Within the last few days sports of different kinds have been receiving considerable attention from. the people of town. Although in allgames they have not been successful in defeating their oppenents, yet the .games have been close and interesting, and the results show that we have in town material that is capable of becoming the finished artiqle even if it be now in a raw condition. A continuation to improve at the rate they have been of late improving •would soon land them in the firstrank. • 'Last Wednesday four quoit pitchers of Seaforth drove over to Exeter and engaged in a friendly match with the quoiters of town, on the ground oppo- site Harvey Bros'. flour mill, The players from Seeforth were Messrs. Beattie, Steward, Reid and Reid, and the Exeter men were Ed. Teeble, Jai: Grieve, W. J. Bissett and T. .Boyle. The ends were in fine condition, the visitors stating that they were -in bet- ter shape than any others they had ever seen. Qnite a number of specta- tors were present and watched the game withinterest, Thirty-one points made a finish. • Treble succeed- ed in defeating his opponent by a score of 31-21, while the other home players went down to defeat.' The final score was 111-92 in favor of the visitors. On Labor Day, Sept. 5th, the same players played a. return match in Sea - forth when Treble and Boyle defeated their men in handsome style, Boyle securiug 31 to his opponents 11, and Treble 31 to 18. Grieve and Bissett pitched fine names but they were up against hardpropositionsin Stewart and W. Reid. The total score how- ever was in favor...of Seaforth by the small margin of 3 points, 91-88. Quoit tossing is a game that has been a dead letter in Exeter foe a great number of years, and it is only -within the past two months that some of the players have commenced the game. Considering the facts that the greatest essential to success in the game is practise and training, and that our men are comparatively new at the sport, the,resnits in the two matches have been satisfactory. It is to be hoped that the players continue to practise, as the game is an interesting and profitable one to the player, and at least interesting to the spectator. Crediton and Exeter Baseball teams came together twice during. the past week on the recreation grounds at Exeter. On Thursday afternoon last the teams indulged in the best ball that has been played on the Exeter grounds since the days of Lockie Tait and Prank Anderson (some 15 long years since). The game was practi- cally errorless, the pitchers received excellent support in the field and on the bases'and the only way to ac- count for Crediton getting the greater nuniber of runs is that they were suc- cessful in bunching their hits in two or three innings. The score was 6-3. The Labor Day game of baseball was scarcely in the same class as the previously mentioned game, and al- though some good plays were made a few costly errors on the part of the home team gave the visitors a lead in the score of 11-5 at the finish. Both pitchers were freely hit, but McCon- nel, the Exeter twirler, did not receive the support that he should have had. The game, however, was only ragged at times. Outside of those occasions a good exhibition was given. Up to the ninth innings the score stood.11-1 in favor of Orediton, but the home team succeeded in bringing four runs in the ninth. A good crowd was pres- ent to witness the game of baseball and also the game of football which followed. The final score in the football match between Exeter and Crediton Clubs was 1-1. If anything the play was a little in favor of Exeter, the ball being kept around the Cregiton goal the greater part of the time. The high wind which prevailed at the time was a drawback to the game, and prevented either team doing any brilliant work, although at times a little good combination play was in- dulged in. Two rinks of Exeter bowlers under the leadership of skips jos. Davis and F. W. Gladtnan took part in the Bowl- ing Tournament on the Clinton grounds on Lobor Day. Others in the rink with Jos. Davis were Frank Wood. R. S. Lang and W. W. Taman, while F. W. Glachnan was assisted by Levett, Rev. Perkins and Rev. Martin. The first mentioned rink played two games with Clinton rinks and were defeated in both. The latter rink played three games and won out in two. Mitchell, Seaforth, Goderich and other towns were well represent- ed, and many close and interesting games were played. The manner in which the Clinton Club entertained their visitors could not have been sur- passed, and the Exeter rinks are loud in their praise elf the treatment they received and of the green upon which they bowled, Township of Stephen Court of Revision.

I1ENRY EMBER, Township Clerk, Trivitt 'Memorial Anniversary IT ri Tile Anniversary services of the en Years'Practice Trivitt Memorial church were held on Sunday last, The Rev. T.. R. O'Meara of Toronto, Reached two excellent sermons, morning and evening, to ap- preciative congregations. The Rev, gentleman took for his text in the morning St. John 12: 3 verse and gave a most instruotive and fascinating ex- position of thlt portion of scripture. .Lie had not, tittered many sentences before be had -made an impression on every personin the congregation as to his power in preaching, and as he ad- vanced in the'discourse, rapt attention and admiration were given to each word as it iloated from the charming speaker's lips: His kindly eye, his striking intellectual appearance are .onmistakableevidences of the man's great anility.. His deep voice, his charming Irish characteristics, his very natural gestures, his inapassiona,te dellivery all went to make his discourse all the more interesting. His sermon showed profound knowledge of the scriptures and a wide acquaintance with literature. In the evening the •text was Hebrews 6: 19 and part of the 20, from which he gave a masterly ex- position of his sebject, While the church was well filled in the morning it was crowded to overflowing in the evening, the seating cepaeity of the church being entirely exhansted. The ehurch was beautifully decorated with flowers, plants, etc. The singing by the choir was of a high order:And con- tributed rnuch to the •sriccess of the services. The solos by IVA.. Pen. Jones, of St. Peter's church, New York, were a,drnirably,rendered. Mr. Jones pos- sesses a pure, rich, musical baritone of good volume and elastic compass, clear and pleasing alike in high and low reg- ister., and his ennunciation being so clear that every word is understood. The serviees closed with great satisfac- tion to all connected therewith. The pastor, Rev. R. J. M. Perkins, asked for liberal contributions and the tesult of his appeal must be more than grati- fying when it is censidered that he asked for $800 and on summing up the total contributions for the day that over $375 was the result, more than double the amount contributed on any previous anniversary. • Dashwood On Thursda.y, 1st inst., Miss Flossie • Snell returned to her studies at the Conservatory of Music, Toronto, after spending the holidays with her par- ents here. -On Wednesday evening last Mrs, E.

Help was soon on hand, but the fire had gained such headway that the cottage could not be saved. Nothing else was burned. In- cendiarism is thought to have been the cause of the fire.
