Perhaps Mr. Johnson could be induced to give some lessons in the summer. We understand that he has a summer cottage at Six Mile Island, and has shown considerable interest in the aquatic events at Port Perry. Members of Oshawa Yacht Clubs howed good sportsmanship when they brought up three dinghys and entered a sailing race to compete with our local commodore --Tom Harris. The wind was light and the race lacked speed, but the boats made a pretty picture. The motor boat races in the evening was an exciting event, with Mr. Schmidt, * of Six Mile Island, taking the lead," third. This is always a popular event.

The chesterfield suite was won by ~ Mr. Jas. Gibson: the chime clock won by Mr. Chas. Taylor; the blankets won by Mrs. John Weir; and the electric iron won by Mr. Leonard Bond. It is estimated that about two thousand people attended the dance and street fair at night. It was a gay scene and the crowd enjoyed the whole thing immense- ly. It was the end of a perfect day. of work to do to make ready for a performance like that. Mr. Lawrence and his committee had a lot And back of all com- mittees were President John Weir and Secretary Ted Jackson.

MANCHESTER As I was cleaning Samantha's boots last Saturday night, I got thinking of feet of different kinds and then 1 thought of the old Blacksmith shop. Not that Samanth's fect remind one of a blacksmith's shgp, but you know how your thoughts get to wandering. The old blacksmith shop was behind the hotel stables and faced that streak of pavement that leads towards Lind- say. I remember Bill Heard and Dan McLean when each of them ran it. On your left as you entered, was where the horses were tied, the forge was at the right and the woodwork shop inj the rear, and in those days a black-, smith was a busy boy, not just the! occasional horse to shoe. When the! Revere Hotel was burned down, the blacksmith's shop went up in flames, too. For a year or so the ruins were left to mar the landscape and then B. F. Hagerman built another blacksmith shop and hired a blacksmith to run it. Later he sold out to Albert Hadley and while he was there the shop was burn-! ed again and the land sold to Bill Stone. ; Next to the blacksmith shop was the cheese factory, an unpainted one- storey building. Parks and Howsam' were a couple of proprietors and inj Parks' time especially a real good business was carried on. Nearly all the milk and cream around was taken there. Eventually the building was torn down and moved near Peterboro and the land sold to Bill Stone. He also owned the to the i ~} factory and after his death his wife sold the property to the late Mr. Thos. Barrett. Joe Cooper lives there now and part of the land has been sold to Dennis McKinzey. ' Past the hotel along the Manchester to Port Perry road was a yard with two sheds standing in it and used for tying horses. It's hard to believe, now, but I've seen Manchester so thick with teams and sleighs that one could hard- ly drive through it. Next to the yard came a lane that led around to the blacksmith shop and to Bill Heard's stable. His house, which was next along the line, was situated in what is now Mr. Les Lamb's garden. It was a two-storey building and for a long time he had the Post Office there. It was burned at the same time as the Revere Hotel. Mr. Les Lamb's house was occupied by John Wakeley whose tailor shop was about where the gate is at pre- sent. Here were made the suits for the community. Mr. Wakeley moved to Port Perry when that village started to grow and the shop was, | moved away. . [ The Ladies' Aid was held at the home-of Mrs. Chas. Gerrow on August 1st. | Miss Jessie Johns is in Muskoka. . I've been there twice, and I'd like to "go again and spend the summer. | Mr. and Mrs. Jas. Masters and Jack motored to Collingwood to spend the week end. That's pretty long trip and I'm guessing they'll be powerful tired after it too. But just the same a trip like that is worth while. They were visiting Mrs. Pelch, Mrs. Master's . mother. I saw Mrs. Les James the other day. Was powerful glad to see her back from the hospital and she looks pretty good, too. : : Messrs. Joe, Hugh and Ross Strong, and Fred Lamb, went picking blue- berries in Kinmount or near there, one day last week. My stars, you don't catch your uncle risking his neck climbing over rocks looking for little berries. = By all accounts it isn't any farming country and anyway the poor cows mightn't be safe.

Ormiston, editor of the Whitby Gazette and Chronicle, presented the prizes to the winners of the various sports events. A vote of thanks to the Warden and Mrs. Christie for their very kind hos- pitality was moved by Dr. C. F. Mec. Gillivary, of Whitby, and heartily en- dorsed by the gathering.
