In a fast and excitipg game of
baseball Exeter again carried away
the honors, when they defeated Au
burn on Monday evening by a score
of seven to four on the latter’s lia-
mond. This is the second time this
season, that Exeter has defeated
Auburn. Exeter is now leading the
league, having played four games
and won them all. The game,
throughout was well played and hard
to lose. Exeter gathered four runs
in the first inning while Auburn
was held scoreless until the fifth
inning when they gathered four
runs off Tieman, through some good
hitting, together with some errors
on the part of Exeter. Exeter ad
ded two more runs of the 5th inning
and one in the eighth. L. Tieman
started in the box for Exetei’ but
was replaced by Lawson in the sixth
inning. Tinney foil Auburn, went
the entire game. A large crowd
witnessed the game with a number
of Exeter fans accompanying the
team.
The line-up: Exeter—Medd, Pol
len, Hinds, Lawson, L. Tieman,
Beavers, Yule, M. Tieman, Taylor.
Auburn—Paterson, B. Carter, Craig

CELEBRATE GOLDEN
The golden wedding
of Rev. “ ’
Holmes,
at their
quietly,
Mrs. Holmes. The marriage of Rev.
John Holmes, of the Methodist
church, to Jennie Greenway, sister
of the late Thomas Greenway, form
er premier of Manitoba, took place
on June 5th, 1S77, in Exeter, at the
home of Dr. J. A. Rollins, now of
this city. Rev. S. J. Allin acted as
best man. Unique, possibly, in the
annals of June weddings, was the
fact that the bride~ and groom spent
their honeymoon at a Methodist con
ference. Their first charge was at
Uxbridge and during the 5 0 years of
their ’married life Mr. Holmes, who
retired from the active ministry a
few years ago, has served his Church
loyally in many Western Ontario
Centres and has been a power for
good in the life of, the church as a
whole, and in each community. In
all his activities Mrs. Holmes has
taken a definite and valuable share.
Two sons and one daughter make
up the family circle. These are
Wendell Holmes, of London; De
Witt Holmes, of Toronto, and Miss
Luella Holmes, who resides with her
parents In South London.
