During |the showers the crowd took shelter {in the main building, and in the \ | automobiles which were parked in {large numbers. For a time it looked as though the show was going to be a "fizzle," bu: | the sun came out about 3.30 o'clock, |and it was decided to have the horse | races and the judging of horses. The | track was wet, and with the consent {of the judges the horses only went | twice around instead of three times, it being a one-third mile track. "Directum Murphy," owned by Thomas Nicholson, of Kingston, won the "free-for-all,'" while 'Maude | Murphy," owned by Frank Yorke, | Tamworth, won the 2.35 class. The races were very closely contested, and during a couple of heats it look- ed as though things were golug to be mixed up, and it would require five heats to declare a winner. | There came very nearly being an | accident between the heats of the {2.25 class, when one of the race horses was driven out on the track directly in front of Mrs. A. G. Robbs, who was driving "Princess Ax- worthy," the valuable mare. owned by Manly Foster, Yarker. The quick action of Mrs. Robbs, certainly pre- vented a crash.

This mare, which is five years old, has had a wonderful career up to date she -has won fifteen first prizes, having competed at London, Ont., and the Canadian National Exhibi- tion at Toronto, where she won against sixteen horses entered in the class. Mrs. Robbs, who has driven the horse on a number of occasions, is a wonderful horsewoman, and she certainly knows how to handle this beast. 8. D. Wagar, Enterprise, won the prize for driving his car at the slow- est rate of speed around the track. Seven cars were entered in the con- test and Mr. Wagar made the slow- est time. In fact he was the only driver who did not change his gears. in making the circuit. Mr. Wagar drove a McLaughlin car, and while all the others had trouble going || through the mud, and were compell- ed to change gears, the old "Mac" glided through the mud with ease. R. E. Lampkins, Moscow, who was entered in the "carriage class," fif- teen and a half hands and over, won first prize on his horse. Mr. Lamp- kins has won first prize on about twenty occasfons, when he has ex- hibited at county fairs. The horse owned by W. C. Lloyst, and driven by Mrs. Waiter Atchin- son, was awarded first prise, in the "roadster class," fifteen and a half hands and under. "The best part of the day was apent by the judges awarding prizes for the exhibits. The judges claim that the exhibits were about the best that they had seen this season. The women of the Odessa Meth- odist church had a booth, serving meals and refreshments, and did a good business.

Vastly different causes. But at bottom, essentially the same, a desire for wider freedom. During student days at Edinburgh I used to visit a certain Dueal Estate, where 1 was always struck by 'the signs "No Trespassing," "No Poaching." Then I would go back to Canongate ,and see humans packed like sardines. At this spectacle, a Canadian friend used to exclaim, "Pack 'em tight «t Canongate, but for pity sake don't crowd the pheasants." When I beheld. conditions Iike that I wondered that the whole of Scotland's slums did not Join a trek, if not for God, or the devil, at least for freedom !Mke unto that of rabbits and of pheasants. Before the war, it was the style for Europe to refer to America with | condescencion, even yet that condescencion is not wholly gone. Our own prigs have helped on this idea, by referring to everything Yes. belonging to the New Worl, disparagingly, and referring to everything emenating from the Old World with awe and reverence. These prigs regarded our highest academic parchments as useless! unless supplemented by a degree from a German University. We still have plenty of these allen souls amongst us, who, dwelling in America, find this! place profane, while Europe, in their eyes, is sacred. These are the people who object if everything in art, literature and! lite of the New ,that is not absolutely a replica of the Old. Trex desire Is that we should all emulate the Chinese tailor, who copies a coat in| every particular, right down to its patches. If the New World were merely a replica of the Old we might as well | have stayed across the water. Because certain Scots crowded too tightly! got fed up with making room for pheasants, they dhanged the fetid alr of | the Canongate for the wide airs of the prairies. In greater, of lesser de-| gree, it was the urge toward something better that brought to Canada,' and to United States, every immigrant that cane of his own fres will. ' I ------ BASIS OF NORTH AMERICANISM This impatience of the past, this hope of something better, is the common basis of North Americanism. | Barries play, "Dear Brutus," represents a group of people who have! made a failure of life, then Barrie in one of his whimsical vagaries intro- duces a "wood of the Second Chance," a place where each may start again, where they may find their "might have beens" of life. This is a parable of our New World, which is in all truth the "Land of the Second Chance."! The stranger seeks our shores In search of his "might have beens" of life. Greece to-day is full of dreamers lazying away In the sunshine, dreaming as they have ever since the days .of Pericles. But let one of these same day-dreaming Greeks get a move on and cross the ocean, and what a difference. At once he begins to hustio, he !s no longer merely | dreaming, he is bringing things to pass. In the New World through | action he has come to the piace where he may exclaim, "Here's where my dreams come true." Out of such countless examples we may deduc North Americanism. It is practica blending of the man of action, e our definition of 1 idealism shadowed forth by wondrous and ths maw of dreams. -- Se ---- nelly, Boomville, N.Y., have returned GANANOQUE home after a visit with Mrs. W.
