Ross has another chance to show its ap- preciation of the men who have answered their country's call . The Great War Sale , on Tuesday next , November 17th , will be the biggest thing of its kind ever held in the town . People have been so generous in their response to the appeal for goods to sell that the committee have a really valuable and indescribably varied collection of useful articles to offer . motorists . Ross Harriers . OPENING MEET AT GILLOW . The opening meet of the Ross Harriers took place at Gillow , the residence of Mr. Burton Parry , on Tuesday morning , and on this occasion it afforded the members and followers of the hunt an opportunity of ex- tending a hearty welcome to the new Mas- ter , Capt . R .. W. B. Ker , who has quite re- cently come to reside in the Harrier country . The attendance , owing to the great Euro- pean War , and so many of the young far- mers and supporters of the hunt now serv- ing their King and Country , was not nearly so numerous as on former occasions ; but nevertheless the " field " was a large one . Among those present were Capt . R. W. B. Kery the new Master , and Mrs. Ker , with his huntsman and whips ; Mr. H. F. Roberts ( the late Master ) , Mrs. Roberts , Miss Roberts , and Miss Isaac , King's Thorn ; Mr. Arthur James , Mr. Manley Power ; Mr. 8. Greatrex Yates and Misses Yates , Berkeley House ; Mr. Burton Parry , and Miss B. Wyndham Smith . Aramstone the genial host ; Mr. J. Wyndham Smith . Mr. and Mrs. Victor Parry , Whitfield ; Mr. Tom Maddocks , Grafton ; Mr. Will Wigmore , Miss Wigmore , and Mr. Ernest Wigmore , A motor car will provide one of the sensa- tions of the day , and we hear that there is keen competition amongst those anxious to become the newest recruit to the ranks of That the car will be a great bargain to whoever becomes its owner can- not be denied . It was on show at the open- ing meet of the Ross Harriers at Gillow on Tuesday , when it was driven by Mr. C. Wright , jun . May we give a valuable piece of information regarding the car ? It is that everyone attending the sale will have Bryants ; the Misses Parry , New Croft ; Mr. an equal opportunity of becoming its owner : H. Deakin , Weir End ; Mr. T. A. R. at a bargain price . A condensed list of articles to be sold announcement in appears in an another column . From this it will be seen that the Great War Sale is much more than a rummage and jumble affair , in fact it might he described as a bazaar or fair . Every imaginable article of usefulness or orna- ment is to be found on the 20 different stalls ranging from a straw hat to a bed- stead . Saddles and collars have been re- ceived , but up to the present a horse is not included in the list ; neither has the secre- tary received the second motor car which he asked for in our last issue . There is still time to remedy these deficiencies . The greatest need , however , on Tuesday next will be a large crowd of willing and keen buyers . This great mass of goods has to be turned into cash , so that our local Territorials may reap the full benefit of the generosity of the donors of things for this War Sale .
