We have since learned that it was not the purloiner who had his hand burned but a friend who kindly assisted him to smother the burning.,phosphorus. We • gladly make the correction as it is both cruel and unjust to make such a false representation. LACROSSE. -SO much interest was taken in the championship match played here between between Stratford and Seaforth on Friday last that places of business were clued and factories and milisshit down from 4 to 6 o'clock to give everyone an •pportunity to witness what was al4ered would be the game of the season, Th„e Stratford players brought 130 of thpir friends along and found the , grounds all they colild desire. • The spectators were kept off the field by ropesstretched -from fence to fence in front of the grandstand and order was preserved without much difficulty by eight or nine special constables. The grand stand was filled with the ladies of. -the town and vicinity, s while men and -- boys elbowed each other trying to ob-:- Jain the mod favorable situations be- hind the ropes for viewing-- the game. In all there must have been, some 1500 spectators, - and rarely have spectators shown so much interest in a lacrosse match. Sharp on time Referee Mackay, of Woodstock, called both teams to, places. The following composed the Seaforth toad :----Freeinati, goal; • - point; Aird, cover -point; Neil, 3rd de- fence, field; McDougall, 2nd defence field; MoCosh, let defence field ;-'W. Mackay, contra; Jackson, let home field; Whitelaw, 2nd home field; Dow- ling; 3rd home field a' Mackay, Out- side home; Meredith, inside home. At the face off the ball travelled a short distance towards Seaforth goal, but was soon sent up on Stratford goal, where it was taken in hand bythe Seaforth home, and by quick playing and•pitating i succeeded in keeping Stratford n hot water for some time, and at last ItioCbsh • dropped the ball about 6 inches or more - -below- the flags. It was plain taxi' that Seaforth had iwored a goal, yet the um-' pire was determined not to allow it • although he first indicated a goal by rais- ing his hand and then went back on it. • The weak point of the Seaforth team • seemed to be not in the players, but in the fieldamptain, and this was notice. - able all through the game. However, play WM not stopped, and the ball travel! Ied to the other goal, through which it passed after half an hour's play. (Stratford spectators joyous!) On changing goals both teanis settled down to hard work,. , and play was pretty even, with, &rat- _ ford more on the defensive until White- . law,.securing the ball, made a skilful pus and smored. (Seoforth people ex- • uberant I!): , The ball then travelled from end to end, the principal tossers being Smfth, Mrd and McDougall, while Freeman, occasionally lasting. goal, secured the sphere and sent it with ene of his long throws to the opposite vial, Miller, Neil, and MoCittcheon do - mg the act for Stratford. Stratford made a determined attack, on Seaforth goal when Smith seized • the rubber, passed two players'made a „neat rim to the other end of the field and threw an overhand shot on goal which would have scored only for MoCittcheon. The field was weakened in this game by the - absence of Neil and Cassels, who had been sent to the fence by the referoe for showing an inclination to "drop sticks." McCutcheon and Miller of Strat- ford team bunched in front of their goal and Seaforth home found an impregnable defence as shot after shot was stopped justin the nick of time. Stratford now scored, making the game 2 to -1 in favor of 8tratford.: (Stratford people hilar- ious ! ! U Seaforth people not at all de- spondent.) The referee called time and again the ball was frequently sent from goal to goal while W. Mackay, MoCosh and Jackson kept feeding the ball to the home players. who were putting up a splendid game. Just as McCosh was emerging from -a scuffle carrying off the ball and checked by two opponents he stumbled, but retained the ball, and while lying flat on his- back with lacrosse in one hand hurled it towards the Stratford goal, eliciting rounds of applause for his plucky play. It was _ during this game that • 'Cap" sent in what he terms If" cam* balls," but Neil would not silo* him to score and ,kept out soma fine shots. While dodging, Whitelaw stumbled and sprained hie knee ,which he had injured in the earl* part of the game and was compelled to retire to goal: changing places with Freeman, who' soon proved if he is a good goal -keeper that he can play an equally good home game, and .securing the ball in front of the goal ,scored the 4th game for Seaforth, making the score 2 to 2. • (Seaforth people gay& vent to feelings by long continued cheering 11 i ) Only two minutes of time remained, and as neither side scored the referee ordered play to go on for 20 minutes, the match tO be awarded to firseside scoring. . The play Wall now altogether- on the:Strat- ford goal, and Seaforth players appeared fresher than their opponents. • After same close shots on goal Watson secured the rubber, inide a ,run downs field and sent the ball high, but the umpire de- clared it a goal for Stratford mil& to the dissatisfaction of all who Saw it. However, the match was given teStrat- ford, although we are satisfied that Sea - forth not only played a better game throughout, but won by at least 3 goals' to 2, for had the first goal been allowed it would not have been necessary to play more than the two and a half :hours. We understand that the .Secretary, W. Mackay, has drafted andtfiled a protest with the President and Secretary ,of the Canadian Lacrosse sAssociation, and a thorough investigation of all the„facts will,no doubt, be made. The • rank umpiring conduced not a little to the Seaforth toAM losing the motoh, which, to soy the least, was most, unfortimiito, as it was oonecided by most of those present thot' the Beavers put up .the finest A114'0111141- game, and , deemed better hulk, - • A SWE.ffJ3ii1,01i7a iva Imo ommenerool .Psekink we will lief8 Nausea snit Wag toal Pepsis?

Barley is a bountiful crop; wheat also, although a little rusted in some places, will yield well,,and be a good sample, while oats are simply immenNe. Apples, which are, so scarce in many parte, will give a fair yield along the Lake Shore, and for two or three 40A0011i0128 east.

Just now haying is general, and on the average a good crop is being saved is first rate order. Fall wheat is fast ripening, and before this paragreph appears in print, the binder will be at - work in many fields. A heavy yield of this „important cereal is confidently looked for, and indoedisahnostassured. More or less damage has bent done - by rust, especially in late sown fields, but the bulk of the crop is now beyond serious injury from this -cause. Spring groins are all -promising extremely well. Oats and peas especially, are making a, great show, and some extraordinary returns are expected if present appear- ances be not belied. 'A,,wt crop are growing nicely. Thelily-p.-1 the oint- ment this year is the fruit env which in this section is a blank, total failure. Judging from reports of farmersand from personal observation, it would be hard work to find a wagon load of ap- ples in the townships of Turnberryaand Howick combined, where last year thousands of bushels were fed to cattle and pigs, or allowed to 1.0t upon the ground. . Plume, pears and cherries are equally scarce. Onth. whole, how- ever, this promises to be a fariner's' year, and if prices be good there .Will be lighter hearts and heavier pockets in our community than for a number fxr plumpest.
