On the first train there were seven cars loaded to overflowing and each of the other trains through the day repeated it and from early morning the crowd drove in from every direction until the town was full to overflowing, there being about 5,000 , people here. In the fore- noon there was a footballmatch be- tween Ripley and Brussels, which re- sulted in favor of Brussels by 3 to 0: then came a lacrosse match between the Seaforth Juniors and Lucknow, which resulted in favor of Seaforth. The following bands were in attend- ance: Wingham, Listowel, Kincardine Auburn. In the afternoon the athletic sports were held on the square, but the heavy thunder shower made the grounds wet and sloppy. About 12.30 the thunder began to rattle, and short- ly after the rain came, accompanied by hail, and by one o'clock we had one of the heaviest showers of the season, every place being like a lake. The people were by this time heading for the race course, but it was almost covered with water. For a time the directors looked blue, but they held a Wcarried meeting, and decided, if the eather kept clear to go on with the races at 3 p. m., which they did, and at once opened the gates and the people poured in, until the receipts for the gate and stand footed up to the sum of $460. The races were not its good as they wouldhave been With a fast track, but the crowd seemed pleased. The races all came off, finishing about 8 ,p. m. The track was in first class order when the rain came on. The Association will clear themselves, but had it, not been for the rain, they would have had two or three hundred dollars to the good. They„can only however, trust to better luck again. The following is a summary of the races: - 3 -minute trot— Allan Wilkes, Copp 2 1 1 1 Senator, Burgess 1 2 3 2 Rumor, jr., Wilson 3 8 2 3 Time, 2.42, 2.62, 2.87, 2.40 2.50 trot or pace— Lord Tennyson, Kennedy .1 1 1 Brown Sant, Millman 2 2 2 Time, 2.41, 2.37, 2.40. 2.30 trot er pace— Saranac, Dlmage 1 1 1 John Nelson, Perdue .2 2 2 Nimrod, Wells 8 3 3 Time, 2.40, 2,44, 2.37. ' Had the rain kept off► all the races would have trotted better than 2.80. The directors are talking of holding a fall meeting. The judges were: Geo.

The game resulted in favor of the visiting team by 7 runs. Mr, Clarke, a Toronto editor and tourist, a professional player who is clorniciled at the River Hotel with lira family, was selected' for captain and catcher, and Mr., (galley, tourist, was allowed to pptti;h. With such a strofig battery the home club made it very difficult tor the visitors to do much heavy hitting, with the exception of Mr. Jos. Ratteuliury and Mr. Jno, Wiseman, who made two home runs and distinguished them- selves in playing without an error. No heavy batting was made. Even Mr. McTaggart, Ulinton's heavy batter, retired after pounding wind, so effec- tive were Mr. Chidley's curves; Mr. Geo. Irwin also distinguished himself in his running and excellent fielding ; also our Mr. Kerrgan, Woods and. Frank Irwin received great applause from the ladies present. For Clinton Mr. Crews proved himself a great acquisition, while Mr. Lack Kennedy and Mr. Jim Fair played a faultless Faure. Mr. Norman Fair took his life in his hands when he agreed to offici- ate as umpire, his sonorous voice sounding over the field, as it did, none daring to dispute h is excell en tjudgment. The game ended without a dispute. No date has yet been fixed for the re- turn match but our 17 boys hope to fully redeem themselves when they again meet. Clinton had better put up their best team next time. Goderich. Bass fishing the past tett days has been very poor.

The occupants soon had hold of one end of the craft, but as it began to sink, the gentleman let go and made for the other end, both being supported until taken off by a boat which was luckily within hail. Both young people were none the worse for the immersion and to prevent a like mishap in the future the canoe has been sold. Mr. E. F.

Being an active member of our organization, ready and willing at all times to do anything in her power to further the interest of temperance, she will therefore he greatly missed by us. We are also constrained'to state that her exemplary life, and her Christian fortitude and patience during the period of suffering will not fail to produce their wonted effectupon those ohserv- ang them. Therefore we would say to you, "Weep not as those who have no hope," because at such a time as at present "outward things and inward thoughts teem with assurance of inv. mortality." Let ars he patient. These severe afflic- tions ' Not from the ground arise, But oftentimes celestial benedictions, Assume this dark disguise. She is not dead, -the child of our affec- tion.— But gone into that school Where she' no longer needs our poor protection, And Christ himself doth rule. Not as a child shall we again behold her;' For when with raptures wild, • In our embrace shall we again enfold her, She will not be a child ; But a fair maiden in her father's man- sion, Clothed with celestial grace ; And .beautiful with all the soul's ex- pansion Shall we behold her face. • Signed in behalf of Holmesville Coun- cil, No. 508, R.
