The prize list has just been issued and distributed. It certainly ought to attract the attention of all owners of fine live stock and speedy horses. A commendable feature of the programme is the running race for farmers’ horses, which should interest the 3. oung men of the country and others as well. â€"-The secretary has received letters from prominent breecers of Jersey, Devon, Here- ford and Ayrshire cattle, stating their inten- tion of exhibiting at the Central :fair.

The capture of prisoners are reported from Omemee and Fenelon Falls. The great harvest festival thanksgiving services takes place next Saturday Sunday and Monday. Friends are asked to donate anything towards this festival to help on the work in general. A monster loaf of bread will be on view, go and take a thank offering. We feel like writing enthusiasticallyand have reason for doing so. The management of our neat opera house are to be congratala ted on their opening for the season, both as regards the attendance and programme. The ladies of the Baptist church who were the promoters, of the entertainment were somewhat different as to its success so early in the season, but determined, with the help of those who so kindly gave their assistance, to at least deserve success. Their decision received its reward and each item was given an attention by the audience that showed its appreciation. A prompt start was not made owing a good deal to the late coming of many of the audience, which would have interfered much with the rendering of the earlier numbers, and this delay and the responding to encores when the ‘ time was filled by the items on the programme i made it late in closincr. Miss W'hiteside was? the star of the evening, and was charming in the portrayal of the different personages and‘ their different moods. We are sorry that ‘ there seems so little chance of hearing her again soon. She was most admirably support- ed by Miss G. Trotter, who may be sure of a warm welcome whenever she appears in public as an elocutionist. Miss I. Matthews, who led off with a piano solo, has been studying under Dr. Vogt, of Toronto, and her numbers were rendered very prettily. The other instrumentalist of the evening, Miss Gregory, well upheld the honors of her gold medal in the Rhapsody by Lesgt. Particularly interesting was the solo by Miss Silver, with Miss Dingle at the piano, and With a flute obligate by Mr. Dingle. The tones of the delicate instrument made us wish that Mr. Dingle may find frequent opportunities of gratifying audiences during the coming season \rULlLllUuLC’ WLICLIIUI AL My All well v5 V-onvc vv‘u', Gifts of produce. grocers, fruit, grain, cattle poultry, or anything of any description which is saleable. After the collection of these various articles a sale of the same is arranged and the proceeds placed into one common fund to help out the debts mentioned. Commanâ€" Booth hopes by this scheme, also, to replenish the storehouse of his various institutions such as rescue homes for fallen women, men’s shel- ters, children’s institutions, home for sick officers, also his social farm, so that it will be unnecessary to spend money on these articles during the fall and winter. He contends that though money is scarce, the land is laden With good things, and he calls upon those who have enough and to spare to remember those who are not so favorably circumstanced. â€"-In 1892 Commandant H. H. Booth hit upon a new idea for raising funds by inaugurat- ing a plan for clearing poor corps and officers of debt. The plan was an annual “Harvest festival scheme,” to be held all over the .Dominim and Newfoundland on certain dates. This year the dates are: For Canada, Saturday, Sunday and Monday, September Ist, 2nd and 3rd; Newfoundland, Septemder 29th, 30th and October Ist. In this scheme it is possrble for all who appreciate the Army’s work to assist in some way or other. The officers of the various corps are instrncted to visit friends and collect from them anything they are able to. contribute, whether it be in cash or otherwise, as v.2» Sid this week. ”To Misv 7)inqle’s accompaniments what better compliments can be paid than the favor in which she is held by the soloists. Miss B. \Valters and Mr. W. Robson songs both sustained the well-known ability of the singers, and we are glad that the date of the concert permitted the introduction of Miss Lulu Dundas’ name in the programme. \Ve will always claim some reflected honor from her musical ability and winning presence in that she was at one time a resident of Lindsay, and appreciated as her singing used to be, her voice shows the improvement resulting from careful training. Her song “Of Thee I’m thinking” delighted her hearers. The series of poses under direction of Miss VVhiteside were very successful and the effect was much brightened by the substitution of lime light, under the efficient management of Mr. Stevens, for the old system of colored fires. The figures are brought out into much better relief, there is less danger, less smoke, more punctuality in throwing the light on anti ofl'and the colors can be changed more often. To all appearance it means good-bye to the day of red-light and disagreeable odors. â€"The Omemee band rendered several fine selections on Kent-st.

He was‘knocked senceless, and received a- severe cut just below the temple and had his right optic badly blackened besides a severe blow on the back of his head. He is still suffering from the efl'ects of his injuries. -â€"An east end Joker called on a down town barbera few days ago and after standing around for a few minutes went out leaving a small paper bag parcel on the window in an absent minded way. The tonsorial artist called after him and he said he would be back in a few minutes for it. It was not long however before the parcel began to move and upon going over to take a close observation the artist just began to realize “that there was something alive” when out popped a little mouse and after a lively scamper around the room made good his escape. The joker called at a later hou‘r 10d de- manded his parcel, but he has failed to secure it as yet. LITTLE LOCAL LINES. Tuesday’s Concert. S. A. Notes. â€"â€"Sanitary Inspector Douglas reports that there is only one diphtheria card up in Lindsay now. The disease is pretty well eradicated, and by close observance of the health regulations we should hear of no more cases. The town has been extremely clear of other contagious diseases, showing that it is not the sanitary condition of the town that is at fault. â€"-â€"Contractor White has a. number of men at work this week tearing down the old curling rink and removing it to the Peel-st site, work is to be com' menced at once upon the new building, The new rink will be better equipped, and possesses about double the capacity. â€"A merchant said the other day that one reason for the cities “backwardness in going forward” was the habit some citizens have of purchasing their goods and supplies from Toronto without even askmg a price from Lindsay firms.

Who he is or from whence he came is a. mystery. He is gentle and unobtrusive in disposition and all his actions seem in harmony with some settled plan. seated in an otherwise morbid brain. It is strange so true a re- production of the historic hermit should inhabit this lonely mud bound Island. â€"The steamer Carmona. which went ashore at Picton the other day. has been towed ofl and is undamaged. ~â€"The regular meetmg of the council will be held next; Monday night. -â€"Special reports covering all sections of the United States, Canada and Europe on the hay, collected for the crop report nember of The Hay Trade Journal. published to-dav, show a shortage as compared with an average crop of 9 per cent, with 3 per cent. of the old hay re- maining in the hands of the farmers and dealers.

Cain was also dashing down Kent behind his grey cyclone at a lively gait, and having his attention drawn to another part of the street he was surprised to find his forward flight come suddenly to a stop and on looking forward found his nag doing the “balancing act.” upon one of the wheels of Goslin’s cart. A sudden “reef” to one Side smashed the wheel down and- threw his horse flat on the ground, while the now thoroughly frightened trotter (Mamie 8.), desired to get out of the wreck and started off atLa
