By aft agreement between the parties, the case was post-poned until next court, and it will likely, be settleefore that time. The Horse Industry.—The Ontario Department of Agriculture have ap- pointed, a commission i01 experts to investigate and re.port an the horse Industry of the Province. These corn- mission.ers will visit several centres throughout the Province, and will meet with parties convergent with the horse industry and in this way glean as, mach information as they think will- be of public use. As Ito the modus operandi to be pursued at these, meetings we_are not posted, but that will likely be made' known in aortae Way in due time. It would be well, hovvevert for all interested in the horse industry to wait on the Com- missioners at the different points where they may in, with the view of giving them as much information as possible.. The following are the places of meeting and the dates as well as the 'names of the Com- , missioners for this county and for the neighboring county of Perth: Huron County — Public meeting era, arid M. 'Y. McLean. The evening' was a -*very pleasant one, and oaef be etery way worthy of the occasion. The followiag are the names of the players to whom lockets were pre- sented: Gordon McDonald, Horace Chettle, -W. B. McLean, Ernie Mur- ray, Charlesy lteetard. A. McKenzie e W. Munroe, rank Sills, Charles Sills, R.Peck, Cha .Stewart, Maurice Shea, Chas. McKinnon and H. W. Cresswell. The three last named did not partici- pate in the match wtth the !Corinth- ians, but were members of the (regu- lar team, and took part in several of the league matches. The lockets are of gold, neat and pretty, and suitably inscribed. —In this connection, what Mr. More gan-Owen, one of the Corinthians, in a letter to one of the •thome papers, says of Seaforth and the game here, will be interesting. He writes: " A ( shoe' journey of three and a (half hour, on the eeening of August 21, brought us to Seaforth, where we were next to play. The latter is the centre of an agriculturaldistrichwith eornething under 3,000 inhabitants. It was here that the even tenour a our way was first somewhat interruptach as when we arrived, after a somewhat perilous ride in the dark in a 'buggy,' at our hotel, where we were told that we should have to 'double up,' as there were not sufficient rooms for all. However, by sending a detachment to a neighboring hotel, and with the help of couhhes, we managed to pass 'a comfortable night, though it took us some tirne Ito 're' - cover our luggage fromthe station, which had, immediately the train ar- rived, been shut up. The next morn- ing a game of bowls peeceded the foot ball _match in the afternoon. Wee aad all Along been troubled with the beat, but at Seaforth it reached a 'cli- max, and the match was played avith the heat 94 degrees in the shade. Our teane—Rowlandson, Page, May, Craig, Morgan Owen, :Willett, Vas - sail, Foster, Harris, Core:onus and Wright—met with opponents who were demons for energy and pluck, who had been training hard and looking forward to the match for a long time, who had a good !reputat- ion behind them, and it was only after a very bard fight that the match resulted in a draw (1-1).
