Clinton's biggest ,day the annual School Scholars Sports, was held on Frdday ,las9, This is the one day in the year which ,for the past six years has been looked forward So by old and young, and especially by the scholars themselves and their parents, On Friday ,horning the weather did not promise very favorably, there being an appearance of rain. This had 'all cleared away by noon, how- ever, and the afternoon was ideal being just coo? enough to lie vont- i•ortable. Teprocession, whichwa The n formed on the school grounds, 'and marched down Ontario street and along Albert street to the park, was even Better than usual. It was headed by Mr. W. Jackson's auto, one ot the first 'earned out by the Clinton Motor Car Company, driven by llIiss Rance, and which contained Messrs, Jackson, D. S. Clulf and John Craig, The, Kitties Band of 'Lucknow followed, looking very picturesque in their Highland costume and charming the hearts of everyone with so much as a drop of Scottish blood in their veins by the skirl of the pipes, than which, so 'tis said, there is no sweeter Inustr, this side heaven lo the I3tghlandnran. Then came the members of the town council in carriages,then the 'Model school trudtees marching two and two. After this canoe a gaily decor- ated carriage bearing ''ilfiss Canada," pe:ionated by :Miss Maida Arincrbr, surrounded by her attendants, follow- ed by the p:rls all dressed in ''vhite and each carrying a spray of !tiepin. This was indeed a pretty spectacle and called forth many, an admiring remark. A carriage containing the younger pupils brought up the tear of the 61, . � column aad was follow- ed Llov- ed by our own Citizens Band, then a company of "Old Maids" 1n pictur- esque array and then the boysinarch- ing two abreast. Any casual obser- ver looking at Phis imposing proces- sion might easily imagine that the census enumerators must have made some mis,ake in thefe estimate of the population of Clinton. There seemed to be thousands of children, in uliat Procession;, but perhaps there were only hundreds, The News -Record didn't count diem. On reaching the park the girls went through the "14Iaple Leaf Drill" and very pre'sy it was. They were trained by Miss Rance and performed the drill very gracefully and prettily. The boys also gave a military :rill tinder the supervision of Major Rance. A full program of sports followed, the list of prizes beinggiven below, The bands furnished music at inter- vals during the afternoon in front of the grand stand. A slide proved' a greatsource of fun to the little ones, and to some of the older ones as well. A la'.;e terit on tile ground fureislh- ed a place to rest and where refresh- ments were served ,'o the childhen at tea time. • "Tom" Greig was on hand dealing out ecmonade to thirsty ones, and he didn't have time to get lonely. 'A couple of baseball ,hatches; one between the trpstees with Principal Hartley, and the 'Old Maids" result- ing in a victory for the latter, the, gentlemen , of the board being . too clhival'rms, of course, to' Will from the "ladies," Another game was. played between a team ,from the Model school and one "from the first form ,of the Collegiate, the score being .12-2 in favor of the former, A lacrosse uiatteli between' the local seniors and a team from Goder,;li,.re-' iP TheCls led stiltedu1' a, 4 1 to a e to , in the first half, but in the >econd they allowed the visitors to ;atch up. Clitaton hasn't played the game for ;several' years so did very well for a trial game. Mr. Aldy" Holmes refereed to tic' entire. satis- faction of all, Mayor Greig and a deputation of prontnent lSeaforth citfrens came up. just to see how "it was, .,lone.',' They stayedall afternoon, were most favorably impressed and expressed the determination to have smite such flay v for their school if, possible this vear.
