A Wild Ride.

Everybody who has visited Mont,
Grey remembers the steep, round
hill Just sonth Of town, known as
the Trimble hill. Well, it's still
there and at the present time it is
about the sleekest article in The
neighborhood. As we were going
to say, a day or 50 ago little Warren
Campbell, son of DR.. 0. }. Camp
bell aged 8 or 10, took his little
sled under his arm, and while his
father was away and his mother
busy. slipped ont at the back door
and struck fer the top Of that steep
bill. No sooner did lie arrive at
tue breezy sumit than down went
his sled and on to it he jumped and
let all holds go. Those who saw it
described it as little streak and
said had the Flying Dutchman or
the Frenchman's automobile been
there they would have retired iii
shame behind the hill. That boy
made three of those trips down
that hill before the old folks caught
onto it, and he's still living.

The Attendance Yesterday Was Much
Greater Than the Day Before.
The Midway Attracts Many Thousands
Of Patrons and all Shows are
Excellent.
LADIES RECEPTION GOVERNORS DAY

The jubilee carnival is drawing
larger crowds than the carnival of last
year. Last night there were over ., 00o
paid admissions, which is two hun
drod dollars better than the carnival
paid last year
The country store is also proving
one Of the most profitable features of
the carnival. Last night about 3, 800
tickets were sold, netting about $3.50.
Some Of the best prizes have been
drawn, but there are many more.
Last evening there were large
crowds at all of the shows, and the
Bostock company is greatly pleased
with the patronage. The crowd was
large and good humored, but thus
far little confetti is being sold. It
seems some people DO not know that
it can be thrown during the carnival,
but It can inside the grounds.
The favorite articles this year are
the canes that shoot blank cartridges
and the balls on strings. As soon
as the latter become more Of nuis-
ance they will be tabooed.
The executive committee and Man
ager II. II. Hobson, Of tho country
store, desire every one to keep the
numbers they draw at the country
store, as it is the combinations that
draw the largest prizes. For instance
a person has to have three numbers to
draw some of the prizes. Unless all
the numbers are retained, some of
them may be thrown away or lost,
and a good prize thus missed.
This is N. @. and st. l.. DAY and
many hundred people have been here
to ENJOY the sights. The streets have
been crowded all day, and the pros
poets are for another banner day at
the grounds.
Exalted Ruler ". J. siegler, of La
Sale, Ill, lodge, is here to attend
the carnival and get some pointers for
his own carnival the latter part Of
June.

livered the address of welcome, which

Following the enrolment and read
ing of minutes, the president read his
annual address, showing that the

and has principally to its credit the
elimination of overhead writing, and
the enactment of good legislation and
the prevention of bad. The members
are urged to do all in their power to
promote the interests Of the growing
ASSOCIATION, and to see that there is
good attendance at the national meet
ing of underwriters at Louisville from
October 2lst to cath. 1t was recon-
mended that the matter Of changing
tine membership fees be referred 20 a
committee.
The committees were appointed by

price Of admission charged at the ma.
Jority OF the attractions is from so to
90 per cent cheaper than that charged
at Buffalo. This is easily accounted
for. AT an exposition elaborate build

and percentage paid, which necessi-
tates an increase in the prices charged,
and the length Of time which the
shows have to run must be considered.
When these facts are considered all is
easily understood.
