A LESSON It was fortunate for a small lad the other day that the manager of one of the Exeter stores showed len­ iency when the lad was caught pilfer­ ing some small articles from the store. The manager took the lad to the office and gave him a straight talk that the lad should not soon forget. The lad confessed that he had been tempted to try stealing be­ cause some of the othei- boys had been getting away with it. boys had bettei1 take warning same leniency might not be at all times. Following the text of the King’s speech at the luncheon given by the British Columbia Government at Victoria on Tuesday; The Queen and I have crossed Canada from East to West, from ocean to ocean, and now stand on the shores of tli'e Pacific. Your kind words, Mr. Premier, have set the seal on the wonderful welcome that has been given us at every stage of our long westward journey. I thank you for them; and here, at Canada’s Western gateway, I thank all those thousands of Cana­ dians whom we have seen since we landed at Quebec, for the loyalty and affection that they have offered so generously to us both. To travel through such a grana country is a privilege to any man but to „ travel through it to the ac­ companiment of such an overwhelm­ ing testimony of good will, from old and young alike, is an experience that has, I believe, been granted to few people in this world, Never to Forget It We are deeply grateful for it; we shall nevei’ forget it; and the inspir­ ation it has given usr will hearten and encouarge us for the rest of our lives. In the course of this journey I have seen the old settled parts of the Dominion which have a long history behind them, and I have seen the newer parts, of tlement is still of living man. that here-I am as Ottawa is from London, I realize something of the vastness of Canada. When I saw the broad plains, chang­ ed by the pioneers to the uses of which within. When as far the first set- the memory I remember from Ottawa man, and the mighty mountain ranges through which they cut their roads, I began to understand the qualities of the Canadian people. For the most of you, the present task must be the development of the heritage already secured by those who have gone before. Nevertheless in this vast land, you have also still before you the rewards of pioneer­ ing and the prizes of exploration. You have only touched the fringes of the great north. Once those north­ ern wilds were considered of little value except as the home of fur­ bearing animals. Now they are be­ ing surveyed and mapped, and set­ tled so far as settlement is possible. Sorry To Miss North Valuable mines are being worked right up to the Arctic Circle. There in the North is a field of enterprise for youth which it will take genera­ tions to exhaust. I could only wish it had been possible for me to make a trip into that region which holds so much of Canada’s future. Here, on the shores of the Pacific, I can realize the position tha* Can­ ada occupies. Hei’ Atlantic windows look to Europe, her Pacific windows to Asia and the Far East. As science reduces the barriers of space, this country will become a thoroughfare between two hemispheres. Some day the peoples of the world will come to realize that prosperity lies in co-operation, and not in con­ flict. With the dawn of that brighter day, I look to Canada playing an in­ creasingly important part in further­ ing friendly relations between the East and the West. With the widen­ ing of her role of international in­ terpretation will come corresponding benefits to mankind.

The game was lost to Exeter in the last half of the sec­ ond innings when Leonard Harvey in the box just couldn’t get control of the ball and walked six men be­ fore he was relieved by Jack Moise. Harvey had been showing up well in practice and no doubt he will be in the box again and we have every confidence he will turn in a much better performance next time, runs crossed 'the nings. Hensall the 4th; one in the 8th. This game on the mound and he made a great job of it. The Exeter team were slow in starting the scoring but picked up towards the last. They scored one in the 3rd; one in the 6th two in the 7th; one in the eight two in the ninth. Tudor in the for Hensall had 17 strike-outs and Moise had 14. Nichols, smallest player on the Hensall team, won the greatest applause from the fans. He played a great game at short, made a spectacular catch that nearly took him off his feet while running backwards and supported second sack like a big-league player. Motz played a good game for Exeter behind the bat. Jim Bowey, manager of the Exeter team, said he was mighty proud of the showing made by his boys and that they will give the fans something to talk about , when they meet Clinton here on June 8th.

McAree’s pitching performance for Mitchell was the feature of the "game, with twelve strike-outs to his credit at the end of the fifth inning, when he was relieved by Pridham. t Mitchell bagged three runs in the first and three more in the third when Wright, Pridham and Leppard crossed the plate, the latter two on a two-base hit by Casey. Exeter scor­ ed two in the second and two in the fifth. iSmith of Exeter was injured at first base in the first half of the fourth and was replaced by Fawcett. Fulton opened the second half of the rourth with a three-bagger on a long, hard drive into centre field, bring­ ing in Mitchell’s seventh | Aree added one more to that inning. Excitement ran high l with the visitors to bat. F. Creech had crossed bringing Exeter’s total run. Me­ th e score in in the fifth Lawson and the plate up to four. With three men on bases and two out, McAree saved the day by fanning Fawcett and retiring the side. With two out, Page came to bat and drop­ ped a nice one just beyond second base, and .came in on Fulton’s single. Ross Pearce substituted for Turner who was unable to finish the game.
