of the best of the seasdn. Bot)s
teams were on their toes all the time
the Foundry showing much improve-
ment over their previous game. The
score throughout the game was very
close with Fry-Gunns leading until
the first of the last inning when the
Foundry scored three runs and were
one up. In the final half of the
game Frank Preston laid down a
beautiful bunt and reached first base,
Charles (Ty) Mason, the next batter,

far enough so he leaned a little heav-

ball for a home run, thus winning the

village of Blyth. It is some -years
since deer have been seen in this vic-
inity. What has driven thein so far
from their usual haunts is hard to
account for, but it is not likely they
will be around here when the hunting
season opens.
The New Hymnary.
The new Book of Praise of the Uni-
ted Church of Canada, which will be
known as "The Hymnary," is rapidly
nearing completion. It will contain,
roughly, seven hundred and thirty
hymns, and the Psalms, in meter, and
for chanting and reading, Scripture
,Passages, Canticles and Ancient Hy-
mns and Prayers. The book has been
viewed by the 112 Presbyteries of
the Chinch. The expert committee
in charge of the work has an arduous
task which they patiently and labor-
iously carried out. The whole church
should be grateful and appretiative
for the service rendered.
