The main feature of the program was the whistling solos by Miss McManis, while some of the very bese local talent assisted. The house was one of the most disorderly one would like to hear, and despite the efforts of the management, a pack of roughs at the rear of the hall could not be subdued. Had good order prevailed, the concert would have been highly ap- preciated, but as it .was, only a small part of the program was heard. Pro- ceeds about $150. 'Personals. Mr. W. E.

The dispute in Exeter on May 24th be- tween the ball clubs as to places, in which St Marys was given the alternative to either play London for second money or leave the grounds, the latter of which they accepted, has resulted in St. Marys fyling their claims, through a so- licitor, for 1st prize. Had the St. Marys club not been disposed to wrangle, the affair might have been amicaly settled. At the Queen's birthday celebration at St Marys on May 2Oth, R. Eacrett of Exeter, won let prize in the hurdle race ; 1st prize in the high jumping contest and 3rd prize in the 100 -yard race. The lacrosse match between Seaforth and St. Marys resulted in favor of Seaforth by a score of 3-2. There was a very large crowd present and the celebration was a success. Unscrupulous bayers are gulling the farmers in some localities by stating that the enhanced duties imposed by the United States force them to pay less for the farmers' products. This is misleading and deceptive, says the Nation, as the Ameri- can tariff is still being debated in Congress and there is no certainty when the bill will become law. It is very evident that the bill will undergo a radical change before it is ready for the President's signature, and it is altogether likely y that, even should the bill pass, it will not go into operation before the let July; 1091. Tuesday evening the little two-year, old son of Mr. W. R. Garner. of London, while. playing about, fell off the bridge into the creek which crosses Colborne street, be- tween St. James and Grosvenor street, striking his head with great violence against the stones, which partially stunned him. The water is very deep at this place, and had it not been for the timely assist- ance of a youth who was, attracted by the child's cries, he might have met a watery grave, This is the third child of Mr.: Garner's that has narrowly escaped drowning in this plane. Mr. Garner was a former resident of Exeter. • Oalekec snatch.. A cricket match beteen Clinton and Exeter clubs will be played on the grounds of the latter, to -day (Thursday.)

Two men were yielding sledge -hammers while Mr. Verity held the object ; and one of the hammers gliding off the anvil, struck 1Ta.

Good Enough To Steal, Some weeks ago we accused the Sea - forth Sun of stealing news from the Tunes and palating it off as its own ; to which it retorts : "Our rat-poisoneoteni should put some news into its columns.' before accusing anyone of stealing it." Rat -poison, when too ninth is taken, is dangerous, and if the Sun continues Publishing a second-hand edition of the Trams every week, the results might prove fatal to our eaten). That which is stolen is generally coveted, and the Sun must be fond of rat -poison. Exoter Diatriet It3eetts' , The annual meeting of the Exeter District of the Methodist church was held at Parkhill on Wednesday and Thursday of last week. The clergy and lay delegates were well represented, and a splendid meeting was held. Besides the rountine business, resolutions were passed niemoralizing the General Con - Terence to make some change in the mauner of raising the Superannuation, Fund, and to abolish the Quarterly: Meeting; system, substituting thereforaa annual ticket of membership,. Concert, The concert given. in the town hall an. Thursday evg, last, under the auspices of the \Vest Huron. Teachers' Assoeia- tion, was one of the most successful ever listened to in Exeter, and to the pro- moters of the affair much craft is due. Although an impromptu affair, the at- tendance was large. Among those who took part, WO might mention :—The Exeter Glee club; Choral club ; Gidloy's orchestra ; besides other local talent in the persons of Mr, Mciatlum, Mr. H. Kinsman, Misses Fish, Johns and Her- sey, Each of the participants laid ad- mirably, and to say the least the concert was thoroughly appreciated throughout. Huron For Stoat, The reputation for Huron county as a stock producing locality isyearly becom- ing better, and now ranges among the best on the continent. On Monday, Messrs. Sparring & Robinson of St. Marys, shipped from Exeter station eleven car loads of export cattle tor the English markets direct. Mr, Thomas Coates of Usborne alone delivered nine- teen head for which he received $1,500. The majority of them he had only fed since March. On the whole the ship- ment comprised the finest lot of cattle that have left Exeter station for some time, and the major number of them were purchased by Mr. James Oke. No less a sum than $15,000 was paid to farm- ers of the surrounding townships, for cattle on Monday. Who says that stock raising does not pay? Exeter at Parkhill, The Queen's Birthday was celebrated in Parkhill this year on Thursday last by a monster demonstration, including a base ball match between St. Marys and Exeter. The game resulted in favor of St, Marys, as will be seen by the follow- ing score : EXETER, ST.

The Hyers Comedy Company will ap- pear in the Opera House on Thursday, Friday and Saturday eves., under the auspices of the Exeter brass band. The London Advertiser says :—"The only comedy company in the world, the artists in which are colored, appeared at the Grand Opera House last evening, To say that the audience laughed uproariously would be but stating mildly the manner in which many portions of the evening's per- formance were received. The singing and dancing of the troupe is of an infectious character, and everything seemed to re- quire an encore. The death of. Mrs, Charlotte Nichols of Peterboro, Ont., widow of the late Mr. Robert Nichols, is announced. The de- ceased was born in Cavan, Ireland, in 1870. She (sampled the position of she "richest. lady in Canada," herwealth reaching three millions in bank stocks and other property. She was very benevolent and gave away large sums in private charity and public benefaction. She endowed the Nichols Hospital at Peterboro with $50,000, and one of her last ants was to put a cheque for $12,000 on the plate of her church to wipe out its indebtedness. ,Her property will be. divided among her nephews, nieces, and other relatives, who are numerous. A deputation of Montreal citizens waited upon Bit- Donald A. Smith and Sir Geo. Stephen Friday asking them to accept a bangnet tendered on behalf of the eitizent as a mark of their appreciation of their public beneficence and their many servioee done in the interests of Montreal. qztAT D tIVE IN DRESS GOODS AND PRINTS. •d• We Have Just Received Have and passed into stout a large range of all --wool double width Dress Goods which bought atagreat bargain,g cls we g We are offering these goods in all the newest shades at 37i cents per yard, which is only a fraction of the original price.

Majesty's Birthday took place in Exeter on Saturday last, The weather in the morning threatened rain, which no doubt impressed Many people to remain at hone; but the afternoon brightening somewhat the crowd was swelled, the attendance on the whole being fair. The principal feature of the day was a base ball tournament. Four teams were entered, but Brussels failing to appear, the following teams drew lots to decide which teams were to play first game :-- St. aIarys, Grand Trunk, of London, and Exeter. St, Marla drew the bye. The Exeter and London teatne then took the field, and played a good game. At the and of the seventh inning the score was a tie and an extra int:iug was played, Exeter scoring one and winning the game, the Londoners receiving a white- wash.. Following is the score R.

According to arrangement, Exeter and St. Marys were to have played for first rite , but desiring to leave on the five o'clock train requested St. Marys to play theist for second prize. This ,St. Marys would not do, as in case of London winning, St. Marys would only come in for third prize, not having had a chance to play for first prize. But had St. Marys, beaten London, London would have been. elected for third prize ; and the first place could have been settled by Exeter and St. Marys, The prizes were award- ed as follows t Exeter, ($45) first; Lea- den, ($25) second.
