StRntly Improving in Quality.
Throughout the summer the London
county council will have bands playing
in the evening in more than fifty of
the parks, open places and recreation
grounds under It's control. For this
purpose a sum of G12,50O has been
voted, an increase of $500 over last
summer; and free open air concert
will be given on two or three evenings
a week in each Of the selected dis.
tricts, London correspondent of the

"And also a candidate" interposed
Senator Depew.

on lawsuit brought before him by
Charles McGonigle, who wanted damages
to the amount of $3.50 from $. O. Ison-
berg, alleging that the latter had sold
him horse represented as sound, but
which he said was crazy"
An autopsy held ON the head Of the
horse resulted in the declaration BY
veterinary surgeon that the horse was
Of unsound mind. McGonigle sold the
horse to a philadelphia dealer after
purchasing it from Isonberg. The east
ern man claimed the horse was seized
with spells at times and would remain
for hours i'm one position. McGonigie
says he was forced to refund the Dur-
chase money aud pay the freight ON the
animal to and from Philadelphia.
