We notice the Review last week 'placed the number of visitors at ,the Orangemen's demonstration at 6000. We said 7000, judging from the crowd, and having our judgâ€" ment verified by a number of citizens. Neither the Review man nor the. sporting editor of the Chronicle attempted to count, and the actual number will never be ' known, but a more respectable and orderly crowd of people was never 'seen in Durham. The Review also ,thinks “It is very doubtful if the itown could have led 200 or 300 'more than were present.” This thought seems a little overdrawn, gas. on enquiring at the hotels, Mr. FHahn. of the Hahn House, states he could have accommodated an- other 300; Mr. Black, of the Mid- daugh House, 200; and Mr. Mc- Grsth, of the Central tally 250 more with very little difficulty. It is true‘ provisions nan short in some lines, but the meals furnished by hotels and churches have been very highly spoken at by those we interviewed on the question. l Mr. J. A. Glass. now of Toronto. inventor of the “no-draught ven- tilator,” was :in town over Sunday with his wife and family. «Since leaving here be has made improve- ments in the little invention, which gives it a neater and more. artis- tic appearance, while the “no- draught” principal of ventilation is retained, as in the original de- sign. It is now made of metal in- stead of wood, as formerly. Mr. Glass, we are pleased to learn, is meeting with a fair measure of success, and letters of enquiry are coming in every day from all dir- ections. .' As may be seen lby the -use of in- creased advertising space, Mr. C. L. Grant is offering good bargains to the buying public. Mr. Grant intends moving shortly into the store occupied by Keeler 8: Son at g the corner of Garafraxa and Lamb- ton Streets, and every dollar’s :worth of goods sold meams so . much less to handle when the mov- Eing time comes. However much 'we would like to speak of the 'business integrity of some mer- fchants, we must refrain from do- iing .so. Mr. .‘xr'ant is one of the best known business men in Dur- ham, amd the public know him even better than we do. It will do you no harm to read his ad. The bus and dray business con- ducted by Mr. W. Laughead for the past three years, changed hands last week, the new proprietor be- ing Mr. John Whittaker. Having been a resident of this place for a number of years, Mr. Whittaker is well and .flavorably known, and will undoubtedly conduct the busi- ness as successfully as did his predecessor. We wish him an abundance of success. Mr. E. A. Rowe has again opened up his bakery business, and is pre- pared to cater to the requirements of the 'peOple in any part of town. Those wishing him to call with the bread wagon will kindly advise. The post office at Rocky Sau- zeen, which has been closed since the resignation of Mr. N.

Lostâ€"On or :about Monday, July 18th, ,a Chatelaine bag containing Read Our Story, “The Man from Brodney’s” “Fifty-eight years ago to-mor- row, Uncle ‘Davie’ McClocki-Ln landed in Hamilton a poor boy, without .a cent in the world, a young wife, the floor for chairs, a box for a table, the floor for his bedstead, had to do without a 'stove for two months, then buy it 'on credit, and he has lived to see the day when he could live eleven years without work, and have a few pennies left, and if spared a few years longer he will still have. a few pennies lelt to distribute a- mongst his deserving nephews and nieces. I am proud to think of it, and proud to know there’s 'a living in Canada for all who wish to work.” These are the exact words of the old gentleman, as he stepped into our office on Monday ' last and unloaded himself of a l reminiscent thought. He can’t I hear anything, so we couldn’t talk back. at him, and the best we could do was to pen down his words and give them to the public. Continu- ing his remarks, he said he tho’t it an injustice {or our Government to deny immigrants the right to come to Chad: unless they have 825 in their pockets after landing.

For :four yeans in succes- sion, Miss McKenzie has met with similar success in making a clean sweep record every time. (“The difficulties of the examination,” is furnishing a lot of newspaper copy at the present time. Of course there must be :a certain a- mount of annual grumbling, but Miss McKenzie is not one of the grumblers, The teachers who neglected their work during the year, and the pupils who spent their time in idleness, must lay the blame on some one else, and it might .as well be blamed on the Educational Department as anyâ€" where else. Miss McKenzie took no chances. She prepared her pupils xfOI‘ the Entrance work, not for the examinations, and when the papers were before them, they didn’t feel embarrassed. They knew their work, and readily com- municated their knowledge to pa- per. Ray Farquharson obtained 595 out of a possible 650 marks, and is the winner of the medal for South Grey. He was also the win- ner of the trustees’ medial, but as no candidate is entitled to more than one medal, Miss Helen Ireland being: the ’next highest, is the hap- ! py winner. Miss Alix. Edge, of! Edge Hill, stood third. When it is ' known that the [success in the. whole province [is only between i forty and fifty per cent., our citi- ' zens should be able to appreciate ‘ fully the splendid work Miss Mc- : Kenzie has been doing. ' On Friday last, two operations were performed here for appendi- citis, by Dr. Groves, of the Royal Alexandra Hospital Fergus. Mrs. Robt. Milb'urn was taken very ser- iously, and the case was diagnosed as appendicitis by Dr. Button and Dr. Groves sent .for. At the same time, Dr. Jamaieson had a patient in the person of Mr. Albert Noble, who ,gave evidence of the .same trouble, and before leaving town. the operation was performed in his case also. Mrs. Milburn‘s case was quite serious, and doubts "for her recovery were at 'finst entertained, but later reports show that she is getting .along nicely, and will re- cover. Mr. Noble’s case was not so serious, :and he, too, is doing well. He is .a son of Geo. Noble, Councillor for Bent'inck. Mr. H. E. Proctor, Postmaster at Aurora, and Secretary of the On- tario Postmasters’ Association, was in town llaJSt week, and visited the office here, as well as the ones :at Thistle, Top Cdlilff‘ Price- ville, Irish Lake, Pomona, Glenelg Centre, Edge Hill, Hampden, Allan Park, and Vickers.

It teachers and pupils would ex- ercise their powers to better ad- vantage during the school year, I the results would be different, and instead of throwing the blame on gsome other source, they would, in " time, learn more definitely the . true cause of the failures. There’s !no use mincing matters. Pupils are i great imitators, and where there is Ian indolent, indifferent, careless teacher, lacking in energy, and almost void of personality, failure is the inevitable result when the test comes. True, there is a scar-. city of teachers now, but thei scarcity would be greater if the useless ones had the good grace ‘to step out. Even the better sal- aries that are now paid to teachers will not induce them to my in the profession, when their services will be better retuunerated in other walks a! life. The salaries Must go up, or the schools will no i Of 128 Entrance candidates who iwrote at Barrie, only 46 were suc- _cessful. In sCollingwood, 123 wrote and only 31 passed. From these ’centres, a loud cry goes up to condemn the difficult character of the papers. North Bay school sent up ‘29, amd Durham 14, each school passing every candidate. We have not heard a murmur from teacher or pupils here, where for {our suc- cessive years, not a failure has been recorded. In North Bay,only three candidates .failed in three years out of the large numbers sent up. There’s something wrong with the pupils or teachers Where such low percentages of candi- dates efail to reach the standard, and the annual cry against exam- inations and examiners is doing more harm than good. The Holstein Leader has changed hands, Mr. W, J. Roberts, the new Editor, having made his first bow in last week’s :issue. His ideal is to t-urm out “one of the best papers in this part of the coumtry.” 'We all make promises like this, but the unitiated imagination oftem meets with disappointment. Theories do not always 'work out well in prac- tice. The CdlltOI‘ may be. in posses- sion of all the necessary qualifica- tions. He may write with the most touching :flashes of rhetoric; his language may be faultless; his descriptive powers may be most entrancing; and yet his readers may be tin-appreciative. It is not rhetoric 'not imagery they are looking for, but plain, local news items, 'and -’at many times, the dearth of news brings the most en- thusiastic editor right up lace to face with a real difficulty. Per- sonal items are always of interest to the readers of a local paper, but even this feature may be push- ed too far, and assume the form of small talk and gossip. During its existence of four or five years, the Leader has changed ownership 3 number of times, but :it has never been made plain to «us that any of the retiring proprietors were bur- dened with increased wealth. We do :not know Mr. Roberts, but wish him every success, and hope his constituents may give him .a very liberal .support. It costs money to run a newspaper, even in Durham or Holstein, but many do not seem to realize it. F Mr. John Hunter is an enthur- iastic bowler, and for some time has been trimming everyone who dared to try conclusions with him on the green. Nobody could hug up to the “kitty” the way John could... and he began to feel lone- some in :a class all by himself. He was like Alexamder the Great, who, after conquering all the known world, sat down on a stone and cried, because there were no other worlds to conquer. He became a veritable Goliath, and marched up and down the green sending out challenges :ior some one to fight him. But he .soon met «a David, a real living David, in the person of Uncle “Davie” McClocklin, and a {match was arranged. The result was a victory of 9 to 6 for‘Daviie, who .now holds the championship, and who feels much elated, while John doesn’t court any newspaper interviews. Rev. Wm. Karstedt, of Indianap- olis, visited his brother, Mr. L. C. Kanstedt last week. It is eighteen Years since the brothers met {or- merly.
