EXHIBITION Nothing but the phenomenal luck of the Yerulam Agricultural Society could have pushed the clouds away on Saturday after- noon. But pushed away they certainly were and after fierce blasts, momentary downpours and direful threatenings the sky burst into sunshine and smiled upon thelittle fair among the trees. King Sol could not afford to miss the Bobcaygeon fair. In all his journey round the world he never sees its counterpart, nor ever fails to take a good long look at the unique exhibits that gather once a year within these grounds. The Society have had good weather when they scarcely deserved it, but they deserved it this year. No Society in this district has shown more enterprise. They have pur- chased the grounds at the cost at $400 and spent $150 more in improving their track. Any society thatmoves out on these pro- gressive lines deserves good weather and usually gets it, for Probe. has an eye on fair directors.

The procession is the annual index to this fair. This year it was better than ever before. It was a. fine blend of circus, man- agarie and fair. Nor was the artistic element lacking. for some of the carriages were beautifully decorated in grains and flowers. The mill hands presented the Calithumpian section of the parade. The entries were 400 more than last Year and every class cautmned a. number of excdleub exhibits. Among the animals that, were regarded with sp~cial interest were the Merino sheep with their cor- ) muted pelts, their Persian kindred with the bulkv tails and the illustrious bison that failed to repeat his luau year's per- By two o'clock the sun was shining brightly and although a chilly wind was blowing the wounds are so flanked by rising ground and pines that it was not felt. :he live stock ruminated as usual beneath the shad‘e {ind the gaze of neatly ‘LA_-.

People of‘all the creeds and none at all, were there. No finer audience ever greeted musical performers in this town and probably no finer per- formers ever stood before an audience; But they were not fine in the same way and when it came to the performance itself the audience was outclassed. Mr. Reed of New St. Adrew's, Toronto, was the organist of the evening, and rendered several classical compositions as thev are doubt- less intended to be done. They made it evident that the new- organ is an instru- ment of wonderful resources. Miss Gunn of Toronto sang two selections. They were “In Verdure Clad” and “J erusalem.’ Both were classical pieces and the latter was in an unknown tongue. This in no way concealed the fact that Miss Gunn is a singer of exceptional ability. Her man- ner made her a favorite with the audience and her wonderful voice roused their heartiest admiration. The collection amounted to $106. -â€"Mrs. Joshua.

The futility was the topic of discussion on the street all forenoon, but no one knew who the unfortunate people were. Different names were mentioned, but it was not until Mr. Windrim went to the station after dinner to see the bodies and recognized his wife's parents that their identity was known.

Q ‘I' TWO AGED PEOPLE LOSE I‘HEIR LIVES AT REABORO A gruesome “tight met the zaze of those who were at, the railway station on the arrival of the westbound train last Tues- day morning. It was a few minutes be- hind time, and two mangled corpses in the baggage car told the reason. Early that morning Mr. and Mrs. Geo. Ruther- ford an aged couple who lived on the lat concession, of Emily left home to drive to Lindsay on a visit to their daughter, Mrs. Isaac Windrim, whose husband wox ks in Sylvester‘s foundry. The air was cold and the old folks drove along with the top of their buggy up and heavy wraps about their heads. On this account they failed to notice the approaching train at the dangerous Reaboro crossing. The engineer saw them, and a moment before the crash Mr. Rutherford was whipping up his horse in a vain effort to clear the rails. Nothing could save them. and in an instant the horse, buggy and its aired occupants were thrown into the air. The train was stopped as quickly as possible and the crow ran to the scene of the disaster. Mrs. Rutherford was dead. Her husband though badly mangled still breathed and moaned several times, but died in a few minutes Horse and rig wg_re both__destroyed. v-vwn uzul Mr. and Mrs. Rutherford owned acre farm and leave four sons daughter.
