The entries were fully 250 more than any pre- Vious year. The space in the hall was all occupied, every inch, some were almost double-decked, and nev- er before was there such a diSPlay 0f horsva- cattle, sheep and swine, and‘ mind you all brought out under the mos: discouraging fair weather that could be imagined. People prophe- sied failure, but stout hearts know not such. It was not for the confi- Bohcaygoon. Oct. l.â€"Just what connection a baseball tournament has with an agricultural fall fair we have been bothering our trains for some time to fnd out. Perhaps some oth- ers might ask what connection has a decorated procession, led by the Syl- vester brass band, and followed by about 200 school children each with a Union Jack over their shoulder, to do with the BobCaygeon fair. Well,i to explain, we might say, it is one} of the attractions, perhaps the Only one, but in fact, the chief one which has been the unique feature of this fair for some years. As time passes and the years come and go the pro- cession still stays, and as the river grows broader as she nears her course, so_ does the procession of the Bobcaygeon fair grow in strength and popularity. Neither is the procession held to talie the place of horse racing as an attraction. True, we do have a little excitement on our quarter-mile track, but that you know, is but a diversion, as they say, to keep time from dragging heavily along. This is an agricul- tural fair, first, second and always. Why Bobcageon Fall Fair is Always a Success WANTED THE TRENT CANAL.

The lum- ber was. owned principally by ‘the Turner Lumber 00., Savage 8:, Co., and Oochrane. Only ten days ago. on Sept. 20, the yards of Chew Bros. situated in the centre. of the town, were destroyed, causing a. loss of over $150,000, and destroying about fifteen million feet of lumber. Midland, Oct. 1.â€"A fierce and un- controllable flre this morning com- pletely destroyed the big lumber yards of Manley Chew, M.P., for East S-imcoe, causing a loss of 'be- tween three hundred thousand and rfour hundred thousand dollars. T en million feet of lumber were consum- ed, as well as the costly tramways and docks. What the cause was has not been determined, though the blaze was first discovered at the base of a. pile of lumber, where it is be- lieved a lighted cigar may have been carelessly thrown. Happily for near- by residences the strong wind was blowing; in a westerly direction, tho- ugh it ensured ehe complete demoli- tion of the yards, Local fire fight- ing apparatus was used and volun- teers were rushed to the scene from all quarters, but the closely piled lumber heaps caught rapidly and burned like shavings. Efforts were made to cut off part of the lumber from the advancing line of flame, but this proved useless. At one p. 111. all hope of saving even a portion of the stock was abandoned, and the employes and townspeople were oblig- ed to stand helplessly by. It is tho- ught the mill may yet be saved. At no time was the town of Midland in danger, as the yards stand quite a distance out, though had the wind changed, it is difficult ‘to say what might have happened.

The result of last year '8 experiments at Yale and other points where food values were tested is that Quaker oOats has been adopted by many persons as their food on which they rely for adding vigor and endur- ance of muscle and brain. .~ 4 The Quaker Oats Company is a con- spicuous exception. It was admitted that Quaker Oats was as pure and clean as possible and that it was an ideal food. The purity and cleanliness of Quaker Oats is families to every one who has compared it with other brands of oatmeal. - . During the years in which our pure food laws have been put into effect there has been a great hurrying and scurrying on the part of the food man- ufacturers to change their methods to make them conform to the law. ” They Dldq't Have to Change.

With the coming improvements i which include the addition a: splendid gymnasium and seowferall classrooms, it is expected that the‘ ‘school will improve in many ways l and the pupils will doubtless show {the benefit of better prevailing con- ditions.

The Lindsay Collegiate Institute Will :then tank among the highest, in ap- penanceâ€"{qr it has done so in 13qu ofthe‘ students it has 1 tmmdi‘ent-ané in modern constanc- The head master at the time of the opening of the Collegiate Institute was Mr. J. C. Harstone, B.A., now principal of the Walkerton Collegi- ate. Mr. John Head was the modern language master; W. S. Milner, B. A., Classical Master, W. H. Stevens. B.A., Science Mr, and Mr. E. A. Hardy. B.A., was the youngest teacher on the staff at that time. Miss Alet'ta E. Marty was commer- cial teacher. Previous to the buiiding of the New Collegiate Institute the High school classes had been taught in the present Union school and along with these several Public school classes occupied the school. This Union school was condemned as a school building at that time, but it is still being used for that purpose, though it will not last every much larger if the present board's plans ”3 carried out. Among those present at the open- ing ceremonies were Inspectors Real- in and Knight, of East and West Victoria, the warden and members of the county council, President John Dobson and members of the Lind- say Board of Trade, and the Mayor and council of the town. Both the 0.31.3. and 0.13.3. are 'I he contractors for the building of ‘the I..C.I. were McNeeley and Walt- ersâ€"Isaac McNeely, of Omemee, and Harry Walters, of townâ€"and John Milbum did the stonework, James Growden, the brickwork, Thomas Bri'dgewater, the carpenter work, and Wm. Woods, the steamfitting and plumbing. Previous to that time their had been a high school here, but the course and the building were inade- quate and the town was falling bo- himi educationally. The Department of Education had been demanding improvements in the system and Unmatched to cut oil the grant it these were not forthcoming. Ailairs reached a crisis and the Board of Education finally decided tovbulld the present Collegiate Institute. The chairman of this board was then Adam Hudspeth, M.P. It was in 1889 that the present Collegiate was completed and the ante is an auspicious one to the peo- ple of Lindsay and also to the peo- ple of the county. The cost of the building was $29,000, and it. was for- .xnally opened by the Hon. G. W. Ross, than Minister of Education. The increase which is being“ can- summated at present was made ne- ceSSary' by the cramped conditions. Natural-1y the attendance at the in- stitute gnaw from year to year and. larger and better accommodation was required. The Government Inspector has been commenting unfavorably on the condition of the school for some time. The board at last decided‘ that an addition was imperative and‘ the money was freely granted by the town council. «1 Now that active work has com- 'rr mead in the building or an adm- tioml wing to the Zolleginte Inst! tine a. retrospective glance over the life oithe main building may be of interest. {It might first be said . howe'cr, that the addition whim is: at present going up will include! a new gymnasium, which has been bad- ly needed, besides class rooms. The estixnated expenditune is $15,000. The Collegiate institute came with the growth of» the town and the consequent demand for better educa- tional faculties. That it has per- formed its functioa to the uttermost is testified by the many brilliant stuâ€" dents it has produced, professional men, business men, skilled mechanics engineers and so one down the long line of occupations.
