Gould, was reeve for seven terms. The father and his three sons, Isaac, Harvey and Charles, were ail wardens of Ontario" County.

In the final Uxbridge batters got 4 hemers and 1 triple, while Port Perry got 1 homer and a triple. \ EE Ve NEW SHERIFF FOR: ONTARIO COUNTY.
