The Band Carnival, which had been anxiously looked forward to for some time, came off on Tuesday evening last and was a pronounced success. It is« a well known fact that whenâ€" ever the ladies of Richmond Hill take anything fm- hand, success is as‘sured, and when it became known that the arrangements for the'above carnival were in the hands of a Ladies” com~ mittee, expectations of something good were raised, and“. as the event proved, were not raised in: vain. Re- ceipts were $43.1 5. The Village Council met in the clerk’s office on February 17. The Reeve in the chair. Councillors pre- sent, Messrs. Hill, Hopper and Innes.

No article on this flower show would ‘be complete without mention- ing the most romantic and rarest of all flowers the Orchid, Queen of the ,flower world.

That night they were awakened by- the striking of the clock. Something had gone wrong with the mechanism and the chimes, instead of stopping: with the usual 12, kept right on sounding.
