H & 1?1t0UT, Clinton plus RUN, --•The Bicycle boys turned
"R EQQS—HILL L
out in big force on Wednesday even-.
ing tor a run to Bayfield, leaving here
at 6.30, lead by Syd Smith, Of the
"Hello Central" who proved himself a
coming rider and gave the boys a hot
race,leading.them into Bayfield by 7.15,
when a most excellent fish supper was
awaiting the hungry crowd, prepared
by Mr Swarts of the "River hotel' and
the boys were not slow to appreciate'
the high quality of Mrs Swarts cusiue;
after an hour's rest in beautiful Bay-
field the boys were again marshalled in
line and a start made for home via
Brucelield, lead by alderman Jake
Taylor, who made the boys nearly
break the record or their wheels with
the fast pace he lead them, reaching
home a little after 11 p.m., the boys
voting the run the best of the
season, and next Wednesday evening
it ;is expected that a still larger turn
out will take in the same run.

—A recent number of the
entitle .American draws attention
a "watch pivot" the invention of
Mr John V. Coats, of Delhi, N. Y. Mr
Coats is a son of Mrs Coats, Clinton,
and we hope his invitation may prove
a profitable one.
ANONYMOUS LETTERS. — Reference
was last week made to the receipt of
an anonymous letter by the Chief of
Police, threatening the destruction of
a house in town, unless the inmates
moved out. The family in question
may not be all they should, but such a
method of getting rid of them is neith-
'er,prudent or legal, and the party who
had a hand in Writing the letter—and
he is known --did a rather imprudent
thing in writing the letter.
RUNAWAY. — On . Monday as Mr'
David Cook was driving along the
street, one of the tugs broke, causing
the horse to run away. He was
thrown out, but escaped unhurt; the
horse ran wildly down street and was
making an air line for Plumsteel &
Clibbiag's store, when fortunately the
waggon caught a telegraph pole, and
P, yAxtted -it going any further. A
rrel of sugar was thrown out of the
waggon and smashed, but very little
other damage was done.
SUDDEN DEATH—A telegram was re-
ceivedWednesday evening,stating that
Mr W.Cole, of Chattanogga, Tenn., was
dangerously ill with typhoidfever. and
relatives were arranging to go down
yesterday, when a telegram was re-
ceived at about ten o'clock the same
day, announcing Mr. Cole's death. He
was a native of Clinton, and for a long
time connected with the Salt Associa-
tion staff. He was an amiable young
man, and had only been in Tennessee
for a little over a year, during which
time' he had gained the confidence and
esteem of all he came in contact with.
IT WAS IMAGINATION.—In view of
the remarks made in the County
Council by the Reeve of Clinton on
the Equalization question, we would
suggest that that settlement be here-
after dubbed "The Hemlock City."
The Reeve said that, in comparison
with Seaforth, it was "an old hemlock
city," and he ought to know. County
papers please take note.—Seaforth
Expositor. [The reeve of Clinton was
endeavoring to secure a reduction in
the equalized assessment, and no doubt
allowed his fertile imagination a little
loose rein in his comparisons.]

youngest daughter; Carrie, was mar-
ried to Mr James Stoddart, of Chicago,
formerly 'of Goderich, by, Rev. Wm.
Smyth; they left at once for Goderich,
from which place they proceed to
Chicago.
KINDLY WORDS.—The Acton Free
Press of last week says:—In returning
from the Conference at Goderich last
week the editor of the Free Press stop-
ped over a few hours at Clinton and
enjoyed the hospitality' of Mayor
Holmes, of the Naw ERA, and his
family. Clinton is a town of much
beauty; is favored with several impor-
tant manufacturing industries—pro-
minent among which is the Doherty
Organ Works—and has more business
vim and enterprise among its mer-
cantile establishments than is gener-
ally manifest in towns of its propor-
tions. The town has fine streets,
thousands of beautiful shade trees, a
commodious park, good Public School,
and Collegiate Institute, and numer-
ous churches. Mayor Holmes is con-
stantly on the alert to advance the in-
terests of his town and it cannot be
said of him that he is an occupant of
e position of chief magistrate with
he object alone of enjoying the digni-
Mid'honor of the office.

Clarke Wallace, Comptroller of Cus-
toms, and Dr Nesbitt, of Toronto, held
a meeting in the town hall, Clinton,
on Wednesday night, ostensibly in the
interest of Mr Weismiller, who was
not present. The bulk of the audience
were electors in the West Riding, and
there are not a few who think that the
,objectofthe meeting was really to in-
fluence this class, because there could
be no other object in holding a meet-
ing in Mr Weismiller's interest, out-
side of his riding. In point of fact Mr
Wallace advised the electors to vote
for Mr Connolly. There was a good at-
tendance. The chair was occupied by
Mr Todd.
Speeches were made by Dr. Nesbit
and Clark Wallace, their remarks be-
ing a general condemnation of the
Mowat administration and prediction
of victory on the 26th. The Liberals
had no speaker present, but Mr Searle
pluckily took the platform in their
behalf, and made several good points.
The band played in front of the Rat-
tenhury House, where they were
quartered, and also preceeded their
carriage to the town hall.
This is what the Toronto Star of
Wednesday had to say:—"Clarke Wal -
lace's place is at Ottawa, where he
should be earning the salary he draws
from the federal treasury. He has no
right in this provincial campaign, first,
because he is practically a 11 ominion
rxtinister, and secondly because federal
(legislators should keep out of provin-
cial .politics."„
