BOWLING. — The Clinton Bowling Club expects to send two rinks to Galt on Friday and to entertain the London Club here next week. Two rinks from Toronto will also be here in ugust. CIVIC HOLIDAY, JULY 31.—In pur- e Nuance of a largely signed requisition the Mayor has declared Friday, July 31, civic holiday for Clinton. The return league lacrosse match between Clinton and Mitchell will be played here on that day. LACROSSE.—On civic holiday, Friday, July 31st, Mitchell will play the return match in the league contest with Clinton. We trust every encourage- ment will be giventheboys and that citizens of Clinton will turn out en masse. PEOPLE WHO TRAVEL.—The follow- ing passengers were ticketed by W. Jackson, town agent, during the past week :—John Johnston and wife, Mrs. Whitehead, Miss Estell, for Mackinac and return, per str. Carmona; Miss White for Philadelphia, Miss Ross for Northfield, Mass., I. Taylor for Bins - earth, Man., Joseph Harris for Mooso- min. DEATH OF A FORMER CLiNTONIAN.— Tom Grigg, who was a native of Clin- ton and learned his trade in the foundry here as a moulder many nears ago, died at the Windsor Hotel, Regina, N. W. T., last Wednesday, from inflammation of the bowels. lie was a brother to Sam Grigg, formerly of Clinton and London, now of Nia- gara -on -the Lake. METHODIST PARSONAGE.- Ata meet- ing of the members of Rattenbury street Methodist Church last Friday evening a vote was taken as to the purchasing of a residence tor their spiritual adviser. The committee had recommended the purchase of Mr. S. Davis' property on Rattenhury street at a cost of $2,000 and the vote strong - iv favored the recommendation. The trustee Board will meet this week and decide whether or not the purchase will be made. AGAIN THE BENEDICTS WIN.- -As a result of the repeated defeats sustained by the single men at the bands of the married men at cricket it is said the several issuers of marriage licenses will Wearied upon in the near future to com- ply with the law in filling out an un- usual number of matrimonial parch- ments. THE NEWS -RECORD has nu less than eleven names, a picked team, hut it would not he fair to advertise them in advance. As a reminder, we would sinaily say THE NEWS -RECORD carries a full line of up-to-date wedding stationery, and that we would be pleased to fill large or small orders at very reasonable rates. While the match on Friday was of great interest, the score of 30 for the single rnen against 54 by the married men was not what was expected. Five matches have been played so far, the bachelors winning but one. They have now come to the conclusion that they roust further strengthen their team, or go and --get married. A Otra WA,r .—At the last meeting of the Council it was decided to allow Mr. Howe to put down a piece of cement or gtanolithic walk as an ex- periment. Tun NEwe•R'IscoRD has heard a great deal said about it and several times we have been asked as to where the experiwent should be made. If we followed some of those who have epoken to us we might be selfish enough to suggest In (rout of Tui; NEws-R>raoRD office. Our idea of the public welfare, however, is not self. Tho'town hall is public property, and in front of that public building is our choice. To our mind, no better or more fair location can ue suggested. COWS AND GRASS.—There is talk of cows being at large because they are staked out, but there is nothing said of the cows in paid pasture, and where milk thiefs rob various families of the necessaries of life. There is always two sides to a question, and it is a cry- ing shame that the town allows all the grass to become a nuisance and go to waste when dozens of poor families could receive a benefit from it. The streets of Clinton are not cared for as they should be in the way of the grass being mowed. The town should pass a by-law compelling property -holders to cut the grass, or the work should be done at the expense of the town. MARRIAGE LICENSES.— Those Who wish to get spliced without some ex- tra trouble will need to hurry up. An important change has been made in the law relating to marriage licenses, which takes effect on the first of next month. Heretofore it has been neces- sary for the intended groom only to make affidavit to the necessary facts before an issuer of marriage licenses, but from August let, both parties to the intended marriage must person- ally make affidavit. It is not neces- sary that both parties should appear before the issuer at the same time, but untr,l each has made affidavit the license cannot he issued. The girls will have to pluck up courage to comply with this new provision. BICYCLE RACES.—Put it in your bat so that you will make no other for Friday evening, but attend the Bicycle races at the park. There will be five numbers on the card and every one will be well contested. Races startat7 sharp, as follows :—Boys, mile in heats; handicap, 2 miles; orale open; fat uutu's race; team race, Goderich vs. Clinton. An adrnission of five cents will be charged to pay expenses Watch the Mayor after Tom Jackson's scalp in the two toile handicap. Chief Wheatley, Fred Jackson, Dr. Bruce, Johnnie Miller and Dan Ross will make a quintette worth going to see. In the mile open Baldwin of Seaforth, Cook Bros., of Hensall, Turner and Snider. of Brucefield, Jowett of Bayfield, and the Goderich and Clinton cracks will face the starters., A Goon PARSON.—The following from the Fenton (Mich.) Independent of July 4th refers to a brother of R. J. Cluff, town, and John Club, Gode- rich township:—In view of the change to take place in our parish, the Vestry of St. Jude's church of Fenton Mich., deem it appropriate to say, that in the past history of our church, at no time have we been asked to part. with a rector under such peculiar conditions of regret as occurs in our unwilling acceptance of the resignation of Rev. William T. Ctaff, who has been an earnest and successful worker amongst us for a period of more than three years. On his arrival here a plain and rather antiqpe church edifice was used. Now by the means of his active energies with the aid of several very munificent gentlemen furnishing financial aid, and building talent, aided by the untiring, noble and eminent services of the ladies of the church, a modern and beautiful church has been erected that is not only a lovely temple dedicated to the worship of God hut is ornamental to the place and we trust will continue in corning bane to be a pleasant monu- ment to all who so nobly aided in its construction. We regard it but simple justice to our retiring rector to say to the public and to those with whom he may hereafter be called upon to act that his qualifications for the pulpit are modest, conciliatory and popular with all classes. That he has introduc- ed some pleasant changes in our choral service. As a gentleman he naturally possesses a pleasing manner to which cultivation has added lustre, and during his continued labors amongst us the effect upon his character in mingling with society in active service for the right, it has had the like effect of burnishing substances upon silver to make his character as neighbor and citizen to grow brighter. in the expression of our own sincere sense of sorrow in parting with Mr. (:111f fHd family we are assured that we also express the unanimous feeling of all our citizens and wish our retir- ing friends a pleasant and happy future.
