To The Clinton News -Record :
Dear Sir,—Re General inspection of
161.st Battalion, Camp Borden, Out.,
Sept. 18111, 1010.
As so many of the readers of your
paper are interested in Huron's Bat-
talion, I feel that the fact of their
having come through the general in-
spection so creditably should he giv-
en general publicity. This inspec-
tion is very thorough and exacting,
every officer, non-contmissioiied o9lirec
and ratan is examined, and the in-
spection is conducted by Lt. -Col.
Campbell, Assistant G.S.O. At the
conclusion b -f the inspection today, he
made these observations :
'I am well pleased with what I.
have seen today. You have a line,
soldierllyr body of men. With only -
three exceptions they were in splen-
did condition Yourofficers are a
y
splendid body of omen and know their
S
work well. Your nem -commissioned
officers are exceptionally bright and
efficient and you are to be congrat-
ulated on having such a creditable
battalion.' - -
Yours truly,

TUESDAY'S CONCERT.
•The Forest City Male , Quartette
gave a concert in the town hall on
Tuesday'eveninglast under the aus-
pices of the ladies of the Ontario
street church,
The evening was unfavorable, being
rainy during the early part, and this
no doubt kept many, especially. in
the country, from attending. There
was a fairly good ,house, however.
The quartette furnished the entire
program and for an hour and a halt
succeeded in keeping the audience en-
tertained. The program Was per-
haps a little, too light, as aside from
a few patriotic numbers, it was en-
tirely of a fun -provoking nature,
And it is surprising how little it
takes to make an average audience
laugh. Perhaps after all -it is but
natural that public entertainers
should respond to'aburst, of an,
planed` following some nonsensical 'bit
of singing and lie ready to cater to
the element which thoroughly enjoys
that sort of thing. There is, howev-
er, in an average Audience almost al-
ways a large number of people who
go to a concert to hear some goo:'!
singing. Who do not object at all to
a bit of nonsense amid who can laegh
as heartily as any. at such, but who
come away rather disappointed iF
there is nothing but nonsense on the
program. This element, too, is quiet-
er and cannot show its appreciation
in Iso unmistakable e manner and tile'
average strange entertainer makes
the mistake of thinking that the
house will appreciate noticing that
is not "funny." The concert on
Tuesday evening was a pleasing one
was well ande 1 received hut it
wouldu
1d
have been better if the program bad
been a little more varied„ The bass
solo given near the -close was espec-
ially well rendered and was much en-
joyed. And- the "Good Night Song"
given by the four, voices wap also
much appreciated. The ladies of the
church were very well pleased with
the result of their venture.•

Dear Sir,—Enclosed please find re-
newal of imp subscription to your
paper. I thank you for its prompt
and regular arrival as I look forward
to it each week. With much surprise

WIRES .ARE GOING UNDER.
A gang of men have been at work
during the past week digging up
Clinton's perfectly good macadamized
streets in Order that the Bell Tele-
phone wires may be put underground,
No one will dispute that it -is an ad-
vantage to have the wires under-
ground instead of ov rhead— hat'
s
where they should have been put in
the first place—but it is with some
misgivings that Clinton citizens
have - watched- those streets being
ruthlessly -torn -up by alien hands.
The Company is under obligation to
the council to leave the streets in
as good shape as they find tileni but
it would be :well to have some town
official with plenty of leisure on his
hands detailed to see that this •ob-
ligation is met. As only wooden
tiling is being put 'down 'to carry the
cable it looks to he but a tempor-
ary job at best. Can the Bell Tele-
phone Company come along and dig
up our streets, which cost thousands-
of dollars to build, just any old
time it chooses 1
BLACK KNIGHT MEMORIAL,
A memorial service• for the lute
Pte. James Hutchinson was heicd by
Jubilee Preceptory Royal Black
Knights of Ireland in their hall
ou Friday evening last, The
Rev. J. A. 'Robinson conducted
the service and gave an appropriate,
address, reminding the brethren of
the devoted and loyal life which had
sofittingly beencrowned With
a
hero's death for King and Country,
"Jimmie" Hutchinson, as he was af-
fectionally called bye his comrades,
was one of the first to enlist from
these parts and after ashort stayin
Bermuda the Royal Canadian Regi-
ment, of which lie was a member,
proceeded to the front where they
have. heroically fought for their coun-
try amid the many attacks and
counter attacks which characterize
trench warfare. Many testimonies of
the good character borne by the now
fallen hero have been received from
his companions and friends, everyone
declaring that he was a true Briton
and lived a manly:, clean 'and exem-
plary life and his memory will ever
be cherished by the brethren.
PRAISE FOIL THE "HURON,S,"
The following letter has been re-
ceived by Lieut. -Col, Cmnbe at
Camp Bor:iieie and speaks for itself.
It might not be antics to add that
dining then months that Clinton was
the headquarters of the 161st Batta-
lion and a large number of the men
were stationed here that the citizens
were most favorably impressed with
them, It wound be hard indeed to
find a more gentlemanly or better -be-
haved bonen of men than those who
s.peat the winter in Clinton. Huron
has reason to be proud of her " 0'wn
Battalion" and she still looks to it
to bring her nothing but honour :
"Camp Borden, Ont.,
Sept. 13t4i, i,eht
Lt Col, Combe,
0.0. 101st Battalion,
Camp Borden, Ont.
Dear Sir,—I feel canstrai'ed to say
a ward of praise regarding the cop -
duet ofyour battalion While they
have been nn our trains foe week -end
leave or otherwise. I think I can
safely say without danger of being
suspected of undue flattery that the
101st 'Battalion has conducted itself
at all times in such a manner that
it could not be considered otherwise
than highly creditable, They have
respect for their officers, for tueis
battalion, and for themselves, and
this has taught others to respect
them,. I ant sure that such conduct
will bring its own reward. The way
in which they got on and off trains
puts them in a class by themselves'.
Yours truly,

DIED ON FIELD OF l-IONOUR.

was reported last week among those
who have made the supreme sacrifice
in the cause of freedom, having died
of wounds on Sept. 8th, Pte, Mc

Math was twenty-four years of age,
was the soil of a widow and was a
most exemplary young man. He en-
listed with the 83rd Battalion but
was drafted With another unit and
went forward to the front several
months ago. He was a cousin of
Mr. J. C. McMatin of town. 'Mrs. Mc -
Math has also received word of the
death from a gunshot wound of a
nephew, Cyclist Hugh S.Polley of
Calgary, who had been at the front
but a short time, Cyclist Polley

guest of Mr. and Mrs. Mcliath when
on his way from Calgary prior to
going overseas. He was but twenty-
two.
A WALKING `Iu\G ' CLUB.
With the advent of the cooler wea-
ther a number of the young people of
town have formed themselves into a
walking club and on one evening in
the week they take a tramp of Ave
miles or over. The organization, if
organization it can be called, is of
the iimplest, a secretary being the
only officer appointed. On Tuesday
of last week about twenty took the
tramp around the .five mile block
and last night a few more were ad-
ded. The outing ends with a supper_
at the of the local restaurants.
When time season of fowl suppers
comes- around the churches and oilier
organizations in the burgs surround-
ing Clinton which indulge in that sort
of entertainment may expect always a
fair representation of the robust
youth of both sexes from Clinton,
and they will arrive with healthy ap-
petites made keen by a more of less
lengthy walk. Walking is a healthy
exercise and 'tis a 'Weenier: more pec-
pie ;do not indulge in it.
