their white helmets, and the sailors with their

BROOKLYN, July 31.-There were twenty.
five men in Mr. Yosts rye patch Monday week
seeing three Twlne Binders at work, the
Wood, Mccormick and Esterly being repre-.
sented. The Wood and Mccormick are both
good machines, but the Wood is the highest
binder. We would advise all farmers who
have grain to bind to buy themselves binders,
as they are the grandest thing of the age.
Louis Knauer, Of Mendoza, Is the agent eff the
Wood and has sold twenty.nine machines this
season.
Last week farmers had variety of work,
Marketing, plowlng and hoeing corn, harvest
ing rye and barley and making hay was what
occupied them.

The Fest closed with two balls-at Turner
Hall and at Willis's, neither of which could
alone have Accommodated the crowd. There
was splendid music at either and dancing was
kept up until late hour.
The only thing that marred the pleasure of
the occasion or at all showed Ottawas lack
of good breeding and hospitality was beastly
attempt at smartness on the part of the Jour-.
nat paper. In spite of the tact that the editor
has no more wit and even less sense of humor
than horse, the paper has an overwhelming
ambition to play the role of funny paper.
1t made a desperate attempt at that sort of
thing at the expense of the Turner's on Mon
day In 1866, when the then Fest was held
here, certain lawyer wrote for Chicago
paper a burlesque speech of welcome which
wasput in the mouth of the then Mayor, Chas.
Delano. 1t was a very low thing to come
from city acting as host, being direct in
suit both to the Turner's and to Mayor Delano
himself that caused the bitterest feeling
among both Turner'S and citizens. 1t had
long since been forgotten, but on Monday
some one brought to light copy, and handed
1t to the Journal man. An alleged speech by
po11 a limo
The Jou1nal man conceived this one to be
surprisingly SO, and he let it out. 1t looked
like direct insult. 1t was an insult, and a
specially aggravating one under the clrcum-
stances. The Turner's were mad of course,
and the Ottawa Society especially so, as they
had reason to be; and at the concert hunted
Mr.. Kendig up and expelled him from the
hall. On Tuesday morning meeting of the
Turn. Bezirk was held at which the following
card was penned:
TO THE PUBLIC
Fully approaching the kind reception and
noble hospitality extended to us by the clti-
Zens of the city OF Ottawa, we regret that one
single narrow-mlnded individual, who, by
mere chance has the privilege to misuse one
of the fundamental elements of political liber-
ty, the free press, could not abstain from CIV
ing vent to his personal Ire, and thereby tried
to insult men who, at the darkest hours of our
Republic, offered life and blood for the main.
tenance of the most noble structure of politi-
cal and personal liberty
We are convinced that the insults heaped
upon the guests OF the city of Ottawa IN yes
terday's issue of the JOuraat are, by the best
citizens of the town, recognized as the effusion
of a small brain, and dlscountenanced as com.
ing from an irresponsible person.
