Owing to many other attractions this afternoon many members unable to be present but a fair number gathered at the Port Perry Fair Grounds The afternoon was all that could be desired and everyone enjoyed themselves thoroughly. A band of one of the Oshawa Orange Lodges paraded in Whitby, Brooklin and Port Perry providing Fife and Drum music of the very best. This band is to be congratulated on their efficiency. At the picnic grounds their selections were much enjolyed. A football match opened the pro- gramme, and while star players might find many technical mistakes these players evinced a splendid spirit and the good natured linemen and amiable referee piloted a good game, assisted to provide amusement and brought the exciting spectacle to a draw with no mishaps of any kind. The races were keenly contested, the starters being Messrs. Gillespie and McCullough, while the judges wel- coming the winners, were Messrs Bateman, Reid and Butson.

We went by motor car as far as North Bay, via Orillia, Graven- hurst, Bracebridge and Huntsville, The road is in very good shape most of the way, but on account of the sharp turns in the road, fast time can- not be made. Many miles of new road are being built which will straighten them out a good deal, and it is estimated it will shorten the dis- tance to North Bay by about twenty miles. From North Bay, we took the C.P.R. to Sudbury, about 86 miles. Sudbury is a live mining town in a prosperous condition. Everyone is optimistic in that town, and large nickel and copper deposits adjacent to it are full justification of their optim- ism. Quite a number of the citizens of Sudbury have become millionaires or near millionaires during the past three or four years, but we are told many of them have not changed their mode of living. From Sudbury, we took the C.N.R. Transcontinental train bound for Van- couver. This is one of the crack trains, carrying all the latest equip- ment and making fast time. In ad- dition to the regular Pullman cars and Dining cars, it carries Compartment cars and the Observation and Library car. Each seat in this car is equipped with ear phones attached to the radio set in the car, and concerts are picked up from various cities as the train moves along. Leaving Sudbury we pass Capreol and Gogama, and we have left motor cars behind us. There are no motor cars in Gogama. The country is rocky and heavily wooded on both sides of the track. It is comparative- ly level, and lumber camps can be seen in many places. There are no towns along this line except the railway towns where trainmen live, such as Foleyet, Hornepayne, Nakina and Armstrong. Hornpayne on this line, and White River on the C.P.R. have the distinction of being the coldest places in Ontario. It is 22 hours run from Sudbury to Sioux Lookout, which is a good sized town, and the entrance to the Red On Wednesday, August th, Me, J.

This town is not only a railway centre, but the second largest air base on the North American continent. Chicago only It is'quite customery to see 2b planes at one time at the base at Sioux Lookout, and it is said there are 12 regular planes carrying pas- sengers in and out every day. Nearly everybody flies in that country, and people talk of flying like we speak of riding in automobiles. By the way, Sioux Lookout has about 125 auto- mobiles although they have only four or five miles of roads. Taxis meet every train and are used a good deal. We did not leave the train at Sioux Lookout, however, but went on fifteen miles farther to Hudson. This village is on Lac Seul, and it is from here that supplies are sent to the mining coun- try. There are five transport com- panies operating out of Hudson, but 'the Red Lake Transport Company is '| the only one running regular trips. We left Hudson at 6.45 a.m. on board the "Piper", a passenger boat bound The boat is propelled by a gasoline motor and run about 10 miles per hour. It is a beautiful sail up Lac Seul. There are over 6900 islands in this lake, and all day long we were winding through narrow channels, around rocks, and over wide stretches of open water. Dinner is served on board in real bush style. The cook prepares the meal and every- one gets his own plate, knife and fork and. helps: himself. .to whatever. he wants and then finds a place to eat it. There are.no tables. We had to find a place to eat the best way we could. The distance from Hudson to Gold Pines is about 110 miles by water, and we reached Gold Pines shortly after 6 p.m. The arrival of the passenger boat each day is quite an event and quite a number of people are on the Toronto and Winnipeg. There are two splendid hotels in Gold Pines, and we went to Moore's Hotel, which had been recommended to us. mere trails, mostly sandy, and you have a choice of which way you want 'to thank their many friends for their leave at Star Office. dock, awaiting their daily papers from The streets are toe: ae als CARD OF THANKS Mrs. William Real and family wish kindness and sympathy during their recent bereavement, also for the floral tributes.
