The Empress of Ireland of the Cana- dian Pacific Service. bound for Liver- pool, which left Quebec on Thursday evening last, was rammed by the heav- ily laden freighter, Storstad. She carried almost fourteen hundred per- sons, including men of distinction on both sides of the Atlantic. As the ves- sel left Quebec the stall' band of the Salvation Army, of Toronto, played "God be with you till we meet again," the two hundred delegates to the Army Congress standing around the band. As the vessel steamed down the river the fog thickened. After taking the mails aboard off Remouski, Capt. Kendall decided that the best course would be to lay to till morning. The activities of taking on the mails being at an end, the passengers and most of the crew were in their berths. As the steamer Storstad, a Norwegian ship engaged in carrying coal from Nova Scotia to up -river parts came steaming up the river about 4.30 Friday morning she struck the Empress of Ireland amid- ships with such force that the side of the great vessel was pierced and the plates torn off below waterline. At once the Empress began to fill and in fourteen minutes from the time the collision occurred. the vessel went down,. carrying with her about nine hundred and ten passengers who were unable to make their way to the decks. Assist- ance was immediately given by the collier and other vessels and about four hundred and seventy-seven pas- sengers and crew were saved. A large number of the passengers'were from Toronto and a number of the head officers of the Salvation Army as well as the majority of the Staff Band are among the victims. Among those who were drowned were Mr. and Mrs. James Grigg, of Chilli- wack, B. C., who intended spending the summer in the Old Land. Mr. Grigg was a brother of Mrs. Wm. Hopper of Morris township and visited in this sec- tion some years ago. Mrs, Hopper and her son, Mr. Harry Hopper, left on Tuesdayfor Quebec to claim the re- mains. On Wednesday afternoon last the boys of the W. H. S. won for themselves an honour in the line of sport for which they have long been striving, when they succeeded in defeating the Woodstock Baptist College football team in the final of the spring series of games for the Hough Cup. This cup is given as a prize for the winning team of players chosen from the Collegiate Institutes, High Schools, Continuation Schools and other schools of Western Ontario do- ing work of the standard and it may be completed for in both spring and fall terms. It has been the coveted prize which has caused many a strenuous game of football between various teams from the schools and it has been held at different times by Clinton, Seaforth, Berlin, Listowel and other towns, but never before has it come to Wingham. Listowel H. S. held it for 4 or 3 years till the spring of 1913 when they were defeated by Wingham H. S. who had tried unsuccessfully to take it from them several times previously. Although successful in defeating Listowel and Clinton laet year our boys rnet defeat at the hands of Woodstock and conse- quently the cup rested there.. This year the team practised hard and although defeated by Berlin here on May 16 by a score of 2-1, they won a decided victory in Berlin cn May 23 as the score was 4.1. As Woodstock College closes this week and as it is necessary to finish the games before June 1st, Wingham was asked to go to Woodstock on May 25. They objected to this as it gave them two long trips close together and the matter was finally settled by playing a sudden death game on the town park on Wednesday last in which our boys won a brilliant victory, the score being 3-0. The victory was not an easy one by any means but was due to fast, hard work by the forwards and steady check- ing by the defence, men. We hope to see the cup soon and to hold it for sev- eral years to come. Not only has W. II. S. won the Hough Cup but it has also won for itself a reputation among other schools for pro- ducing clean and manly sportsmen. An exhibition game will be given by the team on the park against a _town team on Wednesday evening. Come out and see how they work. . The half -holiday on Wednesday was given by the H. S. Board on condition that school be carried (Ai as usual on June 3rd. The boys appreciate their action. Mrs. Peter Fisher is visiting in God• e ri ch.
