Wiaghern Laid Lucknow Low By The Score Of 10 To 6. Lucknow Sepny Hockey team (short three of their greater lights) and the Northern League Champions furnish- ed a gnod bill at the Wingham rink on Thursday night of last week. The Lucknow team. and a lraudfel of supporters drove over to Wingham to play the laet home game of the Northern League on local ice, and. owing to some trouble in their own select circle they were short McCoy, Habbick and Thomson, whose places were filled by two Juniors, Keith and McDonald, and Russ. Robinson ; to give the substitutes justice, they put up the whole game and Lucknow made no mistake in its choice. The game started orf fast and furious, and Mc- 'Quaig in Lucknow goal was called to ward off dozens of hard shots ; he was easily the best guardian of the nets seen in Wingham this season. He seemed almost unbeatable, but was overworked right on the start, and soon Hal. McLean found the net for Wingham and Marlette duplicated, the score being 2-0 in 8 minutes. Russ. Robinson, after several fruitless rushes, finally landed one for Luck - now. The game turned Wingliant's way, and the local defence had very little to do, but the Lucknow defence, McDonald and Keith, wore putting up a good game but could not get them all, and Elliott and McLean each rand - ed one for Wingham, while Marlette planted two, and it began to look bad for Lucknow, as McQuaig was show- ered with dozens of shots, but on a good combination rush Russ. Robin- son landed one that beat McGillivray and the half ended 0-2 in favor of Wingham. The second half started off faster than the initial period and it fell to Hal. 'McLean to open the scoring, which he did in 3e minutes, and John- ston added one for Lucknow in one minute ; checking became bard .and close, Referee Hern getting all, the off sides and chasing any players to the fence inclined to rough it, but Wing - ham was not to be denied, and playing one man short they landed two goals in quick succession. Marlette and Elliott scoring on pretty combination rushes, McLean watching the game from the boards. The locals had a big lead and had the game well in hand, but the Sepoys, especially John- ston, Robinson and Begley, were still' pegging away and Robinson and Horne landed goals for their team while Marlette made it No. 10 for Wingbam. The local defence refused. to rush matters, content with the lead, and from a long shot from nearby centre, Robinson closed the chapter by landing No: 6 for Lucknow, the score being 10-6 for Wingbam. Hern of Stratford refereed in his usual good style and checked all rough play and cif sides. The goal umpires, Pelt. McCoy of Lucknow and D. L. Dinsleyof Wingham, both complained of sore arms after the game on ac- count of the heavy score. ` The line- up was as•follows Lucknow—McQuaig, Keith, McDon- ald, Robinson. Horne, Begley, Johgr ston. Wingham—D. McGillivray, Rose, J. McGillivray, Johnston, Marlette, El. liott, McLean. NOTES :--The game ended early and the 5"Bends" were much enjoyed by the skitters.

Musgrove, M. L. A., Defends The Teachers Of Huron County. In the Ontario Legislature on Thurs- day of last week, Mr. A. II. Musgrove replied to the statements of the Oppo- sition that the teachers in Huron county were not up to the standard, and that some were teaching without the proper experience. Reading from the official report of the School Hoard and the Board of Inspectors, 'Mr, Mus- grove said the teachers were efficient in every way, and the scholars were being very Well educated. The teach- ers had certificates in nearly every case. One young girl was hired tem- porarily, and as she was too young she was not given a certificate. She was allowed to teach until another teacher was employed, Mr, Musgrove said the Government had solved the question of text -books, for the books were almost free. He did not favor, free school books him- self, Complaint was made that the name of the T. Eaton Co. appeared on the books. If the Government had not accepted the lowest tender the Opposition would have made a great complaint about it. The new books had the name•of the publishers on the cover, just the same as the old ones had. The Inspector for West Huron had criticized the Primer because it was not a phonic Primer, and he was a "phonic crank." The eight or nine thousand teachers of the province wore a great moral police, said Air. Musgrove, who were doing a great and noble work, Mr. Musgrove made a humorous speech, and was loudly applauded as he concluded. Grand Trunk Officials Visit Wingham In Regard To Subway.

In A Fast, Clean. Game, Wingham Defeats Listowel. Tuesday evening of this week saw the Wingham hockey team practically cinch their claim to play off with Mt. Forest for the winning of No. 1 Dis- trict, by their victory over Listowel by the score of 8 to 4. The "Silver Seven," accompanied by nearly one hundred enthusiastic sup- porters, and the Wingham Band, left by special train for Listowel at 045 Stops were made at Brussels, Ethel and Atwood, and so keen was the interest in the game that by the time the train arrived at Listowel, there were one hundred and fifty hockey fans aboard. Al 8 31) Referee Hern faced the puck. McLean secured it, and the rubber travelled swiftly to the Lis•• taweI end. The boys could not afford to lose the game, so playing swift, clean hockey, they scored throe goals in rapid succession. Listowel took e brace and by a pretty two -roan com- bination got the puck by McGillivray, but Wingham could not be denied and quickly made the score read 4-1. Both teams again scored, and half- time was called with the board show- ing 5.2 in favor of Wingham. The rest appeared to freshen the Listowel boys and when play was re- sumed they scored 2 in quick succes- sion. But the champions, playing in championship form, came back fast and by clean heady play scored again and again until by the time play was ended the board stood 8 4, THE LINE-UP. Wingham— D, McGillivray, goal ; Rose, point; J. McGillivray, centre point ; Johnston, rover; McLean, cen- tre ; en-tre; Marlette, right wing; Elliott, left wing. Listowel—Zinkan, goal ; Roos, point; Thompson, centre point; Thompson, rover; Hay, centre ; Roos, right wing; Burt, left wing. NOTES. The first half was exceptionally clean, fast hockey. The second half was more strenuous. Bey lost inuchof hie effectiveness by decorating the fence no less than four times. Every man on the Wingham team played his game. The Listowel boys had it in for Marlette especially. A win in Harriston on Friday night will make Wingham a tie with Mt. Forest, and then hurrah for home and home games, To the Editor of the Advance. DEAR SIR :—In reply to the letter inserted in this paper last week I sim- ply with to put before the people of Wingham a few senteuces that I have copied from the By-law, and the agree- ment that Mr. Pringle has with the town. Froth the By-law we read—"That in consideration of the said aid, it bus been agreed that the said William David Pringle shall erect in the said T• town of Z� to ham a suitable Tannery y built of brick, two storeys in height and of the dimensions of at least 56 ft. by -50 ft., together with a boiler and coal shed 30 ft. x 20 ft., and a drug and chemical building 22 ft. x 36 ft., one storey in height, also to be made of bt•ick, and shall install therein plant and machinery for said. business," From the agreement we read— "That he (Mr, Pringle) will not at any time during the said ten years engage in any business of a nature which will conflict with any firm or company at present doing business in the said town of Wingham." The'agreement also clearly mentions the erection of a tannery and in no place whatever can I see where glove manufacturing is mentioned. I will not discuss this matter further, as the by-law and also the agreement can be seen at any time at the Town Hall and those interested can, by reading same, decide for them- selves where the injustice comes in. It is quite evident that a number of our ratepayers have never 'read same, Me, Beckwith (w.i'7 wrote the letter) has stated to me that he had not done so, but had written the letter from in- formation given him by Me. Pringle. Also 1 wish to state that Mr, Pringle did not own or have any claim on any of the glove sewing machines' that I used awing time I occupied the rooms rented from bins, and further, to state that during the three year I have be hi Wingham been am I'have asked g no favors from the town. I are, Respectfully yours, • W. II, Gurney. The Beilharz Entertainers.

The Institute, which is for the purpose of informing as to newest and best ways of working, was conducted by Rev. F, L. Farewell, B'. A., See, of S.

Mr. Langford dealt with the question of what may be learned from the public schools re- specting organization, teaching, etc. Very animated discussions followed each address, At the evening session, Rev. Mr. Langford gave an address on the S. S. and Missions, while Rev. Mr. Farewell delivered a very comprehensive ad- dress on the S. 5., the most important institution in the community. Everyone attending the Institute was impressed with the very great value of such schools of practical methods, and all carried away fresh ideas, inspiration and enthusiasm for this great work. Canadian Club.' A movement, which is receiving the approbation of all thus far approach- ed, is on foot to form a Canadian Club in the town of Wingham. Most towns of this size have already a simi- lar organization, and have been suc- cessful in securing many of the ablest speakers in the country to address them: Miss Margaret MacDonald of London is visiting in town.

A Splendid Meeting Of This Organize. non field On Tuesday Evening. A very enthusiastic meeting of the Board of Trade was held in the Court- cil Chamber on Tuesday evening of this week. The President, 11. Clegg,, in his opening remarks referred to the revival of industrial activities throughout Canada and United States and that every town and city was on the alert for new industries, while we were sitting idly by. He firmly be, lieved• in the old adage that "Heaven helped those who helped them- selves." Everyone present seemed to have something to ober for the good and welfare of our town. Several com- mittees wore assigned special work on matters of vital import to Wing - ham and will report at the next meet- ing, which will be held next Tuesday evening, March 1st, when every citi- zen, whether or not a member, is cordially invited to attend, Many important matters were deferred until the next meeting, Meeting opens at 8 p, m. An Excellent Address. The Underwood correspondent of the Kincardine Reporter has the fol- lowing to say in reference to an ad- dress given by our- townsman, Mr. Geo. Spotton, at the annual tea -meet- ing of the Presbyterian Church of that village :—"Mr. Spottou's address on the "Life of Abraham Lincoln," was excellent and the entire aim seem- ed to be to point nut that nothing was impossible to the young man on the farm if he had the 'pluck and 'endur- ance to persevere. Mr. Spotton is an entertaining talker with a fund of anecdote -and bright material, full bf interest. Ho held his hearers closely throughout his excellent address."

A. of Huron county will indeed be sorry to hear of this, but the church people at large have not gone into the important work, hence the interest is not being kept up and it would only be a matter of time when Mr. Fleming would have to look else- where for a position. Me. Fleming has done good work and all will wish him success in his new field of labor, -- [Clinton New Era. Missionary Anniversary. Missionary anniversary services will T be held in `� mgham ° Methodist Church next Sunday. Rev. R. D. Hamilton of Listowel will preach morning. and evening.

League, $317.00 ; Junior Epworth League, $33.00; Sunday School, $100;00; Wo- men's, Missionary Auxiliary, $151.21. It is fully expected that the offerings for the year about to close will be in excess of those of a year ago. Boosting Kincardine. The Kincardine Reporter is certain- ly a booster, and if the poor old sleepy lakeside town doesn't wake up and let people know it is living, it isn't the Reporter's fault. Last week it con- tained the following spasm:-- "After March lst Listowel will have an all night electric light ser- vice. Wingham and a few other of those half lighted towns should get in the band wagon. Own your own electric light plant and snake life worth living with an all night service." So far as lighting is concerned Wing - ham. wouldn't want to be in the sante,. band wagon with Klemm -line -- we' don't want to be so far in the rear. Wingham, an, Ii9 incurdito, owes i 1 its own'electric light plant and, has an n atl•ntght service. Wingham, UN- LIKE Kincardine, has more lights and better lighted streets, nerd at a lower cost to the town. Wingham receives a larger income frosty the lights than Kincardine does.
