RICHMOND HILL, Fummz, June The Toronto Telegram says: “ The ‘Omnge lodges have begun to ease resolutions expressing their confidence in those membo ers who stood by their bill when it was ibrought up in the Dominion Parliament. ,‘They also express their disapproval of those Reformer-s who voted against it. But they could hardly expect the Reformers to do anything else but vote against it. The Be- :formcrs do not get much support from the Orange lodges ; on tho contrary the Orange lodges are Tory, and vote the Tory ticket. In this way they help Sir John to carry out his bargains with the Catholics. If the Or- ange lodges-were in earnest they would very .soon have the ball at their feet, but every- .‘-body expects, notwithstanding their indig- nant resolutionfl, to see thtm all voting the Tory ticket when the .next erection comes around.

We would ask those journals to amuse and reflect on the result of their course. Our gracious sovereign belongs to that sex, 'of which the bete hair is the too rapid ad- vancement of years: and it must appear little lesé than sacrilege in the eyes of her majesty to be represented a year older than “she really is.

An- other provision regarding Sundav sale,which is looked upon as extraordinary, and an opening to grave abuse, is as follows : “ Provided further that nothing herein .contained shall preclude the sale of liquors ,at any time at a railway station to persons arriving at such station by Iailwav by My person duly licensed in that respect.” The local option resolutions, for whi<h Sir \Vilfred Lawson has so earnestly ecu- tended for years, recently passed the British House of Commons by a. large majority. The intention of these resolutions is to make provision whereby the question of granting licenses for selling liquor in any municipal- ity shall be submitted to the ratepayers, in. stead of as at present, having them issued at the will of the magistrates. The ‘bill is somewhat of the same nature as the Scott Act of this country, of which Mr. Lawson had eolleoted all the facts and workings so as to strengthen his position. The New Court House question is assum- ing a new phase. It is talked of remodell- ing, renovating, extending, elevating, refue- ing, rebacking, and what not, is hard to say. It is said that this will only cost about $40,- 000 01 350,000, whereaa a new one would cost from $250,000 to $300,000. But it must be remembered that it would then only be 9. patched up building in a most un- healthy locality, and the money realized from its sale would almost half build a. new one in a less business port of the city. The matter will probably .be settled at the comâ€" ing session of the County Council. Electricity ns a motor for railways is now discussed with the assurance that its practic- ability is quite within the region of probabili- t '. According to calculations with an in- itial outlay of 860,000 or $65,000 for eletric equipments, a 10-mile street railway line running 50 cars 16 hours can be operated for $33 a day, whereas it costs nearly {5400 it any to operate a similar line by horse power. Application to street railroads is expected to come first, but there is promise of its ex- tension to all railroads upon which steam is now used. 001. Williams, M.

In direct opposition to the expectat- ions of the most sanguine, the morning of the 24th broke over this mundance sphere with oriental splendor and npolls flooded the portals of the morning with a perfect oriflame of glory. The early part of the week had given most discour- aging promises of the success of the day, taking the weather and road prospects as the point of outlook, but the appearance of the morning dlspelled the gloomy forebodings of‘tlmse interested At its early an hour as six o’clock the village was all astir, and by nine the whole country side seemed to have poured its living l contents into our streets. Notwithstand- ; inf: the exceedingly unpleasant state of j the roads, all the pleasure lovers for l many miles, around had found their way i to the great centre of attraction, Rich- mond Hill. The business places of the village were alive to catch a penny. and the windous were all freshly cleaned and newly and handsonily decorated, and made as attractive to the eye as possible. In many places buntin was flying, and the Union Jack was seen to float upon the breeze. As we turned our eyes southward at an early hour, an immense banner or stringer had flung itself across the street in front of the Presbyterian Church, upon which was emblazoned the significant words DINNER (f? TEA and to the northward in front of the Methodist another streamer spanned the street in archlike form, bearing the superscription, DINNER, TEA, d: CONCERT. THE EXHIBITION. Of course the great event of the day was the Annual Spring Fair of the Rich- mond Hill and Yonge Street Aaricult~ ural Society. This Fair held for many years on the Queen’s Birthday, has be- come so far-famed and largly patronized that benighted indeed must be the mind of the individual who has not visited this exhibition. Space forbids our going into detail or particularizim.r in any sense. Suffice it is to say that the success which has attended this exhibition in past years and the enthusiasm of its patrons and supporters have in no degree decreased, and in fact scarcely greater success could be desired or achieved. than attended this exhibition. A few departments alone were not up to previous years in number or quantity of exhibits. Finan- cially the success was decnded, over four hundred dollars being taken at the gates alone, to which, when added the amounts realized for members tickets, the entrance fee for exhibitors; and amounts realized from other sources of revenue together with a balance from last year, places the society in a very satifactcry Financial condition. FOOTBALL MATCH. Among the events of the day was a g. ne of foot-ball between the High Seiool Clubs of \Veston and Richmond Hill. The ball was faced at eleven o’clock, the grounds of Mr. A. Law. The home club is comparatively fresh at the game, while their opponents from \Veston appear prrt’y well up in the game, and therefore it could hardly be expected that the match would result in anything else than a defeat for our boys. They played well however. and took one game out of the three. \Ve hope they will practise up, and in a return match treat the Westonians to the same sauce to which they treated them. THE CHURCHES. The constant rush in the direction of the churches all day long leads the re-' porters to turn his attention in that direction. Following in the wake of one portion of the crowd he soon arrives . at the Presbyterian church. Here he finds the ladies all hustle and life, and they must needs be so, judging by the crowd of hungry individuals who surrounded the extensive tables that are heavily laden with that which gives pleasure to the disposer and profit of the despenser. Turning our attention in the direction of an other portion of the ever rushingr multitude the Methodist church is our destination, where the same piogramme is being carried out, and thus from early rum-n till dewy ere it is one constant rush with the Indies of both the Method- ist. and Presbyterian churches. We think it would be hard to find such unâ€" tiring energy and such self sacrifising devotion to their respective churches on the part of the ladies as it is to he found in Richmond Hill and vicinity. All honor. any we, to those noble women THE QUEEN’S BIRTHDAY winil'uz tnv ”1 air Ant", 11181‘ THE CONCERT. The great treat of the evening was the Grand Sacred Concert held in the Me- thodist church. The Concert was under the nmnagement of Mr. Fred. Viarring- ton, and Mrs. Bradley, of Toronto, Miss Hardman, and Mr. Geo. Taylor, also of ’l‘orento, assisted Mrs. Bradley and \Varrington in carrying out the pro- gramme, which was, without doubt, the finest musical progrmume that has ever been presented to an audience mirth of Toronto. From the time the names of the performers were. announced through these columns several weeks ago expect.- ation ran high, and the culminating point was only reached when the spacious auditorium and galleries of the Methoâ€" dist church were filled as they had never been filled before. The aisles were seat- ed. with chairs in order to make as many as possible comfortable. It was with much impatience the audience waited for the commencement of the programme; Mr. Taylor has a very fine tenor voice, and can use it to advantage. His solos were good but in duett or trio he excels, especially so in the duett’ “ Love Divine all Loves Excelling.” Miss Hardman, has a. very superior alto voice, and con- trols it well. Her alto solo, " The way to Paradise " by Blumenthal, was higly appreciated by the audience, and other renderings in solo, duett and quaretette scarcely less so. Of course the expecta- tions of the evening were fixed upon Mrs. Bradle y, who is not a. stranger to a Rlch‘ ‘ mond dill audience, and Mr. Warring- ton. Mrs. Bradley is one of Ontarios tin- est singers, and her achievements on that evening only added to her popularity. In “ Abide with Me,” by Torrington, and “ Home, Sweet Home,” in response to an encoreu‘the pathos of her full, rich voice was beautifully - demonstrated. In Mr. Warrington’s first appearance in baritone solo, “The Sailors Grave,” by Sullivan, the high expectations of the most enthusiastic were exceeded by the reality. The rich, full baritone of Mr. Warnngton sends an electric thrill to the ‘ heart~ of every one who loves the grand in music. “ The Day is done " wa‘g rend- erding fine style by Mr VVarrington, but at no time did interest run higher than when in duett with Mrs. Bradley they rendered “ Graceful Consort ” from Hay- den’s Creation, and in trio with Mr& Bradley and.Mr.. Taylor they rendered “ Ti Prezo O Padre.” They were really fine renditions of the artistic in music. Mrs. H. M. Blight, is an accompanist of high accomplishment. Should these artists ever Visit Richmond Hill again, especially Mr. Warrington, and Mrs. Bradley, we believe they would meet with a. most enthusiastic reception. Nem ly twohundred dollars were realized. which will leave a margin of over one dundred after expenses are paid. THE FINANCIAL ASPECT. The result of the day in Richmond Hill. we believe to he most satisfactory to all interested, which could hardly be otherwise, considering the fact that there were between three and four thousand people in the village. It is estimated ‘that nearly $3000 in cash was left in Richmond Hill, distributed as followsâ€"â€" Agricultural Society $500; Churches $500 Hotels $1000. Other business places $700. We believe these estimates will be rather below than above the reality. ANTED, a. number of fictive young men, with good horses, as recruits for No. 2 Troop, 2nd Reg.
