The unqualified success of the meet last year has encouraged the aster tion to attempt even greater things t is year, so that the Seaforth rftee• will un- doubtedly be the best held on the Canadian circuit this season. The track was last year pronounced by the horsemen present to be the finest half mile track in the Province and this coupled with the fact that $1,800 is being offered, will ensure a large number of the fastest horses. You should make a note .of the dates and arrange matters so you can be in Seaforth on pne or both days of the races. • MR. Wira-on's CASE. -In the egg pickling case of Mr. D. D. Wilson, of this town, to which we referred last week, the evidence was all taken and the arguments of counsel concluded and the judge reserved decision. In our. paragraph last week wersar said : 1,` It seems that Mr. Wilson hasihad for many years a par- ticular process for pickling eggs. Some time ago he found that his process had, in some way, got out, and was being used by other dealers. He then got it patented in Canada, the United States and other coun- tries." In this we were in error. The par. ticular process patented had not been per- fected nor used until the patent was applied for, although Mr. Wilson had been experi- menting on it for some years. • • MARRIED IN MANITOBA. -On Tuesday, June 4th, Mr. William C.

J. Anderson Coulter, son o Mrs. Coulter, of this town, has been ap pointed president and general manager o the new oompany. Mr. Coulter has held responsible position with the former corn. pany for many years, and the fact that h has been selected as the chief officer of th new company is a gratifying proof of hi efficiency and business capahility. We con- gratulate our young friend on his deserved preferment and predict increased success to this old and prosperous establishment under his management. Mr. Coulter is another Of Huron's eons who is doing credit to his old home. CONFERENCE PRESIDENT. -Rev. James Livingstone, of Windsor was, last week, elected president of London Conference of the Meth,odist church. Mr. Livingstone, when a young man, was pastor of Kippen circuit, and before going to , Windsor was, for a term, pastor of the Rattenberry street church, Clinton. Rev. Mr. Russell, who hae been pastor of the Seaforth Methodist chnrch for the past three years, received the -second largest vote for the presidencY. Al- though Mr. Russell's mimerous, friends here would have been greatly pleaaed had he been the successful candidate, the new presi- dent has numerous old friends in the county who will unit e with THE EXPOSITOR in con- gratulatione on his preferment for:one of the highest positions in the gift of his Church. • FooTeara...-The Hurons played their first game in the Waiter's Association aeries in Brussels, on Friday evening last, with the team of that town, coming nut victor- ious by a score of 7 goals to 2. This id the first year for Brussels in senior company, and although they have a good team they are not able to cope with. old Warriors like the Hurons. The •return match will be played on the recreation groends bore this (Friday) evening, when a good game may be looked for, as the Brussels boys do not in- tend to let one defeat give them a set back. The winners of the la,rgest number of goals in this series will have to play home and home games with the winners' of the eastern section which will likely be either Berlin or Galt. 'The Hurons will,undoubtedlY be the winners in this district, so watch out for some good games yet, and for the champion- ship rag, which will be flying over the Hurons' camp at the ()foie of the season.
