The opposing teams replo0euted more quarters of the globe than the planes mentioned but in this the pot could not call the kettle black and as bhey put up a well and evenly contested game the s tie- bators were well suited. Blyth was first to score but their success was thou die - counted by Walton winning a goal and thus the figures stood until the slotted hour was up, and other spore billed Dame on.

This gave the "Un- ions" a total of 10 when time was called for dinner. Jack and Will. Grewar did the twirling and A. Boyd, of Harriston team, caught after the 1st innings and did hes part capitally. D. 0. Rose was run into by H. MoHardy at 1st base and was laid off for several innings owing to. the collision using him up. All. Williams pitched for the Wroxeter team and our boys made close connection between the bat and ball a number of times but a few. lads were nabbed at the bases by a little too daring base running as the "Un- ions" won't allow inuoh "monkeying" with Paulin, Kaake and Ross oaring tor the three bags, Brussels only had five innings, scoring 3 runs and receiving two coats of calcimine. A. Oousley umpired the game and dealt out even-handed jus- tice. At one time Brussels' nine used to lather the boys' from the North nearly every trip but the want of practice in the former was very noticeable, 'although, they did a lot of rattling good ball playing when the strengbh of the "Unions". taken into "account.

H, McCracken had the refresh ment booth but the boys did not treat their best girls any too lavishly. The gate receipts, ne a 5 and 10 cent admission foe, totalled over $80.00. J. A. Creighton handled the chink. The day's receipts nearly covered all expenset, so that the "nest egg" in the Bank will not be disturbed very serionsly. In the foob ball match the bays were not tied to one or even two (colors or style in funiform, if anythingthey out- did the old rainbow in shades. The Celebration Committee offered the town Band 910.00 and free admissions to play a few tunes on Monday but bhey de- clined, hence the absence of music. J. T. Ross and W. Grewar jointly um- pired the afternoon baseball games. The "double header" worked all right and Grewar's jaw kepb the orowd in good humor, There is evidently : room for a kindlier feeling to grow between the inhabitants of Goderich and Wroxeter over their re- spective ball teams. The war of words over what " wa can do"wae the safaty valve, 'we suppose, to let off the holiday gas. The Godeiinh boys play good ball but they are over.matched when they come into contact with the "Unions." Among the visitors were noticed M.' Y. McLean, M. P. P. of South Huron ; Ed- itor Elliott, of the Wingham Times ; ex- MayorNeelands, of the same town ; i)r. Holmes, Dr. Hunter,Barrister Proudfoot and a number of others from .Goderich ; Dr, Shaw, of Clinton ; Barrister Hays, of Seaforth ; and a large con- tingent from 31lyth, Wroxeter, Gerrie, Oranbroolc, Walton and other places. Dain, the 1st baseman of Goderich, and Hartley, left fielder for Harriston, were laid out during the progress of the afternoon games for a time by being struck in the fade bytlhe ball. The form- er should be plainly told that running full telt into a baseman, with malicious intent, cannot in any way be consbrued into "white" ball playing. It's a dirty Wok. ILlreex:exhate Zerowio.
