The Wingham Citizens Band played several selections before and during the game, Wingham scored the first goal, but before quarter Lime, was called, Or- angeville had landed two in the Wing• ham net. The next quarter Wingham made two to Orangeville's none. The third quarter saw both teams working hard, the home team scoring twice to the 'visitor's once. The last period was indeed a strenous one both teams working fast and hard but Orange- ville got three and Wingham only one goal, making the score 6 6. Referee Hocking gave excellent satis- faction and stated after the game that it was one of the best he had ever witnessed. The game was fast and clean, the visitors proved themselves real gentlemen both on the field and off, Wingham had the ball most of the time, but the heavy defence anal the excellent goal tending of the visi- tors kept the score where it was. Ted Elliott fought a hard battle, while some of the other boys were off color, but one and all claim that the return game will be won by Wingham. Booth, Orangeville's goal tender, said he was stopping shots that he never saw at all. The following is the line-up. Wingham Orangeville Knechtel goal D. Booth Anderson point J. Cushing C.

TOWN COUNCIL MEETING L 0. O. F. Purchase Sidewalk Deben. tures at Par. Owing to Monday being Labor Day the Council held its regular meeting on Friday evening, the 3rd, inst. Mayor Irwin in the chair, Councillors Currie and Bell were absent, Minutes.of last meeting and adjourned meeting were read and confirmed, A report from the firemen, accom- panied by an appeal for any assistance the Council would see fit to give, brought about considerable discussion. The report is as follows:—Cash in bank $151.50; expenditure, tickets for 38 men $100.50; expenses at Thorold $94 25; shortage $43,25. The day of the tournament at Thorold was very wet and the competitions were called off and the firemen therefore came home without any prizes, and were in the hole financially. neve Mitchell thought the Council ehould help them some. Councillor VanNorman said "when they engaged the 'band he thought it was an uncalled for ex- penditure and now theywere re as kinga good deal." Mitchell, "Other towns have paid the whole shooting -match for their firemen." Councillor Van - Norman, "I can't understand why some members of the board take the side of the individual every time some question of interest comes up instead of standing by the town which they represent," The Mayor thought that if the council kept on handing out money in this manner it was no use in their making estimates in July as had been done. Councillor Binkley, "The boys did pretty well, they gave up their last quarters' salary to defray expenses." Mayor Irwin, "If we listen to every little appeal where are we going to land at." Mitchell, "The fire company is a very important in- stitution in any town and should be encouraged a little." Councillor Van - Norman, "It wasn't really the fire company that went it was lacrosse boys largely". Binkley, "True some lacrosse boys went to help the fire team win in the races and therefore if our brigade had a chance to compete in the prizes there is no doubt in my mind that they would not have had to ask the town for assistance," Coun- cillor VanNorman, "Men who cannot run should not be in the fire company. I take my stand for the town and can not see where we have any right to pay the people's money out in a cavo like thie. So long as the town places confidence enough in me to elect me to its council I'm here for that town." Mayor, "So long as we hand out money whenever we're asked to we'll come out short." Councillor Crawford said he still took the name stand as at the last meeting when he claimed he would not mind giving out of his own pocket but would not vote for the council togive any in this case, Moved by Councillor Binkley and Reeve Mitchell that the matter of the deficit of the Fire Company be left to the Fire committee of the council to report at next meeting. A communication was read from Frank Weaver, London, asking that he get the hall for a concert at the same rent as local parties, explaining that the concert which he was putting on would include local talent. No action taken. A letter from N. L. Martin & Co., Toronto, asking for a reduction of the taxes of Orval Taylor, owing to the fat that he was only in business eight months this year, was read. Council decided to leave assessment as it stood. A communication from E. D, Bolten of Listowel, a former town engineer, asking for payment of $7, which amount bad been owing him for a number of years. As Mr. Bolten had done the worse, the council decided he should get the money, and on motion of VanNorman and Patterson the town paid him $7 for services in 'con- nection with work on Graham drain. Mr. John Stephenson waited on the council asking permission to tap a main running along the back of his premises, A petition was presented some time ago asking that an 8 inch sewer be laid from Victoria St, and Rd, to the north ofint Diagonal side $ on the east side of Diagonal Road, blit was not properly signed. The matter wae plaeed in the hands of the Street committee on motion of Binkley and Crawford. The report of the Finance committee was read and on motion of Patterson and Binkley was passed as read.' Councillor Crawford asked the coun- cil what price they would put on the crushed stone which they have on hand from the street work. lie said he had a request for three loads but did not know what to charge for it. It was thought that $2 per yard would be a very reasonable price. On motion of Binkley and Patterson the matter was left with the Street committee with power to act. A few accounts were not properly certified to. Moved by Patterson and VanNorman that these accounts V be ordered paid when properly certified to, The account of Patterson Mfg.

RECRUITING RALLY Owing, no doubt, to the shortness of the notice, and, also to the fact that it was a holiday, the recruiting meet- ing held in the Town Hall, on Monday evening last, was not as well attended as it would have been, had the circum- stances teen more favorable, As it was there was a very fair audience,and a very interesting meeting was held. The chair was occupied by Mayor Ir- win, who after stating the object of the meeting called upon Captain Sin- clair to explain what was desired. In a few words Captain Sinclair pointed out that 250 men were wanted from Huron and Bruce, that Wing - ham had be: n made a recruiting cen- tro where recruits would be examined and finally paesod, Captain Dunlop, Goderiob, who is to have charge of the new battalion, also made fine re• marks upon the necessity of securing additional men. Stirring addressee were delivered by A. H. Musgrove, M. L. A,, Rev. E. 0, Dymond and Mr. Ger. Spotton. An interesting feature of the meeting was a few words from Private Geo. Itobereon who has been invalided home, and who bas been un- derre in the trenches. renehe s.
