group play-offs by winning two games
in succession. At Moncrieff they won
by a score of 6-2 and here on Friday
night they won by the narrow margin
of one run, the score being 9-8.
It is not known as yet with whom
the local team will play nosy but it
may be the winners of the Goderich -
Clinton group,
There was a large crowd on hand
to cheer the boys 'on and the final
Wingham run scored by Hoffman was
disputed by the lads from Moncrieff.
However the umpire ruled he scored
and that ended the matter so far as
the local team were concerned.

HOWICK LIONS
STAGED FROLIC
This Street Carnival Maintained High
Standard '
ins Concert Company of Elmira, pack-
ed the Township Hall to the doors,
and all were agreed that the presenta-
tion was excellent. The considerate
hearing which the crowded audience
gave the entertainers spoke volumes.
Immediately after the concert the hall
was cleared for the old-time dance,
music being supplied by McDowell's
orchestra of Beigrave, with George
Jordan as floor manager. This was a
popular feature until 2:00 a.m., as was
also the modern jitney dance on the
large outdoor floor, with Carruthers'
popular dance band.
The ever-popular bingo booth and
other games did a big business all
night, and the refreshment booth staffs
were "run off their feet". The gener-
ous supplies failed to meet the demand
for some commodities.
The draws for the lucky tickets on
the ten prizes offered were made short-
ly after midnight, with L. E. Cardiff,
M.P., and John W. Hanna, M.P.P.,
doing the honors. The winners were
as follows:

rie.
