LACROSSE.—A large number of Clin- tonians were in Seaforth last Friday to witness the Iacroste match betweeh the Brampton Excelsiors and Seaforth Beavers. The game was called at 3 o'clock on Recreation Park, and Sea - forth seerned to slightly lead from the start, although the Excelsior's were more fleet -footed and fully tested the staying powers of the Beavers, who won by four straights. In the first game Seaforth secured the ball, and it was quickly sent on the Brampton flags, where it was smartly stopped and returned to centre. It was again sent down on the Brampton flags, and by clever work on the part of Seaforth, was put through by H. Jackson, in 161 minutes. After a few minutes rest the ball was again faced off, and, as in the first, Seaforth had much the best of the play, and by clean combination work Blackford scored the game for Seaforth in 15 minutes. The third game started slightly in favor of Brampton, but the Excelsiors were un- able to cope with the fast work of Sea - forth, and in 4i minutes J. A. Jackson again scored. The fourth and last game was a magnificent display of stick handling, with Seaforth away ahead, and at no time did Brampton appear to ba in it. At every point they were outclassed, and in 8 minutes Freeman scored the winning game for Seaforth. It is almost impossible to select any one player who deserves more praise than another, but perhaps Johnson, Beattie, Jackson and Free- man were the stars. For the defence McDonald, McDougall, Blackford and Smith played in grand form. In centre Brierly played his usual game, and Campbell in goal was not equalled. For Brampton Dr. Roberts played a good game in the flags ; Milner and Warbrick played a grand game, but were checked perhaps as never before. The Brampton players were evidently not in shape, and at no time was the Seaforth goal in danger. Seaforth has now a big hold on first place, having won eight and lost one, and have one more to play, viz., Fergus, at Bramp- ton, on Sept. 2nd. About$1,000chang- ed hands on the game, the Brampton visitors hacking their team very heavi- ly. C. L. A. STANDING. To W. L.

TRAMPS 1 TRAMPS 11 TRAMPS 1 11 -- There were rumors numerous of tramps and bloodshed and murder 1 last Tues- day night and Wednesday morning. The report went out that there were sand -bagging and hideous ghost stories and narrow life -escapes innumerable. In a lonesome northwest portion of the town two young men (no names men- tioned) were leisurely strolling along, when they were pounced upon by a gang•of five toughs (chums) and one of thein sand -bagged with a stocking full of bran. His comrade moved like electricity, awakened the neighborhood with cries of murder 1guns ! revolvers and called the chief of police and Mayor of the town to the scene, but all was too late. The tramps and would- be murderers had flown to some place of safety, while excited citizens were conjuring up thoughts of what._might have been. The young man who escaped was, -by this time under treat- ment for his nerves, while his compan- ion was enjoying the sweets of life. The joke was too practical to at first be believed, but the fact finally dawned that there should be more than one way of doing up tramps. Thus the joke exploded and the uninjured, though terribly frightened, young man set 'eat up in order that he might get square with the boys. BUSINESS CHANGES.—Mr. John Jack- son, one of the "old guard" among Clin- ton merchants, this week retires from business, being succeeded by such fami- liar and popular names as W. & F. T. Jackson. The new firm, Jackson & Jackson, are too well known to re- quire any recommendation from THE NEWS -RECORD. Mr. W. Jackson, a life long citizen, has a local and pro- vincial reputation as a gentleman of strict business methods, while Mr. F. T. Jackson, also a native of Clinton, has spent his life at the business and is a thoroughly practical man. The com- bination is one that should mean suc- cess.—Mr. R. J. Macdonald, of Jackson Bros., clothiers, &c., who has been as- sociated with the flrm for ten years, r etires this week and goes to Sea - forth, where he takes a partner- ship with Mr. Greig, late Jack- son & Greig. The new firm will be known as Greig & Macdonald. Mr. Jas. T. Jackson r•etnrnasto Clinton and takes an interest in the firm of Jackson Bros. and will have charge of the woollen and furnishing -depart- ments. Mr-. Macdonald is a y&rng gentleman • of strict business habits, thorough in his dealings, and his many friends regret his departure. THE NEWS -RECORD most heartily recom- mends him to the people of Seaforth and neighborhood. Mr. J. S. Jackson, who returns here, is a native of Clin- ton, and will be welcomed hack.—Miss Nettie Clarke, of Toronto, takes a posi- tion with Jackson & Jackson, the new boot and shoe firm. THOMAS SPOONER PASSES AWAY.— One by one the old residents and sturdy pioneers of Huron are being removed by death. The present generation, sons and daughters of those whose muscles were made almost of iron to endure the hardships incident to the hewing out of homes from an unbroken forest, find hut few remaining of those who. settled in Huron and adjoining counties very many years ago. One of the most recent to join the silent majority is Mr. Thomas Spooner, who died at his home in Clinton last Thurs- day, aged 77 years, A native of Staf- fordshire, England, he married Miss Elizabeth Smith in 1851 and emigrated to Canada in 1869, locating near Ot- tawa, the capitol of the Dominion. Shortly afterward Mr. Spooner and family inoved westward to Clinton. By calling he was a carpenter, thoroughly upright and honest in all his dealings. The family consists of the widow and three sons, the latter residing in Manitoba ; two of them were present at the funeral. Ms. Spooner had been i11 but two weeks. the immediate cause of death being congestion of the lungs. He was a brother of the late Charles Spooner, a staunch Conservative in politics and Episcopalian in religion. The funeral took place to Clinton cemetery on Sat- urday, the pall hearers being Messrs. Joseph Allanson, Wm. Sloman, S. Cook, John Irvine, Adam Foster and Henry Joyner. HOUSE OF REFUGE NOTES. Last Tuesday the editor of the Brussels Post, who is a member of the House of Refuge Committee, paid an official visit to the works along with other members. He says :—The water tank is now placed in position by A. W. Chrystal and staff. It weighs nearly 24 tons and will hold 3500 gals of water, which is pumped into it from the wind- mill. The water supplies are taken from this through galvanized iron pipes to the different w. c. rooms, laun- dry, kitchen, etc. Harper & Co. have their material on the ground and men rushing in soil pipes. All pipes will be fully exposed and open to view, ac- cording to the most modern methods. Mr. Croll and staff are putting on the first coat of mortar. When this is dry the trim will be put on and the finish- ing coat will close in tightly all around it. The ventilation tubes from Har- land Bros. are under way. Contractor S. S. Cooper expects, nothing prevent- ing, to have the work done by the specified time and all ready for the Committee to take over. A large amount of inside rflnish and material is ready to come to the grounds. The barn is approaching completion and is a credit td the skill of the contractor, A McBeth ; few, if any,.. better barns in point of workmanship, can be found in the county. Now that the plaster- ing is commenced and large lots of loose metal material are lying around no visitors will he admitted to the building unless by order of or in com- pany with Contractor or Foreman. THE } yearly Rural Decanal Meeting for Huron will be held in St. Paul's Church S.S. on Thursday, Sept. 10th, at. 10 a. m.

NARROW ESCAPE.—The other day Mr. Coltman, town_, and Miss Dulmage, of St. Thomas, had anarrow escape from being drowned in Lake Huron. The couple were among a camping party near Bayfield and went for a sail In a row boat. The waters were tronblous and the safety of the lady and gentleman was a matter for anx- iety by the campers on land. They had rowed out about half a mile and became. somewhat alarmed from the fact that there was 'water in the boat, not realizing that it dipped. On the return to secure a cup or dipper to hale it out the boat swayed until it got into the trough of the sea and along with the human freight went down, at the same time movingtoward shore. The accident happenea considerable dis- tance from the shore, where Mr. W. H. Beesley happened to be. He secur- ed another boat and put out, but by this time Miss Dulmage and Mr. Colt- rnan had found bo ,torsi with water up to their chins, and walked to shore without great difficulty. Thus a watery grave was happily averted. DEATH'S DOINGS. — On Monday, Hannah B., relict of the late Robert G. Cuninghatne, passed to her reward at the residence of her son John here.

The family later re- moved back to the States, afterward settling in Goderich. The late Robert G. Cuninghame, a native of Glasgow, conducted k general store there and early in the forties married Miss Reid. He died in Godericb, leaving a widow and two sons, John and. Charles.
