The game proved very exciting through- out, both sides being retired on fast put-outs. In the first half of the seventh the Scugog team bunched their hits and managed to score four runs which made it 7-4 in their favor. Things certainly looked black for the Port Perry aggregation as they came in for their final inning. However, with a few hits and a bad fumble on the part of one of the Scugog boys, Port Perry crossed the plate four times thus making the score 8-7. Both teams played excellent ball with everyone sharing the honours. Asher, Williams and Lorne Beare stood out for the winners, while A. Gerrow and J. David were the spark plugs for the losers. Manchester comes to Port Perry on Friday night so be on hand and cheer the boys to victory. tl MMA THE LATE MRS. W. T. READER It is with sincere regret that we record the death of Mrs, W. T. Read- er, who passed to the beyond on July 17th, after a lingering illness borne with patience and christian fortitude. Deceased spent her childhood on Scugog Island. Fourteen years ago Mr. and Mrs. Reader moved to Port Perry. Mrs. Reader was a faithful and consistent member of the United Church, a life member of the W. M. 8., also of the W.C.T.U. In both societies she had a very keen interest. To the end her thought was of her church. The at- tendance at the fumeral showed the esteem in which she was held. The Bible reading and hymns read by her minister, Mr. Richards, were of her own choosing, her neighbours were her pallbearers. The floral tributes were beautiful. The family wreath, consisted of flow- ers from her own garden. She leaves to mourn her loss, her sorrowing hus band and niece, Mrs. Wallis, of Little Britain. Safely Home I am home in heaven, dear ones; Oh so happy and so bright; There is perfect joy and beauty In this everlasting light. All the pain and grief are over; Every restless tossing passed; I am now at peace forever, Safely home in heaven at last, And He came Himself to meet me In that way so hard to tread; And with Jesus' arm to lean on, Could I have one doubt or dread? Then you must not grieve so sorely, For I love you dearly still; Try to look beyond earth's shadows, Pray to trust on Father's will. FOR USE OF IMPERIAL CON- FERENCE DELEGATES.

Rain after supper prevented the continu- ance of the sports programme. The] evening was pleasantly passed, danc- ing the old fashioned quadrilles, reels, waltzes and othar of those illustrious dances which the pioneer brought with him to this country. Joseph Gerrow, the great grand- father of most of those present, first distinguished himself at the age of eighteen in the battle of Lundy's Lane. He fought under Capt. John Trull who, with his family, had come to Canada as an U.E.L. in 1794, land- ing at Port Darlington. After the war Joseph returned to Darlington where he married the Captain's daughter, Parmelia, The young couple later made their way by rough road, trail and boat to Scugog Island, where they had secured two hundred acres of wood land where he hewed out a home. They raised a family of eight--William, Joseph, John, Wilson, Lydia, Elizabeth and Phoebe. Lydia later became Mrs, VanNest, Elizabeth Mrs. Colton, and Phoebe, Mrs. Mec- Houll. None of these survive but the memory of their hardships and those of the pioneers of this country will never die in the hearts of real Can- adians. The preservation of tra- ditions such as were established by the fortitude of the United Empire Loyalists is a duty and a pride to every genuine citizen of this country. The afternoon was full of activity. The fourteen events included races for all ages, girls baseball throw, shot put for men over 50, a horseshoe pitching tournament. Unfortunately rain prevented the completion of the ball game and horseshoe pitching. When all had gathered for supper in the hall.

The business of the meeting was quickly disposed of. Mr. Wilson Gerrow and Mr. John F. Gerrow were re-elected President and secretary- treasurer, respectively and the var- ious' committees were returned. The blessing was then sung and all sat down to a bountiful supper which re- flected the efficiency and effort of the provisions committee. After supper prizes for the after- noon events were presented. A letter from Mr. Sales Gerrow, Lansing, Mich., expressing regrets at being un- able to attend, was then read. This was followed by a short address by Mr. George Gerrow, Ex-Warden of the County, in which he outlined the history of the Gerrow family. A program of music was supplied by Mrs. S. Brooks, Messrs. Wm. Van- Nest and E. O. Gerrow, The rest of the evening was devoted to dancing. There were about one hundred and twenty present representing Scugog, Port Perry, Manchester, Uxbridge, Little Britain, Toronto and Oshawa. ee MAP FOR SALE Raspberries and New Potatoes at market price.
