The 4th S. S. S. A Huge Success.
• Friday last was -a, gala ` day in
Clinton, being the day • of the fourth'
annual school scholars' spots.'.All
places of bhishnc .c
s were elos•ed at'
noon and literally ev erybody went to
the sports..
At 1.30 the procession formed at
the Public school anti maehed to the
park.. The procession: was .,ome�thing

was followed by the. Mayor,
Chairman Iii'ank 'Hall, , Toni Jack-
son, who iso the moving spirit in,
all matters pertaining to, school
scholars sports and : past-iines, and
others marching • ahead.cf the
Citizens' Band who plaed • lively.
music.. Then •• cane the "Spinsters'
Club" in gala attire, whose costumes
were fearfully and, wonderfully made
and whose millinery creations Big-
gar descii:ption. Then r.oi•l wed' the
school scholars, as one young Tian re-
marked; "six Million of them." Well, .
.there were a lot., about six hundred,
any way, in the procession, and many,
from, out-of-town did not get in in
time to join in the • procession,
On arriving at the park, (where many
tents were , erected the program .of
sports began. There were races for
boys and races' for- girls ' a' bun 'eon -
test, a 'pillow •fight, tug-of-war,• base-
ball matches ; something doing every
minute. In the big tent, where
lem-
onade wasdispensed all afternoon, a
u:h:de was erected 'which ;Spayed an un-
failing 'source of amusement to the
youngsters—and also •to some who are
older.
• At 5.30 tea was' served, to the
school scholars, each teacher taking
the responsibility of looking after her
own room. Most of the townspeople
benuglht along baskets and had tea
on the grounds also.
Much interest centred around the
game of Push Ball, which took place
at 7 o'clock between the C.C.I. and.
the Pastime Club. The push ball is
a new game, just, introduced into
Canada from England, tl.i`s being the
second time it was played in this
country. The ball is over sih4 feet
high, weighs forty-eight pounds and
is worth $250. The enterprising com-
mittee was -host fortunate in secur-
ing .it for this! occasion,• The game is
somewhat .similar to football, each
side endeavoring to put the balls
through the opponent's goal. In this
case neither side scored a goal, a
most difficult feat, au was evident to
the spectators, but points are,
counted as in Rugby and wheal
Milne was celled the. score
stood 0-3 in favor of the C.
C. T. The game is a upeetacular
and strenuous one and aroused much,
enthusia:.m and was watched with
much interest by the large crowd
'present, •
"Billy" McLeod, the well known
coniie singer of 'Sealer*. did some
singing ::aunts which • wee) well - re-
ceived and was wildly applauded when
he announced that he would dance the ti

sailor's hornpipe. "Billy"
both dance and sing and was entitle
iastically. encored.
The crowd was as good-natured a
one as could: be imagined and seemed
bent' on having a good time, each.
one endeavoring .i to 'do. hie or her
sha.'etowards making the event a
success, the result being that it was .
the most successful day's sportheld
thus far :and the committee are to be
congratulated upon the whole affair.
Notes of they Day. .
Toa: Jackson was the busiest man
ever on Friday. He seemed '• to be in
two or three places' at once. .
Mn. D. Cluff made_' a picturesque
figure coming down the "Ade."
"Batu'" Coat& outfit was very
fetching.
Everybody admired Mr. Amos• Cast-
les' coils of "yeller" hair.
The peek has been naafi iinproved-
and now only .lacks a few shade trees,
to make it a very pleasant and pie-.
turesque spot. The autumn is the
best time in which to plant some
varietiesof trees. .This is merely a
hint.
