The selling 0! lots for stands on the mid-way was discussed to some extent by the members, relative to amount. of ground rent {of each booth. President Carew said the situation had to be sized up in many ways. On many occasions the Society had to wait for the operators of booths to make the money before they got anything. Bombs were dropped in Yarmouth, King‘s Lynn, Sandringham, Cromer. Sheringham and Beeston, and every- where except at Beeston casualties and damage to property resulted. The aircrafts which, made the at- tack were eVidently the same three reported as having passed over the IIsland of Ameland. off the north coast of Holland Tuesday afternoon. ,They probably started from the vi- cinity of Cuxhaven and would have had to fly about 150 miles to reach England. Mr. Williamson thought the audit- ors who made suggestions as to what should be received per foot ground rent did not know what they were talking about, as it is impossible to The admission fees receiVed at the exhibition amounted to $3,338.90, with total receipts $10,428.25 receiv- ed by the Association. An explanation was given by Pres- ident Carew in answer to a. question why the South Victoria, Agricultural Society took over the Spring Horse Show. Mr. Carew informed those prescnt that the Spring Show was al- most dedunct, and the mem ers could not handle it or receive a. grant from the Legislature. VALUE OF PROPERTY. The value of the exhibition proper- ty is estimated at $18,800.00. 1 set tie price per foot at any parti- cular scale. On motion 0f Messrs. Jackson and Wilson. the financial report was a- dopted as audited. ELECTION OF OFFICERS. The election of officers was an im- portant feature of the meeting, and Chairman Hopkins reminded all that no one was eligible to vote who had not their memberéhip fee paid. There were many delinquents who cashed in rather than drop out of the voting. The election of officers by ballot took place, when the following officers were appointed to direct the affairs of the South Victoria, Agricultural \ssociation for the nut 12 months. Mr. Connolly agreed with Mr. Wil- liamson, and thought auditors were of little importance if they did not suggest something prOgressive. MR. KEITH COMMENDED. The work of Mr. J as. Keith, Secre- tary-Treasurer, was commented upon v in the most commendable terms by the auditors, who stated in their re- port that his work was well and efâ€" ficiently done. No higher words of praise could be given an officer. London, Wednesday. Jan. 20.â€"Ger- man aircraft made their long threat- ened raid on England last night and attempted to blow up with bombs the King's royal reeidenco in Sand- ringham, County Norfolk. This intention was ill-timed, for King‘George and Queen Mary with their family. who had been staying at Sandringham, had returned to London yesterday morning to resume their residence in Buckingham Pal- ace. It is still not definitely known whether the raiders were Zeppellns or aeroplanes. Raid England-- Royal Party Threatened The night was ciuite calm, but Very dark and cloudy, which made it im- possible for the people in the towns over which they passed to distin- guish even the outlines of the raid- ers. though the whirr of their pro- pellers and the droning of their mo- tors could be distinctly heard. A Zeppelin is reported to have been brought down by the fire of a. warship at Hunstanton, a. few miles north of Sandringham. Mr. A. G. Simpson and Mr. ESTABLISHED |856 t {or the past year.

FEW CASUALTIES , The first place visited was;the well :known seaside resort and fishing town of Yarmouth, where the pecule were taken by surprise at. the sudden .visit. Two persons, a man and a iwoman, were killed and a number of other persons were injured, and much damage, to property was done. a man, a woman and a child were injured, and two houses were de- stroyed. 1 The damage done in Sandringham has not been reported. It is known, 'however, that the Royal palace -eeâ€" leaped unharmed, although a Central ‘News despatch states that a bomb .was dropped on the King’s estate. The report of the attack on Norâ€" -folk county caused a considerable commotion in London. The search- lights all about the city were busily engaged throughout the evening .scouring the sky with their rays to pick up any aircraft that might ap- .proach. Up to a late hour, how- fever, there was no sign of an aerial I visitor. The nominations and election re- sulted in appointing :â€"For Eldon, W. G. Kelsie ; Mariposa, G. H. Mark and - J. Varcoe ; Ops, Frank Graham and E. H. Hopkins; Emily, I. H. Fee and G. A. McQuade; Manvers, Samuel Stinson; Vcrulam, R. E. Thurston; Gavan, I. N. Magill; Fen- elon, W. Weldon; Lindsay, J. B. Mr. Connolly wanted to know if there had been anything gained by the new auditors. men, but this was voted down, and Rutherford Williamson, of To- ronto. was appointed to audit the books for 1914 The auditors were then appoinwd, over which there was considerable discussion. The chairman sug- greeted the appointment of local Mr. Begg said that local men would be able to do the work now, as the books were put. in 300d shape, and the audit, made by Williamson had pm. the Secretary in a. better posi- Begs 1 ‘4 Lean. nvxer have been known were it not that it percolated through this chanâ€" nel. I feel doubly satisfied, knowing that the work was done by compe- tent men. The Williamson firm is («waged by all the leading business houses of Lindsay. The audit went back 75 years, and many abrupt cor- nnrs were taken out of the old trail that went back so many years. I must say it is the first audit that gave entire satisfaction to me since I assumed the office of President? A meeting of the new directors was tion than ever, showing that all counts were right and straight. B. L. McLeanâ€"“It is money well spent. The cost. did not exceed $20.00. ’ ’ President Carewâ€"“I am satisfied with the work 00:18 by the firm of auditors. and it has put the Society in touch with information that twoul much damage, to property was done. Apparently the raiders after visit- ing Yarmouth proceeded to Cromer, where they also dropped bombs, and thence went to Sheringham and Bee- stpn. Then turning inland they made for Sandringham, dropping ex- plosiVe missiles there and at King’s Lynn, where a boy was killed, and A meeting of the new directors was then called, when committees were formed and arrangements made for carrying out therfall fair of 1915 on a. greater and gmnder basis than 978:- previously held .

The Grand '1‘:qu Railway shipped in thirteen hours ten trains of pulpwood one day last week for points south from North Bay. The Grand Trunk Railway {or some time past. has been shipping one train of pulpwood through Lindsay from North Bay, which comes via Atheriy J ct.. and passes throngh to Cobourg, where it is taken across to .the other side by ferry. A large shipment is received almost. daily from Haliburton County as King’s Lynn, Wednesday, Jan. 20. A Zeppelin passed over Sandring- ham and King’s Lynn between 10.40 and 10.50 last. night. Two bombs were dropped near Sandringham Pal- ace, all of which expioded with ter- rifiE force, but the Boyd}; residence escaped injury. A GOOD IDEA.

R;a.ching Kings Lynn the aerial visitor circles unseen over the town and dropped {our bombs, which ex- ploded with terrific detonations. People thrust their heads out of bed- room windows in surprise, asking what had happened. Great flashes of light accompanied the explosions.

He is staying in Can- ada at present as he cannot \now re- turn to his own country. The concert last Friday evening in the Parish Hall by the Church of England Sunday school was a. good success. Rev. Mr. Grem'es in openâ€" ing the program said that it was children's night and so it was. There were choruses» recitations, dialogues. songs and instmmentals, and all well rendered, showing con- siderable talent. A supper preceded the program and afterwards the scholars and teachers were treated to candies and oranges. The school then offered their ,presents, a. goodly number to the stricken Belgians, which would be forwarded at once. Vcrulam Agricultural Society Annual Meeting The local Patriotic Society has reâ€"organized again alter the Christâ€" mas holiday, holding their first meeting last Tuesday evening, the 12th inst... and again last night in the town hall.
