THRILLING AUTO RIDE.
ComuS Club Girls Strike Rain and
WaShOut In Canada.

The automobile trip to North Hat
lay, P. O., taken by the members of
the Comus club Sunday proved to be
wetter and of more interest than was
anticipated when on the way north,
and during the day they passed
through six thunder showers which
were said to be the hardest rains
seen in the vicinity of North Hatley
in 20 years.
The ten members of the club made
the trip in two autos, leaving ST.
Johnsbury about $50 and arriving at
North Hatley at $50 where they were
guests of Miss Bernice Pierce, anoth-
err member Of the club who conducts
a tea house at North Hatley. A pleas
ant time was enjoyed while there but
the return trip home was>made over
almost impossible roads.
The exceptionally heavy rains had
swollen the streams so that water was
over the road in a number of places
In one place the party had to get out
of the Daachines while they were run
across an open spot in the road on
planks where the culvert had been
washed away, and in another spot
water a foot deep where it had
washed up over the road.
There were many automobile par
ties from the states who were wait
ing for an opportunity between
showers to cross the line. but the
rains were so heavy the majority
waited and tried to make it through
the mud. Those that did start were
considered lucky if they got through
without mishap.
The members of the club making
the trip were: The Misses Julia
Hooker, Ruth Impey, Hazel Annis,
Florence Day, Vera Mooney, Ger
trude Franklin, Vera Drew, Winni-
fred Drew, Ethel Taylor and Mrs. NJ
J. Delaney.

conscientious advertisers. This fact
was proved conclusively at the open

the Mayor officially open the Druids
Carnival Week, were astounded at the
size and grandeur of the Jones expo

No carnival which has visited here
up to this time has made such big
hit. That is the greatest attraction OF
the kind which has ever appeared in
Richmond is the consensus OF opinion
among those who journeyed to the
