Big and small, aristocrats and paup- ers, representatives of various nations and callings in bright costume ming- led together in contesting for the various Prises, parading under the watchful eyes of the judges, and there were many proud prize Winners to carry home the. spoils. There were two interesting games of hockey which provided the large crowd of spectators thrills and laughs. The struggle between the Fats and Thins provided plenty of spills and thrills, and the game between the Goderich and Clinton Junior girls was marked by keen enthusiasm. What the girls lacked in experience and fin- esse was easily overcome by the keen interest and enthusiasm they display- ed. The crowd were constantly hold- ing their sides when one of the play- ers made a break away only to over - theta/ the puck and land wrong side up on the ice. The game was cleanly played throughout, resulting in a win for the visitors. Phyllis Manning, daughter of Mr, and Mrs. J. P. Manning, Londesboro, was chosen queen of the carnival, wearing for the occasion a lovely fairy outfit, with filmy white and sil- ver wings and silver diadem. Other contestants for the honor were JoAnn Cuninghame, Ethel Cooke and Shirley Henri who were also fittingly dressed for the occasion. The judges were Messrs. G. H. Elliott, N. W. Trewar- tha and Nelson Heard, the former placing the crown on the queen's head. The various events which followed' were keenly contested, with many en- tries in every class. Winners in each class were: Ladies' Speed Race = 1. Freda Schoenhals, 2, Olive Finch. Gent's Speed — Jack Stephenson, Charles Reeves, Seaforth. Junior Boys, under 16, Ken Colqu- noun, Billy Carter, Junior Girls, under 16 — Shirley Henri, B. Schoenhals, Goderich. Best. Dressed Lady—JoAnn Cuning- hame. Best' Dressed Gent—B. Glidden. .' Comic Lady—Mrs. Huller. Performing Clowns --Lindsay and Garen. Juvenile Costume—Betty Cook. The refreshment booth . was kept busy throughout the evening and af- ter paying all expenses it is expected that the Junior Hockey team will have a small balance to meet their expenses which have been fairly heavy this season due largely to poor patronage. ST. MARYS ARE VICTIMS AS COLTS TURN IT ON The Clinton Colts, wound up the' regular schedule at home on Tuesday night with a parade of goals, when they drubbed St. Marys by the lob - sided score of 12-2. They have just one more scheduled game to play, tomorrow night in Tavistock, and the results of that game will decide who finishes in first place. Playing in Sea- forth on Tuesday night, Tavistock had a field day at the Beavers' ex- pense, winning by the large score. of 10-4. It would appear that the Tavi- stock boys are .plenty hot right new and the Colts will have to be at their best to pull a win there tomorrow night. To get back to the game, it was a wide-open affair, with the Colts hav- ing, the edge all the way, outscoring the Stone -town's 4-2 in the first per- iod, 7-2 in the second, and 12-2 in the third. St. Marys gave their best dis- play in the first period, when they held the Colts to 4 goals and took time out to score their only two goals of the game. .After that it was just one goal after another for the Colts and they missed as many as they scored. "Bonnie" Foster, with 4 goals and 1 assist and F. McEwan with 2 goals and 3 assists were high'point-getters. The ice was keen and play was clean with a few minor infractions of the rules being broken. Streets and Dun- seith were the worst offenders as just at the last of the third period they tangled in a little fracas, but they were only given two minutes by Ref- eree "Chic" Appel, enough to retire them for the remaining period of play. Just 20 seconds before the bell end- ed the second period, Harold Doak came out of his net to clear a shot which rose off the ice and struck him on the eye, opening two cuts, necessi- tating his retirement for the rest of the game, and requiring stitches to be closed. Doak played stellar hockey and his place was taken by Clarence Neilans in the third period, who play- ed equally well in the final 20 minutes. With two minutes of the first per- iod gone Stephenson scored the open- ing goal for Clinton on a pass from Rath. Then at 7.30 Foster scored on a double pass from McKay and F. Me - Ewan. At 9 minutes Richardson op- ened the scoring for St, Marys. Then at 12.10 Streets scored from Pickett, St. Marys got their second goal when Stevens scored at 14 minutes. Pickett wound up the scoring when he took a passfromStephenson. r Streets Pic- kett and Skipper received penalties. Clinton did all their scoring in ex- actly 2 minutes in the second. period. Frank McEwan scored two in about 10 seconds, the first on a pass from "Punch", the second from Johnsen. Foster and the two McEwan's scored the third, "Bonnie" netting the puck. St. Marys were unable to get one past Doak, although the line of Dunseith, Ross and Stevens worked well, and on ' several occasions Doak was the one remaining stumbling block. Rath, Kennedy and Woods Were penalited. The third period saw the Stone- towners fade badly as the Colts ran wild, scoring five goals and missing out by the narrowest of margins on as many more. Foster scored from R. McEwan at 5.10. The second one was reversed when R. McEwan scored from Foster with 10 "minutes gene. Two minutes later Stephenson scored his second goal on a pass from Rath. A minute later Foster took F. McEwan's pass for another one, and Pickett and Streets wound tip the scoring when Pickett bagged Streets' pass at the 16 minute mark, Pickett, Streets and Dunseith were penalized. The final score was 12.2. Clinton—Goal, Doak; defence, Mc- Kay, Rath; centre, R. McEwan; wings, i'. McEwan, Foster; subs, Pickett, Streets,Stephenson, Kennedy, John- son.

After commending the Institute on their good work in the past he spoke on Huron County affairs in general, mentioning the good roads, the Coun- ty Home, how well it was managed, also the system of choosing the war- dens each year. Mrs. Cudmore moved a vote of thanks to Mr. Elliott, which was seconded by Mrs. Heard. l'diss Fanny Lavis then gave a read- ing entitled, "Trees". The singing of God Save the King brought the meet- ing to a close, followed by a dainty lunch, Which was served by Mrs. E. Ward, Miss F. Cunningham, Mrs, W. E, Perdue, Mrs. H. Jenkins, Mrs. J.

Fatal Accident Norman Dillon, middle-aged far- mer of near Dublin was almost in- stantly killed on Friday evening, when the cutter he was driving on Na, 8 Highway crashed into a bus which was carrying members of the Strat- ford Majors hockey team, who were scheduled to play an exhibition game here. Due to the fact that members of the team were held by the police as witnesses, the game was called off. It is alleged that the driver was travelling on the wrong side of the road without a light. The driver of the bus swerved to the left in an ef- fort to clear the vehicle, but was un able to avoid the collision. The dri- ver was instantly killed, and his nep- hew, Robert Dillon, and two members of the hockey team were cut by flying glass. A strange coincidence of the acci- dent is that it took place about 200 rods from the spot where Joseph Mur- ray, urray, McKillop farmer, was killed in a similar manner last October. will be staged on; their home ice. The Colts are the only team that has beat- en Tavistock, that was near the start of the . season when they drubbed them 8 to 2 on local ice., but that beating has long since beenforgotten and the Greenshirts are figuring on handing the Colts their first' setback of the season. As for the third-place position, Seaforth app,ear to have the best chance for it, . They have two more games to play, one in. New Ham- burg and one in St. Marys, and one win will put them in the money, How- ever, should they drop, both games New Hamburg would take third place by care point, and it will keep • the Beavers nipping to win either of these games on strange ice.

Captain Bonar Leaving Clinton This Week After two years of faithful service withthe local Salvation Army corps, Captain Bonar will leave for Toronto at the end of the week. During his. stay here he has made many friends who will regret his removal frown Clinton. It was in August, 1936 that the popular captain came to Clinton, and one of the first tasks he had to face was that of renovating the Army hall and living quarters. After expending much time and effort the task was completed and funds raised to pay for the work. When he first came here Captain Bonar hadone family in the congre- gation, but has since added several members and built up a good sized. following. Last summer the Exeter division was also placed under his supervision, which he later gave up. During the past summer he was instruunental in securing the services• of the London Citadel Silver Band. who gave splendid concerts here. He, has been an untiring worker in the• interests of the Army and has spared no effort in furthering the work: here. For the present the Captain. will not seek another field, but will: take a much needed rest. The work. here for the present will be in charge. of Lieutenant Gilliard, who has been: assisting in the work for the' past. four months. Previous to coming to Clinton he was in charge of the. corps: at New Toronto, and has also been. n stationed at Wiarton, Sault Stes.Marie: and other places.

Helen handled this essay in very effective manner, The Husky- Dog, uskyDog, according to Madeline Mason, holder of Jr. Girls' Shield last year was the hero of the north whose courage and endurance superseded any ether animal friend of mankind. Helen Miller. chose as her subject. "The Lamp", and certainly interested. her audience with her comments on this mundane invention of mankind.
