on the Park in that town before a large
number of opeotatore. The guru Band
conceived the idea, we believe, and the
arrangements were made under their
auspices. It was 9 o'clock before the
game started and after 10 a good while
before it ended. No goals were scored
by either side altboogh a few hot abate
were stopped by both goal keepers. The
chief difficulty was that the ground was
not well enough lighted and as it con.
sequence the Referee often had to gall
halts to straighten out the play, other.
wise the game went off pleasantly
enough barring interference once by
onteidere. If some of these always -

would have a good effect on the youth of

This is what Mrs. J. W. Hutohine, 82
Portland et., Toronto, has to say, -"I
cannot say too much for Dr. Pitober's
Bachaohe Kidney Tablets. Before using
them I had a gnawing pain in the bank
all the time, and an conte lameness
moss the loins. I had not so much
noising in my head ae between my
shoulders and in the back of my neck.
Since using the Tablets my back is as it
need to be, and the ,rheumatism in the
shoulders bas disappeared. Formerly.
When I did a waahing I was utterly tired
out, not having a bit of meetly left ; this
morning I did my washing in two hours
and I did not mind it. I have no had -
tenon in recommending Dr. Pitcher's
