SKATING RACES.—The skating races at the Clinton Palace Ice Rink last Thursday evening were a success, although Baldwin of Seaforth,failedto put in an appearance add the five -mile championship was declared off. The foo• events resulted as follows :— Potato Race—First. prise, Silver Pickle Dish, valued at $2, J. Carter ; 2nd, Silver Butter Dish, valued at $1.50, W. Miller.

The number of members in good standing is 36. This shows a small increase during the quarter. The members do not seem at all likely to relax the great efforts they have been making in the cause of Temper- ance, we look forward to a quarter of increased prosperity. It was decided to have an open meeting on the even- ing of Feb. 15th, when it is likely one of the district officers will give an address.—COM. MR. AIKEN's lecture on South Africa last Tuesday deserved a crowded house. It is peculiar that good lectures are not more liberally patronized in Clinton. The more instructive the smaller the audience seems to bc the rue. THE ice harvest is on and JoseiIph Allanson is snaking the best of the time at his disposal. Mr. Allanson has been 26 years in this business and the Health Officer recommends his ice this year to be pure and suitable for any purpose. GUN CLUB 'MONTHLY SHOOT.—The monthly shoot on Monday for the silver trophy resulted in Richard Grigg making the highest score, 22 points, and he will hold the cup for a month. Charles Hale followed with 21 points. in the handicap R. Grigg won ;first place and C. Hale second. MR. SHARPE, who has been on a visit to relatives and friends in Grey, Goderich township and Clinton, called on THE NEws-RECORD in company with Mr. George Hanley, town, the other day. Mr Sharpe is engaged as foreman on the farm of Premier Green- way and ranch prefers that country to Ontario. He will return in a short time. TaE 33RD BATTALION BALL. The officers of the 33rd Battalion have de- cided to hold the annual hall in Clinton this year. At first it was decided to take Clinton, Seaforth, Goderich and Wingharn in rotation, but, Whitehall' has not a suitable building in which to hold it anti that town drops out. The citizens of Clinton, we are sure, will do everything possible to make the an- nual military hall to be held here early this spring, a decided success. THE VICTORIAS VI('TORI0CS.—The Victoria hockey tearer, of Winnipeg, played the first of their Eastern match- es at Ottawa Thursday evening with the Ottawas. They surprised every- one who witnessed their play, end won the match by a score of o to 2. Their c•ontbination play was perfect , and every roan on the tearer is a rapid skater. The Victories t'onrpletely outplayed their opponents, and won the game on their merits. J. A. Sheppard, goal keeper of the Winnipeg Victorian, is :t former resident of Clinton. RITNAWAY. On Friday nfternnon Mr. H. Cole's horse gained its liberty at. the head of Albert, street. In passing another rig Mr. (`ole turned out where there was an embankment elf snow and the cutter was overturned. One of the lines broke and the horse jogged down Albert street and took to the side- walk at Fair's office. In front of Rob - son's grdcery the cutter came in con- tact with a tie post and a separation took place. The animal was stopped at Ontario street, the damage being light. Mr. C. Hale was also in the rig at the time of the upset. THE ATwoon BEE.—This well con- ducted local paper has entered upon its sixth year of publication under the ownership and management of Mr. R. S. Pelton. The Bee has forged ahead since its inception and the people of Atwood are to he congratulated in having such a worthy exponent of the village. Mr. Pellon is a practi- cat printer end know his business. Every husiness man in Atwood should he represented in the columns of the Bee. Few places the size of Atwood produce as good a paper. May they live long and have abundant prosperity. OBJECTIONS.—On Monday Mr. Hays, of Goderich, raised several timely and thoughtful objections against the Re- form mode of procedure that may and we think should—result in a gain to the Conservatives. For instance all summonses produced by the Grits as duplicates of those served were not dated on the bettorn or any indication as to when they were issued by the Judge. They may not lie held as legal. And again the ap- peals, we believe, were not, posted 1 within the meaning of the few. The statute states that the appeals to the Judge must he made 14 days before the day of holding of the Court. These HHays.were well taken by lawyer ays. His Honor reserved• judgment, and the verdict may not be as favor- able to our opponents as we have out- wardly reported the revision proceed- ings in this issue. VoTERs' LIST COURT.—The council chamber in Clinton was the scene of a large gathering; end considerable ac- tivity on Monday last. The final Do- minion Voters' List Court was held before Judge Doyle. For the Reform - 0 vs lawyer Proud foot and W. Coats were alert, while lawyer Hays and A. M. Todd made the best et the situation in t he interests of ('onservatives. After the whole drays work we do not know that the Clinton voters lists have ever been placed in Netter shape. 1f the Reformers had succeeded in their wholesale charge upon Conservative elector; there would certainly be a tench different story to tell. In appeals and additions our opponents had a total number of 100, while the Conser- vatives had in all 71. The Reformers succeeded with 53, and the Conser- vatives with 59 nit of 73. ('ensider'ing the voters added by declaration and oar success at the Court. the Conser- vatives have every reason to feel gratified. DEATH oe THOMAS ('oueve. The Winghem Advance furnishes the fallowing biography of 'Mr. Thos. Cnrnyn, Sr., well known to many Nrgive-ltLcraw readers, who died there a week ago hist. Sunday.- "Thames ('ornyn was horn in Ireland in August of the year 1810, and was consegnently 5.4 years and five menthe old. Deceased was the third son of the Late John Cornyn, w ho, with his family, were the first settlers in what is now \Vinghem. They built the first house in the place in 1851) on the spot where IIIe Queen's hotel now stands. It wos a log building of course, and was used es a hotel. Mr. ('or•nyn, Sr., cvanie to Turnberry in 1850 and settled on lot. 4, con. 1, then settled as above stated. Deceased for years lived on lot 21, can. 9, but, failing health caused hire to give up the far•in ; he built a handsome brick residence (01 lite brow of the hill on Josephine street overlooking the north branch of the Maitland, and moved into town. He was a fai,t4bful and devoted mem her of the (Mulch of England, and for many years was, the people's warden, the late Crowell Willson laboring with hire as the rector's warden. It is almost unneces- sary to state that, he waa a staunch Conservative. in the land; of his birth the green fields on eittier side the waters of the Boyne river, where the memorable battle of the Boyne was fought, were as familiar to him as the fields were in after years which he tilled so long in Turnherry. Brought up with such surroundings it is small wonder that he early identified himself with the Loyal Orange Association. For years he carried the big drum of No.. 704, which was imported direct, from the Green isle, and he was an adept at beating it, Being a pioneer he was known far and wide, and he was respected for his honesty and integrity of purpose by all who knew him.' tJRPLUS STOCK SALE.
