was ideal.
Immediately after dinner Lucknow
and Brussels piniorsfacod one another
on the base balicliamond where a close
and well contested game of base, ball
was played. The teams were very
evenly matched and gave evidence of
the right kind of timber to supply the
future diamond experts. le:russels
scored in the 3rd, 4th and gth innings
and the representatives of the Sepoy
town crossed.theplateiri the lstand8rd.

Henfryn
(Intended for last week)
8, S. Oole is still loading brick.
Farmers are still hauling out tile.
Communion seevices in St. David's
church on Sabbath.
Miss Milligan is visiting her sister,
Mrs. C. Bawtinheirner,
A. and Mrs. Hamilton arrived home
on Monday of this week.
One would think after reading the
Henfryn news of July 28rd in your
paper that the boys of Henfryn were
a lob of rascals, but such is not the
case. I think, if the tenth were
known, they are "far off neighbors"
who visit the clotheslines of Henfryn.
4.5 to Our parents providing games
and amusement for their boys at
night to keep them from roaming,
we think it woolcl take a good deal
more than amusement to keep some
of the mothers of Henfrynt from mind-
ing other people's business and cir-
culating malicious gossip not only
about our boys but also about older
members of the community, who,
though through experience have
learned not to allow their peace of
mind to be disturbed by it. We think
no community can boast of better be-
havior or more earnest attention dur-
ing our church services or at our soe-
1I than this same little
Henfryn and we believe if those
people who are always watching‘
others would only stop, stand still
and look around and within them-
selves they would find more than they
could do the reniaindor of their lives
to bring themselves up even to the
standard of true manliness that we
find in our boys, Now we would
warn those who have Inc some months
past being accusing our boys of theft,
drunkenness and other such offences,
that the time has surely come when
"patience ceases to be a virtue" and
we will no longer stand by and see
our boys crushed beneath the slander-
ers Winne. A Faustus or Tun Bolts..

Another game was started at 5
p. in. but the rain put a stop to its
completion.
One of the best games of League
Base Ball was played between Rincar-
dine and Blyth. It was anybody's
game until the completion of the 0th
innings when the home team was de -
dared the winners by 8 to 2. Baxter
McArter was in great fettle as pitcher
for Blyth and was ably supported by
Catcher Somers. The base men and
fielders also played a sharp, snappy
game. Allandorf and McGregor was
the battery for Xincardine. Here is

Robert Ross of Kincardine, an old
knight of the 'diamond, was the em-
pire and did his work in good form.
Hearty applause greeted good play
on either side and the match Was most
creditable to both teams.
During the day good music and
tilenty of it was rendered by the
Pipers' Band of Lucknow, who looked
very tidy in their Highland costume.
Ab 8.80 p. in, the whistles of the
locomotives announced the homeward
journey and good time was made.
A. downpour of rain set in, to
which was added lightning and
