[" Established 1897 SHERBROOKE, CANADA, MONDAY, AUGUST 17, 1931 Thirty-Fifth Year, ABOUT TWO HUNDRED CANDIDATES SEEKING SEATS IN LEGISLATURE Indications This Morning Were that L\u2019Islet, Where Conservative Candidate Announced that Ill-Health Would Prevent Him Appearing as Opponent to Hon.Adelard Godbout, Would Provide Only Acclamation\u2014Week-End Saw Both Leaders and Their Chief Lieutenants in Action on Platforms All Over Province.ONTKEAL, Que., Aug.17 \u2014 In the ninety constituencies in Quebe Province today cadidates appeared before the re-turinng officers, presented their nomination papers, paid their deposits, and were officially declared candidates in the general elections which will take place next Monday.Early morning indications were that there would be no acclamations, although there was a possibility that L\u2019Islet would not be contested as the Conservative candidate, L.Berube, announced last night that ill health would prevent his appearing in the lists as opponent to Hon.Adelard Godbout, Minister of Agriculture.Intense preparations for today\u2019s nominations had been carried out for the past two weeks, with scores of nomination meetings held all through the Province.As a result it appeared that more than 190 men would be candidates.Of these ninety would be official Liberal Government choices, ninety, or possibly eighty-nine Conservatives and the balance made up of three Labor men and a number of Independent Liberals and Independent Conservatives who did not accept the choice of the selecting meetings.The leaders faced fights, in comparison with 1927 when Premier L.A.Taschereau went to the Legislature unopposed in Montmorency.Early in the morning it appeared that the Premier would face two candidates a Conservative and an Independent Conservative.Mayor Camil-lien Houde leader of the Conservatives was to be nominated in both St.Mary\u2019s Montreal, his seat in the last Legislature, and also in St.James, Montreal, where he will face Irenee Vautrin, for several years the mayor\u2019s most severe critic.The week-end saw both leaders and their principal lieutenants in action on platforms all over the Province.The Pemier, telling his old constituents in Montmorency County that he owed them his political life since 1900, asked them, if they thought he could be of any fur-ihv: ai.-istance, to send him back to power.Mr.Houde invaded Quebec City, where he continued his attack on the record of the Liberals and renewed his promises of various reforms should he be returned to power.At.St.Janvier, Hon.Athanese David, Provincial Secretary, asked his electors of Terrebonne County if they were going to change horses in the middle of the stream.\u201cAre you going to tell the experts they are not wanted and that inexperienced men are to take over?Wait :,ntil the end of this crisis and then if you want to forget oui' record and even the spirit of justice, put in other people.\u201d In reply to the charge that the Government was \u201cold,\u201d Mr.David said this was no crime.\u201cThe Opposition was born on the same day and the same hour as we were.The only difference is that we kept power and they kept the job of criticizing us.\u201d Hon.Arthur Sauve, Dominion Postmaster General, again spoke on behalf of his son, Jean Paul Sauve, n Two Mountains constituency.The Premier of Quebec, he said, \u201cby constant reference to Federal policies is trying to make you forget about the sins of his own Government.I might recall to him the :'act that the Quebec Government has been the one obstacle my Government has had to face in its attempts to help you farmers and workers of the Province of Quebec.\u2019 In the present elections there are no deferred election dates.In 19\u201d7 ;hc Gaspe election took place one week later, this due to the Govern-ment using its discretionary powers in such constituencies as Gaspe and Magdalen Island \u2018o deter elections because of weather conditions, the general elections of 192i were held on May 16th, 1927, when many roads in Gaspe were not yet open for traffic, but no such condition now prevails because of climatic conditions.As regards three-cornered fights the indications are that this situation will be much the same as in 1927.There were seven three-cornered fights in 1927 and one county in which there were four contestants.In the present campaign the indications ponit to six three-cornered fights and one four cornered fight but in the latter case, Chicoutimi county, one or more candidates may drop out, and this may also be the case with the prospective three-cornered fights.There is also the possibility that candidates hitherto unannounced may appear at the last moment.The majority of the Conservative candidates in the field are former defeated candidates, but they claim that conditions have changed.On the other hand Liberals who will he nominated today are chiefly former members.They contend that

Greek Nationals to leave the ! country within thirty days.The order was regarded as a repris-; al against the Greek Government, which, it was charged, expelled Bulgarians from I Greece without notice, despite a special agreement which stipulates that three months\u2019 notice ! should be given.DRIVER LOST CONTROL WHEN BEE ENTERED THE CAR.TILBURY, ONT., August 17.\u2014 When a bee entered her car and stung her on the chin, Miss Nellie Cowan, Detroit, lost control of the machine and it crashed into a telephone pole alongside No.2 highway west of here.Miss Cowan suffered only minor injuries.The car was badly damaged.TASCHEREAU SOVIET BUTTER SPOKE IN HIS IS CHECKED IN OWN DISTRICT GREAT BRITAIN Premier Bennett Blames Liberal Opposition for Parliament\u2019s Delay in Attending to Unemployment Relief.WINNIPEG, Man., Aug.17.\u2014 Premier R.B.Bennett, on his way to Calgary, Alta., stopped off here for a few minutes last night and told interviewers he thought trade conditions in the east were a \u201ctrifle better,\u201d but he added: \u201cI am not saying we have turned my corner.\u201d He laid blame for Parliament\u2019s delay in attending to the business of unemployment relief on the shoulders of the Liberal opposition.He charged its members with ob-structional tactics.\u201cDuring the session they called for more than 600 returns, all for items of expenditure of money voted by themselves on their own estimates.The number of returns called for is unparallelled in modern Parliaments.\u201d According to the United States business survey of Canada, the Dominiion is least affected of any country in the world by the general depression.Mr.Bennett said.\u201cIf only we have put into effect three years ago the measures to restrict dumping of othnr nations\u2019 goods that we did last August, we would not have felt the degression as much as we have,\u2019 the Premier declared.Mr.Bennett was greeted at the station by Hon.Robert Weir, Minister of Agriculture, and prominent Winnipeg Conservatives.He | said he was not certain how long he would remain in Calgary.TO INVESTIGATE I SERIOUS FIRE !

TOLEDO, 1., Aug.17.\u2014Four i Toledo banks with combined re-i sources of more than $100,090,000 ! failed to open for business this morning, while eleven saving as-! sociations ceased payments of de-! posits during the present financiui | situation.In accordance with the request ! of directors of the four inst.tu-' lions, the Stat e Banking Depart-! ment prepared to take over their affairs to conserve assets in the face of previous steady withdrawals by depositors.City police and detectives, act.ing under orders of Police Chief Louis Haas, patrolled the banking districts in preparation for any public cmcrgaici'.GRANBY, August 17.\u2014Accidents in the vicinity of Granby over the week-end accounted for the life of one man, placed three yeung ladies and a young man in a hospital and caused minor injuries to four other youths.The fatality which claimed the life of George Hayes, 45 years of age, residing at East Dunham, occurred at Selby Hill about two o\u2019clock yesterday morning.The unfortunate man was returning home in a buggy which carried no light.A car driven by Omer Piette, 20, of Dunham, crashed into the team on the road and killed both man and horse.Piete failed to stop after the accident and went to the Dunham hotel, a mile from the scene.Here he is said to have told the manager about the accident and blurted out \u201cGet a doctor, I think it\u2019s Hayes\u201d.A Granby taxi driver, Theodore Lusignan, following behind Piette, stopped at the collision, but was unable tq find Hayes.A short investigation fol-low'ed and the victim was found twenty-five feet away from his destroyed vehicles.Dr.Fuller rushed to the scene and pronounced the man dead.Medical examination disclosed that the man had suffered a farctured skull, right leg broken, fracture of the left arm and a crushed left side.Dr.George Runnel\u2019.?, coroner of the district, wds notified and the inquest was continued until tomorrow.A PECULIAR ACCIDENT To suddenly awake and find himself in a field with a five hundred pound drum of oil upon his chest, was the unpleasant experience through which William Walker, of Toronto, passed yesterday morning, a short distance from Granby.The twenty-two-year-old Toronto youth was the victim of a peculiar accident which might easily have had fatal consequences, He and a fellow employee, Max Cowan, were proceeding from Sarnia, Ont., to Sherbrooke, with a truck load of oil.containing thirty-six drums wit'h a total weight of approximately 18,000 pounds.Both took turns at sleeping and it was while Walker was resting that the mishap took place.Negotiating a curve, the truck, to avoid a collision, suddenly swerved.The support gave under its heavy burden and the drums tumbled out.Cowan escaped injury, but when : his companion was picked up, a large drum hail to be removed from off | his chest.Walker was removed to Dr.Runnells\u2019 Hospital, where he is under obsveration for possible in-| ternal injuries.Another accident which might : have had grave consequences occurred this morning between Granby j and Abbotsford when a car conveying six young people ran into the ! ditch and overturned.The six i youths, Norman Brock and his bro-I ther, Charles, and Kenneth Ingalls, j of Foster, accompanied by the Misses Wenda Zeltmer, Ellen and Agnes Quinn, of Knowlton, were returning from Montreal, where the I young Indies had been visiting their mothers.A defect in the steering gear caused the vehicle to take to the ditch and overturn.Miss Zeltmer was the most seriously injured.She received a bad cut on the head which required seven-ten stitches to close.The other two girls were cut and bruised about the head and rface, while the young men semly ever since 1900.\u201cI owe you what was my future in 1900\u201d, said Mr.Taschereau at St.Fereol.\u201cAnd I owe you my present.If- you think I can be of 'any further assistance to you, send me back to power.\u201d As Premier of Quebec he had kept his promises to the people, declared Mr.Taschereau.The sum of $1,292,- 000\thad been spent by the Government on the good roads of Montmorency during recent years.As for a loan to farmers, he announced the interest rate would be reduced from 1\tsix and a hajf to five per cent.He had arranged for the construction of I bridges in the province and particularly of a large one between the | Beaupre coast and the Island of Orleans which would do something | to relieve the unemployment situa-| tion.Similarly he had reduced taxa-! tion on the lumber industry in order ! to increase production next winter.Speaking at St.Fereol, Premier Taschereau emphatically denied a report that he had received money j from the Beauharnois organization.If persons responsible for the report had coux-age enough to sign their | statements in the newspapers, said ! the Premier, he would sue them be- have taken it place \u201cThe Russian dream of staging under the Five Year Plan a comeback on the British market appears to have been shattered as far as this season is concerned,\u201d says the Empire Dairy Council.; \u201cOf 20,000 tons, valued at more than $10,000,000, which it was confidently forecast would be Russia\u2019s contribution to the British butter market this year so far only 7,300 t AdamS.She spent several years at demon- Pi-ot L.-IcKaj, ot .Non., nut.decent guests of Mr.and Mrs.strator for the Quebec Women\u2019s In- weIe ;R t0^!Lx\\f.'Walter Locke were Mr.and Mrs.stitute, and is well known in the Recent gues.s o- Mr.and \u2022 Jobn Cutting, Mr.E.Cutting, of: \"\u2018lb Tf EMr.rF^n^ams, of Rcdville.^>^th, of m7* Que.; Mr!\t^ °f ^fcï.^ Mr.and Mrs.Harry Graham and family and Mr.W.D.Graham were j Sistey Apollonie, of Academie j Ste.Marie, Sherbrooke, and Sister j Symphrien, of P.ichmond, spent Friday, August 14th, the guests of Mr.and Mrs.J.B.Boisvert.Bro.Vital, of Pointe Aux Trembles, is the guest of his parents, Mr.visiting -relatives in Colebrooke, N.j arid .Mrs.Alex Defossie.H.recently.Mr.and Mrs.J.L.Pope were Mr.and Mrs.Elbert Mass., formerly of this place, is Mrs.Fos\t,,\t_ spending an indefinite time in town.Desmond, of Ottawa; Mrs.^eu-e the guest of relatives and friends.Mornsette.Ox Att.eboro, -Ia5.s;; Mr.and Mrs.A.J.Betts ar.d -Irs.George Heathcote of Provid-daughter.Vera.Mrs.Jas.ToWers îRce.R.I.; Mrs.Addle 'apee, M and Miss Myrtle Waldron were Coaticook, recently.U Bert Vance and son, Galen, Mrs.Mae Morrisette and Master Garth MAGOG HATLEY Rev.and Mrs.T.Knowles, Miss Doris and Master Douglas Knowles, of Iroquois, Ont., were calling on friends here recently.Mr.and Mrs.Thomas H.Graham and son, daughter and niece,, Miss Paton, of Arundel, Que., were guests at the home of Mr.and Mrs.Harry Graham on August 8.Mrs.Charles McBurney, of Montreal, is a guest at the home of Mr.John McBurney.Mr.and Mrs.J.L.Pope, Mrs.Margaret Lowery, Miss M.J.Wilson Miss Bertha Mountain, of Richmond, spent August 14th, with Miss M.E.Griffith.Mr.Wm.Murray had the misfortune to slip and fall down stairs.Mrs.Mills accompanied Mr.and Mrs.Harris back to Montreal on Thursday, where she will remain for about two weeks for treatment at the Montreal General Hospital.Mr.and Mrs.E.Desmarais and family, of Quebec City, are the guests of Mrs.Desmarais\u2019 parents, Mr.and Mrs.Wm.Desmarais for a few days.Mr.and Mrs.E.Hall, of Massachusetts, are the guests of Mrs.Hall\u2019s sister, Mrs., H.Jones for a few days.Mr.and Mrs.Honey and Mr.and Mrs.Gillispie, of Abbotsford, were recent guests of Mr.and Mrs.J.Watson.Miss E.Honey has returned to Live Stock - Agriculture NO ENTRIES WILL BE ACCEPTED AFTER AUGUST 26TH.For prize list and ail information address SYDNEY E.FRANCIS, General Manager.6 DAYS and 5 NIGHTS of ENTERTAINMENT RACES - AMUSEMENTS POULTRY - LIVE STOCK FLOWERS HORSE SHOW - DOG SHOW J.H.BLUE, President.J.S.TETREAULT, Vice-Pres.SHERBROOKE FAIR.Aug.29 to Sept.5 SCOTSTOWN SUCCESSFUL PUPILS The following pupils of the Scots- Kill Flies with Laboratory Tested FLY-TOX MADE IN CANADA On Sale Everywhere wj\tv* on IT-\t\u2022 »* \u2022 *-\u2022 v.\t«ui* o\u2019-' tly passed by the^members of | Donald, who have been guests at the United Church Young People\u2019s home of Mr.and Mrs.Wm.Murray, Recent guests at the home of Mr.and Mrs.N.J.Jenks, Bellevue Morrisette, of North Hatlev; Mrs.I street, were Mrs.Marjorie Bueh-We'ley Lowell and Miss Marion ianan, Mr.and Mrs.George Buch-Lcweli, of Waterville, and Miss anan and baby, Arthur, Mr.and Phyllis Burchell.of Stanstead.Mrs.Stevenson, the Misses Marjorie A period of Forty Hours' Devc- \u2018 Mrs.D.V.Little has returned to j and Constance Findlay, of Danville, tion, has been held at St.Wilfrid\u2019shome, after being confined to Recent week-end guests at the Church, Kir.gseroft.\t_\t; her room at the home of her daugh- home of Mr.and Mrs.John Gauthier.Rev.Canon ^ Murray, of Three\tter)\tj>oy Jd.Smith,\tfor\tthe; Main street, were Mr.H.Coulombe, R.vers, whose_ .etter f commend-\tpact two weeks.\tMr.and Mrs.Gordon, Mr.and Mrs.\tj and Mr.Henry Wilson were calling ation appeared in a recent issue of\t' y£r.\tpat Burbank is\tvisiting\tH.Spiller and Mr.Hall, of Gorham,\ton friends in Norton Mills, Vt., and the Record, was for some years in-j friends\tin SawvervUie.\tN.H., and Miss Evelyn Mason and\t' Colebrooke, N.H., on .August 5.cumber: of the parish of St.Jam- Dr.and Mrs.'C.L.Brown, Mr.Mr.Synter, of Berlin, N.H.\tMrs.Mary E.McVetty, of Cook- es\u2019 and St.George s.Ayer\u2019s Cliff, ig c.Brown and Mrs.Worthen and1 Mr.Campbell Boright is visiting , shire, spent a few days here with Mrs.(Rev.)

House of Commons, July 8th, 1931, ! concerning the approaching World ; Disarmament Conference, we solemnly and confidently appeal to the ! Prime Minister to use his great in- ! fluence to secure that Canada shall j be represented at the said confer- ence by the a non-partizan group, of men already known to be devoted to the cause of peace and to the maintenance of peace by non-violent means.Canada\u2019s natural contribution to the World Disarmament Conference is moral, not technical.Canada is not a great military power; it is her maintenance of peace between different races within her own borders, and her consistent appeal to law and conference, for the settlement of differences with her neighbours that give her the right to be heard.The appointment of Canadian representatives, whose influence is rather moral and intellectual than political and military, would be both consonant with the Canadian situation and of most value to the Conference.\u201cGreat multitudes in Canada and in other lands, oppressed by poverty and foreboding, will be heartened by a signal demonstration of the determination of the Prime Minister to make a notable contribution to the cause of disarmament and the abolition of war.\u201cWe would only add that Canada has, on several occasions, been most solemnly pledged to the policy of peace by non-violent means, and we are deeply concerned for the national honor.\u201d VALE PERKINS Mrs.Martha Leach, of Hudson, Mass., Mrs.S.Rice and four daughters, of Niagara Falls, Ont., are guests of Mr.and Mrs.Homer Gardner.Mr.and Mrs.Homer Geer and daughter,' Evelyn, of Boston, Mass., were calling on friends recently.Mrs.Jane George has gone to spend a few days at Georgeville with her son and family.Maurice Gardner is spending a week in Niagara Falls with his grandparents, Mr.and Mrs.Thomas James.Wiiy .Jones never feels tired r MY ATE V IJ, Miss Mary McLaughlin, of Mont-; ^rs- Jam«s Marshall on Wednes- Mrs.Ernest Rodgers and son,; ErlowRon motored to Waterloo on real, who has been spending her va-\tafternoon.The Guild took in Clayton, of Lachute, arc guests ot ^nndav August 10.cation in Warden with her grand-¦ f?-\u201d5- A door Pnze was \"\u2019on by Mrs.: Mr.and Mrs.Luke McKcnney for a i Mp./ Geo Crittenden, Mr.Han-mother, Mrs.Marston, and mother,!

in every party, excitable and unimportant persons unused to the amenities of public life.But neither of the parties seem to realize that an interjection of Federal affairs into a Provincial campaign is like entertaining the parson in the cellar.There is no relavance, no point of contact for comparison.Some Liberals of lesser vision do not realize that the Bennett administration at Ottawa is still in the fir?t phase of its hopeful popularity, and that in dragging their Federal warrior; into the field they are as Don Quixote, tilting with their lances against the old windmill.The Conservatives engage in wild denunciation ind promises of even- conceivable nature, prodigious md prodigal promises such as would indicate small hope of their ever being called upon to perform them.Sitting in the obsen-er\u2019s chair, with a fairplay hope that the Conservatives may have a sufficient number in the new House to be able to select a competent leader, and thus be able to formulate a more healthful opposition, we find this hope fading away because of the lack of organization and the Utopian ideas put forth on a sedative platform.THE BUSY TRUCK THAT HURTS THE RAILWAY S.Truck-owners pay a fairly heavy license fee for their cars, and they share a large payment of the gasoline tax.It has been suggested that they are under-taxed as common carriers in comparison with the railways.Every truck-owner is paying a portion of the debt incurred by Governments and municipalities in the original building of the railway right-of-way.The original capital or cash outlay of the railways would not pay for their roadbeds.They were helped by grants and by bonuses.Raise the rates on truck; for public service, and every shipper would own his own private truck and demand a fair deal, and a square adjustment.That is not the way out.The advantages of the truck over the train should be studied, and adjustments made to overcome them.Wages paid on the railways are in excess of those paid by the trucks.Each express train must have a conductor and train man, an engineer and fireman, even on a short spur line which may run from Sherbrooke to Beebe.A truck will carry as big a load with a chauffeur at five dollars a day for the driver, and three dollars for the gasoline.The train will cost one hundred dollars a day to operate.True, the railway man has the better job, and looks forward to a superannuation, which cost must be paid by the shipper.The truck saves handling, saves expensive boxing enforced by the Railway Commission\u2014in fact, there is no packing or boxing necessary for a short haul by truck.And for the trucking one does not load and unload twice, but only once.The railways must meet truck competition by a complete reorganization of methods and manners that ire obsolete.WE DO NOT ADMIT STEAM RAILWAYS AS OBSOLETE.No plan which will leave either the people or the Government of Canada as responsible for new debts incurred by the Canadian National Railway» will be received with favour.Government and municipal bonuses paid for the building of the railway tracks, then we paid for them again.It is just as well that we now recognize the investment as a total loss, and give the whole system away to anyone who will as-lume the liabilities and carry on that part of the railway which pays a profit.Some one suggests that trucks and truck-owners should pay higher taxes and thus be compelled to increase their charges for carrying freight and passengers.That would only drive the shippers into owning and operating their own trucks.The march of progress cannot be tied up with rules and regulations devised by parliaments.Just as well try to send us back to candles for lighting the homes, and to boats and sailing vessels for carrying our produce.Hampered now by Government regulations and by the necessity of asking permission of the amateurs on the Board of Railway Commission when they want to do anything, the railways have a mighty hard time of it.Yet there are ways, many ways, how the railways can so improve and quicken their service as to be able to compete with the growing fleets of trucks.EDITOR'S NOTE BOOK.The man who wants a job can promise everything, but the man who has the job must be careful, for he has to carry out his promises.* * » As our friend Mr.Rosenbloom observes, \"Mr.Taschereau is a business man, and that is perhaps! the cause of our short, sharp campaign, so that it) will not interfere with business too much, and' will be all over before the fall season opens.Nor will it interfere with the Sherbrooke Fair, for which I am glad.\u201d » * « Labrador, the country where the mosquito bites like a dog, where there are rocks and morass, and where hills and muskeg succeed one another in frozen splendour\u2014 this is the country Newfoundland would have Canada buy for 8110,000,000, just; because the Colonv needs the hundred millions.CRASHED INTO STEEP DITCH NEAR MAGOG Occupants of Two Cars Experienced a Fortunate Escape Yesterday Afternoon\u2014Vehicles Badly Damaged.An accident that might have han more serious, if not fatal, consequences occurred on the Montreal load a short distance from Magog yesterday afternoon, when two cars travelling in the same direction crashed into the steep ditches, as one automobile endeavored to pass the other.Mr.J.A.Cormier, amusement tax collector, accompanied by his wife and child, were the occupants of one car, while the other vehicle was driven by Mr.Conzaque Rancourt, who was with another young man.Rancourt is of this city and lives at 122 Belvidere street.In some miraculous manner, occupants of neither car were seriously injured.All, however, suffered from a bad shaking-up and minor cuts and bruises.The accident occurred at about 2.30 o\u2019clock.Mr.Cormier tried to pass Mr.Rancourt\u2019s car.In some inexplicable manner both, drivers lost control and the automobiles swerved off the road.The Cormier car plunged into the steep ditch on the left hand side of the highway, while Ranccurfs motor toppled into the other ditch.Both cars were badly damaged, and it was indeed fortunate that the occupants escaped uninjured.SOCIAL AND PERSONAL \u201cI tell about Our Leader.\u201d From the Research Department of the Canadian Bank of Commerce at Toronto comes a chart showing that within a year there had been a decline of around fifteen per cent, in the general list of wholesale prices and that within the months of May and June this decline was about one per cent.The fastest decline was between July, 1390, and January, 1931, since which time the prices seem to have been stabilized.Butter and cheese prices are somewhat stronger, despite a large increase in cold storage holdings.* » * That a bye-election should produce more votes than were recorded at a general election is an evidence of the deeper interest being taken in the public business of the country by the electors.In Three Rivers, at the general elections in 1930 the total votes polled 2o,81o, whilst at the bye-election there were 26,677 votes recorded or 1,062 more in the interim.The Liberal candidate in 1931 lost 1,334 votes as compared with his victorious predecessor in 1930, whilst the Conservative member-elect gained 2,396 more votes than did the candidate in 1930.So that a good many voters must have changed their minds within a year.* * \u2022 Hon.Geo.Hoadley, of Alberta, is credited with saying that his province does not desire immigration of any sort at the present time.This is a very-narrow view to take when there is need for development of the new Peace River district.Such a policy will, of course, put an end to any railway-building in that part of Canada, for capitalists who would build want assurance of more population.Barring the Doukhobors and other freak folks is quite alright, but Canada\u2019s first need continues.AYe have builded for fifty millions.*\t3»\t* Mr.Percy Cowans, father of the famous horsewoman, Miss Ruth Cowans, now happily married, has sent a very charming memento of his numerous visits to the Sherbrooke Exhibition.President Blue acknowledges the receipt of a cheque for SoOO to be used for the Winter Fair prize list, when Mr.Bruce Fletcher will again be in charge of the ring.Mr.Fletcher has retired for a rest period from the Horse Show directorate at the Exhibition, but has promised to give his whole time to the Winter Fair, where his services are indispensable.Col.Blue and the directors are of the opinion that Mr.Cowans\u2019 handsome gift might be used as a permanent trophy-in the saddle and hunter class to be known as the \u201cRuth Cowans Trophy.\u201d MAX STRUCK BY CAR OX WEL-LIXGTOX STREET.Mr.Adolphe Ccte, 51 years old 80A Galt street, was removed to the Sherbrooke Hospital yesterday afternoon by Lord\u2019s ambulance, suffering from injuries sustained when he was knocked down by an automo-' bile in front of the Salvation Army ! building on Wellington street.Mr.Cote, who is said to be deaf and dumb, was crossing the street ; when a car driven by Mrs.M.Lowry, | of this city, struck him.The unfortunate man was rushed to the : hospital, where his injuries were ; treated.He was not found to be in a serious condition and returned to I his home a short time later.MAN INJURED Y.\u2019HEX HORSE BOLTED.When the horse attached to the wagon in which he was travelling ! became frightened and ran away.' i Ludger d\u2019Armour, 23 years old, of Coaticook, sustained a fracture of , the left arm as he was thrown from j the vehicle.The accident occurred in Coaticook early yesterday.The horse, frightened for some cause, dashed between a telegraph pole and the sidewalk.1\u2019Armour was roughly j i precipitated from the wagon and) I struck the post with considerable I ! force.He was immediately removed to j the St.Vincent de Paul Hospital, i where the fracture was set.CITY BRIEFLETS CHARGED WITH ASSAULTING POLICE OFFICER.Arthur J.Graham, of Westmount, ; was arrested yesterday morning at ; about ore o\u2019clock, charged with gre-' vious assault on a police officer j executing his duty.Constable l^&ert, of No.3 Sta-! tion, had takeft charge of an auto- ! ) mobile at the botton of King Hill, ! i to take it to the police station, when I Graham, police allege, leaped on the I mudguard of the car and struck ) Robert in the face, inflicting severe i bruises.An acquaintance of Graham ' was the owner of the car and Gra-; ham is said to have acted without i provocation.Constable Robert jumped out of j the automobile and arrested the young man, who was immediately ! brought to the police station.NEW YORK MAYOR TAKING REST CURE IN CARLSBAD THIRTY YEARS AGO TODAY From the Files of the Sherbrooke Record.August 17th, 1901.Ernest Lafrance, a Watervi.le young man, was drowned at Victonaville, where he was employed.Edward J.Witty left town for Orange, Mass., where he had taken a position.F.L.Bean, W, S.A.en and A.S.Johnston left for Montreal to attend Grand Lodge meet-lr.g of the L O.O.F.Carl Juwel left for Groveton, N.H., Wells River, and other New England points to look after adver-j Using matter for the Sherbrooke Fair.1 C.G.Thompson and N.G.Bray returned from Ottawa, where they attended the annual tournament j of the Dominion Trapshooting Association.Visitors to the city included W.H.Leonard, Cook-shire;
