The football team has three points
in their race for group honors. They
defeated Bayfield 3-2, tied Kippen 0-0
and lost to Kippen 1-0. As the Sea -
forth eleven is composed of a young
bunch of players too much is not ex-
pected of them If they can hold
their own this year they will have
gained somethiug. The Athletic As-
sociation is trying to build , up a
team that will be able to carry on
next year and put up a fight for the
championship. They will, however,
'endeavour to get a play-off berth this
year and might even be a strong
contender for the Cup. The games
they have played were keenly con-
tested and the locals showed plenty
of energy and speed, but lacked a lit.
tle teamwork. A few more games
will round them into a smooth work-
ing team.. •

The Membership Committees are
now canvassing for memberships in

I am informed that their .early en-

everybody, seemingly just waiting
the opportunity to join. I trust that
all those approached will join and
help the good work along, also at-
tend the games and support the boys.
A good crowd is most encouraging to
the players,
'It 'has been observed that during
the games already played, a number
of persons from both the country and
town elim'bed over the fence at points
that were not cowered by the ticket
collectors; others were observed
standing or sitting in their bars look-
ing at the game from outside the
field. I would point out to these per-
sons who are viewing the game and
not paying any admission, that these
games are not free and admission is
charged and payable at the gate, and
1•: appeal to the instincts of sports-
manship in these persons to be fair
and pay admission and see the games
from the inside. It costs money to
run these !games and consequently
people watching the games without
paying admission are not being fair
either to the players or the town.—

Preparing For Reunion
The different committees conneett.
ed with the Board of Commerce are
busily engaged in perfecting plans
and arrangements for the coming Old
Boys' Reunion, to be held the last
day of this month and the first three
days of July, and are endeavoring to
do all they can to make it most suc-
cessful and very- attractive.
If the village council and Chamber
Board of Commerce work Well to-
gether, it will help to perfect plans
for the coming Old • Boys' Reunion,
which will be in about three weeks'
time.
The providing of a wide and safe
roadbed between the Main street and
the park will be •a right step in the
right way, and will greatly expedite
the coming in and going out of the
large crowds that will throng, both
in the day time and night hours.
The decorating of the streets and
park will give the village a holiday
and fascinating appearance and her-
ald the coming of the Old Boys' Re-
union, and the committees appointed
to do it. intend measuring well up to
the duties and responsibilities assign-
ed them.
