RETURNS YET INCOMPLETE.
The battle is over and Victory nate
once more with the Liberals. Thursday,
June 5th Nitneesed as stubbornly fought
an election contest as the Province of
Ontario has seen for years. The Equal
Rights element made it a very difficult
matter to arrive at correct calculations
in many constituencies. However, the
result would indicate that the electorate
still desire Hon. Oliver Mowat to con.
tine as Premier of Ontario. In East
Huron a very energetic campaign was
carried on, earnest work being done for
both candidates and the variome meetings
held were almost altogether free from
the unpleasant jangles and personalities
often indulged in in election contest".
The vote wan a eurprime to both parties
in this way :—The Reformers did not
expect Howiok to de as well for Mr.
Musgrove and they felt • assured that
Grey and Turnberry townships would do
better. The Conservatives counted
more on Morris and less in Bruisels,
Turnberry and Grey.; McKillop was an
unknown quantity, although the Gibson
men reekonod on 125 or 150.

over Geo. Hese, of Listowel, in North
Perth and the redoutable Ballantyne

tary in Hamilton, and the Minister of

The opening championship games of
the National Baseball League of Great
Britain will be played this week. The
circuit hoe been reduced to four clubs
for the initial season, namely, Derby,
Stoke, Preston and Birmioghem, and the
outlook for a successful season is certain-
ly a bright one. The Derby team, under
the able management of W. C. Bryan,
the ex.Dee Moines manager, have been
practising together for the past eight
weeks, and consequently are favorites
in the coming race. In addition to their
advantage of having such an old hand in
the buboes to coach them, they have
been strengthened by the addition of a
battery from Cleveland, 0., Reidenback
and Buller.

If the Shoaihaven man cannot defeat the
Canadian, then our hold on the cham-
pionship ie almost gone. But we face
the touring struggle with good heart, and
know that the man who can ontrow Jim
Stansbury oan obtain frill credit for kis
win. Probably the best man in the
world will be named the winner of this
race, and will virtually be the champion.
