whether competing for a direct route
to the sea for the gteat grain markets
of the North and Northwest, or for
that immense stream of Northern
passenger travel -which every winter
seeks tho wjnper dimate of Booth

between Blackvilfe and Kingsville-are

assistance could be-Rsd frbm them.

to “try again”—*un the second trial
tigt. Ciancey scored the highest (21)
and was declearnd tho victor. After
tlie target practice all hand# -partook
Ufa sumptuous reiia»r, consisting of
everything the h< art of man could
desire or the-inventive faculties of tne
ladies supply. 'Heretofore the Barn
well boys had been but passive obser
vers of the events of tho day,but now
they became active partic'prms. and
demoubtrated tlie fact tiiat they were
appreciative gentlemen. Immediately
alter dinner the party repaired to a
house Lard by which for the nonce

say Kingsville on the W. C. & A. R. R. meant to'ffiiMh in anger, and how hap

kept up until five p. m. when the prize
drill WiM hud. This was to us the
moat interesting event of the day—
exo°pt of course our fair partners in
the dance—and Whs highly creditable
to the .company. Indeed, after the
number had narrowed down to four
or five it required at ogee an educated
and vigilant eye to discriminate be
tween the contestants. Finally, how
ever 8gt. Ciancey stood alone in the
ranks and was pronounced the best
drilled man in the .company, which
was universally, we ‘believe, admitted
to be a “fair, impartial verdict.” The
prize is a handsome silver medal, to
the form of a Maltese cross, suspend
ed from. K large siego gun. Sgt.
