Many of the business the council, places and private residences were walk to be neatly decorated, an arch bearing Thornhill. T word “Welcome” was erected at the provided V2 west entrance of Lorne Avenue, and like amount The excursion of the Richmond! Hill Fire Brigade to Niagara Falls last Friday was a success. The weather was exceedingly fine, and even those who have visited this natural wonder time and again say they thoroughly enjoyed the trip and sights last Friday. About 180 tickets were sold, the excursionists leaving Richmond Hill by comfort- able Metropolitan cars at 6.30 am. The trip from Dal-housie by electric cars was also enjoyable, and many places of interest along the route were noted. Between five and six hours were spent at the Falls, the party leaving for home at 5 o’clock. All arrived safely in Toronto about 10 o’clock and Richmond Hill a little before 12 p.m.â€"â€"except those who missed the boat. FIFTEEN YEARS AGO From our Issue of July 17th, 1924 Mr. John Sliney’s farm, second concession of Vaughan, was the scene of a lively gathering Wednes-' day afternoon, the occasion being the raising of a new bank barn. Mr. *Clazt‘fey did the stonework, and the framer was Mr. Frank: COsg'rove. Plenty of stalwart men were pres- ent, and there was a good sprinkling of the fair sex. The captains seâ€" lected, were Mr. James McLean and Mr. George Dibb. The finish was close, but Mr. McLean’s side won by a small margin. Supper was afterâ€" wards served on the lawn, after which a social hour was spent by all present. From our Issue of July 15th, 1909' The large cl'OWd' of men, and near- ly as many women and young peo- lple, who assembled at Mr. Wm. iPalmer’s barn raising Tuesday af- ternoon, would have done credit to many a town-ship fair. It is, esti- mated that more than 500 people were present during the afternoon or evening. The bank barn is 35 by 80 feet, with high stone walls. two threshing floors, with root- hovuse underneath, and excellent stablinz for horses and cattle. The The trustees of the ViCtOria Square Methodist Church have de- cided to greatly improve their church property. An acre of ground will be added to the church lot, givâ€" ing larger shed room and very much improvement to the graveyard. The church will also receive some necess- ary repairs. house underneath, and excellent stabling for horses and cattle. The masonry was the work of Mr. John Claffey, and Mr. Wm. McKenzie has the contract for the woodwork. Af- ter everything was in readiness Mr. \Valter Ey-er and Mr. James Mc- Lean selected their sides for the final contest, and an exciting time followed. Mr. Eyer’s (north) side appeared to be leading, but when the purline plate was lifted to its place it was found that the centre mortise would not receive the tenon, so that the south men were the first to leave the building. Tables to accommodate over 1-00 people were erected‘ on the lawn to the north of the residence. The proâ€" ceedings closed with a dance in the newly erected building.

Just.at the hour when patrons were expected: to at. rive ,the rain began to pour down and dampen-ed not only the ground but also the spirits of those\ who were so anxious for the success of the party.

About 11 3.171. many of the members of various lodges alighted from the Metropoli- tan cars at the switch directly south of the Village where they formedI in procession and marched to the park. After dinner another parade was formed, headed by the children from the Orphanage at Elgin Mills, the smaller ones in autos, the larger marching in their white suits. In the parade were three bands â€"â€" the 9th Mississauga Horse, the Rich- mond Hill band, and a fife and drum band. A good programme of foot racing and other sports was man- aged without a hitch, and the con- tests were interesting. During the afternoon Reeve Trench, speaking from the band stand, extended on behalf of Richmond Hill, a warm welcome. Several others spoke on Orangeism. Fortunately the day passed without an accident of any kind to mar the success and pleaâ€" sure of the day. A few dam. later the editor got fhis d‘esnatch: “Como.

A fine programme ofi’ sports on the Woodbridge Fair grounds fea- tured the recent picnic held by the local United Church Sunday School. The c105e proximity of the church facilitated arrangements for the afâ€" fair and refreshments were served Relatives were present from Sasâ€" katoon, Sask. and Antler, Sask, Buffalo, N.Y., North Bay, Hamilton, Toronto, Gilford, Embro, Paisley, Nashville, Nobleton.
