NO1110 01 TILE DAY.
Owing to some hitch or misunder.
standing, Reeve Thompson, of Huron,
did not have a Mane to try conclusions
with Reeve Bland's Kincardine township
stalwarts. At the requesb of the oom•
mitten, Bro. Meek selected a team from
diose present on the ground, and on
authority of Wm. Beane, the team
captained by the latter although defeated
two draws to one, gave Mr. Bland's
heroes cue of the strongest pulls they
may ever expect to have in a lifetime.
Barrister Morrison, of Lucknow, made a
satisfactory referee. At the conclusion
of the match Mr. Dark's meu gave three
cheers for the victors, and on Mr. Bland
proposing three cheers for the vanquish-
ed, they were given with a hearty good
will. The names follow :—Reeve Bland's
team—Wm. BMW, Abe Bevans, R. John-
ston, Dan. Cameron, Kenneth McKenzie,
B. Moulton, Jos. Young, Dan. Kehoe,
Arch. Robinson, Wm. McKenzie. Mr,
Daok's team—John Hayes, John Walker,
Angus MoDonald, Mike Stroud, Wm,
Stewart, Jns, McCullough, W. J. Mc-
Cullough, John Malieuzie, A. J. Oainer.
on, Mal. McDougall. In the latter team
there was one from Huron, one from
Ashfield and one from Greenook ; all the
others were from Kincardine township.
The lacrosse match was a splendid
exhibition considering everything. The

mush room for play.

What The t$rogshops Cost.
A0 a crowded meeting in Exeter hail,
London, I heard one of the great 5m•
p:oyers of labor say that he was a partner
in ir0u works employing 6,000 men ;
that the works tver0 never run on Mon-
day bootee* the men Were nob reooverod
from thole debauch of Saturday night
and Sunday ; that many of the men did
not return to work until Tuesday, Wed.
nosday and some of thein until Thurs-
day ; that by this stopping of the works
the company loses $176,000 a year.
But this was not all of it. I do not
know what the average wages were, lint
with skilled and unsltillea labor it meat
bo at least 91 a day. This would males
the annual loss of wages to the mon
more than 0270,000, because many of
them lost more than one day in the
week. The country lost the value of the
270,000 days' worst of the men. The loss
in that one establishment was more than
9445,000 a year through the grogehope,
not reckoning the loss to the country.
This is not an exceptional ease, but may
be taken as a fair sample of what is going
on through many of the industrial ee-
tablishments in the country.
A CILEBi'L' SOLILOquY.
I was handed a little slip of paper by
one of the leading stationers on which
was printed "Credit Man's Soliloquy,"
which I thought was one of the best
things in its way that I have seen. It
reads as follows :—
"To sell or not to sell that is the ques-
tion,
Whether ie is better to send the goods
And take the risk of doubtful payment,
Or to make sure of what is in possession
And, by declining, hold them.
To sell ; to ship ; perebanoe to lose—
Aye, there's the rub,
For when the goods are gone,
What charms eau win them back
From slippery debtors ?
Will the bills be paid when due ? •
Or will the time stretch out till the
creole of doom ?
Whet of assignment? What of rela-
tives ?
What of uncles, aunts and mother -fn -
law,
With claims for borrowed money 2
What of exemptions, bills of sole and
compromise,
That cooly offers a shilling a pound ?
And of lawyer's fees
That even eat up this poor pittance.
Yes, sell we must
And some we'll trust,
We seek the just,
For wealth we lust ;
By 909110 we're cussed ;
And stooks will rust ;
But we skin the west,
Or we'd surely bust."
