band concerts, but no :action was
taken.
The mayor said. he had taken upon
himself to order the bricking of the

citizens. at the north endofthe town
were being annoyed by cows wander-

ing gardens.

Trewartha moved that the town solici-

it seemed to be the only $ thin • to do.

A MODERN TANTALUS.
One of .our citizens informs us that
it does not need' the inventive genius
of a Zeus to provide a tantalizing
punishment, because he is, the victim
of one. In his case he waited with
exemplary patience -for laws to
change, for permits to be sold and
for Government dispensaries to pro-
vide the needful refreshment, and
just when all is complete in steps a
malady and a doctor that absolutely
forbids what he so much and for so
long, desired. Talk of Tantalus, he
was not in it, 192)/ takes the prize.
LITTLE LOCALS.
The first band concert ofthe sea-
son was given on Thursday evening
On Friday last the Pastime Club
and Gunn's engaged in a game of
softball at the old ball park. The
Pastimers trotted out several new
men in their lineup and from all ap-
pearances were out to -convince the
public that, they knew how toplay
ball, The Pastinters ran up a total
of 18 'while Gunn's could only manage
to gather a total of 14. Other teams
will have to look ort for ''the Pas -
timers as they, are out to upset the
dope if they ey can.
On Tuesday
evening
ood
a g crowd
was on hand to take in the double-
header. The first game between the
Doherty Piano. Co, and the Clinton
Knitting:'Go.,got under way at 6
pan.
The Dehertys were minus one or
two of their star men and conse-
quently a little weak, with the re-
sult that the Knitters pounded the
hall for fourteen ,tuns, while the Or-
gan -grinders 'only gathered in a total
of nine. Errors were numerous on
both. sides and play at times ragged.
Batteries ;were: Dohertys: B. Cook
and Deeves; for Knitters T. Church.
ill and 13. rJohnston.:
The Knitters, feeling fine from.
their first "victory, undertook; to put
the Town Clerks away in the second
game. - Im the first innings the Clerks
gathered three ,runs, errors on the
part of the Knitters accounting for.
one of these. By the . sixth innings
the Clerks had five runsto the
Knitters' three and everything seemed.
in their favor, with Patterson twirl-
ihig fine ball and making R. Johnston
and other Knitters Peel skit trying
to connect with the old pill. In the
Knitters' seventh they tied things up
and no runs followed till the ninth,
with. two down and one on e Cleric
hitter pomaded out a double and then
the fun started. The Clerk runner
on second base was blocked by the
200 lb. short etop of the Knitters and
heavily sat on hut was not allowed
to take, home on the overthrow at
third, . and the runner from first to
2nd was ruled::tafe by Umpire Pines
at the bags, but was overruled by
Umpire 'Fulford at home plate and
called out. That killed the Clerks', last
efforts. In the last` of the: ninth the
Knitters managed to stage a rally
with two out and; win the game 9.7.
Repot is ate circulating that the
Clercs have protested the game on
account of iJ se w he two decisions and the
committee will sure have their heeds'
full in handing out a decision.

when the Collegiate'. students take on

proved by the gathering, several shlb=

rangements were pretty well com-
pleted for a real cotnitiunhty celebra-

the thought of the ebmmittee that

with exercises, a parade; etc., by the
Public' school children af. Clinton and
surrounding cotimunities, and that
letters bad been sent to a number of

all present. ,

lowed by games in Recreation Park.

the presentation of the Government
medals, also the presentation ofthe
prizes for an essay on "Canada!' to
Miss Marion Snell of 5. S. No. 5,

of speeches and musical numbers.
This to be followed by more games,
softball, races, etc. And in the even-
ing, ; a program will be put on in the
park; also :i dance, for those-- who
wish to dance,- in the town hail
The committee requests that all
the businessmen and citizens decorate
,their places of business and resi-
dences, so that the town may put on
E4 real holiday appearance. It is also
desired - that ' everyone will enter
