Jaekson, Sr., one of Clinton's oldest en.ens, on Monday last cerebrated his eighty-first birth- day. Me, Jackson has been a resi- dent of Clinton since 185,1 • and es- tablished a business here almost im- mediately which he carried on for 'many years. During the early days he was pretninentlyi connected with the pubile life of the town, 1/aving served in the council and in varipus ways contributed to the upbuilning of the municipality with which he cast in his lot so early in its history. He is probably the tallest citizen who was thus so intimately bound up with the early fortunes of the hub of Huron. Mr. Jackson is the oldest of three brothers, elf ;residents of Clinton for many i years and, who have all contri- buted much to its Prosperity. The News -Record joins with 'Mt, Jack- son's many friends in wishing him many happy returns of the day. PLAYED IN A POUR.

For the first half the field was only slip- pery but towards the end it became slithery and on the "skinned" dia- mond it was almost impossible to navigate at all. The condition of the field coupled with the fact, that it was a • hatd- fought game throughout made it a very severe test of temper and endurance and it was much to the credit of the play- ers thal the game was a gentleman- ly .one.
