Our Goderioh friends, through the "Sig.
nal," chose to speelo very lightly of our
beautiful park (a place of which we aro so
justily proud) as being unfit for cricket
playing and also of our,laek of hospitality,
attributing their defeat !torn in a ,,meat
measure to hunger. This may be true, in
partbeen
hungry before they left home, and some of them ut aaobetter
opportunity for retaliation is seldom at -
forded than our Goderioh experience gives
us, though we will not take full advantage
of it, In regard to refreshments they had
lunch on our grounds and free supper at
night. This is in accordance with the re-
cognized rules of visiting hospitality. We
gut the lunch and paid for our suppers.
So much for treatment. Their grounds, of
which we.oxpeeted so maob, no Celtic clan
was over more secure amid their own native
cliffs and glens than were our Goderioh
friends anlonget,iho "Tootoly heights" of
their boasted grounds. Truly if the ball
passed a prescribed limit it was hop, step
and jump from the top of one hillock to
another, the intervening rats being so deep
that some of them were used as reeepteolos
for worn out whiskey stills and other rub-
bish, as being the moat unfrequented place
around town. On such grounds as these it
is easy to sea our "Baan Ball sluggers" had
but a poor show. Tho game, however,
passed off amicably enough, no disputes at
all, except; perhaps, a word or two through/
Mr. Drmmmond's inclination to hide hie
wickets with his legs.'' i•Ieesre. Drummond
and Stark are truly the backbone of the
Goderioh team. The reputation of the
"Baso Ball sluggers" would have suffered
a great deal more were it not for tho well
watched 030130ts of Seaman Laird, The
umpiring by lawyers Elliot, of Blyth, and
Dickenson, of Wingham, was very sstisfac-
tory and the scoring was attended to by F.
S. Scott, of Brussels, and Hilton Holmes,
of Godorich. A goodly nntnbor of visitors

Judy," of Wrcxelcr, Taylor's "Mag-
gie," of Clinton, and Brumpton's
"Little Billy" entered. "Little Judy"
took 2 heats, "Billy" got 2 and "Mag-
gie" 1. The judges ruled that "Billy"
was entitled to let =toy and would
not allow another heat to bo trotted.
The like of such decisions was never
heard of before' and -it shove very
plainly that the judges ..either knew
nothing about the rules df the turf or
else played "dirty to keep the money
at home. At Wroxeter King's

vice, in St, Joba`e church, and from
Matthew 25th chapter and 17th verse
at 7 p. m. Mr. Gruff is an excellent
reacher and for a young man ie a good
preaollor.--P,ev. W. Smyth, pastor of

John, 17th chapter and 20th and
21st v0rees, ea the foundation of his

verses, and Matthew, 8th chapter,

is a close reasoner and sticks to his
text wait. -Knox church congrega-
tion, over which. Rev. S. Jones pre.
sides, is leaving a holiday, but their
pastor fires red-hot shot and atoll
strikes close, too. -Rev. P. J. Shea,
of Seaforth, officiates in the Roman
Catholic church on the third Sunday
in eaoll month. He is held in high
esteem by his parishioners, -.At the
Salvation Army they are all preach -
era, but Capt. Rowehas been in nom-
' Mand for some time, 'She is a sens-
ible little body and if those who at-
tendthe barracks pay attention to

astray. Brussels has as good a re-
presentation of clerical gentlemen as
can be found in anyplace of its size
aud the only fault lac 1111d is that so
much of their preachi}yg is . ,that
by the various congregations without
much outward- manifestation of it
effecting a great deal of good.
