lage lathery.
QUEEN'S BIRTHDAY. -Exeter celebrated
Queen's Birthday royally. The weather,
although wet and forbidding on Tuesday,
turned to true Queen's weather on the fol-
lowieg day, and as none of the villages and
towns near, with the exception of Zurich,
were celebrating the day, a goodly crowd
found its way by rail and highway to our
town. The fernier., however, did not turn
out well, as they were no doubt taking
advantsge of the fine weather to ,get ahead
with their spring work. The day's
ton began with a trades and can-
thumpian procession, headed by the
Crediton brass band, which paraded up and
down Main Street, eliciting a great deal of
leughter and applause. By the time this
was over Rome of the football teems were
ready for the fray and the people began to
wend their way to the fair grounds, where
• the remainder of the sports were to take
place. Five teams were enteredfor the
football tournament,but two of these decided
to amalgamate their teams, leaving only
four contestants. There was Borne delay in
starting, but finally the first two contest-
ants, Clinton and Sta.ffa, lined up, the ref-
eree tooted his whietle and the fan began.
This match was very closely contested and
at the end of anhour each team had scored one
goal. An extra half hour was played with
up result and the match remained a tie.
The lacrosse match was then begun, Clinton
and Exeter being the only contestants. The
match was very stubbornly contested, but
Clinton finally succeeded in winning the
handsome cap which was offered as a
prize. Eden and Brucefield foot -ball teams
were then called, and after e hard 'match
the victory was gained by the latter by a
score of two goals to one. While- the last
two field events were going on the sports on
the track had been started. There were
two horse races, a very interesting half mile
dash for runners, and an obstacle race, in
which the contestants had to hitch up their
borsea, trot half a mile, weak half a wile
and go as they pleeeed the third half. This
, was a very interesting race. The man who
was slowest at hitching up had much the
fastest trotter, and in the trotting half mile
gained too much advantage to be caugbt,
while the .fastest hitcher had the slowest
horse. Then there were several foot -races,
a bicycle race, a sawing mato!' and a riding
contest between couples on horseback, the
horses and equipments being taken into con-
sideration. Daring the day the chimes in
the Trivitt Memorial church were pealed at
!short intervals, and very many people visit-
ed that fine edifice, climbed to the top of
.the tower to get a view of the town and in-
spected -the mechanism of the chimes. In
the evening an entertainment was given in
the town hall by the Liberal Minstrels of
London. .Altogether it wae a very pleasant
day's amusement and we are sure ourvisi-
tors went away pleased with our enterpris-
ing little town. By the time Brueefield and
Eden foot -ball teams had finished playing,
Clinton had. gone home and it was too late
to play off the final between Staff!), and
Brucefield, so the _first and second prizes
were divided between them. The fol-
lowing is the prize list: Trades pro-

vent it from being stolen, as some of the
robberies that have taken place in some of
the larger °Mee are daring beyond compre-
tension, $50,000 in gold and currency was
hien to one of the banks from a large office
the other day. It was in a hig,blaok leather
bag, which was securely looked. The bag
had two handles and was carried by two
men, one of them a (colored man. The
latter was securely band-ouffed to the bag.
This precaution was taken to prevent any-
one suet:thing-the bag from its custodians.
If robbers attempted to take it they would
have to take the colored individual also.
Then, as a further precaution an armed men
walked behind the two carriers of the bag
with his eyes fixed 011 it intently all the
time. He. was -ready on an instant's notice
to whip out a Stilith atieVesson of the latest
style to be used in defence of the treasure.
THE PIPE CRAZE.
"How does the pipe craze strike you,'
Is an expression or question often heard in
our streets. It haen't yet become so preys -
lent in Buffalo as in •New York, and iome
of the easteen states, but it will soon be here
in all its; musky glory. Its quite English
don't yeti know!.Quite English for the
exquisite young man to go along the 'street
with a pipe in his mouth, just like the
comm8n day laborer. He must have a large
and expensive collection of pipes. They
must all have fine amber month pieces
and must not cost below a certain figure.
Meerchaums are not quite the thing. The
English and French briar take the lead. In
order to be .really in it the young man of
to -day must have a collection Of pipes just
as much as he must have an assortment of
neck -ties. In fact the pipes are really more
essential if he wants to count for anything.
He must give a certain amount of all he has
to the cause of the pipe. For instance, the
man who earns $15.00 per week should not
think of spending lees than $5.00 per week
for pipes and tobacco.
This sum will enable him to get on very
comfortably and keep up a fairly respectable
appearance. This sum will enable him to
appear on the street with at least two new
pipes during the week, and by !sponging a
little tobacco off his chums he can get
through very respectably and then have
something left toward paying board and
washing.
SPRING AGAIN.
The grateful warmth of the spring days
has proved seductive enough to bring out all
of Buffalo's hermits. In the park of a
bright afternoon one may gee a great many
pleasant *ipectaelev. The poor little mother
whsi bad been kept indoors all winter is out
enjoying the balmy air. She is carefully
wrapped in shawls, and, the lap robe of the
buggy is devoted to her exclusive use.
By her side sits the stalwart daughter_
who has hired the horse from the livery.
One is sure that he is hired, because, of the;
unpractised air of the driver and the elms-
ional indignant protests of the horse, who
filets his tail when hie mouth is injudi-
ciouely sawed. Yes, the Park roads offer
an entertaining spectacle those days -a de-
lightful medley. Broughams, Vic:Aerials,
coupes, spider phattens, carts, tandems,
alternate with buggies, surreys spring
wagons and delivery wagons -these last
pressed into family service. Six or seven
persons in 'one vehicle, drawn by one tall
spirited horse, is no uncommon spectacle.

BUFFALO'S GROWTH.
One of the ways how to tell Buffalo is
growing, is to go away for a While and then
notice the improvements when you come
beak. A well-known professional man of
this city, who has been away for almoet two
years on a pleasure jaunt through Europe,
returned home the other day.
ale is reported to have said. " Why,
when I left here there wasn't an electric
car running in Buffalo. There was no
asphalt pavement on lower Main Street, the
Erie County Bank building was not begun,
and I ten you as I stand on this street now
and look at the throngs of people marching
up and down, the eleeiric cars flying along
the streets, and all this hurry and bustle, it
does not seem like the old Buffalo at all.
It is a surprieing change, and 1 prediet that
inside of five or ten years Buffalo will be
one of the greatest cities in the country.

Moseresee, May 22. -The exports of live stock for
Britain for the week ending May 20 amounted to
5,537 cattle ; corresponding week last year, 5,638
cattle. Total shipment to date to all ports, 10,867
cattle and 101. sheep ; total shipments to same date
last year, 15,078 cattle. The first cattle 'from Mon-
treal have arrived on the other fide. Several cables
were received' during the day quoting 6d as the best
price in Liverpool for top, and Old in London'but no
sakiewere reported, owing to this being a holiday
In England. The prices quoted, however, are unsat-
isfactory, and while the cattle bought here at about
50 may • let out," the higher priced cattle will lore
considerable. The inferior cattle shipped on the
first boats are expected to lose a lot of money, and if
the opinions of live stook men prove to be correot in
this connection, the shippers of these cattle will get
little sympathy. Some of the cattle were not nearly
finished, and why they were shipped when it was a
known fact that they would have to go Into the ten-:.
nages is one of the strange things which cattle ship -
ors alone can account for. The opinion is expressed
that while the quotation in London and Liverpool to-
day is 6d to 6ed the shippers will And that their cat-
tle will not bring this figure owing to the fact that
there will be a large supply of cattle in the tannages
at one titne, a fact that buyers will not be slow in
realizing. There is nothing new in freights. On the
local market the butchers were out in large numbers
but trade in cattle was slow with prices rather lower
than the low prices of Thursday. Shippers were not
buying any to.day, asthey have no space to fill just
now, and the prices of cattle are rather lower on
British markets. The best butchers'. cattle sold at
about** per lb, a few very choice ones making 4fio
per Ib; pretty good stock sold at from no to 4 c,
with rough and half fatted beasts at from 31c to
per lb. 'There were several large bulls on the market
to -day %%Isiah were sold at from Sec to 3.1e per lb.
The prices of calves have still a downward tendency,
common verde selling at from $2 to $4 each and good
ones at from $5 to $8 each. Mr. Joseph Richard
bought two good calves for $15, aud three others for
$19. Sheep were slightly higher in price, " clips"
selling at about 41-c per lb, and there are very few
good unshorn sheep coming to the snarket noW.
Lambs are declining in price and sell at from $.50 to
to $4.50 each. Fat hogs are pretty high priced, fed
hogs selling at foul 70 to 710 per lb, with a quarter
of a cent more for those just come off the cars.
There was quite a variety of lean porkers on this
market to -day and prices of these ranged from 45 to
410. '

THE GERMAN RESTAURANTS.
The German element in Buffalo's popula-
tion has done much to set the fashion in
this city's night restaurants. Many of them
copy closely the German beer halls, al-
though they are provided with bars,
they can scarcely be called bar rooms,
for most of the customers sit down and talk
and eat while they drink. If some of the
workers in the temperance came Would but
visit these places and study them, they
would soon understand why men are
attracted there. Temperance restaurants,
coffee rooms, and hotels have been started
time and again, but they never accomplish
what is most needed. They get the patron-
age of the total a.betainers but Vie temper-
ate and intemperate driakers fleeter go near
them. The' avoid them, not because they
sell no liquor, but because they find them
lacking in a score of other attractions which
the German restaurant holds out. - • Tlee
German ealoomof the better class is alw-eye
scrupulously clean; it is always brightly
lighted. The wood work, metal work and
decorations are handsome. The waiters are
attentive and obliging and never expect
tipa. The simple fare is well cooked, neatly
eerved and the price is almost ridiculously
'man. Everybody that has ever tried a
temperance hotel or restaurant knows bow
different these establishments are. One
might almost suspect that they were de-
signed and conducted by liquor dealers to
drive men to drink. They are gloomy,close
and untidy. The fare is pops., 'badly served,
and high in price. If a wise Temperance
edvocate should open a coffee house, and run
cit precisely like a first-class saloon, except-
ing that bp sold no liquor, he might make it
a popular nstitution.
