ASV WIN FOR WINGtIA!VM Huron Oaks Trim Southampton lir First Semi -Final Game by Score of 25 to 3. The first game of the semi-finals in the 0. A. L. A., Intermediate series, between Wingham and Southampton, was played in the town park here on Friday afternoon last, the Huron Oaks defeating the visitors by a score of 25 to 3. The easy victory of the locals over the Southampton team, gives the winners an excellent chance to carry off the honors in 0. A. L. A. Inter- mediate series. Southampton was counted a strong team in the north, but the easy manner in which our boys disposed of them, bears out the state- ment. A large crowd was present, which shows the keen interest taken in lacrosse this year, people being present from Lucknow, Teeswater, Seaforth and other places. A large number, al- so were present from Southampton and Wiarton. The whole team played ex- cellent lacrosse, although Eddie Haw- kins was not, owing to his recent illness, up to his usual good form. Nevertheless, he gave good account of himself, and scored the flrat four goals. Although there were a large number of penalties, the game was clean throughout, the penalties being for minor offenses. C. V. Jeffers, of Orangeville, refereed the game, and sent the offenders to the fence at the least sign of roughness, and showed no partiality. The game opened with an exhibition of excellent lacrosse and for a while looked ae if it would be a closely con- tested game. After some minutes fast playing,Hawkins secured the ball and scored the first goal. This he repeated a few minutes later. The play now went to the Wingham goal and the visitors secured their first count. Again the play centered around the South- ampton goal and before timewas nailed another was added to Wingbam's score. The quarter closed 3 to 1 in favor of the local team. The next quarter was all Wingham's. The Oaks secured the ball at, the face off' and after a few rapid passes Haw- kins made a successful shot on the visitors' goal. The home team nowt struck the pace and the play centered around the Southampton goal during the whole quartet. They were deter- mined to lengthen their lead on the visitors and shot after shot reached Southampton's nets. Vanwyck and Hawkins scoring seven goals, while' Scott and Elliott added one each to the count, The Northerners were com- pletely outclased and failed to increase their count and at half time the score stood 12 to 1. In the third quarter the Huron Oaks slackened their pace and after some minutes' play the visitors were again successful in reaching the Wingharn nets. Southampton, however, did not have it all their own way. Wingham came back and added four goals to their credit and at call of time the score was 16-2. The last quarter was again Wing - ham's, and the first goal was made in short order, and although the visitors secured their third count, the home boys 'had them at their mercy and the stork'{ soared upward. The crowd now became wild with enthusiasm, and shouts were heard "Make it four more," "three more," "two, more," "one more," until with only a few minutes to play, the score stood 25 to 3. The crowd was satisfied. With such a lead the Huron Oaks are practically winners of the round. The visitors worked hard throughout the game, and although outclassed, played on with dogged per- sistence, and never once giving up the fight, The return game will be played in Southampton, this (Wednesday) after- noon. The winners of this round will play Orangeville the coming week, the winners of which will meet Weston in the finale.

WINS SEMI-FINAL GAME Wingham Whitewashes Belwood in a One -hit Game by a Score of 5 to 0, In a sudden death game played at Arthur on Wednesday of last week in the Northern League between Wingham and Belwood, Wingham took Belwood under their care. The score being 5 to 0, which fully indicates the j!iiay. Wing - ham opened the eyes of the local fans as well as the Belwood players, who have been cleaning up on everything around Arthur and were a little over confident of winning, if anything, so it looks as though Wingham were slated to win the League. The game was played under only fair conditions as the Wingham players were chilled by ti:eir song drive to Arthur and the cold wind blowing throughout the game, made it difficult for any team to play the srrsppy .ball Wingham produced. So the: the boys are to be doubly congratulated on their complete victory. To pick the star players of the Wing - ham crowd was to pick practically the whole team, The infield played , an errorless game, taking every chance given them. There were two errors in the outfield, doubtlessly due to the high wind and cold weather which kept the fielders from showing their best form. Belwood played a good game, es- pecially Blyth, who caught an errorless game, but he bad nothing on Geddes, who caught faultlessly. Telfer pitched a good steady game for Wingham, hav- ing Bel wood under subjection throughout the game and allowing only two hits. His support was excellent and was al- ways on the jump. Sargeant, who pitched the first two innings for Bel - wood, pitched a fairly good game, but was aurplanted in the third inni^g by Brawtey, who did excellent pitching, having loads of speed, but lacked the judgment of Telfer and was hot pie for the Wingham boys at times. White played an errorless, game on first and excelled himself at bat, being credited with three hits including a home run with two men on' bases. Scott, at second, made two most sensational catches, one which he caught after a brilliant run to right field, the other a liner he picked up at his boot tops, both being difficult plays and well handled. N. Geddes at short and Morgan on third nailed everything that came their way and made perfect throws to first, The outfield played a steady game, although there were two errors against them. both being excusable. Belwood boys played snappy ball at times and were responsible for a nice double play, doubling White at second and throwing out McCallum at first. McCallum hit to Brawley who threw to second, catching White and doubling over to first. It was the nicest play in the whole game. Belwood as a whole played a good game, but began to loose heart about the sixth, seeing not only Wingham's supremacy in the field, but at bat as well. Blyth went to bat first for Belwood and grounded a difficult out to White; Sargeant received a base on balls; Black sent a long hit to the outfield, that was missed and left Sargeant on third: At this stage of the game it looked as though Belwood was in for a couple of runs, but Telfer tightened tip and struck out the next two men. Met With Accident. What' might have been a serious accident happened to Mr. M. Armstrong on Thursday evening Last, as it was, he received several severe bruises, Mr. Armstrong was adjusting the rope on the neck of a steer, Which he was about to kilt at Mr. Louttit's slaughter- house, when the animal turned On him, striking him on the jaw with its head with such force that he was sent sprawling across the building in a dazed condition, The beast then rushed at him, pawing and butting him with its head. Wallace Aitchison, who was as- sisting'Mr. Armstrong, managed, after some effort, to draw the animal's head toward the ring, thus relieving Mr. Armstrong, Who, as sit was, received several painful bruises about the shoulders and hips. He was completely exhausted. When relieved and Could not proceed with the work. Although, at work, as usual, Mr. Armstrong feels pretty sote after his adventure.

Vandrick, auc- tioneer. Women's Institute. The regular monthly meeting of the Women's Institute was held in the C. 0. F. Hall on Thursday afternoon last and there was a large attendance of mem- bers, larger than usual. Miss P. Powell gave an interesting talk on her recent trip to California and which was very much enjoyed. Refreshments were served and the meeting was one of the most profitable ever held by the In- stitute. Johnston headed the list for Wingham and grounded out to short. Telfer followed and made the first hit of the game. N. Geddes sacrificed sending him to second. Scott then made a hit to the infield, leaving Telfer on third. Summers followed with a hit, scoring Telfer for the first run. Geddes then made Wingham's chances look good for a couple more runs with another hit, but Morgan put a crimp in the prospect- us by striking out. White was first up for Wingharn in the second and made his debut with a hit, but was put out trying to steal second by Blyth. This pat a stop to Wingham as far as base stealing went and they made no further attempts to steal on that gentleman Nothing further was done until the fifth inning, when Johnston scored on Teifer's sacrifice, and Geddes' hit. At this period Belwood began to loose heart, realizing Wingham's superiority. After this both teams went out in order until the last of the eighth, when White made the nicest hit of the day, scoring a home run with two men on bases. 'Pts completed the score, the next man being an easy out. Belwood attempted to retrieve themselves in the ninth, but were put out in apple pie order, leaving Wingham with the credit of white. oohing them, Telfer being credited with pitching a one bit genie.

Newton. It is with sincere and deep regret that we announce the death of Mrs - Newton, wife of Mr. George A. New- tont(brother of Messrs. Glen, Newton, Porters Hill, and Chas. Newton, Gode- rich,) which occurred at the ' family residence, 251 Dovercourt Road, Toronto, on Friday last. . Her death was not unexpected, as she had been in delicate health for some time, primarily the result of an accident. About fifteen months ago, while she and her young- est daughter were walking along a street, she had the misfortune to be struck by a runaway horse, which in- flicted injuries that led to her later illness and death. Before her marriage she was a Mise Smith, her parents re- siding a short distance west of Londes- boro, and was a person held in the very highest esteem. In addition to her husband,she leaves two daughters just budding into womanhood, another daughter having predeceased her sinee residing in Toronto. Mr. Newton was a highly esteemed resident of this place for thirteen years, and we voice the sentiment of his many old friends here- abouts when we say that their sym- pathies go out to him and his daughters in this hour of sore bereavement. A wealth of floret tributes covered the coffin and testified the appreciation in which she was held by those who knew her, among them being a handsome wreath from the Huron Old Boys' As- sociation, of Toronto, and one from the Foresters Court, of which Mr. New- ton is a member. The retrains were interred in Mount Pleasant Cemetery Toronto, On Monday. Flax Industry. Mr. J. A. McCracken, of St. Marys Secretary of the Canadian Flax Manu- facturers Association, was in town last week looking into the conditions of the flax industry in this section.

Pretty September Wedding. The home of Mr. and Mrs. Charles A. Rintoul was the scene of a very pleasant event yesterday, (Wednesday), it being the occasion of the marriage of their daughter, Chrissy, to Mr, N. W, Telfer, of the Bank of Hamilton. At high noon the bride, very charming in a gown of , white satin charmeuse and chiffon with pearl trimming and bridal veil with lilies -of -the -valley, entered the drawing room with her father to the strains of Mendelsohn's Wedding March artistically rendered by Miss Mamie Flood, of Toronto. The cere- mony was performed by Rev. Mr. Perrie. Little Jennet McLean, in white silk, carrying the customery basket of flowers, made a dainty ring bearer. "Somewhere A Voice Is Call- ing" was sung very effectively by Miss Alice Mann 'immediately after the ceremony. About thirty guests then repaired to the dining room, where the table dec- orated with sweet peas, asters and white and pink streamers, presented a very pleasing sight. Shortly after the wedding dinner, Mr, and Mrs, Telfer left for eastern points amid the good wishes of a host of friends. The bride was the recipient of many beautiful and valuable presents. Among the guests were relatives and friends from Toronto, Milton, London and Detroit. The two-yeat•o1d child of Mrs. Os- borne F.
