SUCCESSFUL CELEBRATION IN BRUSSELS. The Day's Program Carried Out in its Completeness. The downpour of rain on Wedneedity of lest week, the doleful news of the serious illness of the ging and the nailing off of the Proolamation malting Thursday a public holiday were net oaleolated to en• those the Committees very much in look. iog forward to Thureday's program of eporte lent Orkin on the prinoiple that "ll's not lost that's iodaner" all arrangements were completed ae far es possible and Thursday morning Old Probe. was good enough to sneer up a bit and, with an 000asional baptism in the afternoon, treated us very fairly although. a trifle cooler than some would desire, For several years Brussels has gone in for very expensive attraotiooe but thle time there was considerable modification and lees reek run. Three banners were etretohed aorosa Tarnberry street bearing the worde "Weloome," "God Save the Ring" and "Rale Britannia" while from the town flagstaff and those of numeroae citizens floated the greed old Red, White and Blue. The 33rd Regiment Band, of Seaforth, ander the direction of Bandmaoter Brown was early on the scene and rendered excellent service throughout the day. They play good moeio and are a credit to Seeforth and the noble 33rd. First upon the program cam a looal Football match between Grey and Morrie townehips, all league players being ruled out. The game was a lively one and pleased the onlookers. There possibly woe lege oombinatioa play than one would see in a regulation game hut for red hot collisions, lively rashes audoloee foot rapes it would be diffioult to excel it. Grey took the first goal, then after a lively obaee.up Morrie planted their goal and it looked as if me even division of the p0ree would be neaeseary but the Easterners wouldn't have it that way and shortly before the referee's whistle oolled time the sphere was on0e more carried between Morrie flags and so the game ended, 2 to 1 in favor of Grey. There are a number of good, husky kiok• ere e0 eaob team but as they were gather• ed from different pens of their reepeetive monioipalit1ee want of playing together was evident.

The first item, well presented, after dinner was a tingling game of Lacrosse in which Seaforth and Rinoardine were oppooente; although well contested the Southerners had the better end of the play throughout and woo by 7 to 1. Rio• retrains scored once the let quarter while Seaforth made unanoaeeeful attempts on the enemie's citadel guarded by the well known 0. Jennings, but in the god ginner Seaforth did not let up until 4 talliee were to their record. The testae got one eaoh in the Brd and Seaforth 2 in the last quarter. Some old stink wielders were doing duty on the latter team such as Brown Jackson, Bell and McDougall and did no email part in the walk -away their team bad.
