Or are the practical arts, such as General Ne A special order received b for a large loom, made of w weaving, designing of household articles, uppermost just during the depression years? In any case, the order, which gave details of pattern, color, and wood in the other articles of furniture in the room, will be filled. The Montreal woman who gave the order plans to weave new curtains for her drawing-room and other fabrics. While the work is in progress, she purposes having the loom conveniently placed in the drawing-room. To make room to 'facilitate the work and to give the loom a correct setting, the piano wil be temporarily removed. The loom, while being all that is practical, must also be decorative-or at least harmonize with the surroundings. & a ificiy One hundred and forty single men, a detail of the 1067 unem- ployed who were evicted from city hostels, trooped into the gym- nasium of the Metropolitan Church, and bunked on the floor for the night.

AQUATIC SPORTS While only one person came in on the tub race, the event provided plenty of fun. If only the tubs would have stood still while the contestants stepped' in, it would have been all right. But this: was one case where every tub did not stand on its own bottom, and the result was--number- spectators. The dog race provided plenty of ex- citement and the probability is that many more entries will be made next year for this event. Canoe tilting had many contestants and was the outstanding item of interest in the aquaticsports, . "It 'was quite noticeable that many of the prize winners were out of town folk, and generally speaking this is a good feature since Port Perry is in- viting guests and must of necessity treat them well, But the suggestion has been made that at least one swim- event be made purely local, so that out young swimmers may be encour- aged to perfect themselves in this useful art, Aquatic sports are growing in favor and the long list of events was fully carried out with the exception of the lddies' canoe race which was not run. Here is the program. The list of prize winners follows: . Swimming, 'boys under 11 years-- Raymond Welsh, S. Province, Clift Tester, Allan Johnston. Swimming, girls under 11-years-- Marjorie Wiseman, Beth Johnston, Joan Hayden. Dog Race--Kidd with his "Blitzon", Allan Colbear's dog. Tub Race--Harry Carnegie was the only mariner who arrived.

The land sports were weli contested as will be seen by the prize list which follows, It becomes increasingly evident that something should be done to fix a level place in front of the Grand Stand for these events and to have a portable fence erected so that there may be neither interruption nor danger through the horse races. The cost could be comparatively small. Such an improvement would add greatly to the comfort and pleasure of the spectators. FIELD SPORTS . «-Boys Field Sports: Donald, David Kight'~ Green, F.

AT NIGHT There was an immense crowd down town for the dancing and the midway. It is a good thing that the people were sociable, for when the dancing began there was barely room for all the dancers. Van Wagner's Or- chestra gave the people plenty of suitable music. The booths did a great business and the pictures were p happy diverson. Altogether the affair had enough in- terest to remind one of a three ring circus, and the people were entertain- ed until the "wee sma' hours".

The greatest growd ever assembled at Scugog Regatta presented a color- ful scene in holiday attire on the banks of Lake Scugog. We feel it was in every sense a success, and a delightful day. On Saturday afternoon, August 3, about two hundred and fifty people enjoyed the races and contests of the Annual Field Day of the Regatta Association, The weather was ideal, and keen interest was taken in every event. The prizes were much appre- ciates by the winners. All children competing under five years were given a treat or something. John Greenhill hurt his wrist in jumping; but we hope not seriously.
