(By H. I. G.)
On Saturday John 'Snider, an es-
teemed resident, completed fifty years
in business in Brumfield. Born in
Hessedramstad, Germany-, in 1867, he
came to Canada with his parents
when about two years of age, arriv-
ing lir New York after a voyage of
six weeks. TheY went to Zurich
where his mather's stater lived, and
then to Libson, near Wellesley.
After the death of his father, when
be was nine years of age, they
moved to 'Stanley, where Mr. Staler
attended the late George Baird's
.sehool on the second concession ef
Stanley'. They returned. later to Zur-
ich, where he learned the trade of
harneseenakiag with Herman Wells,
with whombe remained for three
years, working ten hours a day and
two hours after supper.. Mr. Snider
received $100 for the three years' ser-
vices..
At the end of that period he watch-
ed -ale advertisements in the paper
and got a •lob with E. E. Gulledge, in
Oakville. After working there a year
and four months he came to Bruce -
geld on August 20, 1888, and started
business in the harnessshop which
he purchased from Frank O'Neil, and
has carried on there continuously for
half a century, in recent years add-
ing shoes to his stock in trade.
Mr. Snider was the arst person in
this part of the country to have a
bicycle. He bought it from M. R.
Counter in Seaforth for $85. After
that he sold wheels and- in 1893 dis-
eased of fifty wheels in Brucefield. It
was nothing unusual to ride to Lon-
don and back in a day. Football and
bicycle racing were the main sports
of that, time.
School pupils will have nearly',
an extra week of holidays this '
year as ,a result of the Depart-
ment of Education ruling that
schools will not reopen until the
Tuesday following Labor'. Day.
Alterations and improvements are
now being rushed to completion

but on Friday the Militia pushed their
way to the top by a 29-19 win.
Contlitiane, Mr. Snider recalls, were
altogether different fifty years ago—
nothing but horses and buggies. He
sold a let of earnests and buggies.
.Trade was busiest about the 24th of
May and the lst of July, when the
young men wanted to take their' girls
out. Now he doesn't sell any. Two
botels were going at full blast, where

one could get a meal for 25, cents
and six glasses of liquor for 5 Cents.
Tbere were five general stores and a
pork Tracking business carried on by
W. Scott, when dressed hogs sold at

and short green wood sold for $15

en and could keep up, with the reaper
when binding sheaves.
About ten yeara ago a picnic was
being held in Bayfield and Mr. Snider,
who has always been interested in
eport, happened to be at the lake on
the same day and was standing
watching a kicking contest. Some of
the young fellows said they bad plac-
ed the mark too high. Mr. Snider
said, "You surely could kick that!" A
young man replied "Well, you try

years of age, won the prize, which
was an order for $2 worth of goods

Goals are' to taunt on the round.
A bumper orovrd, was on hand to
wade tore first, of the finis and was
treated to -a fast, clean.gine of. foot-
ball. Both teams were remarkably
evenly matched, and there is hardly
three goals difference between them.
Brussels led 1-0 at the half -way mark
and the final two' goals Were pumped
in during the last dm minutes of the
final stanza.
• Clifford, Riley, between tam uprights
for the locals, played a.. major part
in Brussels shutout victory. In the
second halfo when the greenrsweater-
ed St. Columban' boys lanncb.ed a ter-
rific offensive against the local goal,
Riley saved on three slots that had
goal labelled: all over amine His Play
all through the game was sensational.
Lewis -Russell banged -home two •of
,the local goals on passes from Baker
and Dave Miller, respeetively, and
playing manager Harry Bowler scored
the other one on a neat pass from
"Dice" Baker.. Jack Holland and big
Frank Williams played stellar foot-
ball for -the visitors.
St. Oolumban dominated the play

game and Freak Stapleton and Joe
:itz.lv•er missed nice sooting chances
after working the ball ii close to the
Brussels net. Joe 'McIver, chirstening
a netw pair of slams, missed a minute
or two later, when he kicked the ball
across the face of the goal after be-
ing in the clear, and Riley made a

from close in. ,
The Brass -els boys soon' got into
stride and play evened up onasider-
ably, with Lewis Russell hoofing home
the first goal of the game on a lovely
pass from "Dice" Baker. Joe O'Con-
nor, in the St. Columban goal, had
to be smart a few minutes later to
-save on Pearsall's smart play in front'
of the upnights, and just before the
period ended Norm McQuaid blew a
perfect chance to put St Columban
on even terms with Brussels. Taking
a perfect pass directly in front of the
goal from Frank Williams, he booted
tee belleover the bee
O'Connor had to hustle again to
save early in the second half ehen
Esker almost headed one in. A scram-
ble followed in front of the uprights
but St. Columbah boated the ball out
of the danger zone before any dam-
age was done. With the last period
10 minutes old, the visitors staged
their strongest offensive of the. even-
ing and play was almost entirely
around the Brussels net for a time.
Riley had to rise to sensational
heights to save on some of the shots
that came at him. Moylan, Williams,
Metier, Stapleton and Norm McQuaid
all had "sihots and them of these had
goals labelled all over them. Riley saw
as much leather in that few minutes
as he had seen nearly all season up
to then.
Pressure was finally relieved around
the Brussels goal and Lewis Russell
missed a nice scoring chance when he
booted over the St. Columban bar.
Menagea Harry Bowler put his team
two up when he made no mistake by
converting a 'nice pass from Baker
from 20 feet out. O'Connor had no
chance to save. Baker and Russell
carne close again, and with only three
minutes to go, Russell 'made the
score read 3-0 for the locals by boot-
ing in Dave Miller's pase.

Croe-n, Land Grants in the Niagat•a
Peninsula for themselves and their
wives. Other brothers settled in
parts of Ontario considerably distant
to the Niagara Peninsula.
Descendants of at least three of
these early settlers have been born
within a radius of fifty miles of Ham-
ilton, the majority of whom coati -nee
