THE TIRED FARMERS MATCH.
(The following poem was written
many years ago about ,a football
swatch between 'Egmondvllle and
Seaforth.)
McMichael vasa citizen
Of credit and renown,
was he
football c •
A Eoo captain eke v s
Of famous 'Seaforth town.
Now captain James says to his men,
"Together we have . been
For eight long tedioui years, yet we
-No football match have seen."
A. A. ELECTIONS.
The S. C. I. Athletic Association el-
ections' for the boys on Tuesday

throughout the year and -the two
Sports Days this fall, the Scafonth

the County Field Day, Friday, ,Oct-
ober 5,
The officers are:
President, Norman Jefferson..
Vice Presidentt.John McDonald.
Secretary, Basil Duncan.
Track Capt., George .Daly.
Baseball Capt., George Parke,
Softball Capt., 'Clarence Trott.
Hockey Capt, Tom. Cluff,
Tennis Capt„ Earl Gillespie,
Shooting, Neil Tyndall, ,
The ladies fair, did deck the stand,
(They always take the lead,)
Kilburnie too and Geordie Trott,
And W. Obstinate Reid.
Reid's "Counter" -part was also there,
And Banker Weir, 1 think,
A "Weir"y time they had to wait
.Before they got a drink,
"hardware," are the words sweet
Wm, used
When 'Seaforth boys would 'fall,
"Coal" chills ran down his manly
spine,
When they would miss the ball.
•
What's this throws darkness o'er the
scene,
Is it a gathering storm ?
No, no, 'tis but a human cloud,
MdGuffie's portly form,
And limping Jitas from the north,
-Came out to see them play,
And the "Golden Lion" •b"azed in awe
Upon that great array.
And George Antagonistic Sills
And 'John Secluded Steet,
Were there on time to see the game,
They never miss .a treat.
Red was the color Seaforth chose,
While blue the "drones" all wore,
But bluer still were McMichael's men.
'When that fierce .fight was o'er.
Now Carmine Jackson does his best
Te .put the "drones" in place,
And Crawford gets the Sea -forth men
Alt ready for the race,
Constable 'Bob, with his blackthorn
stick,
His duty does not shirk,
While jocular Rose, with •his bold
black eye,
.Assists him in his work.
Now honest Sandy starts the ball,
With a kick from his 'No. '10 shoe,
And Prendergast doth stand aghast,
To see what''Sandy can do.

Now, in the town of Egmondcille,
A little south of here,
Where "Egmondvil'lains" live and
thrive,
On Colbert's #anion beer.
Lives Jake McGee, a farmer once,
dint now front work retired,
The Mayor of Egmondvillc's fair
•town,.
By young and old admired.
He called his little band et: once,
!Retired farmers all,
With one accord they turned .out
quick,
Responsive ,to his call.
But when the day appointed came,
' (And Cap Mc -Michael too,)
Jake found that he was three men
short,
;So what was he to do ?
i''43 will not do to take old inen,"
Says sly old Captain Jake,
"So 1Conley, McIntosh and Con
VanEgmond I will take."
And Captain Jimmy kicked the ball,
`Not wisely, but too well,
And a hole in the ground debt mark
the spot
Where that bold calptaiu fell.
"Great was the fall thee' of," says Jake
"Who'd think you'd sink so low," .
But Jimmy only laughed "tee -bee,"
While 'Jacob laughed "Ke -hoe."
The way that Tyerman missal the
ball
Was wonder el 'to see,
But when the famous game was o'er
A 'Tyre(d) man was he.
And Billy Smith with his corset neat,
,From work he never flinches,
Why, once I'm told he kicked the ball
Almost a 'hundred inches,
His blood was up -(so was hair)
iHe'd bravely do his best,
He'd give the air a vicious kick,
And then lie down and rest.
Aud Tail.' Jim Beattie kicked the ball:,:.
tWith.all his might and main,
Tho' badly beaten still he smiled,
