Mr. Gregg. of Little Britain, delivered .an eloquent sermon, speaking to the Sunday school scholars. On Mon- day, Mr. Bell, Mr. Grentrix, of Canning- ton, and Mr. Cragg. our present pastor were in attendance. Mr. Mallett, 0t Scugog Island, also spoke to the children for a «short time.

Mr. Hawkins had a complete walkover, winning by 20 rafters. The frame work was done by Mr. T1105.

But the young gaflir, who throws modesty to the winds, and takes his oft repeated plunges in nature’s garb, has the best of it.. The story is told of a coupleof Sturgeon Point belles,who, wearied of the strictures of the modern bathing costume, sought treedom and a. plunge in the cool and inviting waters of the lake at an early hour. Arising with the lark, they betook themselves to a secluded spot west of “the spring,” and divesting themselyes. of every- thing‘but nature’s garb, enjoyed a haltihoulrs swim, “far trom the madding crowd." and free from all restraint. But there was an earlier riser than they, who, perched in a. neighboring tree, _with glass in'hand, viewed the enchanting scene from afar.- Now that the girls have got onto it, there is' talk of a lyncténg‘ganx.
