Ye Editor attended the Canadian National Exhibition in Toronto last week and enjoyed the outing, as such outings are enjoyed usually. \Ve managed to keep sober and nobody bothered us. Friday was Press Day and many members of the Fourth Estate took advantage of the invita- tion of the Management to be present and accept their hospitalities. The Canadian National is truly a great show, no matter What the critics may say about it being the same old thing over and over again every year. Great changes have taken place dur- ing the past thirty years. The grounds and buildings which then resembled those of an ordinary country fair of to-day have all been changed and every exhibit is placed to the best ad vantage. The grand stand which re placed the one that was burned down since the last exhibition has been er~ ected on a. grand scale, and now furnishes seating accommodation, it is said, for fifteen thousand people. The Crystal Palace, the Administration Building, the Machinery Hall, the Pro- cess Building, the Dairy Building, the DURHAM CHRONICLE Press Bureau, in fact every building on the ground is a marvel of strength, beauty and permanency. An immense amount of money has been expended to bring this great Canadian Exhibi- tion to the fore front of any annual show of its kind in the world. To us, the Toronto Exhibition is al- ways good; it seems hard to conceive of anything where one can get a. great- er round of enjoyment and instruction cars are not able to handle the vast throngs that pass out of the gates at the close of each day’s performance; the hotels are crowded from top to bottom; private homes are filled with W whom they never saw betore for the expenditure of a quarter. Thousands and thousands of pe0ple pass thrpugh the turnstiles every day while the exhibition is on.

A very pretty event was quietly sdlemnized at high noon on Thursday last at the home of Mr. and Mrs. XValter Everitt. James St., Palmers- ton, when their eldest daughter, Grace A. was united in marriage to Mr. Robin Compton Hermon, of Van- couver, B. C. To the strains of Mendelssohn’s wedding march played by Miss McCaughrin the bridal party took their places under an archway prettily decorated with flowers and ferns, while the ceremony was being performed by Rev. R. \Valter \Vright, pastor of the Methodist Church in the presence of the friends and relatives cf the contracting parties. The bride presented a charming appearance in her bridal dress of silk voile trimmed with silk Valenciennes lace and in sertion and carrying a bouquet of cream roses. The flower girl was Miss ‘Lily Ever-itt, sister of the bride, Who also carried cream roses. cent luncheon. After proposing a toast to the King, short addresses were made by President George, President The Canadian National is a show worth going to, and the general opin- ion is that this year’s exhibit is better than any of its predecessors. The publishers were the guests of the Association, and after shaking hands with President W. K. George, to whom they were introduced by Mr. Joseph T. Clark, of Saturday Night, President of the Ontario Press Associ- ation, about two hundred of the pub- lishers assembled in the Administra- tion building and enjoyed a. magnifi- gestion seems to be everywhere. Though a time for sightseeing, it can scarcely be considered a. time for en- joyment. The crowds are too great. After the ceremony and congratula- tions the guesis sat down to a dainty wedding luncheon and afterwards complimentary addresres were made by a number present, Rev. Mr. ‘Vright and Mi:s Cunningham particularly re- gretting the loss of Mrs. Hermon from church and Sunday school circles. Mrs. Benton of Durham read a short poem composed by her for the oc- casion. expressing in verse her good Wishes to the young couple. Congrat- ulations Were also received by wire from friendsin Toronto. Many beauti- ful and costly presents testified to the regard which is felt for the bride, among the presents being a set of a dozen silver spoons from the Methodist choir, of which organization the bride has long been a valued member. The groom’s gift to the bride was a gold braceletâ€"Palmerston Spectator Another pioneer has crossed that bourne from which no traveller re- turns. It was very sudden and unex- pected. the death of Catharine Derby, relict of the late Thomas Geddes of Hampden. \The old lady who was seventy-three years of age was visiting at the home of her daughter, Mrs. Herd, of Allan Park, when the dread summons came. She was always a strong healthy woman, and was in her usual good health When she retired on Thursday night last. About four o’clock in the morning, Mrs. Herd was aroused by a noise and on going to in- vestigate discovered her mother’s prostrate form at the foot of the stairs. .She was unconscious and never rallied till she died a few hours later. It is thought she became ill during the night and started down stairs for a drink when she was sud- denly stricken with paralysis, and died from its effects in the course of a few hours. Deceased was born in Duuifrieshire, Scotland, and came to this country with her parents Mr. and Mrs. Andrew Derby, when quite a young woman. The magnificent township of Norman- by was almost an unbroken wilderness when in the early fifties they followed the surveyors blaze and settled near Hampden. She married the late Thos. Geddes and settled on a farm near the parental home. By untiring energy they plodded along through life to- gether and by industry and frugality accumulated a fair share of the com- forts of life. A year ago last Novem- ber Mr. Geddes died very unexpected- ly and in a manner very similar to the way the subject of the sketch was taken off. The marriage union re- ’sulted m a family of eight, four sons and four daughters all of whom are left in comfortable circumstances and doing well. Interment took place on Sunday afternoon last to Hampdenz Cemetery, aportion of the old homestead. Noth. ing but good can be truthfully said of the deceased lady who was industrious 1n all her afiairs. charitable 1n her reâ€" iationtostrangersandtoall in need, and a consistent member of the Prea- Ebytarian Church. DEATH OF MRS. GEDDES. HERMONâ€"EVERITT. Accidents on railroads are getting so common that many of the public are becoming afraid to trust their liyes on the train. The terrible ac- cident that .occurred Tuesday fore- noon on the 0. P. R between Orange- ville and Cardwell is another reminder. The Caledon mountains and theihorse- shoe curve are well known to travellers over the Owen Sound branch of the C, P. R. as the most dangerous portioni of the road, and one feels like breathg ing more easily after he reaches the Junction on the down trip. From Orangeville Junction to Cardwell, there is a quick descent, and to make the situation more dangerous there are two very sharp curves. It was at the curve on what is known as the “horseshoe” that the engine left the rails, dragging cars with it and leaving misery, death and destruction in its trail. The train' was made up at Markdale and consternation reigned in every home as the news flashed over the wire to the different stations along the line. The train was late on reach- ing Orangeville and rushing on at terrific speed she made time on the down grade. Additional passengers were taken on at Caledon and the horseshoe cut was neared, when in- stantly, without Warning, in the twinkling of an eye, the engine jumped the track bringing instant death to seven of the number and injuring many.

Reverends Crossley and Hunter be- gan a series of evangelistic services in the rink here on Sunday morning last. This is their first visit to Durham, and their advent to the town has been looked forward to with pleasure by all classes in the community. For years the names of Crossley and Hunter have been a household word in every home, and thousands and thousands of people have been benefited by their sermons and their songs. They are both Methodist ministers, but all their evangelistic meetings are purely interdenominational. There are no sectional distinctions in the great work in which they are engaged. Their object is to make the bad man good and the good man better. So far there is no sensationalism about their work and the absence of excitement is a characteristic of their meetings com- pared with ordinary evangelistic cf- forts. So far they have left a good impression on the large audiences that hear them from time to time. Favor- able comments are heard on nearly every hand. Some who never took any interest in religious revivals are favorably impressed with the way these meetings are conducted, and the writer was more than surprised at favorable comments from unexpected quarters. The Hamilton Herald of two weeks ago contained the following report of the marriage of Miss Mary Ferguson , an old Mt. Forest girl and ex-student of the High School. Her old f riends, of Whom she had many in this town, will be glad to hear of this happy event:â€" “0rville Runchey, of York, was mar- ried in this city last week to Mary, the only daughter of Rev. James Fergu- son, formerly of York. The happy couple returned home on Friday even- ing, and received a right royal wel- come. The bride is a member of the family of the Methodist minister who nearly lost his life, and whose wife. and others, died after attending a wedding anniversary celebration at year ago this month. â€"â€"-Rep1esentali\ 0 Both gentlemen are good. plain, common sense speakers. plain and clear cut in their utterances and earn- est; in their every movement.
