The races .on the Square were; goad; the 3 to 5 mile bicycle . raceswould have been especially good but for the lack of or, der. The racing committee allowed the people to crowd the track, with the result that Baldwin, of Seaforth, was badly thrown when finishing the last lap, and. Chisholm and Stocks com- pelled to foul after crossing tape at the finish, breaking one bicycle and risking the necks of both men; it was brutal treatment of both men; the square is evidently the place for excit- ing bicycle races. Goderich baseball and lacrosse clubs were both defeated by Corrie and ]Seaforth teams.

DEATH.—Mr Benjamin Adams died at his residence, on Goderich street, on Wednesday night of last week. Mr Adams was a very old man, having reached the age of 80 years, and until very recently, although suffering a good deal of bodily affliction for sever- al years, has been able to work his own garden, which was not by any means a very small one. He was highly re- spected by all who knew him, and had for many years been a member of the Methodist church. . We extend -our sympathy to the bereaved relatives, among whom is a daughter, Mrs Wm. Cline, of this town. DOMINION DAY.—Dominion Day was observed as a general holiday by our citizens.

DIED.—Mr. R. Coleman, brother of the late Dr. Coleman, was called away to his long resting place on Sunday morning last. He had been confined to his home for several weeks through illness, but latterly was able to go about some. The morning of his death he arose for breakfast, after which not feeling first rate. lay down. His wife had stepped out to a neighbor's house for a few moments, and on returning found him dead. Mr Coleman had been a resident of Seaforth for many years, and was held in high esteem by his many acquaintances, who extend condolence to the wife and family in this their time of bereavement. NOTES.—Mr Geo. McKinley, who is spending a short vacation at the par- ental home in Egmondville, will occu- py the pulpit of the Methodist church in town on Sunday evening next.

Mrs Braund, widow of the late Levis Braund, left on Tuesday for England, her native country., where she will re- side in future, The Huron foot ball team of this place went to Galt on Friday of last week to play the final match in the series of the Western Association matches with the team of that place: they played—they won by 2 goals to 1; they are • now the cham- pions of the district. In the League game of lacrosse, Clinton vs. Seaforth, on the recreation grounds on Friday last, the scores stood at the finish 4 goals to 1 in favor of the home team. Kippen OBITUARY.—It is our painful duty this week to record the death of Mrs late Robt. McMordie, McM , relict of the McMbrdie. The subject of the acbom- panying sketch was born in the county of Down in the north•of Ireland, in the year 1807, whose maiden name was Campbell. She belonged to a family who have long been connected with the welfare and prosperity of the city of Belfast; her brother. the late Henry Campbell, amassed considerable wealth as a linen manufacturer of that place. She, with her husband, emigrated to Ontario in the year 1847, and resided for one year near Toronto, the follow ing year they moved into what was known as the Huron Tract, and settled on a farm in the township of Tucker - smith, where she underwent all- the hardships and trials of pioneer life. Her husband having died in 1803, she and her unmarried daughter resided on the homestead till' 1893, when they removed to London, Ont. She was blessed with a good constitution, an active disposition and was always hopeful, going to her Heavenly Fath- er with all her troubles and placing her trust in Him. She was a consist- ent member of the Presbyterian church, giving liberally to all schemes, and attended divine service as long as her health permitted. She was great- ly respected by all who had the pleas- ure of her acquaintance; she was ever anxious for' the Welfare of her family. What bad once been a strong consti- tution gradually began to fail during the last ten years of her life, her earth- ly pilgrimage closed at the age of eighty-seven years and five months, at her daughters residence in London, on the 26th of last month, passing painlessly away tothat heavenly home to which she had long 'been looking hopefully forward to, leaving two sons and two daughters_to mourn her loss, Robert, McMordie, of: Kippeu, and 'Henry of California, Mrs A.
