Skating Uxbridge Uxbridge limes For a long time the 34th regiment {have been badly handicapped for a suitable rifle range in this county, but it looks as if the difficulty is soon to be eliminated. Through the efforts of our federal member, Major Sharpe, the govern- ment have been induced to take the matter up, and urged to look over a certain piece of ground about a mile south of town near Brookdale. One of the chief difficulties in the way of getting a good range is the inability to find suitable grounds, but this choice it is safe to say cannot be beaten for lay of land anywhere in Ontario. Major Sharpe and a government official from Ottawa were over the grounds a few days ago, and since then the government are having Mr.. Yarnold of Port Perry to survey the land. It is the intention to place three ox- four of the most modern targets, equipped with telephones, etc., at: a cost of about $1000 each The land belo to Mr. George: Kerry, of Reach Township, on whieh. an option to buy: the same for $1400 has been secured.
