OUR MARKSMEN AT OTTAWA. -1-1.13 we
hinted last week, the Seaforth team
whioh attended the Dominion Rifle As-
sociation's match at Ottawa last week,
both collectively and individually, dis-
tinguished themselves as marksmen
and brought credit to the town. They
all did vvell, but it will not he consid-
ered at all invidious to make special
mention of the splendid shooting of Mr.
Alexander Wilson. This gentleman
had. just returned from Wimbledon, and
it would have been very 'ereditable to
him had he not done _more than secure
a plane in the team for the second time
in two successive matches, but he has
made even a reticle better record than
this. He took a prize in every match,
obtaining the Governor General's prize
a $250 and badge; the second prize in
the grand aggregate, and the Dominion
of Canada medal, and the National
Rifle Association medal for being - the
highest of the Ontario members of the
Wimbledon Tea,m for 1882,7headirm the
team by 12 points. So far as we cam
recollect, this is the best record ever
made by a marksman at our Canadian
Wimbledon. We beg to congratulate
our young friend on his skill aud the.
-distinguished honors he has won. He
reached here on. Wednesday after hav-
ing attended the formal reception given
Colonel Gibson by the citizene of Ham-
ilton on his return from England. He
looks as if shooting and old country air
agreed with him, and seems to wear his
boners lightly.
Too Mean Comearmons.—A corres-
pondent last week directed attention to
the great difficulty that exists in securs
irig the attendance of a sufficient 'num-
ber of councillors at meetings to form a
etioruna. This is a difficulty by no
means pecetist to the present council,
but has existed ever since Seaforth was
incorporated as a town, and the num-
ber of couucillors was hicreasecl. During
the present summer, as well as previous-
ly, meeting after meeting has been I
called by the Mayor and no business 1
could be done on account of there not
being it sufficient number of members
present to forma a quorum. In this way I -
important business is delayed and loss
to the town is the result. The best
renaedy for this etate of things is te
duce the number of comacillors. There.
are now three councillors from each
ward, whiich with the two Reeves and
the Mor form a body of twelve. If
there were but one councillor from each

wrote. What happened to the other
17 ? 'Did their enerage fail them at the j
Sticking point, or were they told thatit
was useless for them to write? We
believe the latter to be correct, and We
have it on very good authority that the
head master asked them as a favor not
to write, as it would lower the percent-
age of the school. Had the whole class
written, as was the case with the Cab
tomato Institutes, and taking into con-
sideration the 17. nils, 30 per cent7
would have passed, which would have
been the correcteetimate. Now, if the -
writer wishes to Make a comparison, bus
will find that not only the oft sinning
Collegiate Institutes, but a great many
of the High Schools, have succeeded a
great deal better than the Seaforth
school. It is very easy to palm off a
high per centege on people who are
ignorant of school affairs, however &-
honorable it may be, but we feel for
the man's conscience- We do not see
what the school has to boast of. We
admit it did very well, It succeeded
passing half-a-do*n Ws and a few
sickly intermediates, arid had. it passed
any of the higher grades, we would have
said it did remarkably well,
• We believe the people of Seaforth are
very well pleased with their school.
They do not expect much from it yet,
and wh,en any person talks about com-
peting it with a Collegiate Institute,
they will only laugh at the presump-
goo. The two are not to be mentioned

Schools cannot give them. There you

We would have left the Seaforth•
school alone in :its giory, bad the
School Board not 'taken such a mean
and contemptible way to advertise it.
The Collegiate Institutes may have ad-
vertised to a large Otent, but we have
never seen them do it in such a dishon-
orable way as the Seaforth school bail
taken. They do not puff their schools
at the expense of ,othem Neither do :
they send out exaggerated results to
catch poor unfortunates for their vic-
tims. The writer has taken pains ti°
tell us that the inducements of the
larger schools are not reliable. It 1S
very easy to make an assertion, bat it
is a very different thing to substantia
it. We should like if he would tell CB
wherein they have sinned, so that we
might give them a hint to be careful
future. On the other hand, we would
say to the fathers of the Seaforth High
School that it is too scion. for . them to
get on their high horse.: Let them teke
