day immensely on one of the Beatty Line
of steamers, which made excursion trips
on Lake Huron.

The glorious Twelfth opened very in-
auspiciously, rain falling from early
morning, bac in spite of this drawback
the ardor of tho patriotic members was
not dampened, and ou the arrival of the
first special train crowds poured forth
and train followed train until about 11 a.
in, each bringing in its quota of follow-
ers of the groat Bing William, all eager
to do honor to his glorious and immortal.
memory. The town band was delegated
to receive the visiting brethren, and by
eleven o'clock a most stirring and busy
scene was presented. Thousands upon
thousands lined the streets, whioh were
gaily decorated, all eager to gain a vent-
age ground to view the festivities. Paas -
age was almost impossible. The deride
now began to disperse, and in a very
short nom the sun shone as brightly as
ever on a happy and joyous crowd. The
accommodations for the immense crowd
were excellent.
The different districts were directed to
leave their respective headquarters at tan
o'clock sharp and proceed to the rink and
park gr0mnds, each district marshal with
those from his distriot in marching order,
and the procession was then formed by
the County Director of Ceremonies of

What proved to be the most dioestrous
fire that has ever occurred hero tools
place Friday Morning about 12:10 o'clock.
The 010 was first discovered in the rear
of J. A. MoLeod'e hardware store, and,
owing to their being a quantity of pow-
der and oil stored there, but littlestock
could be saved and that only at great
risk to those willing to do their best.
The fire spread with great rapidity, em
everything was very dry. The next place
to fall avictim was John Martin's wag.
on and blacksmith shops ; spreading
from there to a private house on the west
side, owned by Jahn Martin and 000upied
by Geo. Henderson, and on the east side
to Robt. Morgau's stable and shed. By
this time upwards of 100 hands with
pails endeavored to confine the flames to
these buildings, but to no avail, as great
tongues of flame and burning shingles
shot aoross the street and oompelled the
crowd to retreat and soon made their
way into the front of McDonald _& Hum-
berotote's dry goods store, spreading
from there to Bell's harness shop on the
west side and Whaddon's shoe shop on
the east. All hopes were now lost of
saving the blocks ou Queen street west,
and also Huron street south, as both were
joiued together. R. McLeod's tailor
shop on the east, and .0. 1lL McDonald's
grocery on the west, were the next to
fall. Miss \fcAuley's millinery store,
and H. P. Chapman's book store and
printing office wore devoured, and the
fire spread west to Mrs, McLeod's millin-
ery, 1j. A. Cotilter's furniture store, and
J. E. Mulholland's photogragh gallery.
Huron street was the next to fall a victim
the fire betaking out in the rear of Mrs.
Williams' millinery store, J. R. Mun-
shaw'8 jewellery, John Muroheson's book
and jewellery store, Mrs. Mo0allulu's
dressmaker's shop, B. P. Chapntan's shop
and J. A. Grundy's bakery at all the
same time. The excitement now was at
its patron and the streets black with peo-
ple armed to their full capacity endeay.
oring to save as much as possible out of
the buildings whioh were soon to fall be-
fore the devouring element. The fire
soon made its way into T. W. Davis'
hardware and bin shop, and thence to
Dr. 73. A. C. Smith's drug store. Tho
next and last business place to fall was
Jackson Bros.' bank. The last building
of importance was a private dwelling

back to China. They started from San

the heathen dead ; they went to Los An-

Pittsburg, Beevor Falls, Philadelphia
and Now York, and collected in all 216
remains. In each city they first located

were in. ordinary Caucasian oofiins the
difficulty of transporting thein seemed
large and the expense appalling. Some
proposed to ship all the boiled flash in

of the difficulty that would attend rho
division of the material among mourning

stove every Inas separately and to boil

imaginable so an to set in a jelly when

BASE BALs.—Tho return ball match be-
tween rho "Echoes" of Brussels, and the
"Unions," of Wroxeter and Gerrie, lyes
played on Victoria Square on Tuesday
afternoon and resulted more disastrously
to the visitors than last week's match.
Early in the game the clubs held well tos
gather and appearances indicated a oloso
oontest, but when the "Unions" were
blanked three tinges fu sucoessiou, and at
the end of the 6t11 innings the score stood
10 to 4 in favor of the home team the in-
terest in the game be.gau to lag some-
what. In the 7th innings, McLaughlin,
pitcher for the "Unions," who did good
work, gave place to Williams but our
boys pounded him for 6 runs and put
the result beyond question. The game
was a good one throughoutbnt it appears
quite evident to us that the "Bowes"
are too many for their opponents, A
feature of the game was three home runs
by J. Ross, A. Currie and F. Stratton re.
spectivoly. McLaughlin's curves ware
quite batters but the right haned ders did not sucour left -
ceed
ceed so well. However, every player for
the borne team scored a rim. Grewar's
pitching was rather puzzling to the slug.
ger from the north and 7 batters fanned
space. The outfield for the Gerrie team
was weak. McLaughlin struok out 6
batters. Sanderson had 8 passed balls
and Brook 1. In the 8th innings 6 balls
put out the 6 men, not one reaching set
base. A, II. Musgrove as umpire, gave
universal satisfaction and did the square
thing. The following is the score.—
