Tho celebration consisted, az Is usual

4 II p"
and Military, afterwards games and
amusements on the public square,
which is round !; they were well at
tended and passed off to the satisfac-
ton Of all who delighted in foot races,
sack races, climbing poles CREASED SO
nobody can climb them, eating hot
cakes covered with treacle and hung
so nobody can eat, but anybody can
get mellifluously bedaubed, and seeing
or doing anything that will exhaust
muscle, dirty clothes or besmear faces
and render participants generally un-
comfortable.
Though know you advocate this
sort of foolishness, Mr.. Fred. Lewis,
don't like Canadian games, but l do
like Goderich people. AS rule they
are hospitable, kind-hearted, not prone
to obtrude their opinions upon guests,
but ever ready to give civil answer
or show reasonable courtesy without
u mercenary design or intimation,
and 1 here give it as my deliberate
opinion that as place OF resort for
those who seek relief-from the mala-
rial delights of this climate, Goderich
has no superior, and the cost of living
there, exchange counted in, is not so
great as at any Of our fashionable re-
sorts, while the facilities for getting
these are better by many hundred per
cent. OF the hotels, the Maitland sit
uated OH the brow of hill which ov-
erlooks the Harbor and Lake, is the
most patronized by guests from
abroad, and is peculiarly desirable To-
cation for those who seek to rScuper-
ate from the debilitating effects of eli
mate care or over exertion at home
The premises embrace an enclosure of
II acrss, having the variety of plateau,
slope and steep declivity, with shady
groves, choice paths, rustic summer
houses and handsome grounds for
rest or exercise, the facilities for either
being ample and judicious. The house
is an old stone building formerly used
for government purposes, to which ad-
ditions and improvements have been
made, rendering it entirely eomforta-
bic and at the same time sufficiently
commodious for oil requiiements.--
The hotel most patronized by the town
ok and business people is kept 10y
our old friend Thos. Dark, and though
an unprctending mansion, has few SUI
periorsin the Provinces as place ofre-
sort for those who beng altogether
healthy, desire 10y generous living TO
become a little more SO.
At 4 o'clock the Fircmen gave
dinner at their Hall, at which ample
provision was made to reinstate the
muscle wasted in the previous exer
cises, and to which many Of the pas
sengers of the Huron as well as them
selves did full justice.
In tho afternoon the Huron went
out upon an excursion, and of all the
exuberant 'jams" on record, Code
rich steamboat excursion is the chief
an erubescent congloinoration of hu-
manity, mature aged, middle aged,
youthful and Juvenile; oil "gay and
happy" enthusiastic, and in the very
best of spirits. fnI
At Z p. NJ. the Huron left for her
return voyage, and there was rest on
board that night and sleep in abund-
ance, for many were tired. No quad
rillo band was apparent, no eight
fantastic demonstration, no "noise
and confusion no breeze to rufIle the
" aters, everything within and without
was In a state Of most refreshing pla-
cidity, With morning came n rejuvi-
nation of spirits, north wind, and
after breakfast an extenuation Of
the dance, which continued until the
party reached Bay City at 1880 p. M.
At 2 Pm. the distance between there
and East Saginaw was accomplished
and we excursionists retired to their
several homes tired, perhaps, but full
of satisfaction with what must be
,hronicled as the Goderich excursion
,f all others, Fancy.
