On Wednesday evening of last
week, a number of our citizens met
and arranged for a patriotic concert
to be given the following evening in
honor uf British saecesses in South
Africa. The concert wee held in
Industiy hall, whieli was packed to
the doors and beautifully and artist(
catty decorated. Acting,Reeve Sloan
wee chairman and addresses were
given by Rov. A. McLean, Rev. Wm.
Penhall, Rev. C. L. Mills, John Wil-
ford and Frauk Metcalf. The pro -
grain was a good, long and varied
ono aud consisted of choruses, quar-
tettes, duetta, solos and instru
useetals, and was so successfully
taken part in by many of Blyth's
young people that it would be diff
cult for us to make special mention
of any single performer. During a
lull in the program the het watt
passed and a collection of $40.47
realized which will be sent to the
NAilunal Patriotic fu.nd. The cow
curt was a great success, when it is
taken into censideration that it was
suggerited and arranged within '24
hours.
Almost every day now new goods are coming in and the
first of spring stocks are on view in nearly all departments.
This week we are showing
New Prints, New Skirtings, New Sootch
Ginghams, New Laces, New All-over Nets,
New Trimmings, New Golf Capes.
All bright, new, 1900 designs and colorings.

Blyth monthly fair next Tuesday.
Clinton beat Blyth at hockey last
night by a score of 5 to 8.
A company of artists styling them-
selves the Wilson Comedy Co. of
New York will give a performance
in Industry hall on Friday evening
of this week. This company has
been giving entertainments in this
neighborhood for the past two weeks
and, we believe, has met with good
success. The members of the tom-
pany are Mr, and Mrs. Charles Burl -
frig, Miss Mary Pratt, George and
'Erb Smith, and Fred Harrison.
They all belong to Blyth and why
they have dropped their own good
names for that of another and in-
sulted Blyth by substituting New
York is somewhat of a mystery.
However, the company is charitably
inclined as they advertise on the
bills that one-third of the proceeds
will be given to Mr. Alex. Butler
and family. This is a kind act and
we trust they will meet with a good
house. We do not know what kind
of a show they put up but would
advise everybody to go and see fur
themselves.

Rev. A. Grant, uf the St, Marys
Presbyterian church, has two sons
that aro winning fame in the nth
letic world. '1'he Detroit Free Press
makes tiro following reference to
them :—Two uf the most interesting
figures among the college athletes of
today are the bretheti Richard Grant,
of Harvard, and Alex. Grant, uf the
University of Pennsylvania. These
two men are among the beat amateur
dtstance runners in this country.
Their only competitors' are Cregan,
of Princeton, and Orton, of Columbia.
The Grants are natives of St. Maryt
They first attended college at the
University of Toronto, which le site
used 125 miles from their home.
The brothers were working their
way through .401, end on several
occasions when vacations found them
short of money they walked home,
and then Damped built to sehool
when the holidays were over.
While they lived in Canada, Richard,
who is the older of the two, was the
better ranner. He won in nearly
all of their races. Siece they have
been living in this country, and
Alex. has been in the hands of Mike
Murphy, be has proved to be the
better man of the two in the greater
number of their races here. At
their last meeting in Washington,
however, Richard defeated his broth -
or in the twomile special race.
Last summer they ran a dead heat
in a five -mile championship race.
