A movement has been set on foot
to form an athletic association in
Exeter- -that will function twelve

labor1 ail lines of recreation and sport.
The matter was brought up at a ban
quet tendered to the baseball boys
in the Central Hotel on Friday even
ing. The members of the ball team
together with Reeve W. D. Sanders,
the executive and a few others, who
have' backed the team this summer,
sat down to a sumptuous banquet
provided by Mine Host C. Lee in
the dining-room of the hotel at eight
o’clock Friday evening. After the
boys had partaken of a full-course
chicken dinner a number of toasts
and speeches were delivered, with
the Vice-President, M. R. Complin
occupying the chair. The Hon. and the young ladies spent a very l preSident, W. G. Medd, M.L.A., was

lines of sport. He thought the time

athletic association that would em

sport and possibly provide a meet
ing-place for the young people of
the Community properly supervised

izing an athletic association. The
motion was seconded by L. J. Pen-
hale and carried. Secretary-Treas
