The excursion to Peterboro on Tuesday was very poorly patronized by the
Brooklinites. Only five tickets were sold here.
|
|
If the weather is fine there is likely to be a big turn out at the
Royal Templars pic-nic at Corbets Point on Friday.
|
|
An excursion to Toronto will be run under the auspices of the St.
Thomas church on Thursday 19th inst. Return tickets will be issued,
admitting also to the cyclorama at $1.25 from Brooklin. We are told that
this painting is a grand view and is worth the total amount itself.
No doubt many will avail themselves of this opportunity of going to the
city and seeing one of the great wonders of the present age.

Mr. Sandy Jones met with what might have proved a very serious accident
on Wednesday of last week. He is working this summer for a farmer near
Claremont and was engaged cutting hay with a mowing machine. The horses
suddenly took fright at something and the jerk caused the seat to break
and Sandy was thrown on the knife. He received a few cuts about the
head and neck but we are glad to be able to state nothing serious. It
was a miraculous escape as both lines, which he held, were cut completely
off.

(A correspondent of the Times charges the writer of the
letter in our last, signed Sports and making fun of Brooklin
baseball, with having been drunk and as good as says he was on his way
to Ashburn. He was never at Ashburn in his life. Neither was he ever
drunk, if appearances go for anything.ED. CH.)
