The match lasted for an hour and a h lf. In the first half the Chi- cagos galled one goal, and in the last the Sur ns won two goals. The match was one of the most keenly contested ever pia ed here, and was witnessed by a crow of over six hundred people. Gibson, Captain of the Chicago team, played is old game in centre; their goal-kee er stopped many hard shots, and in f ct the playing all round, by both tea s, was thoroughly scientific, which m de the match additionally in- teresting.

SEAFORTH AGAIN FIRsT.—A team of the Huron foot ball club, Seaforth, visited Detroit on Saturday last to play a match with the club of that city, and our boys nobly sustained the reputation of the Canucks by beating_ the subjects of Uncle Sam by a score of three to two. The Detroit team was composed of much *ger and heavier men but the Seaforth players had skill and bottom on their aide, and hence their success. This match was one of a series for the championship of the Western District. Thereare three clubs in this contest, viz: Detroit, Berlin and Seaforth. Thus far Seaforth bids fair for the honor. They now have four points; Retroit two and 8erlin none. The Huron's play at Berlin on Saturday; the return match between the Hurons and Detroit will be played here on the second day of the Firemen's Tournament. The following are the names of the gentlemen who composed the Huron's team who went to Detroit: W. B. Sloan, goal W. Willis and. D. McDonald, backs; J. Livingetone, R. Jackson and T. Steph- ens, half backs; G. A. Dewar and J. Killoran, right wing; W. McDonald, centre; H. J. Crawford, and sT. Smith, left wing. Mr. George Hammill acted as Umpire for the Hurons. The follow- ing reference to the match'is made by the Detroit correspondent, of the To- ronto Globe: "A splendid exhibition football urte.tch was played yesterday betWeen the Hurons of Seaforth and De- troita. A harder fought contest has neve e been witnessed in this State. In the first half Seaforth scored two goals, Killoran and W. McDonald making the kicks. Detroit got none, but in the -second half William and James Mc Kendrick (Detroit) each scoring a gots!, tying the game. Then the playing was hot, and about fifteen minutes before time Smith (Hurons) scored the winning goal. The Seaforth players were in fine shape and their work was systematic and of the winning kind." THE QUEEN'S BIRTHDAY. — Monday laet was observed as a holiday in honor of the anniversary of Her Moat Gracious Majesty. In town the day passed over very quietly. The weather was delight- ful and the roads good and nearly every person who possessed a rig or could hire one went off driving, mostly to Bayfield; a good many went by train to various points, and those who remained in -town, together with a goodly number from the country, spent most of the day on the Recreation Grounds viewing the athletic sports. Early in the feorenoon a base ball match was played between the Stars and Hooks of the Fire Brigade. This was quite • an interesting match, but it was not completed, owing to lack of time. This was followed by a La - crow match between the Oeks, of Sea - forth, and the Scots, of Little Scotland. This was quite an exciting contest, and for a time both teams seemed to be very evenly matched. The Oaks, however, had the largest men, who stood the racket better than their plucky but less weighty opponents. This niatch result- ed in a victory for the Oaks, by four goals to two. In the afternooa the Sehool Foot, Bell competition, came off. There were two matches played, and a great deal of interest was manifested in the result. There was some very 'good playing done by all the clubs, but Eg,- inceadville and No. 9 Tuckersmith came out victorious. The first match was be- -twee"' Egmondville and Centralia clubs, which resulted in a victory for Egitiond- ville by 1 goal to 0. The next match was between No. 9 School Section and No. Tuckersmith. This match result- ed in a victary for No. 9 by a score of 2 goals to 0. In football, skill seems to oaunt for a good deal more than weight, as both the winning clubs in the above r.latal,,,es were quite small lads, while their op narrows two mate have yet prizes an emith pl inatches 9f Satur was ave thega In facts who sta thanP th ticket h lucky nu ticket London, town. ounge, valued at $22, n ents were much larger. 1 This he competition in this ger es to hes.

The balance makes 300 vibrations., every minute, 432,000 every day, and 157,788,600 every year. The same wheel travels 7 feet 1 4-5 inches every minute, 91 miles every day, and 3,561 3-16 miles every year. Few people realize these facts, and wonder why their Watch gives out, never remembering that it has not been repaired, cleaned or even oiled for four or five years, whereas it should be cleaned or oiled every 18 months, or it will begin to wear and become unreliable aa a timeleeper. When requiring an expert iti this line, call at J. C. Stoneman's jewelry store, Hensel!, and he will guarantee you satisfaction in all cases. He is also offering great bargains in Clocks, Watehes, Spectacles and Jewelry of all kinds. 1223-2 " BRIEFS. —The Queen's Birthday pass- ed over very quietly in our village, there being no celebration.
