Couuxonotr.-In the Perth items in
our last issue a paragraph appeared,
which we clipped from the Stratford
Beacon, to the effect that a pupil of the
Stratford Collegiate Institute purloined
• a pieoe of phosphorus which ignited in
his pocket, and in extinguishing the
1 anus his hand was severely burned.
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

Pernik Me ideas, ii word Or two t you
with reference to your late • match with
the Stratford Club. You have Ian fit
to abuse and-villify me because it fell to
my lot to render a decision in the first
game, which was adverse to you, and
have evenrne so far as to Impute dis-
honest motives to me.- I know' these
!stupid charges have, emanated; only
trim one or two of your menibers. I do

I do not intend to notice the dirges,

of spirit as lads of manliness. You have
for years past been a very, successful
club, and have been well supported by•
your citizens. You ought to know by
this time that the fortunes of war can-
notadways be with you, anclawhen a
temporary de eat cornea you ought to
meet it like men, and not lay the blame
upon an individual who did nothing. but
his honest duty* My advice to you is,
accept in a better spirit what inevit-
ably was,. and' buckle to and try win.
Now, a word or two as to the decision
in question. Most of you, know me well

who do not I desire to say that it was al

said so, and that is what all this is
about. I was in a proper position to see
the ball. I want to may to you further
that you all know my love for the game,
and know also how I have always en-
couraged it. I went down .to Seaforth
on Friday simply to gratify My desire
of witnessing a game of lacrosse. . I had.
no interest in your game further ..than
this. I had no strong sympathy, either
way. I had no wager on the result, and
I may as well tell you that betting i$,
againstmy principles, and I never bet
npon a lacrosse Match or any other game
in my life. I had not intended taking
any part in your game. I never expect-
ed to be asked, and when Mr. Coleman .
and Mr. Giffin, whom I found waiting
at the station for me begged me 46 act
as umpire; I declined, but they pressed
'ane, and finally' Mr. McKay, the referee'
begged me to accept the position at the
two clubs could not agree on anyone
else. Then I consented,.but with reluc-
tance, for I know what a thanklustask
it is, and I took- my place behind, the
flags knowing that I would do my duty,
and feeling that I had the confidenee of,
both clubs, and the result is • abuse and •
false chirps, coupled with some pretty
strong language from at least one or two
of your members. Well, I wish no
quarrel with .:youitI am a man of
.13eace. I have made my -statement; and
it will.not affect me in the least if you
should not accept it. I bear no malice.

be making a success of the breeding of
Shropshiredown sheep. LW week he
mold eleven Mei and rams,most of them
lambs, to an American, who purchased
them for breeding purposes,and realized
very satisfactory prices. He still has a
number of excellent young sheep of this
breed for which he has refused as high
as $25 each. Its his flock he has a ewe
which is yet young, and from which in
• two years he has made the snugsum of
$76. This pays better than riming fall
wheat, even at 40 bushels per acre. Mr.
Punkin has also sold to Mr. Johnston,
of Lakeview a very superior Me lamb.
THE HABXEST.-112 the western part
-of this township, towards the lake, har-
vest has been in full blast this week. A
good deal of the barley has been cut
and some of it housed, while fall wheat
harvest became general on Tuesday, and
before the close of next week moat of
thie grain will be in the stook, and a
good deal of it housed. 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

BaB fm. -On Thursday of last

9. Some of our players . did very bad
work, - while others did their beat to
win. Catcher Sanders Wee a perfect
failure, not being able to hold McLaugh-
lin, and to his bad 'playing the disparity
• of the scores may be largely attributed.
We can excuse Sanderson this time, as
we never saw him do so badly before.
Mr. James Hutchinson, B. A., of Ford-
wioh, umpired the game to the entire
satisfaction of both clitbe. Had he

ing of Mrs. W. M. Robhmon hilts Jean,

CitoP PRosrzors.---There is no time
of the year, even in winter, when the
depth or thinness of the snow may be
supposed to affect the fall wheat, when
in this agricultural community -the-
actual and prospective condition of the
crops is not a topic of real, live Interest.
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.
