team has not been named at time of

of Arthur McRae, town, who had his
heel and ankle injured a couple of
years since while playing lacrosse, was
operated on in Detroit the other day.
Three medical men were in attendance,
'a disjointed bone having to be replaced.
At last accounts the patient was doing
well, and expects to be around in the
course of a few weeks. He returned
home yesterday morning.
BICYCLE CONTESTS.—After the la-
crosse match on civic holiday bicycle
races were held and proved a success.
In the Boys third -mile race, best 2in 3,
C. Cook secured first place, W. Mc-
Murray second and G. Fortune third.
The third -mile handicap was won by
Manville, Jervis and Cook; the open
one.mile was won in the same order.
Manville, Jowett and Jervis, in the
two-mile, won in the order named and
created great interest.
OFFICIAL VISIT.—A few days since
the G. T. R. officials paid an official
v4sit to Clinton. There were not man
citizens aware of the fact, and only th
business men and shippres had an in
terview. The dignitaries were general
manager Charles M. Hays, F. H. Mc
0 Guigan, general superintendent; E. EL
Fitzhugh, superintendent western dis
trict ; Joseph Hobson, chief engineer
F. W. Morse. superintendent motiv
Arr; and John Fuller, the popula
ia freight agent of Stratford.
The latter introduced the officials to
. the principal business men and ship-
pers, wins expressed; themselves well
pleased with everything here. This is
a high complimeht to Agent A.•0.
Pattison. The party went from here
to Goderich and then to Kincardine.
LACROSSE.—The district champion-
ship match between Clinton and
Mitchell on civic holiday was we be-
lieve the best contested ever witness-
ed in Clinton. From the start it
appeared as though Clinton would
prove too much for their opponents,
for throughout the two hours' play the
ball was a greater portion of the time
kept at the home. The first goal how-
ever, was made by Mitchell after 45
minutes hard play. For an hour and
a quarter longer the game was fast
and hard on both sides. A cheer went
up for Clinton as they shot the ball
through Mitchell's flags, but Referee
Tiffin judgment prevailed and it was
not allowed. The result after two
hours' hard play, was 1 to 0 in favor of
Mitchell. While the game was rough
at times and several players received
scalp wounds, the best of feeling pre-
vailed among the players. One point
in connection with the game is thia—
therPshould be sonle rule laid down
to prevent outside experts from taking
part in local Matches. Mitchell, we
are given to understand, had three
Toronto players on their team and to
them the visitors owe their success.
Clinton and Bright have dropped out
of the contest, and the tug-of-war
is now between Mitchell with 3 victor-
ies to their credit, one of these being a
defahlt by Bright, and 4 for Seaforth,
se that the latter is in the lead.

Editor News -Record.
DF-kR, SIR,—I have always had
high opinion of your paper, but never
more so than when you came out like
a man and true British subject in the
recent general election. Your stand •
was for principle rather than for self,.
if all I have heard he true. You even: —
opposed some of your own friends iu
order to follow out the dictates of your
own conscienee„, I. quite realize you
are a reading man and should iu con-
sequence have opinions of your own.
Your opinion on some of these knotty
questions should he worth something,
and I have learned that they are.
Before the la.)e election you told the -
electors what would happen, I have
before me your paper where you said
Mr. Kilty would loose his deposit of
$200; I have, before me the vote you
said would be cast; I have before the
also the vote you said would he cast
for each candidate. In every ease
within a fraction your statements have
come true. I think, then, your advice
should haye been heeded. At first I
was opposed to your stand, but finally
concluded there was something in
What you said in your paper and voted
for McLean. If others had done the
same Robert McLean would to -day
have been the member for West
Heron. After all this, I have read
iu your paper what the Seaforth Sim
has said and how it has belied our lea,d-
ers. You were right in taking that
false prophet to task. He richly
deserved it. I have never seen
or known anything of the Sun, but 1
hope you will not allow him to play
the Judas act on Sir Charles Tupper
and a great party that is the history
of this great Dominion without dis-
secting his utterances. You deserve
the thanks of the rank rind file, and
the Party itE elf, for the noble stand
THE NEWS -RECORD has in the past
and at present taken, and I run sure
you will have even extended patr:mage
from a generous and high-minded
public.
Truly yours

A Reform Opinion.
Editor News-Re^oril.
Sin, do not take your paper, but
read it ever weak. I am a Reformer
and like fair play on both sides of
politics. I admire Sir Charles Tupper
for his manliness and clean character.
He has made money and I am glad to
know it, but I am also glad to know he
has not made his money as a politician,
His wealth has been gained outside his
politics. Knowing this, 1 admire the
independent and consistent stand you
take in showing_ up the unprincipled
Seaforth Sun. Nothing can be gamed
in slandering the great leader of a
great party, and I say this even
though I am opposed to that party. I
believe the Reform party is right and
will continue to support it., at the same
time.' believe in giving credit where
credit is due.
Yours„ R
Aug. 8. EFORMER.
