Dr. White's car: which was proceeding north, had nearly reached Wellington St. when it struck Mr. McClintock's car.

Mrs Deshane appears to have been injured internally. Miss Flor- ence Cook's arm was hurt, The car driven by Mr. MoClingobi was badly wrecked,and "had it not been for the fact that the fender of Dr. White's car ran on top of the running board of the other car and held it down, it would have or upset. As it was the side was caved in, and both hind wheels were broken off. Dr. White claims that he did not see the other car, and those who know the doctor think that his explanation is quite correct. He is well known in Lindsay, and was probably another direction when he crashed into the cas. This is not Dr. White's first aceident. It is reported that he ran into a returned soldier last year, and that the man died of his injuries. Driving a car is.a business that should occu- py a man's whole attention, and if he cannot keep his mind on the task in hand, He should quit driving an auto. His own gafety, and the safety of the publicirequire this.

"MOTORCYCLE RACES i a arlay an ioloregele races were first class, but were not who would ; no other attraction, were at Lindsay Fair. The Results of the Contests \ Ag "First Race--Three Mile Side Car. This race resulted in a dead heat between the two Cassidys. ~ Second Race--Three Mile Open Solo, won by Friend 1st, Hands 2nd, Butler 3rd. Third Race--The Castidys tested out their tie, and this time Nelson Cassidy won. Fourth Racc--Five mile solo, won by Hands 1st, Butler 2nd. Friend had to drop out on account of a broken chain: Fifth Race--Five mile side car, Lemer won first and Cassidy came second.. - + ii : The Matched Race between Butler amd Friend was the big event. The contest was extremely close, It was a five mile race, and at the close Bufler was half a 'wheel ahead. On the straight run, Friend can out-distance Butler, but a the corners; Butler fakes terrific chances. * There were no entries for the County Motorcycle Race. : In the local bicycle race, Ben Smith came first, and Robt. Plum second. This was a race of good speed. # In the professional bicycle race Neil Munro came first, and R. A Terry second. Both these riders were from Toron. to. and Neil Munro is the champion bicycle rider of Ontario. «In spite of the fact that the financial returns were not high, it is probable that the Motorcycle 'Association 'will put on another meet next year.

This is evident from the fact that although one of the cleriss slept over the store. it was not util next morning that he knew anything of the robbery. A few articles of clothing were found at the rear of the store on Sunday, making it appear that the thieves were frightened as they were leaving. ; ~ An attempt was also made to burglarize. H. T. Thompson's clothing store, but the windows were barred and the attempt failed. Keep the Offices Divided For many years it has been customary to engage a man of all work for the corporation, He is styled Street Commissioner and his jobs are legion. In point of fact his duties are so numerous and his hours are so long that it is a physical impos- sibility to do all well. Successful work as Street Commissioner can only be done by a man who can put his whole time on the job, and who shouid have time to get a thorough grasp of the whole situation. The town would be money ahead if a proper man were employed to devote his whole time to this important work. He should not have to stop dog fights, colleet taxes, clean ditches, ete., ete., ete., ete, ete., ete., ete., ete. and so forth and then some. Let us have a policeman and a street commissioner, 'too. They - ean both pay their way. More than that each can be held re- sponsible for his particular work and would take a pride init, too. Let us keep the offices of po- liceman and street commission- er divided, and we shall save money. No man can work four- 'teen hours a day right alon ,and do justice either. to himself or his employers.
