R. Blow and His Son Tell "11 of Interesting Tour -- <+ {By Staff Reporter) Whitby, Sept. 11.--E. R. Hlow, Brock street south, and his son, Jack Blow, have returned follow=- ing a wonderful trip which lasted a month through western Canada to the' coast. Mr. Blow attended the convention of the Supreme Lodge of the Sons of England held in Vancouver recently, representing the local lodge, Sussex No. 5; at the eonvention which lasted from Aug, the 13th to Aug. the 17. Fol- lowing the convention Mr, Blow end his son visited many of the beauty spots in B.C. including Victoria, Westminster and Prince | Rupert, Both were loud in their praises of the 'beauty of the towns and cities of the western province and were impressed by the magnifi- cent grandeur of the Rockies, It was the fifth trip through the Rockies for Mr. Blow and he has expressed 'himself as being more fascinated with the beauty of the mountains at each trip. From Van- couver to Prince Rupert the trip was made along the coast by boat and this trip was exceedingly fas- cinating. While in British Columbia they called on a number fo people at one time residents of Whitby including John Burns and his daughter, Mrs, Crawford and Mrs, Thompson and son, Mr. Wm. Brown and daughter and Mrs. P. Brad- bury. Many Places Visited On the way home many cities and towns were visited 'and in- cluded Jasper Park, Edmonton. Lashbourne, Maidstone, and Needleburg, Moose Jaw, Regina, end Winnipeg. At Lashbourne, Sask., Mr. Blow's niece was called on, Mrs (Dr.) Mroan and alco Mrs, John Thompson at Maidstone, Sask. Mrs. Thompson is a daughter of Mrs. James McLelland and well known in Whitby. In Saskatchewan Mrs. Robert Plaskett's daughter was called on whose husband is the owner of a large ranch. In Winnipeg a few days were spent with Mr, 'Ernest A, Blow, a brother of Mr,;Blow's and who is connect- ed with the publicity department *of the C.N.R., amd who is well y known in. Whitby. In connection with the (trip through the prairie provinces both Mr. Blow and his son made it their business to talk with many of (the farmers on the outlook for the crop and were quite surprised to find that the farmers in most sec- tions were quite optimistic over the present crop. In many of the western cities it was their opinion that they had been laid out with greater care and with a more def- inite plan than the cities of the East, and were surprised to find that large areas had been set aside for parks in many of the towns and cities. A number -f these, it was claimed, 'were more beautiful and put to shame many of the parks found in the average cities and towns in Ontario. At Tort William, Mr. Byron Huggart, formerly of Whitby, was called on and from Port Arthur they travelled by boat to Port M=:- | Nicol and thence to Whithy.

OSHAWA FAIR OPENED TODAY (Continued from page 1) record of the finest of live stock from the whole district is assembled. Judg- ing of thesc is starting this after- noon, and, judging from the large classes which will pass before them, theirs will be no easy task. Fine Poultry Show In the poultry department, 100, there is an excellent showing. The poultry building was well filled last night, and the noise and clamor of the hundreds of birds, of every con- ceivdble type and breed, could be heard all over the grounds, The South Ontario district has a wide reputa- tion for the high type of its poultry, and the splendid specimens which are to be found in the pens arc of such a quality as to be of a strong educational value, Fruits and Vegetables The main building, containing the exhibits of fruit, flowers, vegetables and grain, the products of the orch- ard, the field and the garden, pre- sented a magnificent appearance when the doors were thrown open to the public today, The exhibitors werc not satisfied with merely bringing in their products. They vied with cach other in their efforts to arrange them so as to produce a beautiful and ef- fective 'display, calculated to delight the eye of the onlooker. In all the classes in this department of the Fair, the exhibitors had done well, and pre- sented a showing of the highest mer- it. 7 Women's Building The women's building at the Fail Fair was the centre of attraction to- day insofar as the women attending the Fair were concerned. During the entire forenoon and for a short time in the afternoon the judges were busy assigning the various prizes. When the door was thrown open to the public the building was entirely filled. It was the general opinion among the spectators and judges that the utspiays were unusually superior this year and the number of entrants exceptionally large, The braided and hooked rings attracted a large nuin- ber and received complimentary ex- clamations, These, with handmade bedrom slippers, were arranged im- mediately inside the north door to the left. The work submitted by * la- dies over seventy years of age was exceptional, as was the children's work. The fine needlework, such as crocheting, embroidery, and tatting was displayed on the north wail, while excellent afghans, crazy quilts and shawls occupied the south wall. Fine arts, oil paintings, etchings and water colors were shawn at the west end of the building, in addition to penmanship, reed work, hand painted china and children's work. The centre section of the building was devoted to embroidered bed spreads and other bedroom furnish- ings, the elderly ladies' work and miscellaneous pieces of embroidery. The judges were confronted with a difficult situation and when three winners in each class were declared it was after a great deal of consid- eration on the part of every lady judge. The names of the prize win- ners will be given in The Times to- morrow. Out in the grounds, the miniature tented city presented a busy appear- ance, The merchants of Oshawa, and several of the manufacturers, have rallied to the support of the Fair as never before, in the endeavor to make 1929 a banner year, and the result of their efforts is to be seen in the splendid array of tasteful and interesting exhibits which has been presented, and which is described more fully elsewhere in this issue of The Times. The entertainment features, too, arc well taken care of by the fine array of features brought here by the Boyd Sullivan Shows, The ferris-wheel, merry-go-round, chair-o-plane and caterpillar devices early attracted the attention of both young and old folks, while the many side-shows 'were also receiving their share of patronage from the crowd.

S. Kyle, the president, and C. P. Davis, the secretary. Yet they stopped in their labors to voice their apprecia- tion of the splendid co-operation thcy had received from the exhibi- tors, and to 'express the feeling that, with another day of good weather on Thursday, the 1929 Oshawa Fair would surpass all previous records.

HERBERT MORTLOCK WHIZ TEAM GOES AHEAD IN SERIE Took Third of Champion- ship Games From Good years by 15 to. 8 (By Staff Reporter) Bowmanville, Sept. 11.--Some local softball fans imagined that the Whiz team's win on Monday night was a fluke, but it evidently was not, for they repeated the vic- tory over the Goodyear again last night, beating them with a score of fifteen to eight, and it mignt have been worse than'that had they played the full nine innings. As the Goodyear were superior in their three consecutive wins, so were the Whiz in their last two games. The Whiz played a better style of ball last evening than their opponents with harder hitting and finer field- ing. The winners piled up six rung in the first time at the plate and five in the fifth, with the others scattered through the other inn- ings. Goodyear done some nice catching at times, but evidently lost heart when the Whiz began piling them so fast. Falls, a new player with Goodyear, scored a home run as did Geo. Piper and Fred Cole, of the Whiz. Cordon, who hurt his wrist in the game on Monday, was unable to play last night and his place was taken by Knight. The last named is real all-round ball player and should have been played all season. He has played in several games and has acquitted himself well. He is a hard hitter and very seldom misses a catch, which two things go a long way in making a ball player. A word should also be said of Rovan's fine pitching. In the opinion of a great many. he pitched hig best game of the sum- mer. The teams took the field in this order: Whiz--Buck Large, 1b; Russ Brown, 2b; Dub Piper, 3b; Gordon Cowle, ¢; Dick Rovan, p; George Piper, ss; Cecil Mutton, rf; Jack Knight, cf; Fred Cole, If. Goodyear--Eric Colwell, 1b; Falls, 2b; N. Jackman, 3b; McMur- ter, c; Bert Colwell, p; Roach, ss; John Moorcraft, rf; Murphy, cf; McKnight, If, : Umpires--Earl Cunningham, F. Williams and W. Crossey.
