NEW BANDSTAND OPENING
The opening night :n connection
with Clinton's new band stand, held.
last night onaccount of today being
the 12th, brought out a good crowd
to the `park and the Kilties put" on an
excellent concert far the occasion.
The band found it easier to play and
the music sounded uuch better than
when; playing, on the front street
where the buildings hem in, and those.
who had no cars found a place to sit
down and listen. Threat of a storm
frightened some away.
The new •bandstand is commodious
and convenient for the players' and
when it has another coat on paint
and the park gets a little more ata
tention, it will be a fine place for the
open weekly p n i• a r ,concerts.
Clrnton won the ball game put on.
between the local nine and Goderich
before the band concert, the score
being 6 to 4.
GAVE A. P. GOOD SEND-OFF
About fdty of the business and
professional men of Goderich, in-
cluding a few from Clinton, gathered
on Friday last at the Hotel Sunset to
a complimentary banquet tendered to
Mr. Andrew Porter, who has just re,
tired as collector of customs after
twenty-two years' service.
Mr. C. K. Saunders presided as
toast master. Many compliments
were paid Mr. Porter for his eour-
tesy.and attention to duty during his
occupancy of office and a substantial
check was presented to hint by Mr.
G. L. Parsons on behalf of the in-
dustries campaign and business men
of the town.
Among the speakers were Mayor
Lee, H. T. A, M'aoEwan, Rev. D: J.
Lane, Dr. Shaw, Clinton; G. L. Par-
sons, C. A, Robertson, member -elect,
and W H. Robertson, editor of the
Goderich. Signal,
After the presentation, Mr. Por-
ter made appropriate acknowledge-
ment. Reminiscences were recalled,
anecdotes related and there was
some good natured badinage exe
changed over events extending over
a long period of Mr. Porter's colorful
career.
It developed that in ,his younger
days, he was a cowboy, a printer and
editor, an amateur actor of some
merit, a bank manager, a candidate
for federal parliament and finally
collector of customs. He is an ar-
dent sportsman and a member of the
session and treasurer of Knox Pres-
byterian church. He is a familiar
figure in the community life of God-
prich and still comparatively young,
he is looking forward to many years
of useful retired life.
Mr. Porteris also well known in
Clinton, where for years his father
occupied the position of postmaster
a position he continued to fill after
his father's death until the late Mr.
Scott was appointed.
WINS ON HOME FIELD
A Huron -Perth League scheduled
ball gaine was played on the local dia-
mond on Monday evening between the
local and Staffa nine, Clinton winning
in a 5-4 score. It was one of the best
ball gamesplayed here this season,
the teams being evenly matched at
all angles of the play. Staffa nine
includes a number of the Hensall O.B.
A.'s while the locals are playing only
Hawkins from the bigger league.
Stock had something over Howe;
his opponent on the pitcher's mound,
which was possibly the only notices
able superiority in the two teams.
Staffa went to •bat . first and were
retired scoreless, while for the locals
013rien and Holmes speeded home.
The second was blank all around but
in the 3rd, ' 4th and 5th the visitors
tallied one in each, the locals being
retired scoreless in all three and
Staffa was one up.
The sixth inning turned the tables,
Hawkins and. O'Brien crossing the
home plate and Staffa drawing a
blank. The locals inereased their lead
by one in the 7th and were two up.
The visitors -drew up en them, scor-
ing one in the 8th while retiring the
homesters with a blank and the score
stood 5=4 when Staffa took the bat for
the. ninth.
They were cleaned up, however,
in quick succession two being fanned
and a third caught out at first base,
Clinton winning by a one -run margin.
The game was snappy, and was.
watched with interest by the fans.
Snappy base fielding was responsible
for some real thrills. There were no
homers and but one three -bag hit on
each side. ,

when the amalgamation took place.
He has been with the bank thirty-

sten. His retirement takes effect at

ture of the whole business is that the.
family intend moving immediately
his work ends here to Victoria,. B.C..
Mrs. Sharp left this week for the
Coast to locate a residence and make
arrangements for settling. Citizens
generally will be very loath to lose
Mr. and Mrs. Sharp and their two
charming- young daughters from Clin-
ton but one and all will wish them
good health, good fortune and happi-
ness in the new home to which they
are going. The new manager here
