W. J. Gourley, of Ciliary, arrived in

28, accompanied by Mrs. Gourley and
their two childron, and passed
through elichigan, Indiana, I11inesie.

and entered Manitoba at Gretna.
Mr. Gourley is of tours'., •not trying
to make a record run. Ile and his
party were touring in Ontario from
the: beginning of .May, being in most
places the first car out this spring,
till they left the province, and on
Empire Day at Exeter they joined
the civic procession and the city fa-
thers rode in the car. tie went'
1,502 miles by .road :n 120 hours.
sometime through mud from three
to eight inches deep and through two
severe storms. The automobile, a
Ford, with Fisk tyres, travell(d 3,01)0
miles without a punetur',eind 3,700
miles without any break tgc except
pf
a spring. One difficulty they met
w it h at several place. -4 wart that it lien
a bridge was under T(•pair no notice
w.oy put up, and in sand and mud
they had to back out for a consider-
able distance because there was no
room to turn. The country
and the roads :Ire hardly yet
prepared for meter car traffic and
one of the things that is greatly
needed is an eutomobae guide.
Wonderfully little infornsatien is to
be had from country people as to die-
tances and direction', but in spite of
there minor drawbacks 'the trip wn!
on the whole such a delightful rine
that Mr. and Mrs. Gourley think
that if the pleasures of motoring
were better known, and if conven-
iences such as an automobile guide
and reap were provided many people
would sp"ltd a day in the,
way. Gasoline could always lie
bad. 9ornetlnes not et very

last Friday night.
Crediton boosts of ball players
ranging in size from the little fellow
with knickers to nice with the pro-
portions of August Hill and for some
years back we have tried to get up
a team 01 some kind to tritn the
players in the German settlement,
but each time we failed to votes
home with gladdened spirits. How-
ever Exeter's reputation has been
redeemed and it was up to the busi-
netts and professional men to do it.
Last Friday night a select bunch
of tho business men's team got to-
gether, borrowed a few mita, clubs
and a ball and went to Crediton with
determination to do or die, and
they succeeded most beautifully in
doing the former. The excellent
crop of hay in the outfield had been
harvested making the playing much
more pleasant.
At the outset it locked as though
the Exeter contingent were up
against the reel thing. Exeter went
to bat first and the inning was
scoreless, only one man reaching a
base. In Crediton's half six runs
were chalked up and things looked
cheerless for us. Bet the aoeond in-
ning changed matters and the visi-
tors batted in six runs tieing the
score. while Crediton couldn't get
anywhere near the .home plate. In
the third Exeter added another run
and again blanked Crediton. In the
fourth we 'got three more, at the
same 'tithe giving Crediton another
daub with the whitewash brush. In
the fifth Exeter went right after
Claude Bluett, who was hctnding out
the curves and spit balls for the
Crediton boys, several singles, dou-
bles. a three baser and two hone
runs, .netting a total of six more
runs for the inning. In this inning
Crediton managed to get onto Billy
Statham's twisters and put :three
runs over the plate. In the sieth
and last innings Exeter tallied five
three, making the
favor of the
was replete with
also some funny
ones. One feature of the game ons
the base running of Barney Brown
to first on a foul tip. This exer•
tion was a little too stronuous for
the 'genial Barney, and after fruit-
lessly hitting at the next ball, re-
signed in favor of Fred Young. Sam
Brown made some 'good plays at
short and Mr. Wentzel would have
played n teeter third, but tiie sun
knocked out his vision. ile retired
to left field but the sun etill both-
crcd him. Billy Beaman out of five
times at bat mode four two base'
hits. In the third inning Doc. Amos
cut off a couple of runs by catching
a long drive. Billy Statham certain-
ly starred in the box striking out
12 men, while Doc. Cole gave hirn
signs from behind the bat. It would
take 'too long to give an account of
the spectacular Ierforniancrns made
by the other ,players and 'herewith
