s Spent—The Procession
nee Ball Match, dire.
[FROIF OUR OWN REPORTER.]
The twen y -third of April was an
epoch in G lph's history. Fifty years
ago on that 4Iay the first tree was cut on
the site of hat is now the town of
Guelph; fift years ago the country was
one vast fore t, unbroken Bei% here and
there by the,, mall clearing of a pioneer's
axe; fifty years ago -the rich agriculteral
coantry, ofhich Guelph is - the centre,
'In
lay awaiting ' the sturdy farmers whose
efforts have . ade it what it is—one of
the beat cult vated and most productive
parts of Can a. To trace the history
of Guelph fr 'm that period till now; to
shrew the c4 elopment of enterprise and
the establish4nent of industries; to fol-
low the chan es that have transformed
the face of ti country, would be to give
the history of almost any part of Canada,
with this ex, eption, that scarcely anoth-
er town can 4how so good a record of ad-
vancement o rapid and substantial.
Looking baci, _then, on the events.of the
last half ceittzry, the inhabitants of
Guelph hail% no small reason to be proud
of their to n, . and the general en-
thusiasm foi4id fitting utterance in the
display of la t Monday. The clamor of
bells andca4ion at an early hour an-
nounced the; arrival of , Guelph's fiftieth
birthday, brit the opening of the offit'al
l
i
programme as the regaling to fruit in
the Drill Sh " the school and other chil-
dren, to the umber of twelve hundred.
Athletic genies were then held in the
market grouted, after which the Welling-
ton Field B tery and rifles were drawn
,
up in the M rket Square, and precisely
at the -stroke of noon delivered a roaring
salute. Ater the cannonading and
musketry ha1 ceased, a grand procession
was formedstarting from the Town
Hall. At tie head marched the battery
and rifles, u der the command of Major
Macdonald. Then in carriages . were
Mayor Ch wick, Mr. justice Galt, Sir
A. T. Galt, Mr. George Hood, Mr. Alex.
Somerville, j memberof Parliament,
town officiala &c. Then cabs filled by
old settlers of the firSt , year, old and.
gray, but in eresting as specimens of the
perseveranc and industry that have
made Guelp what she is, followed. by
Mr. Thomas ILynch, the first male child
born in the town.. This historical part
of the prodession was succeeded by
'members of St. George's, St. Patrick's
and St. Andrew's Societies, each march-
,
ing under it own helper and preceded
by its own and playing national airs.
Then came arriages representative of
'the various duatries of the tostn, pre -
dee ed by a jxolitary bushwhacker with
oxen and ca , symbolical.of the struggle
and hardshij of 50 years ago. The pro-
cession paraded the principal streets, and
made a deto r in order to afford the pro-
cesaionists--ai opportunity of seeing the
spot where tie first tree fell, immediately
beside the G and Trunk Railway bridge.
Next in ord r on the official programme,
,
but first in tihe *minds of lovereof sport,
was the ba4e ball match between the
Maple .Lea$ (professional) .vs. Maple
Leafs (amateur), which took place on the

pected a go game were not diaappoint-
ed, althong it needed no prophet to
foretell the esult. The amateurs play-
ed well an pluckily enough to have
lbeaten any ordinarily good team, but
the first co ple of innings showed .,not
only the au eriority of their opponents,
but their i elation to play their beat.
At the end f the game the score footed
up 29 to nothing in favor of the profes-
sionals. The victors showed themselves
masters of the game, and it will take a
good team to keep from themi this year's
championship. After dark the loyalty
of the citizens displayed itself in a gen-
eral illumination of the town, and, the
business part presented a splendid. ap-
pearance. The conclusion of the day's
jubilee was a grand -display of fireworks
in the • Market Square. by Prof. Hand,
whose talent in handling the brilliant
material is Well known throughout the
Province, An immense bonfire was set
on `fire in the centre of the Square, and
the tail ascending columns of flame lit
up the crowd with a glare, and lighted
the. way for the dispersion of the citizens.
Notwithstanding the crowded streets,
no accident or disturbance marred the
igeneral pleasure of the proceedings, and
