The return game between South- ampton and the Huron Oaks was played in Southampton on Wednesday after- noon last, which resulted in a victory for the Wingham boys, by a score of 13 to 9, and winning tri% round by twenty-six goals. The visiting team were not in good form, no doubt caused by the long auto trip, and did not put up the natty lacrosse they are accustom- ed to playing. The game was clean throughout, and was well handled by Referee Hancock, of Owen Sound, At three-quarter time the score was 8 to 8, but in the last quarter the Huron Oaks, who stood the pace better, took the lead and scored five goals, while the Northerners added only one to their count. The teams were the. same as played here on August 27th, with the exception that Morton played on the Southampton defence ,in place of J. McVittie, who was ill. The teams were:— Wingham—A. Knechtel, goal; Ander- son, point; McLean, cover; Holmes, first defence; C. Hawkins, second de- fence; Fetterley, centre; VanWyck, second home; Elliott, first home; Scott, outside home; E. Hawkins, inside home. Southampton—McHaney, goal; Trout, point;' Morton, cover; Knechtel, first defence; Haight, second defence; Mc- Phail, centre; W.

The return game will be played in Orangeville on Friday afternoon next, when it is expected that a special train will be run to Orangeville. The Huron Oaks feel confident they can defeat the Dufferins in the 'return game and will put forth every effort to win to- morrow's game in the eastern town. The winners of this round will meet the winners of the Weston -Campbell - ford contest for the championship of Ontario. In the Weston-Campbeliford games, Weston has a lead of six goals, with Campbellford to play in Weston during the coming week. The teams were:— Wingham One of the best' exhibitions of amateur lacrosse was played here at the town park Monday afternoon, when the Huron Oaks and the Dufferins of Orangeville crossed sticks in the first game of the, second round of the semi-finals. The game resulted in a tie 6.6, which indicates the strenuous efforts put forth by both teams. About one thousand people were present to witness the contest Orangeville bringing about one hundred and fifty enthasiasts with them by special train, while a goodly number came by auto from Goderich, Clinton, Chesley, and .other places. Both teams played excellent lacrosse, and while the Huron Oaks had the best of the play throughout the game, and made shot after shot on the visitors' nets, they were unable to run up a large score. Booth, who played goal for the Dufferins, did excellent work, and put. up a star game at the nets. Although there were a Large number of penalties, the game was clean throughout, the penalties being for minor offences. Hocking, of Tor- onto, refereed the game, and sent the offenders to the fence at the least sign of roughness or dirty work, and showed no partiality. The game opened with the play centred around the visitors' nets and after several attempts Elliott succeeded in scoring the first goal. The play no* came to the Wingham goal and the Dufferins were successful in scoring two goals before time was called. The first quarter ended in favor of the visitors by a count of 2 to 1. The next quarter was all Wingham's and the ball was kept close to the Orangeville nets for the entire twenty minutes, but in spite of all efforts could not run up the score, although time and again a shot was made at the visitors' nets. Finally, however, Haw- kins, showed how the trick was done, and before half time was called, Fetterly scored another. The Dufferins failed to score in the quarter and at half time the score was 3 to 2 in favor of the home team. In the third quarter the Huron Oaks again had the best of the play, and after some minutes strenuous wotk, oott succeeded in reaching the Orange- ville nets. The play again came to the home goal and the boys from the east- ern town succeeded in raising their count to three. After the face off the ball again hovered around the Orange- ville nets and before time was called Scott had added another for the home team. At the end of the third quarter the score stood 5 to 3 in favor of the Huron Oaks. The last quarter went to the visitors, and slowly the lead won by the home boys faded away. The Dufferins put forth an extra effort and scored two goals, making it a tie. The gene now became intensely interesting and when the Dufferins succeeding in reaching the Wingham nets for the third time, it looked as though the home team were doomed to defeat. But Scott again came to. the rescue and with only a few minutes to play, succeeded in reaching the visitors' netrfor the sixth Knechtel Goal Anderson Point McLean Cover Point Holmes 1st Defence Orangeville Booth Cushion Kearns Cranston C.

A striking illustration of the financial progress throughout the two older provinces of the Dominion during re- cent years, with respect to banking facilities, is graphically shown in a new edition of a Bank Map of Ontario and Quebec which has recently been issued by the Department of the Interior at Ottawa. According to the information which has been incorporated in the publication the number of branches in operation in 1901, the first year for which statistics of this nature are given, totalled approximately 500, in comparison with 2,000 at the present time. This interesting compilation of current banking information is valuable also as a Railway Map showing as it does the location, on the various main and branch lines, of all towns and cities.
