Different Conservative newspa- pers in the province are scattering the report that the Hon. Edward Blake is endeavoring to supplant Hon. \Viltrid Laurier as leader of the Dominion Opposition. Every member of the Liberal Parliamen- tary party knows such reports to be untrue. Every member of the Lib- eral Parliamentary party knows that so long as MnBlalce's health allowed him to stand at the helm he had their tull confidence and best sup- port, and every one of that party knows that Mr. Laurier reluctantly accepted the position after a pres- sure on all sides to do so. The present leader of the Opposition IS a gifted orator, he is the soul or honor, is well read on all political questions, and no man in Canada can show a cleaner record as a pub- lic man. It is true Mr. Laurier Would willingly and cheerfully give place to his predecessor if the lat- ter would consent. He knows Mr. Blake’s great ability to which he has referred in the following words :â€" “America has not Mr. Blake’s equal, nor Europe his superior.” But admitting the failure of the undertaking from almost every standpoint, people are disgusted with the daily sketches in the Even- ing Telegram. That journal ridi- cules the concern in every issue, and although the paragraphs may have been read With some degree of interest for a iew days, the intended jokes have become stale alter a week’s duration. It is difficult to say whether the Telegram is actuat- ed more by a desire to injure the reputation of the city, or to throw mud at E. King Dodds. There is little doubt the latter gentleman had a desire to make a personal boom for himself but his iailure is not the first on record, and the Tele- gram should give its readers a rest. No person need be surprised that Hamilton newspapers are poking tun at Toronto on their lack of suc- cess with their recent carnival. Even the leading journals of the Queen City could not refrain from pointing out that the whole aflair was a huge farce. After 1t was all over, they naturally ask Why was it ever allowed to take place. With the exception of two or three alder- men no person seemed at all anxious for the carnival, and as it ended in a complete fizzle the citizens were naturally inclined to feel indignant. They had been used to success on iormer occasions. and were not pre- pared tor rash or useless enterprises. What did 1 tell you two years ago ?

Thursday, July 10, ’90 It seems scarcely necessary to contradict such statements regard- ing a change 0t leaders, but to set- tle the matter Mr. Blake has writ- ten the followingletter to the Ed1tor of The Globe which answers for it- ~self: MAISONROUGE, Points an Pic. P. Q, June 30,: 1890. SIR,~ rMy attention having been 'palled to the fact that your recent article has given circulation among Liberals to Con- aervative allegations that I desire to re- sume the leadership of the Liberal party, I beg; space to say that there is not a. grain of truth in these allegations, and that I am no more desirous to resume than I was to assume or to retain that post. . ... u.” {-1 I My only wish is that the confidence and affection of Liberals of all shades may induce Mr. Laurier to hold the place which he so admirably fills I have, etc. EDWARD BLAKE. “\Var ,-" ‘ v ”Ito rentâ€"H. comp”; A.

Before the races Commenced the teams which had made the march of about five miles protested against Seaforth and Caledonia compet- iiig,as these teams stepped on the gionnds fresh from their vehicles. They ran un- der protest, but the committee decided that the rules had to be followed. and Caledonia and Seaforth were thrown out. The hose race was won by Little York in 51 seconds, prize $125; the 2nd and 3rd prizes, $75 and 3525. were divided be- tween Richmond Hill and Trenton, time 51% seconds. in the hook and ladder race the men were required to run 300 yards with Waggon, raise a 30 foot ladder and send a. fireman to the top. First, prize, $100, won by Niagara Falls, time 48 3 5 secs. Second poize, $00, won by Richmond Hill, time 50 1-5 secs. In the Hub and Hub race there were seven emries. The teams were to run 300 yards with reels. This was perhaps the moat exciting contest of the day. Rlchmond Hill got first money $50; Tren- ton took second 325. Richmond HI“ was also awarded first prize, a $25 clock. for having the best. display of fire apparatus. Aftér the mega? the firemen were invit- ed to partake of refreshments m the din- ing hall. On the following eve-hing (Friday) there was a torclilight prucesssiun in the village, headed by the Brigade Baud, after which the victorious firemen were given a banquet by the citizens, in the Masonic Hal]. Toasts were drunk, songs were sung, and the firemen received many warm congratulatiuns for their suc- cess. It. was admitted by all that the prizes, amounting to $160 in cash and a $25 clock, was a good day’s work for Lhem. ()m‘ Brigade work hard to keen up their good reputation, and they are worthy of all the praise bestowed upon them. During the evening Mr. J. H. Sander- son mad the amounts in money that, the Brigade had won in firemen’s tourna- ments as follows.
