Mr. J. S. Jackson returned Monday from Toronto whither he went Friday. While in the city he heard Dan Godfrey's band, but has not since gone into raptures over it, Wog rather of the opin- ion that while as soloists the Godfreys have no superiors, yet as an aggre- gation they are scarcely up to what Gilrnore's baud was or Sousa's is.

Holmes, who is now comfortably domiciled in St. Paul, Minnesota, and apparent- ly charmed by the twin city, so much so that he suggests if Mr. Hodgens can find time for a holi- day this summer, St. Paul would be a very good place to spend it. He states that while church going is all very well for the average citizen in the a.m., the ball games are better attend- ed in the afternoon and the theatres de- cidedly so in the evening. These lat- ter two proclivities he does not, however, enter upon the list of attrac- tions held out to his Clintdfi friends. THE NEWS-Rircoun bad a wee bit chat with several members of the Car- berry team which played in Clinton Monday afternoon, among the number Fred. W. Heckel!, the business mana- ger. and W. Williams, manager of the team. The former is editor and proprietor of the Carberry Express and like the average newspaper men can never speak too highly i f the town in which his lot is cast. There is no place better than Carberry for him. Mr. Williams is an old Huron boy, a native of Usborne. He went west seventeen years ago, a lad in knicker- bockers, and when he landed in Por- tage la Prairie his capital consisted of health, energy and four dollars and fifty cents in l:anadian currency. 1 -Ie has done well since then and advises young men, to whom the future does •not appear any too bright in Ontario, to go west and grow up with the coun- try.
