C, It football teaire played the Stratford O, I. on the latter's eanfpus on Saturday afternoon last and demonstrated their football abil- ity by defeating the team of the Classic City in a score of 1-0. The game was played in a downpour of rain and the field was to slippery to make good football,. but Clinton succeeded an scoring the only goal of the ganie on a penalty trick in the middle of the first half. The line up was as follows : Goal, Caldwell ; backs, Beacom, Torrance ; Halfbacks, Sparks, J. Smillie, Kilty ; Forwards McCrostie, Kaiser, S. Smillie, Mof- fatt, Blateliford.

A good erowd should- attend this match on Satuaday to encourage the boys in theia effortseto bring the Hough Cup to Clinton again. THIS IS TROUT -DAY.' The fishing season opens today and number 01 the local diseiples lisaak. Walton have already been seek- ing out their old haunts, the well- ; remembered streams, rod in hand, in ' search of the finny beauties. Happy is the man who in such fine spring weather is in a position to say, "I go a -fishing," and suit the action to the word. It is funny, too, how the average man will spend the Whole of a rather chilly spring day whipping a trout stream, up to the waist in water, carirg not whether Ise "gets in" over his waders or not, but indeed waders are new -fang• led things and were not tensidered a necessity at all in the, good eta days when speckled trout were to be had in plenty, the average lean, however, waders or not, will thus spend a whole day in an icy stream, coming to no' harm whatever, while if he were so inuch as to get his feet !lamp in the performance of lis ordinary duties he stands a good chance of "catching his death of `THE OLD FLAG, - Principal Bouck of the Model school gave his address on Our Flag" by recuest before the League of Wesley church on Monday evening, the meet- ing being under the direction of the Good Citizenship department. There was a fairly good representation of the, young people and also a number of those not in 'the habit of attend- ing regularly who listened to the address with keen interest. Mr. Bouck has made an exhaustive study of this matter and explained many things in connection with the Union Jack of which most people have at best very hazy ideas. "Canadians as a rule," remarked Mr. Bouck, "Though imbued with a deep sense of loyalty, are not as enthusiastic about the flag as they ought to be. We do not make enough use of our flag," said he, "On St. George's Day, April 23.rd, I looked in vain' for the display- of the ilag on One building in Clinton," He then ex- plained that the reason it was not hoisted on -the Model school building was because of the fact that there was no pole. This is a state of at fairs which should be eernestied be- fore another such occasion:. Mr. Reuel; spoke of the Christian significaece of the Union Jack. "No man, said he, can be a truly loyal subject without being re Christian, and no Britisher can be a Christian without being loyal to the old flea. • d„ thia bit 01hunting" urged the speaker, "learn its true signific- ance and when it is .understood you will admit that it should be an ob- ject . of reverence," Altogether it was an address of ablearbing interest. "I shall look on that old flag with al new interest," was the spoken thought of one at the conclusion of the address and it voiced the ,sentiments- of many. A very hearty vote of thanks was ten- deeed Mr Bolick at ,the cbriclasion of bis talk. LITTLE • LOCALS: Mr. and Mrs. A.

LIGHTNING'S FREAKS. Mr. mid Mrs, Fenwiek Stewart of the eta con. of Stanley have especial cause for thankfulness that the ' storm of Tuesday morning of last week did not do even more damage to their dwelling than it did. ;The lightning came down through a chimney scattering the stovepipes hither and thither and a great ball of fire was seen to roll along the bedroom floor. Arrether ball burned a hole in the kitchen table, and the cistern was almost completely wrecked by lightninas bolts having punellea holes in it as if done by a crowbar. Strange to say, .though several parts. of the house were burnt by the lightning, the buildiree did not take fire and no one came to any harm except from fright, ST. PAUL'S CHURCH.

Rev. C. E. and Mrs. Jeakins and some of the official members received the people at the door mid when all had gathered a very pleasing pro- gram was gone through, the rector presiding in his usual happy manner. Major H. T. Ranee gave an interest- ing ;review of the affairor -Oa church, going back several years, showing a gradual and steady advance until now all the affairs, financial and other- wise', are in a vera jaLisfactory state. TWO quartettes ,:endered sea ectiens, Mr. John Ransford gave a reading, Miss Lawson a piano solo and. Mews. Holloway, Dowding, Do- herty and Rance sang a ."Crow Song" which was most amusing. At the conclusion of the program the ladies served dainty refreshments and a pleasant hour was spent in social chat over the tea cups. The flast soc- ial gathering of its kind in connec- tion with this 'church thus proved to be an exceedingly pleasant inie and served to bring the different mem- bers into kindly soeial relationship with .each other, which was the ob- ject aimed at, Make The Best, of It. Clinton moved into the dry col- umn this morning, Aad, as a consequence, the hotels have raised their rales. Furthermore, and in eonsequence thereof also, for certain accommoda- tion for 'horses which has heretofore gone free—or rather the Bar has paid for it—there will now be a charge. Who could expect otherwise ? Are the hotel keepers any different from men in other walks of life who have to keep at least one eye on material things. Somebody has said ana sticks to it that the farming community will pass by on the other side because Clinton has banished booze. But this is a reflection upon our friends in the country that The News -Record does not approve of. But still it is a.tfacii that several Goderich citizens, wbo were in town last evening, appeared to think that She new order of things will, in a business tray, benefi h Goderich et the expense of Clinton, They were, therefore, not feeling a -b all cloWneaet earl are lipping that Clinton will re- main dry until the millenium comes, - or rather until Goderich too, passes However, be the Goderich, Sea - forth or Ply,th attitude as it may it is up to us DS eitieens of Clinton to fit into' the changed' conditions as agreeably as possible.
