[Welland Telegraph, 10 July 1901]

A couple of young men in business on East Main street purchased a big row boat from a farmer on the Welland river, and the smaller partner spent several days painting the boat and fixing it up, preparatory to enjoying the evening breezes of July upon the water, but, somehow every time a new coat of paint was applied the farmer’s dirty muddy pigs would rub their backs against the the ribbed side of the boat, leaving it in a disgraceful condition. The boys are wild and cannot see the joke.
