Adams Caoght Black Bass A most unusual catch of fish was made in the Flesherton pond at Mc- Cauley's mill last week that has the villagers guessing. Mr. Wm. Wier of Toronto caught a large mouth biaci bass there that weighed l',4 pounds the catch being made with a common worm. Where this bass came from is a mystery as none had evei been caught in the pond before. Several years ago bass fry were deposited in the Wilcock lake, south of Flesherton station, but it was not known if any of them survived. One of these must have found its way down stroam to the pond and lived to maturity. We have never heard of a bass being caught in this locality before.

There were a great num- ber of visitors from Toronto and other points and everyone met friends whom they hadn't seen for years or since the last picnic. It also gives the young people, sons and daughters of former residents, a chance to become acquainted with the citizens of their home town. It was aLso a great pleasure for us to welcome our vis itors and join with them in celebrating Civic Holiday and the festivities of the occasion._ Mary spent the week end here, the home of their youth and their many friends were pleased to see them again. At the morning and afternoon ser- vices in St. John's United church Miss Marjorie Watters of Toronto, soprano of the Old Tyme Village Quartette gave several selections that were en- joyed by music lovers. This young lady is a real artist and her clear strong voice \vith its wide range was a delight to all. Dr. F. W. Mun-ay also rendered a fine tenor solo at the morning service and greatly pleased the large congregation of his friends. In the evening the Salvation Army Band of Owen Sound rendered a sac- red concert and hymns were thrown on a screen by a lantern, all joining in the singing. Miss Watters again favored the audience with two ex- ceptionally well rendered nunAers and Mr. Murray Inkster also contri- buted a baritone solo. While the evening was chilly for those without coats the band concert was thoroughly enjoyed. Promptly at 10 a.m. Monday morn- ing the Canadian Field Artillery Band of Toronto marched" into town as they had done three years ago at the Old Home Week celebration, playing "Home Sweet Home." This band, under the leadership of Mr. J. S Wilson, will always have a warm spot in the hearts of those who were here on that occasion and again they were unstinting in providing music throughout the day, finishing up with an excellent concert on market square playing for fully two houi-s to crowds of appreciative listeners. Miss Wat- ters was again unstinting in her ef- forts to give pleasure and rendered several solos, including Scotch num- bers, which were heartily applauded by everyone. Water sports were held at the pond in the morning and every event was enjoyed by several hundred fans. Following is the list of winners in the various events: Boys 8 to 10â€" D. Scott. D. Smith.

The first event of the afternoon was a bo.x lacrosse game in the rink be- tween the Toronto Runnymedes and the Durham teams, the game result- ing in a tie 7-7. It was the first game played in Flesherton and the boys certainly gave a fine exhibition of this crowd-pleasing sport, many claiming that it was faster than hockey. Mr. .A.lbert LeGard of To- i-onto was inst'-umental in staging the contest and hopes that the young men here will take the game enthus- iastically and commence playing. Mr. J. A. LeGard acted as referee. While the score was tied Durham netted an- other counter, which wasn't ,alft)wed as it was said they had eight men playing at the time.

Lehman (nee -'Vllie Williams) won a calf in a weight guessing con- test. We doubt if she will be al- lowed to keep it in the city. We were pleased to see Mrs. (Dr.) Sproule in attendance at the picnic and enjoying fine health. Mrs. Sproule has not missed a gathering of this kind since the Old Home Week. Mr. and Mrs. W. J. Bellamy won a fine pair of blankets as the oldest couple on the grounds. Congratula- tions. FranK Irwin of Durham was pres- ent and judging by the number ot ladies he attracted he must still have a good figure. But maybe they didn't look below his eyes. Dr. E. C. Murray gave the kiddies considerable fun, using a bear cos- tume for his act The genial doctor has not the reputation of a bear, but he copied their antics to a marked degree, and the youngsters, as well as the older ones applauded. It was a great day for all and the Toronto committee is heartily thank- ed for bringing Miss Watters, the C. F. A. band and the lacrosse play- ers to town. The two committees worked well together in making the day the success it was. Little bit of music seems to be necessary in the hold-up business now Avening and Glencairn villages are now lighted by Hydro.

All Ruth's friends in the city felt sorry for her when she married Dick and settled down in a small town thirty miles out. They soon found, hcv.-ever, that Ruth had lawns and flowers which made city apartments seem very stuffy indeed. Now they welcome a chance to run out and Ruth is never lonely. The telephone is the conneaing link. It is quick, easy to use and costs only a few cents to call the city.

A softball jra:':;c was staged i.i the HPj rcquireuients for a suc- ceaalul and satisiactory trip by canoe ; suitable water, picture«juo country and an excellent summer clim-ite, can be found abnost any- where in Csnada. The in- numerable lakes and rivers make the choicf^of trips almo^ unlimited. One can travel for hundreds of miles on any of the great nvers, journey- ing from lakf to lake .ind portaiina where rapidp impede or heights icter- jrene. Having decided u^on the kind of trip to bo made, whether one requiring much effort and ex- perience, or one quite free from rapids and portages, the canoeist has only to select his route. Easy of Access .41Uiough railways and the auto- mobile have provided a means of rapill transport, there axe countless places in the quiet of the forest, out of reach of either. It is such places, approachable only by caaoo, that invite the iulventurer to par- take of tlie wonders of nature. The railwfiys and the development of good roads have however made the majority of canoe routes in Canada esvsily accessible, .*nd one need not travel f.ir from the majority of Canadian cities before retu'hing the enibarking point of an cnjoy;ible ti'ip. Forest Beauty In certain parts one may follow the streams for a long summer outing and never see a village or dweUing, yet civiliiation Ues s» cloae that return is easily possible. Waterfalls, rapids large and small. lakes of eingiiLHr beauty hidden deep in the forest., aod isLmds covered with pine and spruce trees .•ire among the interesting features encountered en route. In some plaices one may travel huodreiis of miles withwit meeting obstacles of any kind. Tbarc is a remarkable contrast be- tween the conventionahty of modem life and the full naturalnesi of Ufs in the great forest, where one may relax, amid the beaity of natural surrounding?. .K str..Q«se appeal of imagination cotom to one while fol- lowing the rout<>s oi the historic explorers and contentment prevails amid the constant change of beautt* ful scenery. Fish and Game in Abundance Ciaadjatt lakes and rivers are renowned lor the variety and abundance of their lish. Brook and lake trout are numerous, the latter often weighing from lilteea to thirty pounds while other .-species of &th are plentiful. Eastern Canada is well provided with waterways, well suited to travel by canoe. Canal systems, rivers large :ind small, rapids, tails, lakes, stillwat-ers and all the requireoienta for aji enjoyable canoe trip, .await the devotee of the paddle. Whetiier it be a cruise through a well settled region, or an adventurous journey through the wilderness, the canoeist will find an almost unlimited number of lakes and streams. The waterways of western Canada, in da>-s gone by, aasisted materially in unveiling the mystery of the great country between lake Superior and tile Pacific Ocean. Radiating from lake Winnipeg, are routes of romantic interest. Ne^ng among the nMi'jAains of the coast are .many beautiiul lakes, also streams that wind through the hills, whe«> sport for the angler and hunter may be .found.
