The weather was all that could be desired for eitch au occasion and with timely three - hundred more happy pleasureseekers, tvitoste hearts were light with pleasur- able antwipation. the loug, train pulled out and spedrapidly on to leer desti- nation, the old "won horse bearing on her liendlight it large melded eone pess and square, indicating the aus- mees under whiebthe affair was being conductel.

As the train pulled in the Kincardine 13and struck up a lively air and the eager crowd were soon mingling with the hendreds who had gathered at the depot to greet them, the, 'crhole making au immense mass, proeessiou WAS formed and headed by the Kincardine and Exeter Bands marehed Victoria Park where it was Weeded that addresses of welcome would be delivered, but for some un- aeconntable reason that part of the program was diepensed wit le The town was gaudily decorated .011 all sides, every store being embellished with flags, bunting of various colors and mottos of 'o elcome. indicative of the cordial and warm reception aecords ed the excursionists. At the park the arrangements were complete; affording every aceonnuodae tion that could be wished for to make a picnicparty happy. Hot ami cold water, pavilions:furnished with tables, swings, etc., all free. The lacrosse match between the Clin- ton and Exeter teams in the afternoon proved quite excitiog itud was a, fairly good exhibition of the game. Both teams labored bard for yietoryand with the exception of an occasional wrangle, which invariably happens on all such occiisions, the game was an interesting one. After an hour's play Clinton had scored four goals and Exeter two. The base -ball gante-if it could be called smell -was but an attempt and foll short of being, in the least intetestingn The E.'xeter team was a picked aggre- gation of non practiced players who went into the game merely foe pastime. However, some enjoyed the game and if not interesting it was amusing. The Exeter Band did much. to enliv- en the occasion and. the many beauti- ful selections rendered were highey appreciated by all. The steam yacht, "Gilpie," assist- ed materially in completing the day's program enti although small served the purpose of satisfying those of the excursionists who were anxious for e sail on the lake. She made four trips during the day and on each occasion was clowded. Shortly after eight o'clock the train 1)11110(1 out for the homeward joorney with t11 on board highly delighted, carrying with them the warmest feel- ings towardthe people of Kincardine for the hospitable Manner they had been entertained. On the whole the day was most pleasantly spent and well worth of repitition to the same point. The committee are to be COD- gmtulated upon the brilliant success of their efforts which were appreciated by It might be said. that no little disap- pointmentwas manifest by both the ex- cmeionists and the citizens of Kincar- dine when it became known that Con- ductor Quirk, who did so much in mak- ing it the unparalleled success it was, and who, it was generally understood, would run the train, was not present on the occasion but it appears the Su- perintendent of the Road made a change in the arrangement. The Kincardine Review will print the following in this week's issue, for which we are indebted to its editor for an advanced proof, viz: "It was August the third and quite soft were the skies" when excursion- ists to the number of 852 came into Kincardine. They came th eleven coaches, a special train conducted by Mr. Dore. It was fully expected that conductor Quirk, who did so much to initiate ancl carry the excursion to such a happy issue, would. be in charge of the excursionists, but the Superin- tendent decreed otherwise. That there was general disappointment over this is a mild statement of the face Mr. Quirk would. have been of Great ser- vice to those of our citizens who un- dertook to give the visitors a good time. The train arrived near 11 o'clock. The Kincardine band, sixteen in num- bee. Wearing their black ceps and white coats, struckup a lively air as the train pulled in. Two waggons provided by the town were in waiting to bring baskets and other parcels to the peek. It was intended that a pro- cession should. be formed to march to Victoria Park to hear an address of welcoMe from Mayor Martin. The bands and a few processiOnists parad- ed at the park but the majority of the' visitors dropped off at the hotels or . walked to Lansdowne Park. Conse- quently there was no formal. address of welcome. There were many in- formal addresses, however, that quite made up for this and they were genu- ine and backed up by acts that voiced :Kilicardipe'l desire to give . hospital treatment to its guests. A better -be .haved and. mere ,respeetable crowd never before assembled, in Kincardine and this is the cobOensus:' of OpiniOn jn The.artangements nt the park were such as to meet the needs of the pie - nicers. The two small pavilieps and the large one were open and. the tables • end forms were gladly put into re- quisition. Hot water and ice water was there in quantities. Swings were there too and ..ehildren made free use of thew,. Most of the excursioeists had their meals at the hotels. Al- though the hotels had. not cortuted on so huge a crowd, yet they tont the de - mend fully and expeditously. The lacrosse match between Clinton and Exeter was fast and excitiug enough to hold the crowd, Clinton won a score of 4 te 2. There were a few squaboles over judgments and, • a little rough playing too, but it was not too exciting or furious for a lacrosse match, . It was wildly, exeitiug how- ever, when, played along side of the baseball metal which was a rather tante affairs Exeter was in no poen titm to put up e team that could begin to 1iold its c• The visitors were shut out altogether while Iemeardine tem up a score of runs... The Exeter band gave a convert in the peek during the course of the. afternoon. The band is a first-clase orte and Exeter has good reason to be proud of it. The boys were as generous as they were proficient, They played on the street until after &o'clock and won the applause of the multitude, The train was delayed un- til after the hoar set for returning and the inepatient crew polled her out. without giving the crowd due maim A rush was made for the moving Min. Some got on and others did uot, The /waken= was one of those left behind. The train came back, however.

" German Review of the Conference. Berlin, Aug. 7. -The semi-official Norsideutscho Allgemeine Zeitung yester- day published an exhaustive review of the peace conference at The Hoene. in which it says the extension of the Geneva convention to naval warfare, and a detailed definition of the laws and usages of war, constitute a great advance in civilization. The paper adds: "It will be the important duty a the Government to see that the arbitration and mediation rules, by misapplication, do not cause the dangers they are intended to avert. The efforts of the conference to humanize war are a valuable legacy to the coining century, and will bring lasting glory to Emperor Nicholas." Soldiers Struck by Lightning.
