The Women's Institute installed li«rhts ftirough- out the park, crpcted^tubles and a kitchen, and teas were held for some time to raise money. Later a fine krge pavillion was erected at an ad- vantageous point. So far the park Ims been u.sed very little by the peo- ,^le of the village until recently when 'dhe large grounds in the park fac- ing oa Sydenham street were utilized for Softball Ksni^s, u diamond having; been made for that purpose by the yousK peoolo, and several games have already been held. Good crowds have gathered each time ^nd the pleas- Jant surroundings in the park allows one to enjoy the outing and forget tfie cares of the worl(i.

He .nointed out that a large deputa- tion had waited on the minister of highways and he had been informed then that it was much better to build permanent roads than to waste the money on repairs, as a great deal of it is being wasted. He referred to the construction of the Meaford road a few years ago, which was now in i a poor state of repair. Oil and tar- via had been used, but to little effect. The sports proper were in charge of; Prof. A. McLaren of the Guelph Agricultural College, and while per- haps the most interest centred in the elimination series of softball, the races and group games also caused a lot of amusement to those participating as well as to the spec- tators.
