In Markdale a long list of games and sports were gone throagh without any casuality more than what IB common. The Calithumpians put in an appearance about 11 o'clock but gave a rather tame exhibition. The Brass Band did excellent service and were hberal in their efforts as well as successful in adding largely to the interest and enjoyment of the day. One of the chief attrrctionc was the match between Owen Sound, Base Ball Club and the Markdale Club, which resulted in a victory for the former. "We are unable to procure a list of the prizes awarded this week but will giye them next. BAZAA3. The Bazaar under the auspices of the ijadies' Aid of the Methodist Church, held in G. S. Bowes' oflBce, Mill Street, was well patronized, and toe stock was not only fancy and arranged to good advantage for in- spection, but was made up of useful articles which sold readily. The •refreshment table also did a thriving basiuesa realizingtogethernearly $40. CONCEBT. The Concert in the evening was one of the best yet given by this Society. -There was a full house and an appreciative audience. Dr. Sproule, M. P., occupied the chair with usual ease and dignity â€" the Dr. makes a capital chairman. The program was well rendered throughout, provoking various vigorousjenchores, the follow- ing taking part The Choir, Miss Mary Large, Mr. Chambers, Mrs. Fox of To- ronto, W. A. Brown, Miss Lyops, Misa Christoe, W. J. Benson, Miss Arm- strong. Want of time and space eom- pels brevity, though many of those taking part richly deserve a better notice. Proceeds of Bazaar and Concert $80.91. 000 for the ctMresponding period last year. It ia estimated that the receipts for the whtde fiscal year ending Jane SOth will be about $870,000,000. After paying all the expences of Government, all the intrest of the national debts, and all the legal re- quirements, for the liquidation of the debt, there will still be a surplus of about $100,000,000. Hitherto the surplus revenue has been used to pay off the issues of the debt as they ex- pired, but by June 80 all the debt thenfaccured will have been paid, and none will fall due for four years. It has been suggested that the bonds will fall due in 1891. amounting to only $250,000,000, might be purchas- ed now at a premium, but as the holders would probably demand from 10 to 15 per cent., this plan does not meet with much favour. What then is to be done with the surplus of $100,000,000 a year? It is a sad thing to have so much money as to be puzzled what to do with it all. A JUBILEE ODE. EDITOEIAL NOTES. â€" Mr. C. F.
