for Dad's little pigs and we werent able to get up a load of corn stalks as we had hoped as I had to get ready to catch the one o'clock car to attend a meeting of the Shorthorn Breeders in Simcoe. The meeting wasnt called till two o'clock so I had lots of time on my hands and prowled around looking in the store windows. I saw a large toy aeroplane in Fall's toy display and recognized it as the one Quint made last summer to run with his game and which he was not allowed to run at the fairs, it being too much of a gambling enterprize. I took my watch in to the jewelers and had it fixed so that it would run soberly instead of making an hour in about fifty four minutes. I also got a nice copy of "The Angelas" for Marj. for Christmas I was the first of the Shorthorn Breeders at Bramhill's office and it was some time before enough drifted in to warrant starting the meeting, however Ham, Lorne Forrest, and two fellows I didnt know Duckfoot and Blayney came in so we got started and then Charlie Dunkin and some Murphy from Walsingham arrived much later. Ham was president and Bramhill secretary and the discussion that followed consisted

principally of Bramhill readinf forms of bty laws and business con by other clubs and suggesting that we aceot them.. Ham asking for the opinon of the assembly, me. oving that all resolutions be adopted some one else secomding the motion and the rest su=ignu=ifying assent in the ususal manner. Lorne Forest did make a few remarks about patronizing the shows more and also in his most oratorical style gave us his opinions in the sam emanner he did at a former meeting concerning te influence feed has in making nimals eithrr scrubs or pure breeds (in aooearance). Charlie Dunkin also ,made some semnsoible suggestions but the oters might as well noit have been there excpoet to give form aauthoriity fr our actions.
