VISIT of THE BRITISH BOWLERS
They Were Enthusiastically Entertained Here.
• Defeated at Clinton stud Goderieh
,
The Bowlers of Clinton, with the as-
sistance of their lady friends and oth-
ers, did tnemselves proud on Saturday,
in their entertainment of the four
rinks of the British Bowlers who are
touring this country, and while•they
gave the Britishers a reception which
. they themselves seabed not been sur-
passed anywhere . in. the Dominion,
they had the honor of defeating the
Britishers by a score Of 76 to 74.
On arrival of the 10 o'clock train
from Stratford, the visitors were mee
at the station by the town Bowlers,
and introduced by R. Holmes chair-
man of the Reception committee. who
had gone to Stratford, to meet them.
The strains of the pipes,by.Piper Mc-
Donald ot Seaforth, reminded them of
their own land (most of them being
Scotch.) Mr. Tisdalleand Mr. George
Bailey. from Lansing, Michigan,
had kindly volunteered the use of
their automabilleseand, with 'carriages,
the entire party, including the rinks
from Seafcieth • and Wingham, were
driven around the town and country,
the morning being an icleed one for a
drive. Afterwards they were taken
to the Normandie. where they were
allowed to rest until 1 o'clock.'
• At 1 o'clock they rathered at the
Town Hell, where a cold luncheon was
served by the wives of the Clinton
Bowlers to all who were guests, num-
bering probably 125. Ten prettily dec-
orated tables had been provided, each
seating ten persons, presided over by
two ladies to each table, as follows:
Mrs. Jas. Fair 1. Mrs. R. Holmes a
Mrs. G elicTaggart) Mts. Rettenbury
Mrs. Morrish Mrs. .W. Jackson)

Mrs. T.J ackson, jr, Mrs, Combe
Mrs. Wiseman Mrs. Je Taylor 1.
Mrs. Forrester J• Mrs, G. Barge
Other ladies • generously gave their
assistance in various ways, and the.
luncheon Was declared by the British
to be a delightful variation •from the
generous dinners they had been re-
ceiving elsewhere. The London Har-
pers Occupied the platform while lunch
was served. All the ladies Who had to
do with the luncheon deserve great
credit for the daintiness thereof, aticl
the way in which it was served. .They
eveteeseffing workers, and contributed
in a very large measure to the splendid
empties of the occasion.
1Vir. John Ransford 'proposed the
toast of "the King,". and after it had
been royally honored he proposed that
of 'Our Guests," and in doing so said:
We are not goingto inflict any speeches upon
you to -day, butin proposing this 1 MAW be per -
raided to say a few words, I will not keep you.
They shall be few indeed. We host not the
facile utterance nor do we possess that suavity
of diction so peculiarly the preperty of the culti-
vated Englishman in this somewhat new and
rude Colony; but for all that, none the less
hearty, none the less sincere is our welcome to
Canada, that we extend to you to -day. And
when we welcome you to Canada to what •aro
you welcomed ? Bear with me if 1 remind you.
You are weleomed to the brightest jewel in the

Canadians, we possess the -largest inland sea,
350,000 se miles; the largest lakeof fresh woter,
the largest ;Intern of lakes, with a total area of
90,000 sq miles, which together with their outlet

Marseilles. Yet •we have a bracing winter,
which forms the sturdy Northern race; At

Ransford on his oratory, which he
said wassuperior to anything they
heard during their tour. They appre-

back home with much broader views
of this country than they entertained
when they landed here. alt.. Hunter,
of Belfast, (a Scotch -Irishman) also
wittily replied; .he had two sons in
this country, and it would not require

'come himself.'

Each British rink, with its compet-

Fully one thousand ,people had gath-
ered to witness the contest; seats had
been provided inside the lawn. and
also on the beautiful grounds of Mrs,
Chidley. Not only were all these'oc-
cupied, but the ferice surrounding the
'grounds was crowded by hundreds in-

and bagpipes furnished music daring

Victory for Clinton by 2 shots.
"While the game was in progress,
light refreshments were served .by
Mrs. Chidley, who was assisted by her
daughters and other young ladies, her
house being generously thrown open
to all who desired to enter. ' The re-
freshments consisted • of tea, with
bread and butter, or ice•cream and
wafers, and to show how generally
Mrs..Ohidley's offer was accepted, we
might state that they. served nearly
250 cups of tea, to saar nothing of the
ice eream served. To show their
appreciation of her kindness, the Club
presented her with a pretty cheese
dish and sardine dish.
NOTES
Goderich wen out by 13 points.
Prominent onlookers from Seaforth
and other places congratulated Clinton
on thehandsome way in which the
British Bowlers were entertitined.
The Seaforth rink played a remark-
ably good game; and held up their
end of the match well ; several partic-
ularly good shots were made by this
rink.

work, the engineering staff at Guelph
.is being shifted ard changed. Mr. J.
E. Beattie, divisional engineer, is no*
in charge of the work of inspection,
and Mr. J. G. Macklin, who has been
the engineer in obsDge of the forty
miles of road at that end, will • spend a
few weeks in winding up his Work
Prior to returning to Montreal. It is
expected that the road will be opened
to Liewocid, and possibly to Millbank,
in time for the Toronto Exhibition
travel. Linwood is about 25 miles
from Guelph and Millbank about 30,
and to reach either of these points
would bee very considerable stride to-
ward Goderich. Hopes are still held
out that the terminus may be reached
before the end of the year.

MAYOR Retools. - Mayor Tilt has
placed his resignation in the bands of
the Town Clerk; but at the Council
meeting no action was. taken, the
Mayor being absent from town. It is
understood that his resignation is the
outcome of legal proceedings which
have been taken to compel hisWorship
to sign the. by-law guaranteeing the
bonds of the Maitland River Power
Company to the extent ,of $150 000.
The Mayor all along has been opposed
to the by-law,. but the electors a short
timarego carried it by a large majority
and the by-law was subsequently filial-
ly passed by the council, when hisWor-
ship refused to sign it. The proposal of
the company is to develop power from
the Maitland River by the erection of
a huge dam near Goderich, the capital
cost of the undertaking to be at least
$300 000, and to supply power to the
town •for municipal ptirposes at a fix-
ed sum for SO years, as wen as affording
cheap power for industrial purposes.
