However, no rowdyism appeared on the streets to materially disturb the peace of ocr quiet village and altogether the day passed off very pleasantly, being litbiogly wound up by a public entertainment is McAllister's Hall by Ethel Division Sons of Temperance.

QUEEN'S BmTnoar.—The morning dawned under a cloud which broke but ocoasionally through the day, though bnt little rain actually fell. The dia. comfort of participating in outdoor sports was intensified towards evening by the high cold wind which arose, nevertheless the people of this sootion had a big day, and the streets were crowded till late. The baseball tourna. merit opened with a game between James- town club and tbo home team. James- town to the bat, dismissed for. 1 run to R. Share. Ethel out with 3 in their favor. Jamestown immediately began to play up in snob a manner that at the end of the 515 innings the score stood Jamestown 23, Ethel 8. Next innings Jamestown retired with a goose egg and Ethel tallied 15 rues making the snore even 28 to 28. Tillage began to look ex- citing and sound so toot Seventh innings Jamestown out with one run added. They unfortunately disputed the decision of the umpire and refused to take the field. The game was therefore given to the home team. The second game was played between Ethel and Monoriefl in the afternoon. A good game although not so noisy as the morning game. Score 16 to 25 in favor of Ethel. Wm. Spence and Win. Milne officiated as umpire in morning and afternoon respectively. A respectable contingent from the court of calrthumpia, headed by a marshall on horoebaok made their appearance in the afternoon. They appeared to have been detained on the road, perhaps by the antics of their cattle which seemed of the asinine epeoios and could only be per- ended to go by fits and starts, By the way, the old lady must have worn a good, substantial bustle or she could not have struck the road so comfortably when her donkey would got out from under her.
