"Yes, 'cause when I got back the presbyterian was Just running down my face." : ~--Rébert Kennedy. THE AUTO RACE OF THE AGE! By Dr. Walter E. Yes, I have always been keen about the auto-racing game. Barney Oldfield once said to me, "Walter, you are the only man in the country I fear, for you are absolutely fear- less." It was true. Let me illustrate. In 1907, at Champagne, Ill, I was in the final heat against the great Seidlitz, who was driving a German "Herrendamen." My car was a Swiss "DeBrie." I had timed my opponent and knew that his maximum speed and my own were exactly the same. How, then, could I win from him? The only difference in our two cars was that mine had a little longer body. Our wheel bases were the same but the rear end of my car pro- Jected two feet further over the axle than did Seldlits's. Mark how this influenced, nay, decided the out- come of the race. From the crack of the gun it was @ neck and neck affair Round and round we circled, keeping exactly even. We 'roared into the home stretch absolutely abreast! I save my old boat all she would take but I could not gain an inch. Neither could Seldlits. Then yards from the finish an inspiration seized me. Jamming on the brake I pulled the steering wheel sharply, my car whirl- ed round and spun over the line backwards. Our wheels were even, but I had won the race by two feet, the exact difference in the length of our two cars! I have a cup in my eollection, pre- sented to me by the De Brie Com- lt | pany tor winning the tirst race ever "won by a tail." ---- One Or The Ovther.

COUNTY REVALUATION POSSIBLE THLS. YEAR Council Members to be Guests of Warden Gray on Trip Down River. Most of Wednesday was taken up by the members of the county coun- cil in committee work. The property committee met in the morning and considered a lot of business. After the council adjourned, which took place at 3.25 p.m., the property com- mittee met until four o'clock. The members of the council ac- cepted the invitation of the members of the board of management of the Kingston General Hospital and made an inspection of the. hospital pro- perty from four to six o'clock. They were delighted with the wonderful improvement which has been made at the hospital during the past five years, when over one million dollars has been spent in the erection of the new buildings. It was dedided that the first order of business on Thursday afternoon when the council meets at two o'clock will be the consideration of the budget. The report of the meetings of the good roads' committee which met on Ap 29th and June 4th, were adopt- ed. The committee recommended that the rate for good roads should this year be five mills instead of four. p, 3 The several by-laws the orders of motion of which were given on Tues- day afternoon received their first reading. It is expected that when the by-laws come to the second read- ing there will be considerable dis- cussion. The by-law which refers to the thange of several miles of county roads to the townships system will create a big debate. A bylaw g to the care of the county poor at the House of Providence, which was not changed the same time as that of the Home for the aged at the January session of the council was made to read similar to the other by-law which provides that the homes receive $4.80 per week for the keep of the county péor.

He then entered a claim against the Fenwick-Hendry Com- pany for $254 and costs. The Fen- wick-Hendry Company had purchas- ed the wine from the Baker Sales Company, Toronto; and they entered same amount. % ' David Sylvester, inspector for the Ontario License Board, was the first witness called and gave evidence about the seizure of the wine. E. F. Boulanger, private secretary for the Baker Sales Company testi- fied that his company were the re- presentatives of manufacturers and sold their products on commission basis. His company carries no stock and does mot handle any for com- panies. Their salesman called on the Fenwick-Hendry Company and secured an order for ten cases of Benedictine Wine. His company did not receive the money for the same, and the order was passed on to the manufacturers of the wine to be fill- ed. An advertisement was shown in a book, over the name of the Baker Company, which stated that the wine was guaranteed and could be sold legally. : When questioned as to whether his comfPany had inserted er paid for the advertisement. 1/itness stated that they had not. The wine is sold in quart bottles and the Baker Sales Company had never had it tested. Mr. H. BE. Richardson, proprietor of the Fenwick-Hendry Company, was the next witness called. He stat- ed that the salesman of the Baker Company had called ¥® him and he had given the salesman an order for ten cases of the wine.

Livingston, and $264 and costs to Fenwick and Henry on their counter- claim. W. Nickle, represented J. B. Liv- ingston; A. B. Cuhningham, K.C., the Fenwick-Hendry Company and J. Hickey, the Baker Sales Company.
