J I'l.O Dominion Day In Flesherton Flesherton chinnicled another success- ful Dominion Day cHebfation on Wed- nesday of last week, although Jupiter F'lnvius tried hard to keep the crowd aw.iy. While the a<|intic sports were going on a .smart shower uf rain fell and the whole afteru-iun was threatening, though no rain actually fell, and the temperature was very comfortable. The aquatic apmt.s were tcarcely so "iici.-essful as last year, is the coldness of the water kept many competitors from joining in the fun. The greased po!e was a failure it was too greasy anil no one succeeded in capturing the Hag. The tub race was won by Harry Frost, '_Frank Thurston second. The goose was caught by A. Ball and the awiraining race was won by the same young man, with II . Crawford second. There were four com- petitors in thiii. The afternoon sports on the .-iRritul- tural grounds were witnessed by quite ft lirye crowd. The hor.se racing wis not up to very much, in fact was rather a source of disappointment, at the events were not well tilled. These resulted as follows ; 2. 40 Trot or Pace 1 Comet (.Joe Ac- fcon), 2 Sidney H. (J. Hunter), :! Darkey D. (J. Minorgan). Named Race I Roy Hunter (Thomas McCalby), 2 Maud Wilkes (8. Wright), :l Wd (C. Dulrick). A baseball game was scheduled be- tween Mavkdale and Dnndalk teams for a good prize, but Duudalk only showed up about half strength and sume players had to he requisitioned here to make up the team. As a consequence Markdale had u real walk-over, winning the game by .i score of 27 to W. The football match between Fevemham and Fleshetton clubs was a good exhibi- tion of the gunie and resulted in a victory for the home team by 1 to 0. The 100-yard race was won by W. Whiicuker, wrh Mark Wilson. Jr. 2nd. The tug-of-war was captained by W. Boyd for the West arid Malcolm Mc- Donald for the Kast. The former was victorious The concert at 11114!.! . given by . com- pany of Owen Sound young people, was well patronized, and some of the talent was considered very ^ood, while tome of it was very mediocre. The order at the c mcei t was execrable, owing to the ab- sence of a chaimmn, and oue man had to be put out deforu a reasonable degree of order uould be secured.
