changes were made in the rules, among the
most important of which were those relat-
ing to passes, entries and rental for box
stalls. A great many changes were made
in the premium list, of which it would be
impossible to make mention in detail. Ths
classes in the floral hall were nearly all re-
arranged and will prove much mort satisfac-
tory to the ladies than the old list.

Farewell to Row. ponnelly.

On last s lnday evening the Baptist
church was packed to hear the closing SER
mon of Rev. j. Donnelly, as pastor Of that
church. AS a tribute of respect, the Con
gregational church was closed and the Rev.
Mr.. Davies was present on the platform
with Rev. Mr.. Donnelly. Mr.. Donnelly
said that it had been his intention to pre-
pare regular farewell sermon, but owing
to his peculiar emotional nature he had fl /;
that 1t would be impossible for him TO deliv-
er such sermon, and so he had chosen a
practical theme to present those present
that evening. The sermon was very i'm
pressive one, and one which will long be
remembered by those present, because of
the very earnest manner in which II was
delivered. At the close of the sermon Mr..
Donnelly i'm few words gave brief state
ment of the result of his work In the church
Rev. Mr.. Spencer, who was unable to be
with his eyes, sent Geo. l.. Lusk as his
representative, who. In few words ex-
pressed the regret which he felt at Mr.. Don
nelly's leaving. Rev. Mr. Davies then fol-
lowed and in the course of his remarks said:
~ am not going to say good bye to Mr..
Donnelly because he is simply going into
the other room, so will say good night,
Bro. Donnelly, and If never meet you
again here, know shall meet you In that
upper and better World" Miss Winnie
Hersey, of Ionia, who has been visiting at
Mr.. Donnelly's for few days and Mr.. r.
ii. Clark, sang at the beginning of
of the service, very beautiful
duet entitled "Ol Morning Land" Thus
as Rev. Donnelly goes from his people here
each and every one bids him "God speed"
in his new field of labor. THE TIMES
wishes to express its thanks to Mr.. Donnel-
ly for many favors received at his hands
during his five years. pastorate here.

president Harrison's state.

President Harrison seems to have
been captured by the Four Hundred.
If he had been a potentate of effete
Europe he could have hardly gone to
the ball with much more pomp than
he enjoyed Monday night.
There were two menials on the front
seat of his coach, and two more on the
back seat. technically known as the
rumble. What an American going to
a dance wanted with all those lackeys
is a problem.
Then a mounted policeman galloped
along on each side of the coach. Were
the various committees afraid some
body would steal the President.
1t was absurd. President Harrison
would have made a better impressionif
he had adopted the plain, simple ways
of an American President, such as his
predecessors followed, instead of allow
ing the Anglo-Maniac -Four Hundred
to make him and themselves ridiculous
by aping foreign state customs.
There are truer Americans than the
Four Hundred.
