MUTED I 1 Breen. -Shortly after 4 o'clock
in the morning a grand salute was fired
froin J. 0. Heffernan's blacksmith shop,
and immediately after the braes band
struck up "God save the Queen." The
band played for about half-an.hour and
twelve salutes were fired, which awoke all
our villagers from their peaoeful slumbers.
Soon everybody was astir, and flags were
Been floating in the morning breeze. Our
merchante had their shops nicely decor-
ated with evergreens, and altogether the
village presented quite a Holiday aspect.
A drizzling rain began early in the morn.
ing, and for some time it was thought we
would have a wet day, so the committee
thought it advisable to postpone the
games until the afternoon, and to give a
chance to any oornpetitore who might ar-
rive on the noon train. The crowd was
rather small in the forenoon, but about
noon it oloared up, and people thronged
in from all direations, until the grove woe
literally swarming with people. The At.
wood band arrivedon the 9 O'olook train
and were met at the'station by the Ethel
band, when all marched to the village
playing some eplondid marches. After
giving some choice pieces in the village
they all marched to the grounds. The
two bands play well together, and during
the day they enlivened the proceedings by
furnishing a good variety of rnusio. The
committee on the games and the pie -ole
managed everything in a very satiefao-
tory way and all passed of pleasantly,
with the exception of two accidents. A
miss throw Was made by one of the
athletes anis the stone struck J. M. Davies
on the forehead, knoolting him down, but
not injuring him seriously. One of tho
runners, Edwin McNaughton, hurt him.
self while running. A noticeable and
praiseworthy feature of the da}' was the
good condnot and order o wintan od by all.
There was no rowdyism (which is so often
prevalent) and we failed to notice nnyeno
under the influence of liquor. The inter.
est of the games was increased by quite a
number of the Brussels boys taking part.
Our own boys acquitted themselves well,
eepeeielly Geo. Robertson and Wm.
Lynes. 3. MaBain, It. Thompson, S..
Jackson and Perce Jackson, of Brussels, i
did well. The log race and walking
the spring pole over the river caused a
good deal of fun, the boys getting a good
many dips in the river. Everybody was
taken up with the walking of J. Watts in
the walking match. He won first prize
very easily. The horse raoe in the even-
