There were three main attractions--the motorcycle races, the 48th Highlanders, and the sports. Speaking ¢ of the motorcycle races, The - Toronto Daily Star of Thursday said: El "Toronto motorcyclists who wer athe Port Perry Old Boys' -Re- _ Union yesterday have returned and report a good day's sport. "Fred Miles on an Indian won 'the three and five mile races, with Wilfred Morrison, on an Excelsior, second. In the ten mile race, Mor- rison came home in the front, after Miles, the leader, had taken a spill. 'Harold Armstrong, on an Indian, was. 'second; while Miles, who had pluckily femounted, finished third: ' "Archie Shuttleworth, on a Jerson, was third in the three mile race FS Pi 6 "Warming up for the five wille'race; Moore, a new rider, smashed into Shuttleworth, and both went down. Moore broke his collar bone "and smashed his riachine. that prevented him from making a better 'showing in the other races. Morrison gave Miles a red-hot argument in the five mile race. They see-sawed all the way, Miles finally wisihingely: 25 feet. - Armstrong was "only 200 yards behind.

That'is a good record. Quality counts; "Expert critics of the bagpipes like Mr. Thomas Manderson, say : that the piper of the 48th is "grand." We shall not dispute that state- ment, for we recognize that lov: of the pipes is a "gift," and we lack the gift. There is a mysterious something inithe Scotch to which the music of the pipes appeals, and it goes right to the spot like pumpkin ie with a 'hungry boy, or watermelon with. colored gentlemen. always has its admirers and enthusiastic supporters, ~~ While yclists were whizzing round the track at a mile-a-minute pace, in Jie nent Sanger of breaking their necks, yet the game went on--the The result of he extremely intrcing games was as follows:-- First Game--Linasay 5; Nghia 1. and Heaslip.

Mr. Charles Calder, ex-M.P.P. is again to be the standard bearer for the Conservative party in South On- tario. - He was thé unanimous choice of a larga convention held at Whitby on Saturday afternoon last. 000 Lp he Liberals of North Ontario have chosen J.

Varcoe, Reeve of Mari- posa, who accepted the Liberal nom- ination for the riding of South Vic- toria, has withdrawn from the field, considering that his duties as Reeve of Mariposa and Warden of Victoria County were sufficient without assum- ing any political duties. Mr. Fulton, of Lindsay, has been chosen to take Mr. Varcoe's place. 000 The Rowell temperance policy is as follows: -- 1 The immediate abolition of the bar, including therein the abolition of all hotel and club licenses and there: with the treating system. 2 Such other restrictions upon the residue of the liquor traffic as' experi- ence may show to be necessary to limit its operations and effective to remedy its evils. Local option to be waintained as a means of wiping out the residue of the retail sale where the electors so decide. 3 The strict enforcement of the law by officials in sympathy with the law enforcement, and the elimination of political inbcence from the admin- istration of the law. 4 The regulation and inspection of all houses of public entertainment, $0 as to insure reasonable accommo- dation for the travelling public. 5 New shop licenses not to be issued in the place of bar licenses abolished. ; / 000 Hydro-Radial to Go to the People Toronto Globe Notwithstanding the delay in an official assurance of a Dominion sub- sidy, the municipalities interested in the Toronto and Northeastern Hydro» Y BRANCH "\THird of June Visitors From Many Places.
