Large Crowd Attended Maple Field Day on Saturday Maple‘s annual Field Day and Old Boys re-union was held on Saturday last and was featured by a large crowd, happy reunions of old friends, good softball games, keenly contested athletic events, horseshoe pitching contest and a concert and dance in the evening. It was a big program and it was carried out expeditiously by an able executive committee so that there was not a dull moment from start to finish. Sixteen teams took part in the soft- ball tournaments. In the girls tourn- ament Elgin Mills and the Scotch Settlement finished a tie and the pri- ze money was divided between them. North American Life team of Toronto won first prize in the mens tour-nu- ment and Ramblers, of Toronto, were second. All the games were well con- tested and were the centre of interest of the majority of the crowd. As is the case at all similar events this year the Horseshoe Pitching con- test was popular and attracted a large field of skillful competitors. After many hard fought games Neil Malloy and William 011' were declared the champions of the day with William Burns and William Espey of Elgin Mills as the runners-up. ' 3mo==o=o====ouo Midway attractions of varied de- scription were represented on the grounds and did a good business. Much interest was displayed in the prize of a ham which was offered by councillor William J. Johnson for the longest married couple on the grounds. Mr. and Mrs. Graham, of Aurora, were the winners. They have been married sixty four years and seven months, and their combined ag- es total one hundred and seventy- The splendid supper served was well patronized and the concert which foll- owed was much enjoyed. Mr. J. T. Saigeon ably acted-as master of cereâ€" monies during the evening and filled the position in his usual graceful and inimitable manner. The draw for the lucky number was made and Mr. M. Palmer of Maple was the holder of the lucky ticket and the winner of the 100 pounds of sugar. King Orchestra provided the music for the dance wh- ich followed. VOL. LI.
