Will Make Improvements In Agricultural Park Ft; would appear that our agricultural agricultural 'Society are making the strongest strongest bid of any fair in the county f'o-r a county fair in Orono. Recently they bought Doctor McCulloch's pasture field which will square up th-e présent fair grounds and it is understood will soon be busy bujiiing a half mile race track and will tear down the, old grandstand ■ and build a new one. It is apparent that 'the Durham Central Agricultural 'Society holds one of the best annual fairs in the province -and the management are to be congratulated for their business ability to always pay the prize money offered in full, reduce their debt each year, and at the same time put on a bigger and better fair. With a modern 1 2-mile, race track and grandstand the fair will event ually have some of the best harness horse races at fairs held (anywhere. Heretofore good race horse owners have refused to race at Orono Flair on account, off the small race .track, but with a larger track the fair will attract the'same high -quality horse racing as it -does in. all other .agricultural .agricultural exhibits. - , ' As an added attraction to the fair the Orono Agricultural: Improvement Club have decided to 'give away a new automobile to the holder of the lucky dance ticket -on fair day. The -car can be seen on display on Orono Main- Street and the Club have made them'selves a committee to sell as m'any chancels on the car as they can between now and fair day with the idea of making some extfa money for a bigger and better fair. • Harris,- lead-off T)avey safe on to promote to make Orono "A Good Plaice to Live." (Continued On page eight) Stirring Sermon Sunday At Park Street United Church A stirring sermon was preached by Rev. J. II. Osterhout in Park -St. United Church on "The Cross of Christ". As, you look upon the Cross- of Christ, said -the minister, what do you see ? a (culprit paying the penalty penalty for his sin, a martyr dying for a principle, or the divine Saviour of the world dying willingly and gladly for the sins of the -humanity to open up a way whereby man might find his way back to God. What asked the minister did Jesus, see from His cross? -and; he answered!, a callous' world, ani unuhelieving church; a few who sjaw in Him the Divine Son of God and. a little company company of loyal souls, His friends who were anxious to- share with him the fellowship of his sufferings. He saw in a backward look the creation, the fall and ' expulsion from Eden and the promise of a redeemer» He saw in a former look His deqth, resurrec tion, ascension, the coming of ti Holy (Spirit and the founding of ti Christian Church. -In an upwai look He saw the bearers open, ar the vast throngs of -the rédeem-i gathering from the east, west, non and south to- spend eternity with Gc around His- eternal throne. He saw in the thieves crucifie with Him, one on either side, eat one of ns. On the left a sinner grot ing harder every hour, no appeal f< mericy and pardon, a lost soul. O 'the right -a man -saying, Lord, r member me where Thou comest -uni Thy Kingdom and -hearing the Mu ter say, verily T say ur.ro yon tods thou shnl r be with, me in paradise , Atl this service a fine duet was rei dered by Kathleen (Stark and Mryt (Smith.
