Some amateur pugilists of our vil- lage have become the proprietors of a set of huge boxing-gloves.

Mr. Louis Primeau said :â€"The pro- position did not suit us at all and t we relused to accept it. The Toronto :man who made it. simply came in and blustered and threatened what would be done if we did not do as he wanted us to. He tried to scare us into it. It he had discussed the matter in a proper way we would have talked it over with him but he took the other way and was advised by one of our butchers that Reaboro would be a suitable location for one of his company's stores. Of course that company has opened a store in Cobourg, but that is no sign that they will do it here. Cobourg had no real good butcher shop while Lindsay has several; and I do not think the people would forsake them for any 'that a Toronto firm can; open. If they come down and litr‘ dersell us. some of us would be shut1 out for they are a very large coma Dany and to go up against themi would be like going up against a‘ mountain. I believe we can buy and kill our OWn meat to better advan- tage than we can get it already dres- sed from them. | One day last week a gentleman from Toronto paid a Visit to the local butchers. He came on a sort of "choose-peace-obwar" mission. He represented the Davies-Harris Abat- toir Company of TorontH company that does a very large chilled meat trade in the Dominion. This repre- sentative made a very definite propo- sition to the men on whom he called. It was that they should buy all their fresh meat, with trifling exception. from his company, or it would open a rival meat store in Lindsay and make it interesting for the present tradesmen. It does not appear that either the matter or method of his proposition was particularly efloc- tiVe. At all events. this is how the locals talk about his suggestion. LINDSAY. THURSDAV.

A number of our people attended the meeting held at Little Britain for Mr. Smale on Saturday night. The people here as usual are much taken up in the discussion of politics. No doubt if the government knew they had such loyal supporters as they would find here they would imâ€" mediately send one of “their hams" The meeting in the interest of Mr. S.

"“O"' "a They have stores along the front, but can handle stun better on the main line than here; for they can send out a. refrigerator eu- ot meat and distribute it along the line. Back here the stuff could not.be shipped by the carl'owd and would not be sent in refrigerators. If they did start here they would, of course. lose whatever trade they now have with the but- chers of this town.

Blackwellâ€"I did not see the representative of the Toronto firm. He was in the store but I was out. We buy over $1000 worth of meet a. year irom that company. but do not intend to deal with them instead of killing our own cnttle. I do not think they will put in a. store; at anymte it they want to put one in they will not be stopped by the amount of meat the local butchers might agree to buy from them._ agree to his proposition, and I ex- pect his company will open a store here. The work of the meat trust in the United States shows what. big cor- porations do when they get. a. chance. They have put. the price up then and even in England. The representa- tive has given us his ultimatum and is coming thick on Monday to see what we will do. We shall not Mr. W.

He told that he was going to Peterboro 3° propose the same thing and that his compaw was determined to control the meat business of Ontario in two years. John O'Hnlloran-We have never bought anything from that company. We kill all our meat. The traveller came in to see us and I understand he is to come back on Monday. We would rather kill our on meat. A good many of the people would patronize the new store, especially it it under-sold us ; but the expense- Would be high and they would have to buy their cattle at a distance from Toronto: we are right. in the centre of the cattle district and run- ning at. low expense. might be able tomeet their reduced prim.

G LANDI N E At four o’clock Tuesday afternoon the Canadian mounted his wheel for e. fifteen-mile try-out, paced by Thompson and Boake on a motor cycle. All three were in fine condi- tion. They were leaving. the sharp turn in the last lap for the fifteenth mile at a speed of 1.25, when the driving chain of the paper broke and dragged along. McEachern, who was glued to the rear wheel without variation throughout the trial,struck the pacer, and was hurled a dozen feet in “he air and against some scafi‘olding. ' Hie collar-bone was broken, his chest crushed'in, and his left lung torn. The only .words he uttered were 2 "0h, Bob 2" uttered were : “Oh, Bob !" The men on the pacers were un- conscious of the accident, and were speeding for the second turn, endeav- oring to make aanew record, when they came upon the prostrate form of McEachem and nearly ran into the injured rider. 'file eeveral bun- dred spectators screamed frantically, and climbed over the track and crowded around the fallen cyclist. A despatch to the Toronto papers on Tuesday tells of the fatality as lollows .: "McEachern came here on Sunday last with his two trainers and paoers, Bobbie Thompson and Alfred Boake, also of Toronto, and immediately set to hard training, preparatory for an attempt to break the one-mile and fifteen-mile world's championship.

McEachern was a modest, unassuming fellow, a great rider and the ,possessor of indomit- able courage and pluck. He won many races ,in Toronto, both on the road and one the track, before he left for. Philadelphia three years ago. He branched out as a. motor-paced rider on the other side. and soon fought his way to the top. In 1900 in the six-day race at Chicago: Mc- Emchern and partner finished second, but this year with Walthour partner- ing him, he won the big event. In 1898 he won the welterweight cham- pionship at boxing, and subsequent- ly boxed a. couple of times as a. pro- fessional. He leaves a mother and a brother and sister to mourn his loss. " HIS PARTNER’S GRIEF Amid sobs, he said :- 'My best friend is gone. I would rather have lost all my limbs than have an ac- cident befall Archie. Archie and I left home together seven years ago, and since then we have not been sep- arated. I am heart-broken.’ Thompson and Boake stated that it was an unavoidable accident, and one that can occur at any time and at any place. The managers of the Colliseum car- ried him to the rubbing-down room, and laid him on the soft mats, and did everything they could to stop the flow of blood. He was conscious and moaned. The ambulance, with. two surgeons and a physician. were soon on the spot. but the unfortun- ate cyclist had lost too much blood, and passed away a few minutes after. being admitted into the hospital. This evening Bobbie Thompson" was found standing alone at the spot. where McEachern fell, crying like as child. ' PRECIPITATION IN INCHES Greatest. {all of rain in one day, 0.47 Wednesday.

As a result it looks as fresh and as beautiful as new, and I am sure the ladies deserve the praise of the whole community {or what they have done and also the support of all in their future under- takings.
