Mr. Tony Schrenk had to buy the best part of a set of harness this week, his own having been stolen from hie stable Friday night last. He missed them Saturday morning but for a day or so supposed some one or other of bis numerous acquaintances had bor- rowed them without Ars much as "by your leave" but would return them in due time. However, when Monday rolled around and yet no harnpp Tony had to make up his mind that even if borrowed it had all the ap- pearance of a cede of keeps. - Promenade Concert In the Rink. The Clinton Cricket Club's big enter- tainment in the new rink•on Wednes- day evening next promises to be the biggest event of the season and will no doubt meet with the success it deserves as they have gone to a big expense in the engagement of the Toronto orches- tra and the well known comedian, Mr. W. E. Ramsey, as well as Mrs. Ram- eey, pianist. The result of our last celebration goes to show that it pays to give a big figure for attractions, that people will turn out to. And while they are paying a big price to put on this programme, they are also mak- ing the admission so low that no one will have the excuse to stay away on the latter account and as the new rink will accommodate a big crowd we be- lieve that the committee are wise in making a low charge and will make- up by an increased attendance. Refreshments of all kinds will be serv- ed during the evening.• Ogle Cooper Married Last Evening. Mr. Ogle Cooper, one of our best known, most popular and successful business men, was married last evening to Miss Nettie Clark, the wedding taking place at the residence of the bride's brother, Mr. J. T. Clark, 52 Mackenzie Crescent, Toronto. The ceremony was performed by Rev. • Dr. MacDonald, of Seaforth, in the presence of only im- mediate friends of the contracting parties. - Miss M. Clark, sister of the bride, was bridesmaid, with Mr. A. J. Morrish as groomsman. After the ceremony Mr. and Mrs. Cooper left for Detroit and other Western poiuts where they will spend the honeymoon. They will return to Clinton next Tues- day and take up their residence on_. Maple St. THE NEWS -RECORD joins the numerous friends of the hap- py couple in extending congratulations and good wishes. The 33rd Battalion Goes to Camp. There was a bright scene at the depot on Tuesday afternoon when the Companies of the 33rd Battalion rendezvoued and left by special train for London where they went under canvas that evening. The Bat- talion was about its full strength, but it is yet armed with the old Infield rifle which was discarded a couple of 'years since by most of the infantry and is regarded as an obsolete weapon. The Clinton Company presented a neat and natty appearance and the officers appeared to be satisfied that they would give' a geed account of themselves in Camp. The boys -none of them have reached the dignity of a beard— were About uniform in size and the only Compaq of the whole 33rd -with new outfits, The new tuniesare an improvement ever the old. They are of serge instead of the eddendash- ioned cloth, ;have small buttonat.-and patch pockets. The Company is thir- ty-three strong and officered by Cap- tain Combe and Lieutenants Spooner and Bruce. The Captain is now well on in the order of promotion, if we mistake not only three stand between him and the majority. He joined the fotce as a bugler in 1881 when only midway in his teens and has invari- ably • accompanied. the 83rd to Camp over since. Lieutenant Spooner, , is well known' as one of the best looking c f the rd's officers had one of its crack rifle shots. Lieutenant Bruce is .now far the first time under canvas With the Enron Infantry, but in years gone by aecornpanied the red coats of Grey t6 the historic camping ground at Old Niagara.

They Raked The Resta. James Sturgeon and Robt. Elliott, both of Bayfield, wal ked"across from the breezy village Tuesday and raked the road clear of stones as they came. They did so at the instance of Mr. J. C. Miller, who has an eye to the popu- larity of that summer resort and is booming it in a variety of ways. The cyclists will most appreciate the total absence of stones from} this favorite run of theirs. The Price of June Cheese Advancing. The price of cheese is very low but there seems a prospect.of it advancing and thus enabling the factories to make a better showing for June. The May make has been selling for from 61 to 7 3/16, the latter price being ob- tained by the Holmesville and Kin-_ hurne factories for their white cheese, the colored going eget the even seven cents.. The sales were made, by Reeve Connolly, who attended the London Exchange last week. A Note to the Public. p It is expected that a ,great deal of the work now imposed upon the dead - letter office may be obviated if the pub- lic will pay attention to the request which the postofficedepartment is making by means of posters at all the postoffices, asking that the name and address of the writer or sender shall be placed on the upper left hand cor- ner of .all envelopes or wrappers. If this is done, the postmaster will at once communicate with the sender, in- stead of sending the letter to the dead - letter office. In addition to the sav- ing in time and labor,• the ptiblic would in this way be relieved of the unpaid postage charges now made for the re- turn of small matters through the dead -letter office. A Big Crowd Heard Godfrey. An audience which had paid some nine -hundred and seventy odd dollars for seats assembled at Goderich Mon- day evening to bear the Godfrey band. Of this number about one -hundred and forty went/rout the Huls,, one -hun- dred and twenty-five going up by the evening train alone. Seaforth also sent a goodly number, but from the north there were very few more than a score, so that the promoters would be somewhat at a loss on that special train which ran to Wingham at mid- night. Still the receipts ought to per- mit of a surplus for the Musical Society under whose auspices the con- cert was given. The expenses; how- ever, were heavy, as Godfrey got five - hundred dollars and a percentage. The audience appeared to be well pleas- ed with the concert, and waxed rather enthusiatic over the rendering of patriotic airs. Presentation to J. J. Allen and O. Cooper. "When they do it, they do it well." This is a motto evidently adopted by the young men of the town in all their undertakings and on Friday evening last was thoroughly exemplified in its fullest manner. As darkness closed in upon the day there Assembled at the Rattenbery House a number of the friends of J=. J. Allen and Ogle Cooper to celebrate the event . of their being joined in the • bonds of matrimony. Mr. Brydone, being chairfnan, invited the company to" partake of luncheon which w, as laid out in picnie'•fashion by Host Rattenbury, who is an artist. esesprea.e Of this kind, knowing exactly `what `tickles the palate of" his patrons at that hour of the night. The chairman, on asking- the attention of the company, Stated three it., wee a pleasure to show their- appreciatpn to their gueatat in such a, manner that he hoped would long be remiembered by them and while they were passing from the ranks. of bachelordony to join the happy,thronglpf.benedicts, he hoped to have as many opportunities In the tutuY'e as he has had in the past of seeing thorn and enjoying their eompan y. Mr.;Andrew Poilterneatttootl the floor, briefly epoketo the oecatiou, and on bedsit of their' friends and ids- utoa;iates, presented Mr, Allen and 11Ir. Clopper each With a couch. The re. eipientt thanked their friends kitrdly for the mariner In which they :respect- ed there, at the same tithe a*pressing; their aurprise to dee so many* young men of the town eseeeent to horror ahem. All those present, one by bile, iiiade ihany remarks bearing on the Odeaslion as a pleasing otme, and after it vote of thanks had been tendered to the chairman, and Mr,itattet;ibr ry for the l iianfler he had served. the ItMelleofi, the eeitit>^pany dispeiee d well please with,the evening's programme, The Woodmen Appoint Organisers. At the meeting of the Board of Managers of the Woodmen of the World, held in tendon last week, it was decided to push the organization iu Manitoba and a number of experi- e ced men will be appointed for that inkrpose. The Order is making remark- able progress in this province and ,equal success is anticipated in the West. The lower provinces have not yet been opened up. President vs. Past President Cricket Match. The cricketers are experiencing difficulty in getting on matches with outside teams and as yet have no dates arrauged, so have bad to resort to local matches. Last Thursday it was President ve. Past President and the former won- by twenty-one runs, the score standing 66 to 45. Neither T. Jackson Jr., nor Alex. Armstrong pretend to be active cricketers nowa- days, but their interest in the sport is not less keen than' in years gone•by. Garden Party at St. Paul's. The annual garden party in connec- tion with St. Paul's 'church will be held on the Rectory grounds next Monday evening. Owing to the ab- sence of several members of the town band, the`band from Goderich has been engaged for the occasion. The grounds will be beautifully illuminated with colored electric lights. A first-class gramaphone has been secured which Will give selections during the evening and a thoroughly enjoyable time will be spent. Come and bring your friends. Will Not Play Until After Church. For some time the 'town churches hays rather complained of the playing of the SalvatioreArmy brass band dur- ing the hours of service, but as noth- ing was said about it the S. A. were not probably aware of the existence of any grievance. However, THE Nnws- RECORD took upon itself to mention the matter to Captain Keeler yesterday and he at once agreed that there should be no loud music until eight o'clock. His hearty compliance was the best of evidence that he wishes to cooperate with the churches rather than' run foul of them. Clinton Defeats Seaforth. The Hub's junior lacrosse teem open- ed the season brilliantly last Friday when they defeated Seaforth team to the tune of four to one. The game was a good one and won on its merits. The teams were composed of the fol- lowing players :.— Seaforth—G. Bell, Ward, Willis, Hewes, McKay, Hayes, Cline, C. Bell, Hertery, Weir, Morrison, Broadfoot. Clinton—B. Dayment, W. Whitely, P. Couch, N. Fitzsimons, J. Clar- ridge, H. Gordon, A. Shepperd, E. Dayment, W. McMurray, P. Mathe- son, A. Cook, W. Armstrong. A SOIL Light Dynamo At the O. P. Mr. F. J. Parsons, Toronto, repre- senting the Canadian General Electric Co., Peterborough, was in town the past week placing machinery, bought ;from his firm by W. Doherty & Co. in- cluding a five -hundred light, compound - wound, Edison dynamo and two pre- mier motors of 8 and 10 h. p. The whole system, is controlled by a switch board in the engine room. Mr, Rarsone says the Doherty factory will be electrically as well-equipped as any like industry in the province. He knows of none better and many not at all equal to it. So much more for W. D. Carberry A Thriving Town. Carberry, ,Man., has accomplished what few towns of one -thousand popu., lation would care to undertake, viz, send.a football team on a tour "through a distant province at what must be considerable` expense. To help the boys foot the hill the town itaielf reeled by by subscription five -hundred dollars; which was further supploment*d by Winnipeg. Their team, the Maple Leafs, is composed with two exceptions of residents of Carberry, .though of the whole thirteen, including business manager and :pare man, only one is a Manitpban by birth. Carberry is great on football and for the last two years has held the chatnpionehip of the pro- vince, but is no doubt better off in that respect nowthan it Will be until an- other generation comes to the front, a* with several of the players this tour ie the wind-up of their football career. Carberry ought tg indivectiy benefit by the trip, which is undoubtedly adverb using it to a conslderable extent, more esped Illy as else players neglect no op. pcrinesty patting its a good word d for the west, This is, of course, characteristic b 'v teiaterners and ex• petted.

Clinton Te$ Lro. The juniorMitchell lacrosAtseacteassem drove to Mitchell Tuesday p.m. for a game with the local club which resulted in a tie, one to one. While the boys are not at all complaining they tray they were rather outclassed as regard size and weight. The players consisted of:— Mitchell—G. Becker, R, Jones, N. Davidson, F. McLearn, S. Stewart, L. Whitey, E. Hicks, E. Coppin, P. Babb P. Stewart, J. Frazer, Davis, Clinton—W. Whitely, P. Couch; A.. Cook, E. Dayment, P. Mathewson, N. Fitzsimons, H. Gordon, E. Bowers, W. McMurray, A. Sheppard, W. Arm- strong, J. Clarridge, Carberry Won Prom Clinton. • The unfavorable- weather prevented a large crowd witnessing the football match in the Park Monday p.in. be- tween the touring Maple Leafs, of Carberry, Man., and the Hub's eleven. The rain while keeping people away also made the ground slippery and tumbles were numerous. The game was a well -contested one and won by the visitors by a score of two to none. Individef"ally the Clinton's team were quite enough for their 'opponents, but they lacked combination in which the 'Maple Leafs excelled. This was the fourth game of the series for the Car- herrys, none of which they had lost. Tuesday they defeated Seaforth three to one, rather a surprise to the know- ing ones. Littio Locals.
