THE BICYCLE RACES.—Speaking of the races in Seaforth last week the Ex- positor says:—"Ii theflve mile race be- tween Manville and Livingston the ex- citement ran high. It was a race fr om start to finish, and as they came down the stretch it looked as though it might be a tie, and everybody stood up and yelled, but Manville passed over the .,ape about a foot in the lead. Such a finish to a race is rarely seen, and the crowd showed the appreciation of the efforts of the riders by their hearty applause." INJtmY BY THE ARMY WORM.—The army worm has done considerable in- jury on the farm of"Mr'W. Weir, Bay- eld road, and possibly other places as well. In a 30 -acre oat field it is esti- mated that the injury is as much as ten to fifteen bushels to the acre, the • oats lying so thick on the ground that theycan be gathered up in handsful. Now that the oats are on the ground Mr Weir is going to try an experiment by plowing the oats under very light- ly, to see if they may not come up this fall for green feed.

The following item, fro the Wingham Journal, is more irna- ginary than real:—"The ratepayers of Clinton have decided, by a large vote, to put in a system of water works, in- candescent fights and tun sewers all over the town." D. Oantelon shipped a car load of hogs from Bluevale on Friday last. The Oddfellows' excur- sion to Niagara Falls, Friday, was fairly well patronized, although only about forty tickets were sold here.

Cantelon Bros.' stores are scenes of great activity these days, for in addition to handling im- mense quantities of butter and eggs, they are now handling plums, pears, &c, daily, and as these are a large crop, they are kept exceedingly busy. The Civic Quite a number went to various points on the Civic, and those who re- mained at home had an opportunity to enjoy themselves as well.

In the 2 -mile race there were five entries, but only three fin- ished; Manville and Jowett making a pretty finish, with the latter a length ahead, and Jervis a good third. CRICKET.—The Cricketers succeeded in defeating Forest club . at that place by 6 wickets and 3 runs. The game with London Asylum club, on Satur- day, was not completed owing to the rain; it is expected that London club will come here and play a game before long. Some of the boys are supposed to have said more than their prayers on Saturday evening, for four of them were just a couple of minutes too late to catch the last train for Cli,lton, and they were under the necessity of hiring a conveyance and driving home, ar- riving here a little earlier than break- fast time Sunday. LAWN BOWLING.—Two rinks of the London Bowling Club played here with two rinks of Clinton, and the home team easily defeated the visitors. as the following score shows:— LONDON J. Mattinson A.1H.

CLINTON. " THF DATE" SEMI- ANNUAL FIXED FOR OUR SLAUGHTER SALE SATURDAY, AUG. 15 And to those keen, shrewd buyers who appreciate solid, live bargains this announcement will be of some interest. For years we have had the credit of smashing prices on our particular days, that were never approached by any house in Ontario, and we still intend to keep up the good work. We believe in dost * out odd lines of goods instead of al- lowing them to accumulate and become bad stock, and prices are a secondary consideration. This year we will offer some wonderful figures on MEN'S AND BOYS CLOTHING, HATS, CAPS & FURNISHINGS. Full particulars of which will appear in next week's issue of this paper. Thin being our tenth anniversary year, we.will make every tenth sale free, and the same conditions will apply as last January; that is, that every tenth Hat will be given free, every tenth Suit free, every 'tenth pair of Pants free, and so on throughout the whole Het. People who got the tenth sales last January, without any cost, will remember how it le done, and we expect a rush this season. We carry ono of the finest stocks in Oanada, and 9n suit the keenest hotel's. 040 ddi ami (Q9?� It's the same this year as last, we again have a quan- tity of stock, the completeness of which is broken, or slightly shop-worn, Blow moving and in some cases un- saleable at full price. Some of these we have placed in our windows, and given each a price which ;will make you buy if it should happen that you want any- thing in the lot, There's always a demand for these goods, and they are sure to soon disappear. These re- ductions are made to stimulate business these dull days. We don't expect to lose money, but expect to make more customers and less profit. Counting cash is more to our liking than listing merchandise. We therefore invite everybody to inspect our offerings, with the confilence that their judgment will be in our favor.
