Reeve Elliott pre- sided. The correspondence included a let- ter from Mr. R. 1S. Smyth, complain- ing of the lack of protection given him in a recent fire when his.. borne and season's crap were destroyed by fire, and requesting the council to ask for an investigation by the Fire Marshal. In view .of the pending correspondence _between the Tire Marshal and the Fire Chief .it was decided to lay ,over this communica- tion for the time being, Several of the heads of committees gave verbal reports of the work ac- complished by their committees in the month. A good deal of discussion was in- dulged in regarding the streets and a plan of the drainage system. .It appears that a drain was discovered by those putting in a new tile drain on Huron street just recently and some of the ,councillors called atten- tion to tten-tion°to the fact that such things may often happen unless a map of such drains is kept. It was deeided to eave the matter in the hands of the treet committee, to enquire as to ow a map should be obtained and •eport at the next meeting. The matter of digging up the treets by the waterworks eon -anis - ion was discussed, also, and Coun. 'Ilor Murdoch asked if the Com - lesion had had permission to -dig to the surfaced roadway on Mary trees. It appeared that it had, .not ad such permission. Mr. Murdoch aid the clay was put back into the rle but that the surface was not fin- hed as before and that it would ink and make a hole which would ave to be mended. This had !been: one so often that the council was etting tired of footing the !bills. It as finally decided to get the place Wished properly and send the bill to e Waterworks Commission.

This was the first game of a three game series, and gives the Colts from Ches- ley the edge over our Colts, most of whom looked snore like "the old gray mere," in yesterdiay's contest than the sprightly Colts we are used to seeing. The game was one that produced the poorest effort on the part of the locals seen this year. Livery man seemed to be trying to outdo the oth- er in erears. Altogether they collect- ed twelve of them, and several more might have gone in that column had it not been for the kindheartedness of theoffici scorer,The1 o al Chesley Y boys also had five errors, but had little difficulty in overshadowing the locals. Clinton collected five runs on 7 hits. Chesley had a total of 14 runs on 14 hits. Carrick had 11 strike. outs and issued 4 walks, and up until the ninth pitched fair ball. McCart- ney had 9 strikeouts and also issued 4 bases on balls. Both pitchers went the full game. -Space does not permit a detailed report of the game, for which we are thankful. Chesley took an early lead when they •scored twice in the first inning on three hits. Again in the third they seared twice to make it 4-0. Clinton fans got the only pleas- ant thrill of the game in the third and fourth, when the locals showed signs of reviving, and tied it up. McEwan, Wagg and Carrick scored in the third and Holmes scored the tieing run in the, fourth, two of these. runs were errors on the part of Ches- ley. W,agg's run, when he stole home from third, tickled everyone, but even at that, if the catcher hadn't dropped the ball he might have been tagged out. Chesley again took the lead in the fifth when Boos walked and came home when McCartney and Thompson hit safely. Again in the seventh McCartney was on on an er- ror, took second, and came home when Wilcox doubled. Ranson scor- ed Clinton's final run in the eighth, to snake the score 0-4. Even at this stage of `?;e game local supporters hoped for a final ninth inning rally. Well their hopes were not dissap- pointed, the only sad part being that the raIIy was on the wrong side of the score board. Chesley turned the game into a rout when they scored eight runs. The locals who before had blown up individually, all blew up together and collected five errors, while their opponents. were collecting 8 runs. "Punch" McEwan, the only Colt on the home forces to show much sign of life dur- ing the gams, gave the dying kick in the Inst of the ninth when he drove out a three -bagger which went for naught as the next three men up went down in •order. Well the next game is in Chesley on .Saturday, and if the locals don't snap out of it, it's going to be their last. They beat just as good a team when they eliminated Wingham, and if they play ball there's no reason why they shouldn't take Saturday's game.

SUNDAY EIVE/NnNG FIRE! The fire alarm was sounded 'Sun- day evening about six o'clock, a fire having broken out in the cellar of the residence of Mr. A. T. Cooper, Ful- ton street, Fortunately the blaze was controlled before much damage was done. It is not quite certain what caused the fire, Mr. Cooper had just been putting a little fire in the furnace and it is possible that a spark may have ignited a pile of small lints which were piled in the cellar, though a considerable distance from the furnace, or it may have been from the electric wiring, although the Hydro people do not seem to think sn. Anyway a brisk fire start- ed up and was quickly getting head- way but it was soon subdued. The prompt use of the garden hose and those of a neighbor, Mr. C. W. Dra- per, doing fine service, although the. fire was corning up into the hall and living room and the house was filled with smoke, but it soon cleared away and no great damage was done. Mr. and Mrs. Cooper were enter- taining company to tea and they went on with it later, when it was found that the trouble, was confined to a small area and the smoke was so successfully cleared out. It is matter for congratulation that the fire was so quickly control- led. LITTLE LOCALS The Ladies' Guild .of ' St. Pout's church will hold their Monthly meet- ing• on Thursday, Sept. 12th.
