Bandmaster loenigk is to be congratulated on the excellence of the band this year. He has succeeded in gathering to- gather a large number of good play« ers, and the music discoursed ' yes- terday was all that could be desired. The Citizens’ Band headed the par- ade in the morning. and also the parade to the grounds in the after- noon. At the grounds they rendered a number of choice selections, and many' complimentary remarks were R.S.; F. Agnew. P.C.R.; ’ John Stollard. O. ; H. Slpes, 0. ; G. Otto, S.J.C.; J. Potts, Trees: Dr. .Doe- 'dy, W. Kellett, S.B. ; S. Watt, J.B.; G. Boyce, s.w.; F. Buford, J.W.; 1). Watt, 0. Watt. The above Foresters wore their sashes and presented a. very good appearance. Messrs. /A. L. Camp- bell, Wm. McWatwrs and S, Balfour also had‘rigs in the parade. There were two comic characters. Promptly at 130 o'clock the five mile marathon, one of the big fea- tures. of the celebration, commenced at the foot of Kent-st.. and was completed at the Agricultural Park.

The calithumpian parade and trades procession did not pan out as was expected. owing to the fact that a large number who had signi- fied their intention of entering floats in the procession disappointed the management. They failed to have their floats on hand. the result be- ing that the procession was a dis- mal failure. It was led by Master Bell, the young son of Mr. George Bell, who was dressed as an Indian and riding a pony. followed by the fire wagon and the hose wagon, the members of the brigade being attir- ed in uniform. The wagons were also well decorated. andâ€"the surn- out was a very creditable one. The 1.0.F. ‘had a float and Maunder's fleur‘ mill also had a float.

There passed away at his sister's home in Winnipeg, a life resident of L‘ldon township in the person of Johns Holmes. Having a loving son‘s regard for the advancing age and comparatively poor health of his widowed mother, he rented the farm last fall. and alter the sale oi stock and implements in February. made preparations for a trip to the west to visit his sister. Mrs. J. Hor- ner, also other friends. A severe Icold contracted before his departure rapidly developed into pneumonia, and after a stern fight against the dread disease in which everything that medical skill and loving hands could do, death claimed him for his own, and thus in his 35th year he passed over to the great majority. Ill news flies space, and this particâ€" ularly sad intelligence came as a shock to the whole community of Palestine. Eldon, his old home. ‘whose sympathy goes out to the ser- rowing mother and sisters but a short three months before had been bereft of a kind husband and father. It is a true saying that the boy is father of the man, and never more truly was this proren than in the person of the late John Holmes. As a lad his kindly sympathy kept him from a too common practice of taunting or tormenting the younger or weaker children, and as he grew to manhood these virtues grew and thus proclaimed one of nature’s noblemen. Idolized by his mother, 'loved by his sisters, what wonder is it that the treasure was removed from earth to heaven. His remains were returned by the G.T.R. via Chicago, and were interred in the Eden cemetery proceeding from his MRS. SARAH WRIGHT MAHOOD. The death occurred May 24 . noon in Lindsay of Mrs. Sarah Wright. Mahood, beloved wife of Alexander Mood, aged 84 years. The de- ceased was born in County Down. Ireland. ‘ and came to Canada some sixty years ago. She has resided 111 Lindsay for five years having former- ly lived in Reeboro.
