serape together in their 2nd innings
and 6 of these wore extras. Brussels

'1'nursaAY of Leat week was the civic

OUR band boys did not get a prize
et the Waterloo tournament. The
objection was not that their music
was not good enough but there was
not the volume. 18 players against
20 or thirty is big odds. They were
highly complimented for their oleo.
tions, however.
LAST Saturday evening, while the
band was playing on the street, Ed.
Grewar, a little son of ,Ino. Greware'
was run over by a horse and had his
head badly cut, It was reported that
it was Rev. Mr. Cluff's horse but we
understand that he was driving south
while the horse that did the damage
was being driven northward.
Yov'1tr; R1caT.-The Listowel Ban-

streets. For a young band, their
playing was remarkably good, and
they will, with a little • practice, be
hard to boat.
Row. -Last Sunday morning while
the Army was having their usual ex-
perienoe meeting on the street an al-
tercation was entered into by Neil
Molloy and Wm. Roddick over the
raspoctivo merits of the Ariny. The
wordy warfare was soon changed to
more forcible arguments and Roddick
struck Rlulloy in the face. The com-
batants were then separated. This
]rind of exhibitions on the street, es-
pecially on the Sabbath day, is any-
thing but soemely. In the afternoon
of the same day some young follow
tried to make himself conspicuous by
attempting to drive over the Army.
EVERY established local newspaper
receives subscriptions from large cit-
ies which puzzle the publisher, but
which was explained by the New
York Times lately as follows: -"A
wholesale merchant in this city, who
had become richt at his business, says
his rule was that when he sold a bill
of goods on credit, ho immediately
subscribed for the local paper of his
debtor. So long as ho advertised
liberally and vigorously, he rested,
but as soon as ho began to contract
his advertising space, he took the
fact as evidence that there was trouble
ahead and invariably went for the
dootor, Ho says the man who was
too poor to make his business known
was to poor to do busines, The with-
drawal of an advertisement is en evi-
dence of weakness omen ars not slow
to aot upon."
Tun Flint, Michigan, Nowa, of the

and crushed. The injured man was
taken to his home oil Carrier street
whore his wounds wenn attended by
the railroad surgeon. Sanders is 55
years old and this accident was a
severo shook to frim, but it is hoped
that bo will recover,
