There was a large crowd at the harbor on Friday evening watching for the tugs Oreadia and Sea King, the storm having caused some ap- prehension as to their location.

Shortly after the Orcadia ap- proached and her entry was but a repetitian of that of the King.. Al- though all present expected the staunch tugs would be brought in safely by their able commanders, Jas. °Inkster and Jno.

Suffice it to say the whole is false. The writer is very unfair in his cornperison of the teams. 1-1e should remove the faults ot the Clinton players before he talks about the Goderich players. 1 'recommend him to read the story of the "Mote and the Beam," and if he has not got a copy of the Book this story is in we will sena him one. I cannot, however, let the charge that "when the "Dauntless Cluo were (haying from town they were • stoned by some of the Hurons and their backers", go past. The charge is untrue. enquired into it. I have the evidence of Constable Yule who saw the whole thing. Ile tells nua what took place was es follows the Ciititod boys drove off a few Baikal boys picked tip stones, one or two were thrown. Ile warned them to desist and that stopped it At ODCe. Not a solitary member of the team, nor one.of its backers or friends were guilty of the act of folly. Small as the actual incident was I deplore it. I am ashamed for the town that we even have small boys in our midst who can be guilty of such conduct. But one cannot always control the small boys. You will find if you investigate all the different charges against our Club that the actual 'occurrence as against the charge made is as wide apert as the atone throwing. Now, whilst I am writing, let me ask you to allow me to say some, thing about the unfortunate feeling that exists between the two clubs. There are always two sides to a story. We claim that your town is wholly to blame for the feeling and we wonder what it is all for. It has been going on for years. On every occasion during years past that a Goderich team has gone to Clinton to play they havei been suhrected to dis- courtesy and annoyance. Hooted at on the streets, jostled off the sides walks,insulted by unkind reinarks on the field, and, on one occasion, some four or fivesyears ago, they were stonedout of die town with a ston- ing that came so thick and fast that the boys lay down in the bottom of the rig to escape being hit, and even then (lid not rush into print with abuse. They did not hold your team responsible ; they took it as corning from a rough element whose ignorance was more pronounced than their good manners. This feeling came out very strongly on the 18th August last when our team went down to Clinton to play. I was not their president last, year, but went doqii to see the gatne. It was very evident that the si'hole town was up in arms, and the 'general feeling against our Club given to me by a lady resident of Clinton whom I met before the match. She told me she was not going to see the game, threats were being freely made against the Goderich boys if they von. Well, you know the result of the game ; Clinton won, the game was protested and the Clinton' club forfeited it membership in the C. L. A. Tor unprofessional conduct --truly nothing for Clinton to be proud about. Concluding, let me say, I regret taking up so much of your space but the attack on our club was too gross to pass over ; and I trust you will do us thejustice of retracting it. Goderich, July 9. R.

DEAR Sta.—Referring to the las crease match played in this town on the first of July between the Clinton and Goderich clubs, you have seen fit to open your columns to a d's- gracefully unfair article reflecting upon our club and our town. I therefore request that you will do us the justice of giving us space for a reply. I deal first with your editorial. 1 consider you are personally rearm - Bible for it, and, as the information upon which you base your deductions is incorrest, you owe us an apology, and I am sure you will retract yonr statements when I show you how unjust your renearks are :-- Apart (rem the statement that the Clinton Club won the gatne, there is not a word of your editorial true - not a word—you make grave charges and say, "if our information is cor- rect" and again, "it is reported" Would it not have been better, Sir, if you had; been quite sure Of your ground before backing up falsehoods with the weight of your Editorial pen ? Turning to the account of the Match published in the same issue as the above named Editorial, [have not the slightest hesitation in saying that it is a wilfully exaggerated account, and indeed for the most part wilfully and maliciously false. It is an an, deniable fact that there is a strained feeling, to put it micldly, between the two teams. Well, in spite of all that had pass - we started this season without any hard feeling against your club. We showed our friendliness by in- structing our delegates to vote for Mr. Spading as a member of the Council of the C. L. A. We further showed our confidence in your club by ac cepting Dr. Shaw as refereeln Clin- ton, the•conditions. being that Mr. Prihani was to act here, and your club broke faith with us and refused to -carry out their agreement. An- other point I want to touch upon is the bringing in of outsiders to strengthen a team. I know it can be done without violating the rules, but the principle is btel all the same, hope to see the C. L. A. rules amended in this respect. Our own club has had the assistance of out- siders, but it is an element I object to and we rid ourselves of it and the team that met your club on the 1st Were all Goderich boys, five of whom played in their first match on that day. On the other hand your club was strengthened by outsiders, and had it not been for the playing ot the goalkeeper—and James at point— both of them Brussels men- the game, I am satisfied, would have had a his manuscript, in order to have it different ending. There was not published where it would "have a much glory in the Clinton win after wider circulation." We have con - all.

Port Albert The storm of Friday last did a lot of damage to crops in this locality. The apple crop suffered to a large extent. Garden stuff, corn, etc., was brdly. twisted about. It was the severest blizzard of the season. On their way back from Goderich after delivering a load of fish to Clerk Co., Neil Nelson and Will Stnale's boat was upset abut two miles out in the lake, opposite Wright's Point, in the storm. They had a narrow escape from a watery grave. Both parties clung to the boat for four long hours, in the very midst of the gale, until the boat struck the beach near the "clay banks," two miles north of Goderich. 'Tis pretty hard to drown a Swede, anyway, and as for Smale, another water dog, he don't seem troubled about getting his gills full of sand. During the same gale the yacht Myrtle of this place, bound for the county town, was driven ashore on the rocks one mile north' of the Goderich piers and *as com• pletely smashed to pieces. Captain u'Connor had a narrow escape. In last week's issue of THE Newss lot •c.
