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.

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: lst-$100.00 cash-Tom Vitte, Gor- rie. 2nd-C,C.M.
