S. Roberts, W. K. Pearce; skip ; No. 2,—C. W. Palest, F. Holmested, R. S. Hays, E. C. Coleman, skip; No. 3,—James McMi heel, T. F. Coleman, H. Speare, W. D. Bri hnnkip. The Seaforth, players came out vi torious by 21 shots. In view of re- cent v ctories, the Seaforth club are com- menci g to feel that they are just about in- vincible, and tha the province does not contain many te ms that are up high enough to play in t eir class. • INJURED IN CHI( 1.00. —Mr. Josiah Wat- son of this town r ceivedl word from Chi- cago a few days ag, of a serious accident which befel his thi d son, Mr. John Wat- son, there. Mr. NA ateon has been in Chi- cago about a year, and was employed with the street railw y company painting bridges. He w s knocked off the ladder on whie he was standing by a I passing car. His spine was injured and at last °counts his condition was critical. He is confined in the company's hospital and is rem- ving the very best pos- sible care and atte tion. Mrs, Marsh, his aunt, with whom h was boarding, is also in constant attenda cc on him in the hos- pital. He is about 21 years of age, and is a steady, induetrious, well doing young man. The news of his accident was a severe shock to his panents and other friends here, but all will hope that future reports will be more encouraging. • TICE RED Miren—Mesers. Gad ke & Lyons, the new proprietors of tho red mill in this town, have just completed extensive im- provements, not alone in the machinery of the mill, but also on the exterior of the building. In addition to other machineey, they have added a new engine, manufac- tured by Inn R. Bell, of the Seaforth foundry, while Messrs. 8. Mullett & Com- pany have juet, completed the work of plac- ing a new iron covering on the mill and en- gine room, which has very materially im- proved their appearance. They are -both practical men who aeem to thoroughly un- deratand their bueiness, and have now everything in first-class shape to do a large trade. They have already expended a large amount of money in these repairs and im- provements, and we hope their enterprise will be amply rewarded. • C0a1PLEMENTS FOR THE BAND. —COM - plementing on the recent visit of our band to Goderich, the papers of that town pay the boys some well deeerved complements. The Signal says : " The combined Har- riston and Pelmerston braes bands accom- panied the party, so that the town had abundanne of music during the day. In the afternoon noth bands played in the harbor park, where a large crowd, including many townspeople, gathered in expectation of the musical treat. The players from Herriston and Palmerston rendered excellent music, and deserve warm thanks for their services during the day, but it is no disparagement of their performances to say a few° words speeially of the splendid band which owns Seaforth as its home. This is one of the most efficient organizations in Ontario, as was ahown by its capturing the first prize at the recent band tournament at St. Marys. Its seleetione and its manner of rendering them delighted our townspeople, who hope to have other opportunities df hearing it." The Star says " The Huron UR N EXPO ITOR _ ""1 , attalion band formed up on the Square, and gave a mu ioal programme that delight- ed the twelve r thirteen hundred who lis- tenen to it. 0 course one expects good military music from a military band, and on this occasion o e's expectations were fully realised, for th martial airs and the melee - Mono were the weeteat we have heard sinee Godfrey's men ()coupled the West street rink. Among he numbers were some I in- cluded in Godf esde list, and we are forced to admit that he Seaforth musicians are good imitii,tors of the old guardsman's style."
