Mackie, a former well-known newspaperman.of Otta- wa and the west, and a former Kings- fonian, in a letter to his sister, Mrs. E. M. Henry, Ottawa, gives a rather graphie description of the recent de- parture of the 2nd Canadian Division for active service in France. Gunner Mackie eame east from Medicine Hat, | Alberta, last winter to enlist with the 25th Battery, C. F. A, at Ottawa, and is now .in training with the overseas draft of that battery at Ross Rar- | racks, Shorneliffe, Eng. In his let- | ter, dated Sept, 19th, he says: "Fhe Second Division has gone to 1+ France. About. four or five thou- {sand of them left every night last | week, and they nearly all marched past our barracks.' Tt surely was a wonderfully inspiring, but also a {rather sad, sight to watch what seemed like a never-ending parade of men going down to embark on a | journey from which 'they may never | return. But. do you think - they | were thinking of that? You never Hin your life saw suth a happy-go- | lucky bunch--all singing and in great spirits. The last of the divi- | sion, all western battalions ,were to {embark on Thursday night. They | marched from Otterpool Camp to Folkstone, a distance, of nine and a half miles, each man carrying his pack, weighing 81 pounds, besides his rifle and other equipment. _ This embarkation was proceeding rapidly when suddenly the order came 'un- load.' It appears now that the Ad- | miraity learned there were five Ger- | man 'subs' waiting for the transports, also that the channel was strewn with mines. The upshot was that the men marched back to Otterpool, car- rying their packs and equipment. It was a real test of stamina, and these men began to realize about then that they were at war. .

That the members of the Board of Directors are more than pleased with the results of the Kingston Industri- al Agricultural Association's Fair, was shown Thursday afternoon, when | the directors held a meeting to wind up some business in connection with { the big show. In the absence of the president, A. E. Weller, the chair was occupied by J. L. F. Sprould, the second vice-president. Reports presented showed that the fair had panned out one hundred per cent. better than last year, and this, in spite of the heavy expenditure, it; is expected that there will be a neat balance in the Board's favor when all | the expenses have been met.

George S. Clen- | dinnen, after opening the proceedings lin due form, called upon W. F Nickle, M.P., to take the chair, and the genial parliamentarian 'in sponding, gave one of his graceful and effective speeches, in which he | dwelt upon the many reasons that should move all classes in Canada to be in thankful mood at this time. | The musical programme which fol- lowed was most enjoyable, consist- ing of a piano selection by Miss Grace | Pound, and vocal solos by Mrs. John | Evans, Miss Florence Valleau, Mrs. | VanLuven and Miss Frankie Davies. | Mrs. T. R. Carnovsky and Clare | Smith were the accompanists. Brief and happy addresses were | given by Revs. A. Brown, H. E | Curry and Captain Campbell, all | uniting in congratulating Brock | Street Church and its pastor on the | successful fathering and also the { prosperous condition and bright out- | look of the congregation. In a brief closing address, Rev. Mr | Clendinnen paid a warm tribute to | the work of the Ladies' Aid Society { and official board and expressed cor- dial thanks to those who had contri- | buted to the programme.

W. Fair- bairn, secretary of the company. This re the event, and every night as well, is deserving of much - praise. for the | showing. He is already boosting for | the show of 1916, and promises that {it will far surpass that eof 1915 { When he winks his eye and says this, | you can depend upon it that there is something doing, =o look out for next year's programme.

(Special to the Herald.) Herald Bureau, No. 130 Fleet Street, y London, Sept. 22. + High up in A pretty flat over the Strand Theatre lives Ivor Novello, the twenty-year-oid voung man who composed "Till the Boys Come Home," which is certainly the most popular war air here since "Tipperary." For months the men in khaki have sung it as they swing through the streets and lanes; no concert is complete without it, every office boy whistles it and recruiting bands blare it forth and the few Italian street organs that remain grind it out with-yariations: It is not a ballad to fire the martial spirit, but rather a reminder of home set to a swinging vet most touching melody.
