This ,young man got a five dollar bill from the Rev. Dr. Dpugan of Clinton by telling him a hard luck story that he wanted to get to the bedside of his sick mother at Wind- sor but had no money to buy gaso- line for his ear or to purchase food. He also approached Rev. A. A. Hol- mes, who was more wary and did not give him anything.

Ile was described as being well dressed and respectable looking and it is evident that ire told his story ,convincingly. . SOFTBALL NOTES Last Friday evening, in a' game which proved to be the worst -seen here this season, Lucan defeated Clinton to the'niusic of a 20.-9 defeat. This is the worst defeat Clinton has had thisY ear. The game was a very poor exhibi, tion ,of softball and Lucan just hada walk away. Nearly every player on the Clinton team seemed to have an off day. • . Clinton has defeated Lucan three out of four games and should win the next."In the first, two innings Lucan made 13'rune to,two for 'Clinton. There was a little argument over a play but everybody got quieted (hewn before thereee,as a scrap, but, Clinton sent in a protest ' as Lucan had a' pitcher from Louden- and won their protest. The game was, witnessed"by the largest crowd to 'see a• softball game this season, so it was a pity the local boys didn't put up their best' play. The Lucan nine comes up again this evening and if Clinton wins the game,' it will give . them the - chaan- piatrship of the second halffof the schedule. This game will be the se- cond gamein the playoffs for -`the leadership of the second half of the schedule. If Clinton twins tonight they will meet Exeter for the cham- )ionsltip. The game tonight will no loubt be a good one and as the visitors 1 •r will bring along a big crowd, the Beaverswan t t see e a mitt' 4 , crowd urn out, and they promise 'to make it:the best game seen' here for some brie.

SEEING ONTARIO riRST Mr. Harry Hunt of New York City, who, in company with his wife, has been on an extensive tour through Ontario, called on The News - Record on Friday afternoon. Mr. Hunt was until this summer superin- tendent of the Federal Printing Com- pany, New' York City, having held that position for a number of years, and when he retired he decided to gee something of the world 1d and win- ely, started with his native Ontario. He enjoyed the mote,• trip through the virgin forests of New Ontario very much and was delighted on one occasion to see a big bear amble out of the woods, cross the well-built highway a few rods in front of his car and disappear in the woods at the other side. We said that if he told' that story on returning to New York it would confirm the opinion already held in many ilI-ieformed cir- cles over the• border that Canada was still an untracked wilderness, al- though that highway ;night not bear out the idea, with a -few 'hamlets a- long the lake fronts and the south- ern border. But his answer was: "I'II tell them the -truth and they'll know more' about .Canada -when I'm through." So no doubt we can safe - 1Y leave the honour'of the country in the hands of this native son. Mr. Hunt, • Who is an old Clinton beer, learned, the rudiments of the printing trade in the office of The. New Era tinder the able 'tutilage of Mr, Rebert Holmes ' and his father. the late`: Edward Holmes, and on leaving" Ilere,found', his way to the United States, where he held several positions ;before takieg over the one from which e recently resigned. ed, e' i still'in h' i st is xm and" t p e to ends to have a real, holiday, (conning ever .:to.. see his natio e Iand first. .
