The excellent brass band from Brussels arrived early on the scene and discoursed music of a most credit- able character. Shortly after ten places were drawn for in the base ball contest resulting in Exeter and, Belgrave being matched, and Brueeele vs. "Unione," of Wroxeter and Gerrie. Tho home team was strengthened by players from Wing - ham, Blyth and catcher Wardell, ofDun- dee. Duffield, of Wingham, was in the pitcher's box. Seven innings were play- od. Up to the 5th the game was a good one bat the Exeter club seoured 8 rune which gave thein the lead and really the match, with an innings to spare. The aoor0 was as follows : EXETER VO. 9ELGRAVE.

These two clubs took their places on 111e diamond as soon as dinner was over. They have met so many times in' the past that it ie a well established fact that Brussels is too heavy for them. A new catcher was on hand for the carpet town, in the person of Robt. Roes, youngest brother to the 1st and 2nd basemen of the club, He did his work well. Five innings were to decide the eupromaoy, and in the allotted time the 'Unions' got whitewashed four times, scoring only in the 2nd innings, when they got 8. Brut" - eels made 8 and had an innings to the good. Parelow, of Walkerton, played short stop for the 'Union,' and did it well. The 'core Bays: 00100855005, R. 0. U01ONe. n, O. J.

The men from the South could do very little with the etiek and their last man went out, in the last innings and 8 was the sum total. After three whitewashes Brussels scored 2 tune and they oounted on victory but the Exeter pitcher, who by the way was Sippi, of Loudon, (although Ito went by the name of McDonald) puzzled 1110111 and the 5th was a blank, leaving the score 2 to 8. The umpire gave a few very ragged de. 0151008 In this gauge. People who like good baseball caw it, however, and the Exeterites deserved first place. Had the nine innings been played the strong prob. abilities are that Brussels would have beaten. The score card showed the game as under : BNETE11. 0. a, l3nt/elELs. B. 0, R. Eacrott, 20111 b 2 1 J.

A dancing platform was arranged in the grove where the lovers of the "light fan- tastic" got all the exercise they needed. Music was furnished by a string band.
