A quarter of a gentury ago, on a tiny farm near Cataraqui, geveral mi from Kingston, the residents of the district used to gather on a m| certain afternoon each year to dis- || play the products of their farms and il to enjoy the company of their neigh- bors for a féw hours. The annual I] event became known as the King- 1] ston Township Fair. There was little competition for the $200 in prises. - Gradually a slow but steady decline in the popularity and attend- | ance was noted, and the wags of the ll | neighborhood predicted an early col- on Brock St. Plapse of the enterprise. But in the ll | horoscope of fate thesa observers had failed to observe that a son had il | been born to Mr and Mrs. James F. i]| Bushell, in a little house at the foot of Princess street, Kingston; that the healthy babe had been christened Fob John Bushell in the Pres- byt n kirk, and that he was de- stined to resurrect the fair from The fill grave. The balmy breezes from Lake Hill Ontario and the sight of the blue Hl waters of the River St. Lawrence | stirred within Mm visions of the rov- Bll! ing fe of a mariner. Accordingly, whén he was a mere youngster in his 'teens, young Bob sailed the Jakes in the summer and attended | school in the winter. He started off ll! as a waiter, and after twenty years on the lakes he had attained the ill position of gecond officer and purser on the Richelieu and Ontario steam- | boat lines. When the management of that company was changed in the middle nineties, R. J. decided that the little ditty, "A Sailor's Life is the Lite for Me," applied no longer to him. Fig uratively speaking, he folded his ll hammock, packed his traps, and joined the ranks of the 1andlubbers, Hill atter some of the best years of his | 1ife had been =mpent on the lakes, In 1895 this flaxen-haired son of sturdy English stock from Norfolk county, returned to his native city, broadened in experience as well as {n physique, and determined to make the best of any opportunity that wes afforded him. Twenty years of endeavor in the pure ozone of Lake Ontario pre- cluded any thought of making a suc- cess within the confines of an office or a store, and it was natural that he should turn to agriculture to find his lite task. Oily when he was working undér the brilliant summer sun was he happy, and his success in his specialty of gardening has been nothing short of remarkable. Since that day, nearly twenty-five years ago, whén he sallied forth to the fields at his farm on the Bath Road mear Cataraqui, R. J. Bushell I { Bddy's Best Matches, has worked season in and Season out. Happy is the mén Who masters his profession, whatever it may be, and R. J. ig recognised not only on the Kingston market, where "he appears regularly three times a week, but throughout the province, as one of the Most sutcessful vegetable grow- ers. But it has been the resurrestion and expansion bf the little township fair that was gradually passing from obscurity to extinction that has been his most singular exploit. Duting his first few years of residefice on the Bath Road, Mr. Bushell paid scant attention to the tiny was held each year near his door, and it was not until his neighbor, J. 1. Haycock, reeve of Kingston town- ship, explained the purpose behind 8 packages for Lm (Tuesday) Lux, SOF ...aoiie os % » : THE DAILY BRIT! dollars, although it must be said in extenudtion that the Weather Man failed to co-operate on both days of the fair. In 1914. a surplus of $225 was recorded. 8 that time the receipts have quadrupled, the ex- penses sextupled, and the $200 prize 1ist of long ago became one of $10,- 000 at last year's fair. The success obtained has only been through dint of untiring effort, and at the pre- gent time Mr. Bushell has the man agership of a fair excelled in extent only by the exhibitions of Toronto, Ottaws and Londop. Instead of be- fog a little two-hour affair it bas been found necessary to hold it for four days and four evenings, and it ts expected that it will be a weekly event this year. The 365-day-a<year, beaming, bab- sling booster, Bol' Bushell, atiFi- butes the success that has attended the exhibition in the past few years to hard work, continual boosting aid the co-operation of the prees. "These threé * factors," said he, "pave done more than anything else to help the fair, I take every op- portunity «td boost * it, no matter where 1 go, whether at a public gathering or at thé market, for I pelieve that it is helping everyone in Kingston and the surrounding dis- trict. The publicity that the press has been kind enough to give to the features of the fair, as well as the thousands of pamphlets and heralds which have been sent out, have done not a little to forward the exhibition. Lastly, I have worked hard for ita success, and am proud to say that after much effort 1 am securing the co-operation of the merchants and the various civic organizations In Kingston. The fair is here to stay just as long as I'm here, and 1 don't expect my summons tor a while." ---------------------- C. P. R. Time Changes. Commencing January 11th, the C. P.
