The prospect on the forenoon of Labor Day, owing to weather condi do s n d not] look very favorable for carrying ing oab the program arranged by the local Red Cross Society in 0Onne0 tion with their Field Day. At 1 p.111. the Committee decided to proceed and the afternoon turned out fine and Victoria Park was soon an anlrnated scene. Old Probe had a tear in his eye but the "weeping" was restrained until the day's doings were completed. First came the decorated automo- bile parade in which about a dozen ears took part, several of them very neatly and appropriately dresseed up for the occasion. They looked fine as they wended their way, lead by Au- burn Brass Band and Piper George Mann. The old "Clipper" Base Bali team lined up for a bout with a junior nine and demonstrated in 3 innings, by a score of 9 to 1 that they were quite at home on the diamond, with an eye on the record days of the past. If the 9 innings had been completed the juniors say there would have, been another story -to tell and they are probably not far out. Players were :— Clippers Juniors J. T. Ross 2nd b C Best if A. Currie a s Grimoldby c f D. O. Ross let b W. Lott c W. F. Stratton 3rd h H, Fox s s N. F. Gerry c f Jap Payne 3rd b J. F. Rowland r f A. Fox let b R. Downing 1 f R. Burton 2nd b W. A. Grewar p H. Wylde p R. Ross G Ross r f Harry James renewed hie youth as umpire. There was considerable amusement over the game, Robt. Ross, au old Brusselite, kindly loaned his assistance as catcher for the Clip- pers and his nephew gave a hand to the juniors. One of the chief events of the day was the Ladies Base Ball match. Bluevale and Jamestown had gener- ously accepted an invitation to take part and they did their share famous- ly. With two batteries well support. ed on the bases and field there wasn't a drill moment from start to finish. Jamestown piled up a score of 9 in the 3rd innings but outside of that the teams were very evenly matched as will be shown by the figures, James- town 13, Bluevale 2. W. A. Grewar was umpire.

There were booths at which re- freshments were sold„ flower stand, fish pond, palmistry tent, &c., and all appeared to find favor with the eight- seers who 'freely patronized them as the financial returns will show. At 7.80 a very fine display of fire- works was given at the park that attracted a large and well pleased crowd. Every item arranged for on the program was carried out without a hitch of .any kind and everybody seemed ready to help. A fitting conclusion to the day was the overflowing house at the Concert. Where an excellent, program was pea - seri tecl and the interest well sustained until the close. The vocal talent pee - formed excellently and thevocalist brought in, H, Davidson, Mt.

A quilt, sold by Auctioneer Scott, was purchased by J. F. Rowland, although agood broad hint was given to eligible bachelors with matrimonial plans in view as to the necessity of such equipment.

A short program was rendered during the afternoon consisting of instrumentals by W. and Mrs. Procter ; solo by Miss Nora Vancamp ; piano solos by Misses Greta Armstrong and Maggie Procter ; duets by Mrs. W. andiMiss Lulu Proc- ter.
