BARRISTON BRONCHO$ DEFEAT WINGHAM TWICE, AND WIN THE ROUND BY ,6 TO 2 Friday, the thirteenth proved to be the unlucky day for the Wingham seniors when they went down to their first defeat of the season before the Harriston Bronchos. The largest crowdof the season witnessed the game, over 700 excited •fans being present to cheer their team,' over 100 coming from Harriston by special train. The ice was the keenest the boys have played on thiseyeaar and a fast pace was set by both teams. Harris- ton showed greater combination and were more, finished around the goal, their three goals were all scored as the result of combination, while Wingham's lone counter was made by Ken. Somers on an individual play` near the close of the game. Harriston Bronchos were exceed- ingly lucky in one of their counters but on the evening's play the better team won. Frank Kemp handled' the game and handed out a number of .penalties, all of which were for minor offenses. During the third period Jack Mc- Gee, the local guardian of the nets, was injured when the puck hit him on the mouth, cutting the lower lip,' knocking off two teeth on the upper jaw, but after receiving medical at- tention from Dr. Colborne, gamely returned to the goal. The line-ups:- Harriston - Goal, Davidson; de fense, L. H. Burrows and Pritchard; centre, H. H. Burrows; wings, Tilker and Gregor; subs, Ward, Foster and Newman. Wingham-Goal, McGee, defense, Alf. Lockridge and W. Lockridge; centre, H, Mitchell; wings, Brown and A. Mitchell; subs, Somers, Gur- ney and B. Mitchell. Harriston Bronchos ., defeated the Wingharn Seniors 3-1, in tho second game of the .semi-finals, on Monday night, winning the .round 6-2, The ice was soft, and before the game boys were sweeping water off the ice. The play was fast in the first period but slowed up as the game progress- ed. Pritchard started the scoring when he broke through .the Wingham de- fense and stick -handled his way right into the net, A few minutes later L. Burrows notched another on a neat bit of combination.: Tilker,on left wing seemed to get wild .and served two penalties in this period and an- other in the 3rd period. Before the second period was un- der way very far, Pritchard scored Harriston's third goal. Wingharn seemed to find new energy and be- gan a relentless attack on Harriston's goal, and the rest of the period the play was mostly behind. Harriston's blue line, but luck was against them and no score resulted. W. Lockridge and Pritchard were exchanging bumps when Kemp gave them both a rest, Later Pritchard broke through. the defense and only the stellar work' of McGee saved another. goal. The third period, opened with H. Brown picking .up a loose puck at Harriston's blue line, he slipped past. the defense and had no trouble in beating Davidson for Wingham's on- ly goal. Winghain worked hard but were unable •to get in close to the. goal, although they played much bet- ter hockey than the Bronchos. McDonald turned in a very neat performance for the locals and, had the ice been hard, the score would most surely have .been reversed, Operated On In Hospital On Friday, Dr. A. W. Irwin under-- went nder-went an operation in Winghain Gen- eral Hospital.

Belgrave, Feb: lf}t h, 1981 Finlay Anderson, Esq., Belgrave, Dear Mr. Anderson:-. As the Council of East Wawanosh assembled here this afternoon, we would take this opportunity on thie,. your final appearance with is official- ly, of expressing to you not only few ourselves as a Council, but for the ratepayers of the municipality in gen- eral of our appreciation of the valu- able services you have rendered to this, the township of your adoption, Fifty-three years ago, as a young man, you became a member of the Council and for twelve years in this capacity served your municipality faithfully and well -nine of these years as Deputy Reeve. Your appointment in 1895 as Twp. Treasurer was a most deserving and• well -merited one to a faithful and capable servant and your 35 years of continuous service as Treasurer coup- led with your twelve of service also on the Council Board make a record of municipal servicesomewhat uni- que and a record of which you may be justly proud. In looking back nous over half a oentury since when you, first entered municipal life and its ac- tivitics one is struck with the marvel- lous changes that have taken place in that period 'not only in the devel- opment of this country but ,especially regarding the conducting of munici- pal matters in which you at all times kept fully abreast of, the times where your sage advice and counsel were al- ways appreciated and where you were one of the guiding hands, so to speak; of municipal affairs. We hear and read occasionally .of men long in public life termed io grand old men, such as Gladstone of the Motherland, McDonald and Laur- ier of our own fair Dominion, but you, sir, can be justly and truthfully called "East Wawanosh's Grand Olin Man.'' Time has dealt very generously with you and now since you have deemed it advisable to relinquish the duties of Township Treasuscr., we hope and trust you will yet be spared to enjoy many more .years inthis, your evening. of ;life and that youwill still find: ,opportunities of attending our council. meetings when your. -health will per.ttmityou to do so, where, you nay, rest assured, a ancrst hearty and" ' cordial welcome will, at all .times, await you. Signed on behalf of the Municipal Council of East 1Vawvanosh. R. H. Thompson, A. Porterfield, Reeve. Clerk,.
