(Canadian Press Despatch) London, om., Aug.29.\u2014 Encountering a heavy rainstorm while flying over Lake Ontario, Captain Terence Tully and Lieut.James Medcalf in the Sir John Carling on the first Canadian attempt at a trans-Atlantic flight were forced to re^ turn to London at 1 1 a.m, east-trn daylight saving time.The fliers, who left London at! dawn, were reported Streetsville and Oakville, just west of Toronto, on their eastward journey, but while skirting the north shore of Lake Ontario found conditions so bad that they were forced to return to the flying field outside o! the city.The intrepid aviators were attempting a London-to-London flisht for a prize of $25,000.The start could not have been BEDFORD, Aug.29.\u2014The ninety-ninth annual fair at Bedford, staged every year now for almost a century by the Missisquoi County Agricultural Society, opens tomorrow morning, and will last three days, closing on Thursday evening.While the weather today was bad, it was believed that the heavy rains could not endure very long, and that there would be an improvement.The wet weather, of course, was bad for the farmers who were busy bringing their cattle, horses and other animals, as well as their grains, vegetables, flowers, etc., to be exhibited, but the work of preparation and entering was nevertheless in process all morning, and will continue, rain over | or shine, all day.If this morning\u2019s weather clears, there is no reason why this should not be a very successful fair.There are some excellent prizes being offered and there should be some interesting contests for firsts and specials.Donors of some of the prizes include the District of Bedford Ayrshire Club, the Ailwin Farms (Mrs.C.W.P.Ramsey), the department of agriculture, G.H.Montgomery, K.C., Noe Lebeau and

Hodge and Boomhower, Inter (Canadian Press Despatch) WASHINGTON, D.C., Aug.29.\u2014The United States tariff commission wishes to abandon its practice of conducting personal investigation into the cost of production in other countries whose changes in the United States tariff are proposed.The commission would prefer to use other evidence, such as invoice prices of imports, as the basis of its investigation, the Canadian Press learns.Under the present law, when an application is made to the commission for an increase or a decrease in the tariff the commission is supposed to send experts to the principal countries from which that commodity is imported and there ascertain what it costs to produce the article.A comparison is then made with the cost of production in the United States and if the figures warrant, the commission may recommend to the President that the national Agricultural Corporation, duty on the specified article ought Blinn and Tree, and many private citizens of the district.There are six races on the card, including the 2.40 , 2.30 and 2.20 pace on Wednesday, and the 3.00, 2.25 and 2.16 pace on Thursday.Each of these will be for trotters as well, the time for the latter being faster than fire.But at 5.43 the great motor! for\tformer by four seconds.roared into action and the propeller became a blur of whirling metal.Rapidly Gained Speed Tully allowed the motor to roar for a few minutes to give the motor an opportunity to warm up.But at 5.52 the huge monoplane began to move, slowly at first, then faster and steadily faker as tne propellers whirling increased and its pull began to get the mass of over two and a half tons into motion.Rapidly the machine gathered speed, however, and in forty seconds of time and about three quarters of a mile in distance the wheels lifted from the ground and the plane was successfully on its way.This was well within the space of a mile and two-fifths allowed by the length of the runway, and was ii striking tribute to the plane's fine qualities.Crwod Breathed Easiei As the wheels lifted from the farth, the crowd breathed easier.The danger always present in a take, nff with a heavy load\u2014was not entirely over.The question still remained\u2014would the plane make alti-tud \u2022 fast enough to clear the wires end other obstructions at the extreme western end of the runway?Gradually, but steadily, however, the great winged ship\u2014as gracefully as a bird\u2014rose foot by foot.It swung slightly to the south of the (lying field as it prepared to make Che turn toward the east and the shores of England.Steadily it climbed, and when it began the long-graceful sweeping turn, it was about 1,000 feet in the air, as nearly as Che watchers on the ground could estimate.Banking her firmly,

throughout the night, and all was in readiness when Tulley and Medcalf arrived on the field.Not.long before the actual start a decision was made to carry only 372 imperial gallons of gasoline, instead of the five hundred, for which the plane has tank capacity.This weis done to still further light-, (Continued on Pago 5) Tuesday\u2019s races are named.Purses range from $75 to $200.The Bedford Fair,

have held such investigations in Canada, notably into the cost of production of certain farm products.The Canadian Press understands that the commission has come to the conclusion that this system is unworkable, or at least does not result in obtaining a reasonably exact es- timate of the cost of production.^ In its annual report to Congress the Commission probably will recommend that it would be better to depend on other sources of evidence.Already the commission has used in some cases invoice prices of imports as a reasonable evidence of at least a marginal cost of production elsewhere.The commission would rely more on such sources of evidence and seeks the endorsement of Congress of its opinion.The commission will submit to Congress that there are many factors which make the present system of direct investigation very unreliable and also that its excursions into foreign countries have met with direct opposition for one reason or another.The commission has not in its preliminary discussion of this matter, named any particular country and it is generally understood that Canadian have usually given reasonaSle assistance to the Opened This Morning; 1,247 Present Yesterday *5- 4-

According to Statement Attributed to Hon.Robert Forke, Soldier Settlement Board Has Passed Out of Existence over the field against the wind and made a beautiful getaway, circling over the aerodrome and waving good-bye to the few spectators assembled to -witness the take off.Then the machine headed toward the east, and within four or five minutes was out of sight.Weather reports indicated there was mist over the English Channel, but that visibility on the continent was fairly good.The weather at.Croydon was comparatively clear and the aviators considered the flying conditions were such as to warrant an attempt to reach Germany, since they are out to complete their journey within twenty-eight days.Are not Hustling Just prior to starting for Munich, Brock and Schlee emphasized they were not trying to loop the world in a fortnight or so.\"We are on a sort of pleasure stunt,\u201d said Brock.\"We are taking our time, we are not hustling by any means.\u201d He explained to the English newspaper men that if they were really hustling as the word is taken in the American meaning, they would have stopped at Croydon only a few minutes to refuel and.push ca.ed hard, and this continued until about eight o\u2019clock.Rain returned later for a while, and the skies continued overcast and without show-in much chance of improvement, i One hope was held out, however, j this being that it

heard.The dedication prayer was given by Rev, Mr.Callis, of Stanstead.The dedication address was delivered by Senator Foster, and other speakers were, the chairman, Col.B.B.Morrill, Dr.Ch as.W.Colby, Dr.John Hayes, Mr.John Hackott and Mr.C.O-Jones, the latter representing the Missisquoi Historical Society.All speakers paid eloquent tribute to the sterling qualities of the Eastern Townships pioneers.Remarkable Exhibition of Old Time Articles Adjournment was then made to the old Morrill Homestead, the summer home of Mr.V.E.Morrill, where a remarkable collec-tion of old time souvenirs was viewed.These were brought by representatives of many old families, and were a vivid reminder of the old days.Refreshments were served by a committee of ladies who had shown an interest in the whole undertaking.A statement issued by Mr.Arthur Curtis, treasurer of the MemoriJ Fund, showed that the memorial has cost slightly in excess of $1,000 and almost the entire amount had been contributed without personal solicitation, other than by circular letter, by descendants of the pioneers whose names appeared on the tablet.Letters of interest and contributions had come from far ad near.Among pioneer descendants from distant points, outside the Townships, who had come for the occasion were noted: Miss Eva Bangs, Chicago 111.; Miss Cate, Kansas: Major George Shearer, Montreal; Mr.and

considerable labor, so far from sapping one\u2019* strength tends to keep the organism alive.It is an encouraging theory, and it it attested both positively and negatively by numerous examples.The leisured old age to which most people look forward is in fact a will-o\u2019-tbe-wisp which lures men to destruction.In view of the activity he exhibits and the manifold public offices he holds at that advanced age one passage In a speech memorable in his political career\u2014that in which he announced his resignation of the leadership of the Unionist party\u2014stands on record to-day in singular contrast with the events of the past fifteen years.\"I desire,\u201d said Mr.Balfour (as he then wasl \"to leave the position of heavy responsibility which I have held before I can be suspected of suffering from that most insidious of all diseases, the disease which comes upon those who, without losing their health or their intellect, nevertheless get somewhat petrified in the old courses which they have pursued, whose authority grows because they have been long in the public service, or have been great men of science or business, or whatever it may be, but who cannot deal with the great problems which in this changing world are perpetually arising, with all the freshness and elasticity really desirable in those who have to conduct great concerns.\"No man ever knows in himself when that moment has come.A man knows when he is ill.A man may even know when his memory begins to fail, or see some other obvious sign of decay rest upon bis vision.But this sort ot malady of which I am speaking may attack people in the prime of life, in the prime of intellectual vigor as long as the intellectual vigor is exercised along the old lines; but nevertheless though they may retain apparently all the powers both of brain and of limb which they had in the prime of life, they are less capable of adapting themselves to the changing circumstances of life than those who are of less author ity because younger, and yet are more capable also, because younger.\"I am vain enough to hope, though no man can tell, that I have not reached that period\u2014 (cheers)\u2014but I should be miserable If I ran the margin fine; and nothing, I think, would be more terrible than to realize that while people were looking to you more than ever, owing to your lengthening experience\u2014looking to you for leadership\u2014you had not got the keenness of vision or the alertness which must go with decreasing years, adequately to meet the demands which are made upon you.\u201d This plea for retirement in favor of younger and more vigorous men was made (to the executive of the City of London Unionist Association) nearly sixteen years ago.Since that time the speaker, by a strange but happy irony, has done what history may well regard as the greatest work of his life.To mention hi,; political tasks alone\u2014though his record In those sixteen years in the academic and literary fields is impressive\u2014he has been first lord of the admiralty and foreign secretary, both in the period of the war; he undertook a war mission of the greatest moment to the United States; he helped to frame the Treaty of Versailles; he was responsible more than any other single man for the success of the Washington naval conference; Incapable though he thought himself of proper \u201cadaptation to the changing circumstances of life,\u201d he set the standard for future British delegates in the new atmosphere of the assembly of the League of Nations; be started the Imperial Research Council on its way; and the opening of his eightieth year finds him the cabinet\u2019s chief consultant.on the naval discussions now in progress at Geneva.This is the statesman who, in 1911, stepped out of the ranks of the active from fear lest petrification might be setting in.\u2014Public Opinion.He Pleaded Too Well Even Cut Own Fee Whtn Case Was Over, R» H.Créer Found Impoverished Looking Woman Had a Substantial Roll RH.GREER, K.C., is one of the- best-# known and most-liked figures in Ontario and Toronto police court circles.\u201cDick\u201d as he Is known to a multitude of friends, can tell many a good story ot his experiences as counsel and as former crown attorney.On one occasion ho was acting as defense counsel for a Jewish woman charged with selling liquor.The woman had every appearance ot extreme poverty and her pitiful appearance in the courtroom attracted everyone\u2019s sympathy.It seemed that her husband was sick, she fiart several children to care for and no money to do it with.Mr.Greer put in a very eloquent plea.The woman was guilty but would the court not exercise mercy.The magistrate decided that the minimum fine would fit Uje case.It would be $200.Even at that both he and ths counsel thought that the woman would be forced to take the alternative three months\u2019 imprisonment.Instead of that she walked out of the courtroom and from the depths ot her stocking produced a roll of bills amounting to $1,600.Out of this she calmly paid the fine and cheerfully departed.And the funny thing about It was that Mr.Greer, in consideration of her abject circumstances, had charged her a ridiculously small counsel fen, AI Age About People xx, Sidelighis on Men and Women in ihe Public Eye ^ Riilosopha and Showman is ¥ew CNE.Head f/, W.Wafers, recently appointed manager of the Canadian National Exhibition -, ¦ ¦ \u2018 \u2022 !!¦!! - .\u2018Xv .\t' -'y -.\t:\td.sSMmm H WMMmmm A WmfMMk 7 §ns .igg, a ¦ü .rti illli ¦ Vv:;::.:7d :: IPW#;

Even his shoulders pressed with all hia strength failed to make any impression.It.was hopeless.H0 was unequal to the task.With a groan of despair he descended into tho hold, fell back on the floor and buried his head in his hands.(Continued in our next issue) SHE WAR NO LABOR SAVER On a hot day a vacationist was eating in a stuffy little wayside restaurant.There were no screens in the window or the door.The proprietress herself waited on customers and shooed flies from the table at tho same time.\u201cWouldn't it be better to havo the window and the door screened?\u201d ventured tho vacationist.\u201cWon, vPSi j s\u2019pose it.would help some , returned Che woman, \u201cbut \u2019twould look mighty lazy liko.\u201d Don't neglect, to read tho ClmM-fir-d Advertisements in this Gsim, They likely name somethin® ym* want. SHERBROOKE U AIL Y RECORD, MONDAY, AUGUST 29, 1927.PAGE NINE 4 NEWS SPORTING WORLD RUTH SUMMED SECOND HOUR Now Leads Gehrig by Two\u2014National League Teams Rained Cut Yesterday.(Asiociated Pre»s Despatch) NEW YORK, Aug.29\u2014There j'-ave been many historic baseball \u2018hoodoos,\u201d but that held by the N\u2019ew York Yankees over the hapless Gt.Louis Browns is one of the most effective on record.The Yankees \\nd Browns have played seventeen games this year, and the- St.Louis team has failed to break into the victory column once.The Hugmen took off the heavy vde of a 10 to 6 score at Sportsman\u2019s Park yesterday.It was a free swinging game and Babe Ruth lash-sd out his 42nd home run of the season to become two up on Lou Qehrig.Washington continues its disastrous slump that has jolted the team from second to fourth place.The Senators fell before the Chicago White Sox, 4 to 0, and it was their thirteenth defeat in succession, barring one tie game of fifteen innings With Detroit.After seven victories in a row, the Cleveland Indians bowed before the Boston Red Sox, 6 tc 5, but the contest vvent eleven innings before the verdict was returned.Connie Mack\u2019s Philadelphians, after having forged into second place in the American League of the flag race, strengthened their hold by dropping Detroit again, 9 to 5.It was the fifth consecutive defeat for Moriarity\u2019s men, who had previously won thirteen in a row.The National League attractions were rained out.The New York Giants were idle for the seventh day in succession, a major league record for August of any year.CcOlLlT AS CHAMPIONS PLAY IT TEe HIGH AND HIT ©ALL ON UPSWING M'S* A LOWTKg OFTEN HAS THIS RESULT Many of the star golfers who get good distance with their drives seem to use a high tee.From the point of view of the beginner, what are the advantages or disadvantages of a high tee?* * By BILL MEHLHORN One of America\u2019s Foremost Golfers * * * The star golfer who uses a high tee hits the ball on the upswing which gives the ball an added flight and a tremendous roll.It would be advisable for the beginner to use a high tee, as it is natural for him to hit the ball up.The tee should be a good half or three-quarters of an inch in height.If he tees too low he will top the ball or else dig into the ground in an exaggerated effort to hit low enough.Teeing high and hit-tmg on the upswing gives overspin to the ball, and makes it roll a long distance after hitting the ground.Also, it is a much easier shot for the beginner to make.R.M\u2019CABE WON EX AMATEUR GOLF TITLE BOBBY JONES AGAIN WON U.S.GOLF HONORS CITY TENNIS TOURNAMENT IN PROGRESS FINANCIAL AND MARKET NEWS NATIONAL LEAGUE STANDING Won Lost P.C.\t\t\t Chicago .\t\t73\t47\t.608 St.Louis .\t.67\t48\t.583 Pittsburgh\t.68\t49\t.581 New York .\t.67\t52\t.563 Cincinnati .\t.« .52\t65\t.444 Boston .\t\t5D\t66\t.431 Brooklyn .\t.51\t68\t.429 Philadelphia\t.44\t77\t.364 AMERICAN\tLEAGUE Won\tSTANDING Lost P.C.\t New York .\t\t87\t37\t.702 Philadelphia\t71\t53\t.573 Detroit .\t.68\t53\t.562 Washington\t.66\t57\t.537 Chicago .\t.59\t64\t.490 Cleveland \u2022\t.55\t69\t.444 St, Louis .\t.47\t74\t.388 Boston .\t».38\t84\t.311 INTERNATIONAL LEAGUE STANDING Won Lost P.C.\t\t\t Buffalo .\t.94\t48\t.662 Syracuse .\t.88\t53\t.624 Toronto .¦\t.76\t.65\t.539 Newark\t.74\t67\t.525 Baltimore .\t\t72\t67\t.518 Rochester .\t\t71\t72\t.497 Jersey City\t.58\t84\t.408 Reading .\t\t109\t.227 RIVOLI DEFEATED MEGANTTC 5 TO 4.The Rvoli baseball nine travelled to Megantic on Saturday afternoon find defeated the home team by 5 to 4 in a hard fought contest.The local boys gained two runs in the fourth inning and the remaining three in the fifth inning, while the Megantic players obtained one run in the third inning and the three in the fifth.The batteries were: Rivoli, Tur-geon and St.Pierre;

Twyman chalked up the sixth and; last counter on a hard drive from1, close in.The final whistle blew, with Quebec Central leading f! to 1.!

Robins, of the Sherbrooke Country{ Club, in the final by two up and one ; to play.\t| The weather man, who had de-; lighted the competitors in the quali-i fying rounds the day previous at the! Dufferin Heights Club course by furnishing ideal climatic conditions, was not so kind to the semi-finalists and finalists on Saturday.After threatening weather all morning, rain finally started to fall just as the semi-final matches commenced in the morning and kept up almost continually all day long.Consequently, the golf was not of! the best with occasional missed; shots cropping up due to the slip-, pery club handles caused by the rain.However, the matches proved i very interesting.Philip Robins, who! has been displaying the best golf of, his career this year, led McCabe, his1; opponent in the final, by one up at; turn, but suddenly failed with his ; usually reliable shots.Consequently,! he dropped the first four holes of; the inward journey, a loss which he was never able to overcome, the match ending on the seventeenth green with McCabe two up and one to play.To reach the final Robins defeated Charles White, Jr., 1926 champion, by four up and three to play.Robins played steady golf and had the edge on his opponent most of the way.In the other semi-fmal McCabe defeated B.N.Holtham, representing the Waterville Club, by two up after an interesting contest.In the consolation matches Tommy Gilmour, of the Hermitage Club (Magog), lost out in the final by three and two to A.B.Nelson, of the Dufferin Heights Club.In the semi-finals of this competition Gil-mour put William Ward, of Windsor Mills, out of the running, after playing an extra hole, while Nelson earned the right to enter the final by defeating J.P.L.Stewart, of Lennoxville, by one up.Stewart at one time had a lead of three holes, but the Dufferin Heights player came home strong to carry off the honors.To McCabe, the 1927 champion, goes the Skinner Cup, while Robins carried off the runner-up prize.As a player was only allowed to win one prize, the prize for the best thirty-six hole qualifying score reverted to Charles White, while the award for the best eighteen holes qualifying was won by B.N.Holt-ham.The 1927 Eastern Townships amateur golf championship tournament was a wonderful success.Everything possible was done by the officials of the Dufferin Heights Golf Club to ! make things comfortable for the ; competitors, and the ladies of the club received numerous compliments ! on their luncheons.At the conclusion of the play the prizes were presented.Mr.William Pyke, president of the Dufferin ! Heights Club, presided, and called upon Mr.D.J.Sails, of Sherbrooke, president of the Eastern Townships ! Amateur Golf Association, to present the prizes.During the course of his remarks Mr.Pyke issued an ! invitation to again hold the tournament over the Stanstead course next year.A decision in this respect will | be made at a meeting to be held by the E.T.Golf Association later in the fall.Mr.Holtham moved a vote of thanks to the ladies of the .Stanstead Club for their kind hospitality, and! Mr.J.P.L.Stewart moved a vote of thanks to the officers of the! Stanstead Club.Defeated Veteran Chick Evans in Final by Eight Up and Seven to Play.(Associated Press Despatch) MINNEAPOLIS, Minn., Aug., 28.\u2014Bobby Jones yesterday won the National Amateur Golf championship for the third time in four years, bowling over the last obstacle in his path, the veteran Chick Evans, eight up and seven to go.To defeat the Chicago player, the Atlantan, who recently won the British open championship with a record-breaking 285, clubbed the Minikahda course into complete submission, scoring a sixty-seven, five under par, in the morning round, when he had Evans six down and stepping out in the afternoon when he seemed for a time to have lost his fine touch, in thirty-six, one over par, for the first nine.Going to the twenty-ninth green, seven down and eight to play, Chick had a short put for a half which would have left the match dormie.It was raining and the twelfth hole was nearly four hundred yards away, so no one, not even the loser, seemed to mind when Chick suddenly walked over to Bobby and congratulated him.The gallery for a few minutes did not know what to make of this, as Evans had not putted, but he had used up a stroke by inadvertently moving his ball as he took his stance.NEWRULES WILL BRING BETTER HARNESS RACES Only Two Matches Played Yesterday, Owing to Rain\u2014No Games Today\u2014Large Number of Entrants in Competition This Year-Players to Be Noti- fied When Courts Will Be Ready for Play.The annual city tennis tournament, which is now being held, holds promise of being one of the largest and best ever seen here.Some one hundred and twenty players are participating ita men\u2019s singles, men\u2019s doubles, ladies\u2019 singles, ladies\u2019 doubles and mixed doubles at the different tennis courts in town, which proves the fact that tennis is becoming very popular i'n this district.Owing to the rain over the weekend, only two matches were played, one singles match and one mixed doubles, which resulted in G.Loomis winning from N.Skinner, at the Rand courts, 6-4, 5-7, 8-6, and R.Cutts and Mi'ss A.Codere winning in the mixed doubles from A.Royer .and Mi'ss .J Codere, 6-3, 4-6, 6-4.The matches scheduled for today have been postponed owing to the rain.As soon as conditions permit, the tournament will be continued.The different participants will be notified by the secretary, Dir.Jack Powers, as to where they are to play and £he.time.The winners of the matches are requested to phone in the results of their matoh-es as soon as possible to Me Powers, phone 828.\t.The draws in the different events \u2022are: Men\u2019s singles\u2014A.W.Smith vs.Mr.Echenberg;
