Listowel Two RINKS BURNED. -As Old Ben was striking the hour oft o'clock Saturday morning the fire bell and whistle was awakening the citizens from their peaceful slumbers, and as one looked out of the window they would be led to believe by the reflec- tion that half the town was burning, but upon investigation they found that the skating rink and curling rink were doomed to the flames. The fire brigade was quickly on the spot, but owing to the buildings being of frame and as dry as tinder all their efforts were in vain. The two rinks were only a few feet apart, and it was not long before both were a smoulder- ing mass. There is no doubt as to the origin of the fire as this is the fourth or fifth time that they have been set. Whoever the guilty party or parties are, they sure made a job of it this time, as evidently it was soaked with oil from one end to the other. The skating rink was owned by J. A. Hacking, who had a small insurance on it, bub not nearly enough to re- build. The curling rink was owned by the Listowel Curling Club and had only been erected•a few years and was also covered by a small insurance. Whether the skating rink will be built again this year is not known as yet, but if it is not there will be no skating or hockey in town this coming Win- ter. In conversation with some of the curlers it was learned that they were considering the matter of build- ing and in all probability they will start as soon as possible. Cranbrook Mrs. Jno. Ritchie and sons, Galt, are visiting friends in Ibis vicinity. Miss A. J. Forrest has returned after an extended visit in Chicago and De- troit, W. J. Alderson and Miss M.
