How ABOUT SOCIETIES' DAY ?—
There are a good number of societies
in Clinton. 'I'JIE NEWS -RECORD would
suggest the uniting of them and setting
a day and decorating or improving the
appearance of the graves of departeet
brothern. The Mayor no doubt, if a
properly signed requisition was pre•
sorted, would proclaim say a half -holi-
day. The idea, if put into effect, is
praiseworthy and would recall to mind
many honored citizens who have passed
to the great beyond.

2421` MAY CELERRATION,—The day being
fine the attennance was large. The Auburn
Brass Band was pre;ent and aupplied plenty
of excellent music. The track was in the
beat of order, the races were all filled except
the throe ,year old trot. There being a
alight mistake in the printing of the bills
the wads "or pace" were omitted ; this we
understand was the reason of the three year
old race not being filled. The Clay passed off
very orderly and a was decided success, the

piano, were well received, being heartily
encored each time they made their appear-

music which was well received. Mr, S. E.
Anderson filled the chair remarkably well,

audience would benefit by. All went away
satisfied that theif money was well spent.
