Bow is the time for the boys and girls' to practise this difficult feat of training a rooster to be driven. The prize money is divided into three purses of $3.00, $2.00 and $1.00. The next softball game will be played on Friday evening next be- tween Forestry and Kirby. Each team has won a game and this1 should be '»â-  good one.

'Oshawa, the team that came in late, are not eligible to play for the cup, but will be given the priv- ilege to play against the winners. Bow that the race track at the Agricultural grounds is nearly com- pleted and is one of the best in this part of the district, Mr. Saiunders, of Brock ville, expects to arrive in town on Thursday with five race horses and will make Orono his headquarters fo the summer. He will use the track to train his horses, for the coming races in this part of the country.

A plague of worms or caterpillars made their appearance on the walnut tree on Mrs. A. Henry’s lawn this week and at the rate they were going would soon have had the tree stripped of all its foliage. Mr. Meredith Linton,, of the Reforestation Plant, was called in to find out what species they belonged to, but they were a new kind to him so he sent, some to Ottawa to find out all about them. They are covered with a grey fur and are dark brown, in color and very vicious. On Wednesday afternoon the tree was sprayed to detroyed the pests. Bowmanville Legion Band journey- ed to Orono Community Park on Sunday afternoon and played to a large number who had gathered at the park to enjoy the attraction. The programme consisted of overtures, marches and sacred music. Sunday seems to be a good time to hold a band concert as it is a day of relax- ation, and what is nicer than to stroll to the park and listen to band music, which seems to drive away the aches and pains, also brighten up this old world of ours. We hope that the band ‘will return again before the cold weather turns in. “Lord Jeff,” the 8th anniversary treat, starring Freddie Bartholomew and Mickey Rooney, will be shown at the -Capitol Theatre at Port Hope on Friday and -Saturday next. Messrs. Fas. and Fred Tamblyn are changing the partitions around in the new 'Beauty Parlour rooms, which will soon be opened to the public. It pays to spend a few dollars on outside referees for the three softball teams in this league. On Tuesday evening there wasn’t one single ar- gument during the whole game. Why can’t our local umpires enjoy the same confidence from the players ?
