Rising early he paddled leisurely up the river to Cross Creeks. Arrived there he deposited him- self comfortably in the stern of his canoe and set about angling for the gamy bass that infest those waters. His position threw the bow of the boat high out of the water, but that was no odds until a sudden blast that ushered in Sunday’s heavy gale, smote that vicinity. In a trice the canoe was spinning about like the tail of a weather-vane, while its alarmed occupant could do nothing but hope for the best. Just after the gale a heavy fish took the bait and added to his captor's agitation by going through the gymnastics usual with fish on such occasions. Before long the canoe had been blown over several haif sunken logs into the marsh, Where our friend of the razor clung toai stump with one arm and with the other hand tusseled with his latest catch. In the meantime the gale blew furiously. After an hour in this predicament he heard the whistle of the “Scotch Lassie” and did not fail to maize the demonstra- tions necessary to at tract the attention of a number of local sports on board.

Robertson of Mount Horeb, who has been on a short trip to Portage la Prairie, returned home on Thursday even- ing last. He reports he had a very suc- cessful trip and landed his carload of horses after a five days' trip without a single mishap in first-class shape. Mr. Robertson is highly pleased with the the country and states that it is flourish- ing like a “green bay tree.” There harvest is about ten day’s behind Ontario. While in the west he took in the Brandon fair which was very good in every partic- ular, especially in livestock. He states that the live stock was ahead of anything he had seen in Lindsay. with the single exception of the first united counties Cen. tral fair. Mr. Robertson visited the model farm and was highly delighted with the manner in which everything is conducted. He also inspected the Indian school and the home for incurables.

The kuilding was set up on a ten foot stone foundation and is of (50x40 dimen- sions. The stone-work was done by the McLean Bros. in their mechanical thoroughvgoing fashion. About 100 hands were present. Captain Malcolm Mc- Eachern and Isaac Moynes divided these on the south and north sides respectively, and for an hour the timbers went up in lively style.

Last year upwards of 300,000 peeple attended, and this year such arrange- ments are being made as will warrant the expectation of a still larger attendance. Many entirely new features will be pre- sented, while the exhibits, with an in- crea‘sed amount given in prizes (totalling S“ 5,000), will undoubtedly crowd the six hundred thousand dollars worth of build inns totheir utmost. The usual brilliant military spectacles will be given, illustrat- ing recent famous feats of arms on land and sea by both England and America, and arrangements have been made 'for an illustration of wireless telegraphy, wireless telephoning and the improved X rays.
