The Annual Picnic at Allan Park has again passed into hiStory. On Saturday last one of the largest, if not the largest. assembled on the grounds there in the rear of the school house on the banks of the Saugeen river. it was an ideal day, an ideal spot. an ideal program and ideal sports. The past history of this institution has made it famous and the event seems to be looked forward to every year with more than ordinary anxiety. From early nocn till five or six in the evening pleasure seekers were seen wending their way to the pleasure grounds and many who hadn’t met since the last annual event on the same grounds a year ago, met again Sat- urday. exchanged greetings and clasped hands in friendship. The Hanover Band was in attendance and at tarious intervals throughout the day the air was filled with the sweet- est music. Dinner was served in the middle of the afternoon, and! those who took part in the refresh-! ments provided bear testimcny to the l fact that the excellence of Allan Park cuisine is not at all 0:: the (le-t cline, A lengthy program was next l disposed of Mr. Brigham having been; appointed to the chair. a position he} has well filled every year since we: knew anything of the Allan Park picnic. As we write from memoryi we can refer only to what was said[ and done in a general x'ay. A num.‘ ber of vocal choruses. recitations and dialogues were given by the children in a way that reflects great credit on their teacher, Mr, Currie, who has evidently spent much time and energy in the preparation. Brie“ addresses were delivered by Maj W'alker, a retired teacher who for many years was chief instructor ofj the youth of the neighborhood, many" of whom are now sending their off-1‘ spring to be instruCted by Mr. Walk-l er’s successor. Mr. M. Richaadson, of Fleshexton, the Conservative can- didate for the House of Commons, was also present and in his own‘ eloquent, impressive and convincing style. made a few remarks expressive of his pleasure in being present, and concluded with a patriotic perorarion on the magnificence of the British Empire whose flags floating about the platform roused the British feel- ings of a British subject. Mr. \V. l). Mills who taught for some time in the section was also called upon and made a short address. Doctor Taylor. of Hanover, is a good plat- form man. and in a few minutes’ ad- dress, he presented a whole host of valuable hints that every one could profit by if desirous to act on his ad- vice. The Dr. is a pleasing speaker, of good address, and possessed of an earnestness that cannot fail to con. vince. The Review and Chronicle Editors were present and each oc~ eupied a few minutes in addressing the audience, after which Mr. Gil- more gave a recital and the program i l 5 ! ! i l l l i i was ( them.

One of the greatest curiosities that has has been seen in this neighbor- hood is a two legged colt which was foaled by a mare owned by Thomas McMahon, iSt con. of Minto, on Thursday last. The colt is living and quite strong and active. Mr. McMahon at first thought he would have to kill the colt, as it would never be of any service to him asa worker. but when the crowds came to witness the sight, driving from all parts of the country, and when he was asked to part with it, he began to realize that it was going to yav its way, and sold the mare and colt to Arthur Irwin and Wm. Wilson of Palmerston. These gentlemen hate the colt on exhibition there and are going to exhibit “ Little Bobs,” as they have named him, all through Ontario. No doubt “Little Bobs ” will pay his way and make money for his ownersâ€"Arthur Enterprise. .l. B. Lucas, M. P, P., East Grey. the boy orator of the Legislature, \\ as the guest of his cousin, Mr. H.

Amid the showers of rice and best wishes for a bright and happy future Mr. and Mrs. Harris left. on the even- ing train for Owen Sound from whence they will take a trip down the lakes. i The bride wore a. gown of white chifion trimmed with Valenesinnes lace and carried bride’s roses and maidenhair fern.

Death again invaded our neighbor- hood last Wednesday and removed one of our settlers, Mrs. Isabella- Sharp, from the scene of her strug- gles where she has spent a faithful life in preparing a beautiful home for her loved ones to enjoy while here in the flesh, while sheaafter a short illness attended with compar- atively little pain, left out of the midst of slumber for the home pre pared for the faithful at the age of 68years and 9 months. Deceased was a native of Ireland, 54 years ago with her parents she came to the township of Nasa where she subseq- uently married the man of her choice Mr. DaWson Sharp from the same part of the Old Land, they then moved onto the farm on which she died, her husband preceeding her7 years. She leaves a family of seven, :three sons and four daughters, James [of Holstein. Geo. of Dundalk, and John, of the homestead, and Mrs. ,Dan Coleridge, of Greenside, Mrs. Freeman and Mrs. of the U, ,S., and Miss Mary who was with her Be sure you are right then go ahead is a. good maxim and the one our young people followed in pre- paring for a concert. They made sure they could get the right talent for a good entertainment then imo mediately announced they would hold it July the 5th in Allan’s School house. The pragram is sure to be a good one and good seating accom- modation is being prepared. 'l‘he picnic at Orchardville on Fri- day last was fairly well at tended, but not so well we are told as in former years. It was our first visit there and to us there seemed to be a good turn out. The meeting was held under the auspices of the Foot Ball Club with free admission to the grounds and the privilege of getting what refreshments you needed by paying for them, at a mere nominal cost. The dancing platform was well patronized, and during the af- ternoon many enjoyed themselves in keeping time to the music of Profes- sor Saunders on the violin and Pro- fessor S. T. Orchard and others who accompanied on the organ. The swings also were kept going, and the refreshment booth dida good busi- ness. A foot-ball game had been ar- ranged for but the Ayton boys failed to turn up and there was no game. In the men’s foot race the first second and third prizes were taken reSpect- ively by Eugene Haney, Joe Ellis and Alf Bear. Four entries were made for the five mile bicycle race around the block, the winners being Fletcher, of Mt. Forest, Brown, of Holstein and Prew, of Orchard. The prizes for boys foot race were capt- ured by Johnny Blyth, Billy Brown and Willie Keller. The comparative smallness of the attendance is attrib- uted to the threatening of rain during the morning and early afternoon. The picnic arranged to be held at the Lake last Friday is being post- poned from day to day by sad and important. events. Company No. 4, 31 Regment re- 'turned Saturday night from their two weeks’ annual drill at Niagara Camp, Captain Snider in command. The usual crowd was at the station to meet them and were greeted' with three lusty cheers from the Co. as they stepped off the train. The com- pany formed up at the station and marched over town to the front of, Knapp House where they were treat-j ed to a supper prepared by Nine Host and Hostess, Mr. and Mrs. Knapp under the instruction of May-1l or Laidlaw. Supper finished, Mr. Laidlaw made a brief address of welcome after which the Captain rose to give an account of himself and his men who were very highly complimented for their good con- duct. at camp. The Captain Spoke in the very highest praise of the good ,behaviour of the boys, not one of l whom gave any cause for complaint, nor had any member of the Company shown the first sign of intoxication during his absence. Colonel Tel- ford’s prize to be given for prompt- ness and cleanliness on parade was shared up equally between Compan- ies No. 4and No. 6, 31st Regt. Staff Sergeant Wm. Ramage also spokel briefly corroborating the remark of the Captain. Editors Ramage andI Irwin were present and in a few! words each welcomed the boys’back and expressed pleasure in the marked military improvement the two weeks" drill had brought about. The Na-' tional Anthem was sung when the Company again lined up and proceed- ed to the drill shed to put away their military trappings and don their own I clothes. Considerable satisfaction was felt in the new military arrange- ments by which the companies were allowed to drill in gray shirts, milit- ary trousers and broad Straw hats! At this season of the year under a burning sun the change would be appreciated. Colonel Aylmer on in- specting the Company had no fault to find only that one of the boys wore his hair a little too long. This isl not avery serious charge yet itis gratifying to know that our militia, system is exacting even in matters so small as to the length of a man’s hair. , ORCHARDVILLE'S DAY. CORNER CONCERNS.
