A regular meeting of the town council was held on Monday evening. Mayor Ray presided and Reeves Kylie, Walters, Crandell and Couns. Keith, Touchburn, Mallon, Killaby, Tully, Lovell and Head were present. _ A -L-.. -. a---“ auu “VG-u "v-' 17â€", The minutes of the last meeting were read and confirmed.

Conn. Killaby read a. report from the police committee, stating that the accounts of the chief constable had been examined and approved of and recommending that no billiard licenses be granted this The clerk asked that the collector's bond for 1893 be approved of.â€"â€"Accepted. IT MUST GO. Mayor Ray said that deferring,r action in the matter of the hospital would be criminal and as the doctors, who should know, said that such was badly required, the town should act, if only in the interests of humanity and the health of the town. The feeling of the great body of citizens was that such was required. Coun. Keith read a communication from the Ontario authorities regarding grants to hospitals. year. HE KICKS. Conn. Mallon objected to the latter portion of the reportâ€"as he considered that if the billiard bylaw was any good the license asked for should be grauted. Reeve Crandell also had something to say. He had known the Doveys for msny years and always knew them to be good citizens, among the best in town. and rebuked the members of the council who were in favor of granting billiard licenses. away from hotels, when now the cnance was offered to grant a license to a man who was, at least, 500 yards away from any hotel and who would not vote against the adoption of the report. -. -- . . ., , H ~A___ __L ”Conn Keith‘ said he wofild support Reeve Crandell if the intention was to make temperance houses. Conn. Touchburn had his innings and thought that some other persons, rather than Mr. Duvey, were at the bottom of the application, He favored billiard parlors, properly equipped, in the centre of the town. Conn. Mallon said he had an idea that, under the by-law, any man, as long as he was a fit and proper person. and compli- ed with the by-law. could compel the council to grant him the license. Mr. Angus Davey was heard and explained that he had expened some $500 in fitting up the premises for which the license was asked, upon the distinct understanding that the license would be granted without any further talk. THE STREETS. Conn. Touchburn read a report from the street and bridge committee, recommend- ing that the engineer be instructed to draw plans, say 25.; x 4 and to make estim- ates for the mst of the \V’ellington-st. sewer and also that the committee coulo not recommend any further outlay on streets and britlges.â€"Adopted. NO BOODLE. Mayor Ray said that the grant for streets and sidewalks was expended and no further grants would be made this vear,unless loss of life or limb depended on it. A resolution to lay down a sidewalk in the east “ ard, as asked for by Mr. John Davey was voted down. they yeas being Measrs. Crandtll Killaby, \V alters and Manon. Conn.

Inspector O'Neil complained that bovs broke down the. railings on the bridges and that the pollce did not interfere.

The annual exhibition ot the Brock agricultural society was held on Monday and Tuesday of this week and was, in every way a decided success and the directors and worthy secretary, Mr. D. H. Clendinning have every reason to feel proud of the result attending their efforts. The large list of entries demonstrated that the farmers of Brock are fully alive to the best interests of agriculture and consequently their showing in the differ- ent classes of live stock, etc., were of a high order of merit. This year in the classes for draught horses we were pleased to note among the many fine animals showna winner at Chicago, in the great Balgowrie, who took the fifth prize, and is owned by Mr. S. C. Johnston, of Manilla. This animal attracted the at- tention of a large crowd of interested stockman nearly all the time and is cer- tainly a great sire. Mr. Isaac McKay also exhibited a fine representative Clyds- dale s1re. Among those who made very creditable entries in the various clasSes of horses we noticed the names of Messrs. Geo. Hadden, Thos Stead. Peter Fallo- down, David Francis, W. H. Oliver, Rey- nolds, Lapp, Murtaqh, Shire, Keeslick and Reekie. Coun. Touchburn promised to see that things were all right in the Iuture. HEL PING OLIVER. Moved by Coun. Keith. seconded by Reeve Kylie. that the travelling dairv 0f the Ontario Government be given the free use of the council chamber during their exhibition here.f-Carried. 1n cattle, Brock township farmers are amongst the foremost, and a few of the leading breeders in this class are Messrs. ........ h v...v-,.. Bagshaw, Beaten, McGilvary, Shire, Rennie, Baker and McKay. The ready market for swine has given an impetus to this line of live stock, and very super- ior animals were shown by Messrs. Waddell, Fallodown, Warrian, Hawkins. Pangman, Waddell and McKay. in the small breeds. The exhibits of grain, roots. etc.. were large and the varieties exhibited fully up to the standard of excellence of former years. The inside exhibits were marked by full lines of ladies exhibits. fruits, fine arts etc. and reflects unusual credit upon the artistic skill of the good housewives and charming.)r daughters of Brock township. The atrae- tion for the first day in the speeding class was a farmers’ trot with three entries, and an open trot for stallions, in which live starters responded to the starters bell. In this cunnaction it would only be fair to commend the enterprise of the local horsemen and the society for their enter- prise in securing such a fine track. and keeping the same in such excellent shape. We know of no place in this district that can excell the little village of Sunderland in this respect. In the farmers trot three entries came up and resulted in a rather tame race, as the gelding Ringwood had evidently the speed of the party, and it was only through his driver waiting: behind and desiring to make what. is known as a “grand stand finish” that pro- longed this event beyond a three heat event. Following is the summary. Ringwood...................1 2 211 LadyValentine..............2 1 1 2 2 ’33 I; o)o Jennie Scott.................. .7; u Tlme. 2.591, 3.07, 3,08, 3.03;, 3.00. In the open stallion race was found the event of the day and no better race was ever seen on this track. Five horses faced the wire and the “ups” and “downs” of racing were fully demonstrated through- out the event. The Cobourg stallion TariffJunr. was at first conceeded the race, and although he showed his ability to make the time of the race, his lack of condition came against him after the second heat. In the third heat Tariff went away and little Easy Fortune gave battle royal for the lead and through Tarlff’s continually breaking he gained a good lead, but on coming home he was hotly pursued by both the Cobourg horse and the grey stallion Diver, from Uxbridge. who had only made one brake during the heat and was awarded second place. In the fourth heat with Easy Fortune at the pole a fine start was made and a liVely race insued. Diver seemed to be improving as the journey lengthened out and becoming steadier, while Tariff acted badly throughout and was placed last. The fifth heat, however was an amusing avent as the three leading horses got away well together and Tariff, going steady drove Easy Fortune to a break several times to the three-quarters, but could not secure the lead. The grey stallion was going a great heat and was right “in it.” When they struck the head of the stretch Fortune was going off his feet, and instead of the drivers of Tariff and Diver being content to trust to the decision of the judges they drove their respective horses to a break and then all three put “whip and spur” to their horses and eame under the wire almost abreasti running like “bang-tails.” The horse Axtell, who had never been a factor in in the race. came in trotting and was awarded the heat, and a dead heat declar- ed for the three other three. This decis- ion could hardly be considered a just one, as by it the Syndicate horse Diver, who had trotted a good race, was really placed outside the moneymot having won aheat in five. The race was then postponed until Tuesday.

Mr. Chip- man’ report was gone over and explained thoroughly, and the two gentlemen named agreed that the system proposed was the right one for Lindsay to adopt. They will report to the provincial board, who will evamine the plans, and if satisfactory. recommend their adoption. The meeting of the directors of the Provincial plowing match was held on Saturday last, in the council chamber. Mr. Dennis Scully was appointed chair man, and Mr. Jas. Keith secretary. Mr. Westinghouse, representative of the agri- cultura and arts association, was also present, and assisted materially in arranging the details. The date fixed for the forthcoming matches is Thursday, Oct. 26th, and the place selected is the Farrell farm, occupied by Mr. George Downey, some three miles east of Lindsay. The prize list, and the rules and regula- tions governing previous matches were adopted almost in their entirety. A number of committees were appointed to arrange the necessary details. AmOng those present we noticed Messrs. H.Curtis, E. Shine, Stewart, of \Voodville, N. Day. W. Lownsbrough, Capt. Hunter, J. B. Graham and Thompson,of Whitby. The judges have been selected. and we were pleased to see that Mr. S. Dobson, the ‘ veteran plowman of Mariposa, was among: 1 those selected .

Myles,who departed this life at his home at Argyle on the Ioth ultimo, Deceased was the youngest son of Mrs. Myles. of llartley. lie was born in the township of Hope, in January 1870, and was in his 24th year. He had enjoyed good health up to last spring, when he had a severe attack of measles from which he never recovered, and shortly afterwards he took congestson of the left lung which hastened his death. Throughout his long illness he was patient and resigned, and finally passed away, surrounded by his brothers and sisters and sorrowing mother. He was as a boy, always fond of his mother and highly apprecmtcd every little act of kindness on the part of any of his family or friends. The funeral, [from h is late residence to the Eldon cemetery, was very largely attended,and was conducted by the Orangemen of this district. of which order he was a staunch member. The Rev. J. \V. Wilkinson, of \Voodvillc, conducted impressive services at his late resi- dence and also at the grave where he was finally laid at rest. A loving mother, three sisters and six brothers mourn his untimely end. A memorial service was preached in Hartley Methodist church on the I7th ult., by the Rev. Mr. \Vilkinson to a very large and attentive congregation.

BROAD, SOMETHING UNUSUAL, as a medicine, is Dr. Pierce’s Golden Medical Discovery. And, because of that, there’s something unusual in the way of selling it. Where every other medicine of its kind only promises, this is guaranteed. If it ever fails to benefit or cure, you have your money back. It’s the only guaranteed remedy for every disease caused by a disor- dered liver or impure blood.
