There Were About Three Thousand | Present--Several Addresses Deli- | vered --A Baseball Match Played. What was perhaps the biggest pie- nic ever held on Wolfe Island, was glven in the beautiful grove adjoin- ing the Sacred Heart Church by Rev. Father Fleming on Tuesday. Fully three thousand people were present including a large number of returned soldiers, many of them convalescents from the military hospitals, and guests of Father Fleming. The stea- mer Brockville was chartered to Carry the soldiers and the R.C.H.A band 10 the Island, while the ferry Wolfe Islander made special hourly trips to accommodate the throngs of People who found in the occasion an opportunity for a day's outing that Was full of interest and pleasure, Farmers came from Kingston, Pitts- burg and Loughboro townships, and the steamer 'Wolfe Islander was crowded every trip, Dr. Spankie hav. ing changed the schedule to accom- modate the management of the pics nie, The picnic was a splendid success in every way. The weather was ideal and all sorts of out-door sports were indulged in, including baseball, run- ning and jumping. The grounds were beautifully decorateg with flags and bunting, and boothé had been locat- ed at intervals where refreshments ware served. Most elaborate prepar- At The Grand. A splendid programme of high- class photoplays and superior vaude- ville was presented to the large crowd {at the Grand Opera House last sven- ing. Virginia Pearson, the 'talented {Fox beauty, appeared in a five reel feature film, "Buchanan's Wife," a screen adaption of the famous novel ot the same name by Justus Miles Forman. Gloria Joy, the youthful Screen star, was seen in a five reel feature, "No Children Wanted," a delightful story of love and youtn that provides much amusement. Other films' shown were a Mutt and Jeff cartoon, '"The Ace and Joker," and industrial reel showing the "Salmon Industry," and an excellent comedy, "Her Lady's. Slipper." The vaudeville, Madelyn Shone, drew inuck applause for her clever wit m a singing and talking act. This Lin will be repeated to-night for tha last time. For the las, balf of tha week, Mae Marsh will be seen in "The Race ing Strain." Bill's Rhodes will ap- pear in "Tue Love Call."

At Griffin's, To-night will bé the last opportu nity to see beautiful Ethel Clayton in her new photoplay "Men Women and Money" which has proven so popular with Kingston audiences the last few days. No admirer of Miss Clay- ton should overlook this chance to see their favorite in an entirely new ations were made for serving dinner, and thie successful manner in which they were carried out called forth! the highest praise for the ladies who | had charge. There was abundane of everything delicious and enticing that one could wish for, but this is the way with the Wolfe Island peo- ple, and it is one of the reasons why there was such a large attendance, Rev. Father Fleming received the people very warmly, and his hospita- lity was deéply appreciated. Among his grests were Brig.-Gen. Williams, [G.0.C., M.D., No. 3; Major W. J. Me- Manus and Major the Rev. Mr. Wil- kin, Chaplain Services, C.E.F., An- thony Rankin, M.P.P.,, 8. L. Squire, president of the Good Roads Assoc lation, Toronto; Rev. Fathers Lacey and Hanley of Kingston, and the Whig's representative. During the af- { ternoon Father Fleming conducted | several parties through his grounds | and apiary. He is an expert beekeep- role in which she does some of the finest work of her career. The tory centres around & girl Marcel Milidle. ton whose parents tho poor manage to send their daughter to a fashion- able boarding school; where she soon learns to value money too highly and becoming dissatisfied with her hum- ble home leaves and enters into the gay whirl of soelety in the city, She awakes to her 'true self only after she has lost all her money gambling and her friends forsake her. The story is a gripping one and cannot fall to win your appreciation.-- Advt. TOWN SUPERVISOR ' DIES AT CLAYTON William M.

It is a very profitable in- dustry, he says, but the possibilities that lie in it are not realized because 80 few people keep bees. Late in the afternoon a number of most interesting addresses were given. The speakers were introduced by Archibald. Staley, who acted as chairman. The first speaker "was Brig.-Gen. Victor S. Williams who thanked Father Fleming on beaalf of the soldiers for the privilege of be- ing present and expressed the great plensiire that all felt, and their keen appreciation of his hospitality aud his efforts to make the day an enjoy- able one to them. He paid 'a warm tribute to the soldiers who had fought In Canada's army in France and assured them of his great desire to do all he could at any time to pro- mote their welfare in every way. He was followed by Anthony Ran- kin, M.P.P., who directed his remarks {to the farmers, telling what the pro- vinclal government was doing to im- prove their soctal life, and te plans to build community halls in every munieipality. He took up the matter of highway, upon which millions of dollars were being expended and ex- pressed the hope that Wolfs Island would get a share of the expenditure for its roads: The approaching refer- tendum on the question of prohibition was mentioned and he expressed the hope. that the benefits of prohibition would not be lost sight of when they voted on the measure. . 8. L. Squire, president of the Good Roads Association, Toronto, spoke at some length on the good roads po- Hey of the provincial government. Three classes of roads were describ- ed, provincial roads were highways. connecting cities, seventy per cent of forty per cent, of the cost of which was paid by the government; and county roads, forty per cent. of the cost of which was paid by the gov- | ernment.
