During the second half time, the Kip - pen forward did some strong playing, and succeeded in scoring one goal, the match thus resulting in a victory for the home team. This is the second contest these teams have had, the for- mer one resulting in a tie.

Are the gentlemen of this place and vicini- ty aware that the very latest in Seaside Shirts with Ties forwards, they, by a" iire piece of com- bination, worked the,ball down on the Clear Grits' goal, and scored the first game in ten minutes. Play was re- sumed with vigor, but after a long struggle half time was called, without either side scoring. In the second half the eavers kept the ball well on their opponents' goal, and it was seen that the Beavers were more than a match for them in checking running and combination, which hitter the Clear Grits lacked entirely, although they played a good individual game. After about twenty minutes play in this half the Beavers again scored, thus winning the game by a score of 2 to 0. Among those who distinguished themselves for the Clear Grits, might be mentioned Russell and Clegg, of Belgrave, and Scott, of Brucefiercl. For the Beavers not one is to be praised above another, for, without an exception, every man played a,good game, endplayed to win, and had the ground been other than a hayfield, they might have succeeded in addingto the score. Mr T. Calbick was umpire for the Beaver, while Mr McRoberts acted in that capacity for the Clear Grits. NOTES. -Mr Fred Elford, of Guelph, returned home for his vacation, on Thursday of last week.

Mr Holmes was born at Blyth, in 1864. He was edu- cated at Clinton High School and To- ronto University, and graduated four years egoe:this • month, with the gold medal in modern languages. He was a hard worker, whether at study or at his profession. mi Hohnes had politi- cal ambition, and, though a little over 25 years of age, when the last Provin- cial campaign was in progress he went into the fight and got nomination for South Huron as an EquarRi candidate. He was beaten by r A. Bishop, the old Liberal member, but had the satisfaction of pulling (low n that gentleman's majority somewhat. The name of the deceased was pro- minently mentioned, too, in connect tion with the vacancy that was recent- ly made in the Ontario Legislature by the death of Mr EL E. Clarke, and there is no doubt that had he lived but a few years he would have acquired political honors and probab ly political distinction. to huesself for more full particulars. -Tlae letter is well written, and will no doubt be of much value to the town.
