Hp SM * Grand Toronto. . Mrs. Smith, who recently broke her 'hip, is recovering 'much better than was 'at. first: expected. She 1s doing remarkably "well - considering her age. : a These are the days of the millinery opening at O. Waddell's: "Don't . fail to see the pretty spring designs. Miss Myrtle Oldfield, of Lindsay, is visiting 'her:uncle Mr. John Powers; The death of Mrs. Richard War- finer in Fenton, Mich, last Saturday calls to mind the fact that she and her husband were residents of Port Perry pearly thirty years ago. He died in 18go. He was a shoemaker and was the man who instituted Oddfellowship in Port Perry. The local lodge was pamed after him. The remains were brought to Port Perry yesterday and * laid beside those of her late husband in the Pine Grove Cemetery To Put up a Building On Friday March 14 a special meeting of the directors of the: Port Perry, Reach and Scugog Agricultur- al Society was held for the purpose of considering the propriety of erecting buildings for agricultural Fair pur- poses, and to provide means for doing the same.

I'he shipment of these horses will | have an important bearing on' racing in Ontario and also in the West, for the reason that it will remove at least} one dangerous competitor, Grand Opera, from the slow 'pacing classes of the Canadian circuit, (Grand Opera is in rate good condi- tion at the present tite, as are all the Smith & Proctor horses. He had a short let-up after returning from the winter races: but is now jogged daily. Good local judges are of the opinion he will be a greatly improved horse over last 'season's form when he hits "the trail this season, and inthis case there is a whole lot of trouble ahead for the owners of side wheelers; that' will 'do battle for the big stake of the West this year.--Toronto World. 00 To the Editor of the STAR. Dear Sir: At the conclusion of Dr. Coleman's address last Tuesday eve- ning the mover of the. resolution of thanks to the lecturer kintdly mention- ed my name also, saying that to my efforts was due much -of the success of the series of entertainments "of the past two months If I had had oppor: tunity to reply I'should have - pointed out that the credit belonged to another source altogether, of which, the mover was probably not aware. Many of the ladies of thé town, chiefly those of the Shakespere Reading Club, made this course their own, and by their patron: age and their untiring energy in the sale of tickets placed before our citzens a seri¢s of lectures of rare excellence, They would not consent to my publicly mentioning their interest in the course, and hence my silence in the matter until now. 'But I feel. that honor should be given where. it 1s due. The High School owes a debt of gratitude to those ladies who so courteously and ficiently promoted the series of enter- aimnments. Yours very truly' Taos. H. FoLLick Public Library Report .
