The first of July 1891 was joyous- ly kept by our people in spite of the bad precept and example of the Dominion Parliament in sittingand wasting their time in needless haranguing on this statutory as well as patriotic holiday, without doing any real business. Young Canada took a haud in celebrating the day this year. It was through the efforts of the enter- prising young men of our town that Clinton was provided with as in- nocent and entertaining a day's amusement as oould be desired. Without being invidious inseleotiug those foremost in this) laudable endeavour to honor "the day we celebrate", a large measure of credit is due Messrs M. MoTaggart, J. P. Doherty and A. T. Cooper in this connegtion. It was pre-eminently a localaffair, though some outside contestants iu the games and visitors wore present. The amusements, consisted of La- crosse, Baseball, Cricket, Shooting Contest, Foot races and Jumping,and Football by electric light. The slight showers of the prev- ious night had cooled the heavens above and tie earth beneath eo that the many hundreds of visitors to the Agricultural Park enjoyed their outing inside the grounds to the fullest extent. About 11 a. m. proceedings com- menced with an enlivening lacrosse contest between the Dauntless club of Clinton and the Alerts of St. Mary's. The game was a decidedly spirited one and it was through no lack of vigor and skill that the Alerts were vanquished in 4 to 1 by the Daunt- less. Baseball started at 1 p. 'm. by the Mitchell and St. Helen's clubs playing, the latter winning by 11 to 10 runs. St. Helen's then played the Clinton Club and again won by a score of 16 to 10. St. Helen's is thus the proud possessor of a handsome $25 silver cup. All three clubs "played ball" in the most strict in- terpretation of the term, and the van- quished teams exhibited no gall as the visitorsboreaway the well-earned trophy. Cricket was next engaged in be- tween Mitchell and Clinton clubs. The Clintons making some marvelous scores in running up to 117. Mit- chell made 35 and 40 runs respective- ly, in their first and second innings Clinton thus won the ahampionshi of Western !Ontario by one innin and 37 runs. p g One of the most interesting events of the day was the Gun Club tourna- ment between Goderich, Seaforth, Exeter and Clinton teams. Exeter made 48, Seaforth, 53, Goderich 58, Clinton 63. •This entitles Clinton to the first silver cup, value $15 and Goderich the second silver cup, yalue $12. The beat individual shoot- ing was made by George Hinchley, of the Clintons, who made 17 out of a possible 18, for which he was awarded a prize medal, value $10. J. Mc- Murray made 16.
