Dear •Siri-eHaving read eome time
ago a very Mteresting aceount of
Con"federation Day in Goderich, sup-
posed to have been written by Sergti
Stobie, of No. 3 Company, 33rd Huron
Battalion, who with his ueual Modesty
withheld his name, I would like to
let you know some of the doings of
No.? Company, ilf which I then was
a member. I would like to jet you
know that we had, a real battle- no
sham about it, I will. trv to describe
it later, Our officer e were Captain,
Wm. Sheppard, Lieut. John McDon-
ald, Faisign Robert Russell, with head-
quarters at Porter's Hill. I will now
give you a few of the names of mem-
bers which I remember: Pte. Williana

bosom pf our leroad lake. We were
put thr agh Mir facings by Col. Ross
Iand .othet notables. We were then
marched to the John Donough Hotel
en We, street, where we Were billeted -
for dinner, and it was here that the
battle began and ended.: There was
a young tar off the gunboat that lay
in the harbor, that made some,insult-
ing reirk about the soldiers. Fight-
ing Jack Splan (as he was then call-
ed) couldn't stand this and challenged
him out to mortal combat. The first
blow was the first and last for him as
the sailor went down and out in a
minute. At this sto.ge there happen-
ed to be present a Ifalf-breed Indian
namedjeck McGregor) Who for years
had been a terror to all, mariners on
the Great Lakes; as. in a rough and
tumble fight he had no equal, so he
challenged Splan. Round 1—He rush-
ed in, clinched Splan and threw him
eavily against an old. stair, that led
ti the upper regions), almost breaking
his back. But after giving hint a
small drop of the "0 -he -joyful", he
revived. Round 2L -With Spiels rain-
ing rights and lefts to his body and
face the half-breed began to realize
that the tide of battle was turning. a-
gainst him e,nd niade one desperate
effortta finish Splan: and the battle at
once. He then picked up a matble
slab that lay on the bar, which proved
to :be„his- undoing, AS he Left his,
'guard open, Splan got in his deadly
left on the vital spot and down went
McGregor in a heap. He was picked
up by Splan and carried to his corner
wheae he was speedily counted out. He
was then heard to feebly exclaim:
"That is -the first time Jack McGregor
ever was licked!” .
