The run up the river was delightful. and when the lake was reached, there was just enough “white caps" flving to make yachting pleasant. R.

There is no use denying the fact that you are the owner of a dog or hiding him in the cellar; the Chief knows j ust who have dogs and who have not, and the easiest and quickest way if you are the proud possessor of a mangy cur is to come down with your dollar or two and save trouble. â€"A very pleasant excursion and picnic will be that of St. Paul’s Sabbath School to Otillia, on Thursday, July 26th. The fare is only 75cents. The distance isjust right, and the objective point one of the prettiest that could be chosen. Better make up your mind to go. The train will stop on the avenue at the Court House for the accommodatlon of residents of the north ward. â€"The present extreme dry weather is very trying on livery horses. The air seems devoid of all moisture and the dust is almost unbearable. Those who have occasion to take out a. lilery rig should water the poor horses frequently. and also drive slow. Too many think that because they pay for the use of the horse and rig for a day they are in duty bound to drive the animal at the top of its speed in order to get the worth of their money. ~â€"Wednesday morning, at an early hour. Gilmour Co’s monster drive of 37,000 logs, drawn by alligator, arrived at the Point. The wind was blowing straight; down the lake, and waited an appetizing smell of cooking viands. By the time the drive was abreast of the Point (about 2 a.m.,) it was boarded by several cottagers, who feasted on pork and beans in a true river-driver style. It is said some of the boys were so en- armored with this Bostonian brain pro- ducingr food, that they stuck to the drive until Bobcaygeon was reached. â€"Insist on having Tennis Ball stamped “1895."

An operation was found necessary, after which at the re- quest of Mr. Walxer he was brought to Collingwood by boat, where his father met him and had him removed to the Toronto general hospital for further treatment. He is now in a fair way towards recovery. â€"Near Montreal, on Saturday morning last, a whole freight train was wrecked through the carelessness of some person who allowed his cattle to run at large near the railway track. The trainmen miraculously escaped without injurv, but five cows were ground into mince meat. Almost every day trainmen in this section have to slow up to avoid run- ing into a herd of cattle, which would mean the destruction of rolling stock and perhaps the loss of life. An example should be made of a. few of these offenders. One railway man’s life is worth a town- ship full of cattle. .â€"R. CAMPBELL. Insurance Agent, office secoqd door north of WATCHMAN printing ofhce.â€"28-4. ~~Une evening last week, as the steam- er Esturion was al-Out pulling out from the lower wharf, on her down trip, a slight mishap occurred that caused not a little commotion among the passengers on board. Packing blew out of some of the machinery. allowing the steam to escape with a rush, and in a few moments the lower part of the boat was filled with steam. In the smoking cabin was one of our leading hotel-men, a bank clerk and a gentleman of leisure, and they were just about to sit down to a social game of pedro, when one of the seats blew up with a bang and the cabin was white with steam in less time than it takes to tell it. The hotel-man yelled for some one to punch a hole in the ceiling and let the steam out, but didn’t wait to see the order executed. He joined his companions in a rush for the end of boat from where the trio hoped to reach the dock, but the end of the steamer had swung out slightly, and this was found impossible. It was then proposed to jump into the river and swim ,‘ashore, but this proposition died almost in its birth, and they stood their ground, “amid mental anguish and bodily fear." In the meantime there was a hurried scamper by the rest of the passengers to share by way of the gang plank. Purser: Diament had to see a man suddenly al share, the gallant captain turned a shade paler, while the stalwart secretaryr treasurer of the Toronto Street Railway Co. (limited) Gracefully sought shelter behind the freight shed. The chief engineer was off the boat at the time, but Iassistant engineer Howe took the matter ‘coolly, and soon had the escaping steam shut oh“ and everything in ship-shape order again. The mishap caused a delay of a couple of hours. â€"-Cherries, Berries, Pineapples and Water-Melons at Fox’s. â€"We were honored with a call the other day from a man named James Arthur Stewart, who tramped into town the previous evening from Beaverton. He claims to have been around the world several times and was at one time manager of the Bank of I'pper Canada, and also held a prominent position in the finance department at Ottawa. He is a man of evident literary ability and contributed articles on many occasions to most of the leading English and America magazines. Like many a brilliant man, whiskey has been his ruin, and today he is but a common tramp. soliciting a shilling from any one to satisfy his terrible cravings for the curse of Canadaâ€"strong drink. â€"-From the appearance of the crops in the vicinity of Perry Perry and that section bordering on Lake Scugog has been more favored with rain than has Lindsay and the country surrounding. The grass in the fields is as green as our well watered lawns and crops of all kinds look well. There must bea Joniah in our midst somewhere. Can it beâ€"but perish the thought. â€"Remember the Baptist Sabbath school excursion to Washburn’s Island to-morrow (Friday) Steamer Crandella leaves the locks at 8.15 a. In. returning at an early hour. This is the first excur- sion of the season to this pretty island and grounds, and as the fishing is said to be excellent it will no doubt be very successful ...... A new brick oven has been built at the park and picnickers and others can now have fresh home-made bread 1!) abundance. â€"â€"Friday morning last we noticed a large hamper of maskinonge on the Esturion They were caught in Sturgeon lake, and every fish was a beauty. The hamper was directed to parties in Mus- koka. Fishing in the Muskoka lakes must be giving out. At the Point it is getting better every season. â€"-At the special meeting of the board of education Thursday evening last it was decided to prepare specifications and advertise for tenders for the erection of an addition to the gymnasium in connec- tion with the collegiate institute. The present building will be enlarged to cover an expanse of 38 x 76ft. To the east the building will be extended 22ft and wid- ened by 13ft to the south. Work will commence at once and the improvements completed by the time school resumes again. -â€"The public should turn out and support more liberally the Wednesday and Saturday excursions of the steamer Crandella to Sturgeon Point. The run to the Point is a very pleasant one, and gives ample time for a health-giving ramble among the shady oaks at this popular summer resort. The boat is staunch, safe and carefully handled; the captain and crew always striving to please their patrons, while the fare is within reach of everyone, only 20cents for adults and 10 cents for children. The boat should be crowded every trip. -â€"We were shown a few days ago a. copy of a very old paper. the Ulster County Gazette, published in 1800 at Kingston N. Y.. by Samuel Free Son. It is quite newsy and well edited, and contains among other things an account of the funeral services of the late George Washington. â€"Steamboat men complain at the manner in which millowners crowd the river with logs above and below the locks. At times when steamers are heavily laden it is almost impossible to effect a passsage in safety. Tuesday morning the Cran- della brought about: 300 excursionists from Port Perry to Sturgeon Point, and it re- quired mate Winters’ best skill at the wheel to pilot the steamer safely by some of these rafts. â€"â€"â€"Those of our readers who lie in bed these beautiful summer mornings miss half their lives. Dawn breaks about 3.30, and by four o’clock the ruddy light of the rising sun is streaming o’er the eastern hills. and the sky is covered with a hue that is as beautiful as a coy, just-home- for-vacation maidens blush; the birds are singing sweet love songs to their mates in the trees; the air is pure and fresh, and laden with the rich perfumes of flowers and fresh cut clover; and every view is an inspiration for the thoughtful. Our re- porter took in the up trip to Port Perry on the staunch steamer Crandella the other evening, and as she left on the home run at 4 am. it was either get up and catch the boat or walk home, hence this item. â€"The lacr osse match at the agricultural Park Tuesday afternoon. between the Lindsay Centrals and the PortPerry team, resulted in an easy victory for the home team. The game standing 4 to 0 in favor of Lindsay. Play lasted just 45 minutes. A slight fracas took place during the game, but was quickly suppressed, after one of the visitors had received a well delivered right-hander just over his feed- ing valve, as a reward for an insulting epithet used. Lindsay lacrosse players are noted for their gentlemanly treatment of opponents. but at times there are things that must be resent- ed, and promptly. No admission was charged. the boys being anxious to work up public interest in lacrosse. Iflext week it is expected a good game will be played between the seniors of Woodville and the Lindsay team, at the Park here where the citizens should turn out in large numbers and by contributing their lmite, help to boom the national game in our town. In the Centrals, Lindsay has a good representative club, and with the addition of four crack lacrossists. who have recently taken up their residence in Lindsay, we may rely on our boys making a good showing. â€"-A very attractive poster has just been issued from THE \VATCHMAN job department for the annual grand union excursion and pilnic of the G. T. R. employes at Orillia on Saturday July 20th. The program of sports is the best they have ever offered, and consists of cricket, base- ball. football and lacrosse matches, for which four handsome silver cups, valued at from, $20 to $100, are offered. A tug- of-war between nine Midlanders and a. corresponding number from the Northern division will probably be the event of the day. Last year the Lindsay men succeed- ed in winning the prize and if they are successful this year they become the owners of the coveted trophy. In addition to the above over $600 will be given for prizes in games, etc. A special. train leaves Lindsay at 8 run. sharp. and the fare is only 75 cents. The Citizens band will accompany the exursionists. â€"F. C. Taylor, Insurance Agent.

Game will becalled at 5 o’clock sharp. Admission 10 cents; ladies free. This promises to be a lively game, and lovers of baseball should be on hand. â€"Notwithstanding the heavy down- pour of rain on the 12th, the match game of baseball, Lindsay vs. Port Perry, was played at the agricultural park. The game was called at 3 o'clock sharp. Owâ€" ing to the unfavorable weather the crowd of spectators was not large, but neither this fact nor the drenching rain seemed to cool the arder of the contestants, and a capital game of ball was umpired by C. Andrews in a very satisfactory manner. Port Perry won the toss and went: to bat first. and at the conclusion of the fifth innings the game stood: Lindsay 16, Port Perry. 4. â€"-The barbers of Watertown recently held a picnic at which there was a hair cutting contest. The successful compet- itor cut a man’s hair in nine minutes and a few seconds ....... We would like to hear from some Lindsay knight of the razor. How would it do to hold an Apple- bee and offer a prize for the quickest barber ? â€"The basehal match at the Park Thursday evening last, between the WATCHMAN team and a team made up of members of the Post stafi‘ and others, re- sulted in a walkover for our boys, just as they expected. In fact their opponents were never in it from the start. Their “crack” pitcher got rattled, being a little “short” anyway, and could’nt hit a barn door at twenty paces, while the hackstou was kept busy hunting for balls. At the conclusion of the fourth inninee the score stood 21 to 4 in favor of the Wucnmx * team. Before leaving the park a deputat- ion frnui the large crowd present waited on the defeated team and present- ed them with a has: full of wind, I: 3 sort of consolation prize. â€"0n the evening of the 12th the Prentice boys and band were entertained by Mr. Geo. Fox at his ice cream parlors. Ice cream and cakes were served ad libitum, and a. half hour very pleasantly spent.

A few days before leaving he met with an accident that will lay him up for several weeks. While removing matches from his vest pocket a dynamite cap, which he had placed in the same pocket; with the matches, exploded lacerating his hand very badly, and also inflic_t_i_ng a painful wound on his side. â€"The poor silly scribeâ€"whose species is better known by his bray than the length of his earsâ€"who does the alleged “local” work on the Evening Post and Patent Medicine Advertiser issued at the east end of Kent-st, seems to have a special animosity towards Lindsay’s popular paper and its staff, and under the guise of talking baseball vents his spleen on THE Warcmux. If the Post people want to play ball for the sport that is in it, why don’t they come up to the scratch. THE \VATCHMAN team are ready and anxious to accommodate them, “anywhere, anytime.” â€"New potatoesâ€"were offered in town Saturday, and sold at 30 cents a peck.
