Niagara Thirty-six girls and seven adults attended the bus trip to Niagara last Monday, arranged by Mrs. R. B. Worthington, President of the Lucan- Clandeboye C.G.LT. and had a most enjoyable trip. Everyone was thrilled by the view from the Seagram Tower, and some of the girls climbed to the top. At Marineland, unfortunately, the dolphins were not performing that day, but the sea-lions were most amusing by their tricks and showed much intelligence. The girls did not believe the alligators were alive, they were so still, but when one of them saw the eyes rolling, she was frightened. Of considerable interest was the animal farm, and most of the girls took part in feeding the deer and goats, One girl obtained a bottle of milk and fed the young kids. There were so many places of interest on the way, that it was i.npossible to stop for every one of them, but a stop was made at No. 3 lock on the Welland Canal, to watch how two boats passed through. Another stop was made at the Whirlpool Rapids to watch the aerocar, but no one was anxious to make the crossing. Everyone found the waxworks most interesting, but no one particularly liked the Chamber of Horrors. The girls were interested in the clothes worn by the Queen, the Royal family, and other people of note. Mr. & Mrs. Sheridan Revington, Mr. & Mrs. Lyle Revington, Gary Revington and Miss Ann George, and Mr. & Mrs. William Allarington were guests at the Paletta-Chici wedding at Regina Mundi Church, Hamilton and at the following reception at the Sharaton-Connaught, Hamilton.

They lost a couple of rough ones last week, Monday to Craig 11-10 in eight innings and Wednesday at Poplar Hill it was a 3-2 loss in seven innings.
