| In connection with Orillia’s first Rifle Club great interest was taken in this club and C. H. Hale is the authority for saying that the Packet used to print the scores of the Rifle Club. Prominent as a member of the Cricket Club was John McCosh, a well-known Orillia lawyer, who afterwards became Judge. Mr. McCosh owned an island near the Narrows on the east side of Lake Couchiching known as McCosh Island. |
