Goderich, June, 1889. Wool Torreopoudenr. Goderieb. Rev. Dr. Ure, who lectureaTast Friday evening on his recent visit to the Motherland, was greeted with a good audience considering the tempestuous weather. The doctor made his discourse exceedingly in- teresting, his story of his travels through Scotland and England re- storing visibly in inany hearts the almost forgotten memories of child- hood. We imagine the lecture will cause many of our townspeople to visit the scenes across the Atlantic so ably depicted by the doctor. The Regular monthly meeting of the Public School Board was held on Monday evening. Present the chairman S. Malcomson and Messrs. Acheson, Ball, Chrystal, Crabb, Morton, Nicholson and Swanson. The minutes of previous meeting were read and confirmed. The Principal's report showing an aver- age attendance for the :month of ltlay of 30:1 boys and 287 girls was ieeeiNed and filed. ,hiss Williams applied for permission to attend the coining session of the Normal school. On motion, Miss Williams' request was granted. The secretary was in-' strutted to request the town council to set aside $4500 for the use of the Board for the present year. On ac- count of the next meeting night fall - ;ng on 1)ontinion hay, the next Meeting was ordered to he held on the last Friday in June. Several other matters having been discuss- ed and referred to the several com- mittees the Board adjourned.

There was. n largo attendance, large delegations front Carlow, Soaforth, Exeter, Clinton and Blyth lodges being present. The lecture showed the R. W. Bro. to be an active and earnest member of the craft, as its preparation aration necessitated the careful • perusal of hundreds of old menu- ?, scripts, a large number of lodge minute books, and an immense cor- respondence. Tho lecture was a vivid illustration of the lives of prominent Masons, living and dead, and the written acts of local and grand lodges. Bro. Robertson pre- sented tho matter in a manner that earned the thanks of all the breth- ren present. The address in ad- dition to purely Masonic incidents, necessarily introduced historical events, for during the past }hundred years, as in the year, of grace 1889, the Masonic freternity held posi- tions of trust, in our Legislative halls, and the legal and military professions. At the conclusion of the lecture a unanimous vote of thanks was tendered and`"happily replied to by Bro. Robertson. Mr. Robertson who arrived in town by the afternoon train, left by the early ono on Friday for .Toronto.

On Thursday afternoon a base ball match was the attraction, the Bankers and Lawyers again contest- ing for supremacy with the Mer- chants. The result was a big victory for the first named team. Tho mer- chants complain that the ground was so slippery that they could not stop or hold a ball, while their opponents could stand on slippery places and, hold with a firm grip every ball that came within reach.
