A Draw Game of Lacrosse.
Quite a number of our citizens gath-
ered in Recreation Park last Friday
evening to witness the Egnlondville
and Clinton juniors try conclusions at
lacrosse. •The game was for the first
half as pretty a slugging match as one
could desire, bait for the last half there
was some good lacrosse. The visitors
had a promising team, but the best
they could do was two to two, so that
honors stand even. Mr. John Kenne-
dy, who knows all the ins and outs of
the game, was referee.

The Popularity of The News -Record.
One of our subscribers, -who was in-
advertently missed by our retries boy
last Thursday, sent in for his copy of
Tug. NEwe-11Econn and remarked
that he would sooner do without his
dinner any Thursday than THE Ni ws-
I3.Fco0il. Another patron in forward-
ing an ad for publication 'said that he
did so because he had "every i'easnu to
believe that it was a, good advertising
medium." Mr. Thos. hillock called in
Monday on his way horse to Stratford
from a visiting trip in Goderich ancl
Ashfield to say that he found
I'HF, NEWS-R1':coit» vastly improved
and was becoming more and more
pleased with it.
Miss Acheson Was Encored, .
Miss Acheson, the violinist, who will
resume her classes here about the first
of next month, was one of the artists
at the Berlin Saengerfest last week and
is thus spoken of by the News -Record
of that town: ---Miss Laura Acheson,
the talented yonng lady from Goderich,
repeated her success of the previous
evening, in her violin solo Masnrka
"Obert.ass". She possesses is wonder f nl
control over her instrument and was
compelled to respond to an enthusiastic
encore. She was chosen as solo and
first violinist in the large orchestra,
which was composed of brilliant artists
from different parts of Canada, and
which took a very prominent part iu
the dif'erent saengerfeste entertain-
ment. Iles sister, Miss Ethel Acheson,
played her accoinpanirnents in faultless
style.

How to Size Them Up.
An exchange says: You can tell the
successful farmer by looking at
his wife's fruiteaus in the clos-
et. You can tell the dry goods
box statesman by the patches on
his pants. You can tell the pois-
on serpent by the bluntness Of his
tail, You can tell the slouchy woman
by her shoe buttons and her hair. But
the easiest of all, you can pick out the
enterprising merchants of a town by
looking at a home newspaper. This is
not revelation, hut it is business gospel.
Illness of An Old Pioneer.
Mr, Robot 1 Welsh received a tele-
gram from Melvin, Mich., Monday con-
veying the sad news that Mr. Peter
Cole was dying and to notify the rela-
tives, Mt'. Welsh did so anti.
Mr. Peter ('ole, .Jr. left for Mel-
vin Tuesday morning. The sick
elan was one of the pioneers of Gode-
rich township and lived hard by the
Methodist (hiltoh which is best known
as "Cole's" and was named after the
family. Mr, Cole has been living in
Mic higan for several years and is now
pretty well up in years.
The Founder of a City.
:Monsieur Cuntigny, who is engaged
in the prodigious task of founding a
city at St. Joseph's on Lake Huron,
was in Clinton twice last week and
was apparently rued taken with the
stathle and progressive appearance of
our town. Monsieur is courtesy itself,
a clever conversationalist and has the
appearance of being a shrewd elan of
business, all of which slakes it the 11101'e
difficult for curious ones to understand
why he persists in a scheme which
from every ane of their ways of look-
ing at, it, seems chimerical. They hope
he may succeed het will persist in
doubting it.
Game At Bowls.
The bowlers defeated two rinks froth
Code' kb quite easily last week, This
(vas on Wt'(lnesdity and on Thursday
they merits many rinks horn Mitchell
and though they won the morning
gams' they concede that that played in
the afternoon would have gone against
them had the rain not interfered to
prevent a finish. Mitchell, though, is a
great town for bowls and has sent two
rinks to the annual tournament of the
Ontario Bowling Association in pro-
gress at Niagara -on -the -Lake this
week. To -morrow Kincardine will
send to the Hub its most skilful players
to try conclusions.
The Tramp Nuisance.
The cheek of the genuine tramp
knows scarcely any bounds, and how
most effectually to deal with him is a
conundrum, In the town he can be
kept within hounds to a great extent,
but along the concessions and sidelines
lie has become a terror. Clinton ]las
been infested with the hobos lately,
and one of theni on Tuesday threw a
ham -sandwich hand-out back at the
good wife who gave it him because it
was not accompanied by a cup of teat.
A family has been camping down at
the London Road bridge for several
days and exists I17 begging. Thesheaul
of the outfit is a big strapping fellow
and looks strong enough for any kind
of work, but refused a job at hod -car-
rying all Tuesday.. Ile came frorn
Wia.rton, he claims, where he was
intent out, and wants to get to Wind-
sor, and has been itnporttming the
town officials for a railway pass to that
place. Were it not for wife and chick
a free ride to the County Castle would
be more in order.
A Seaforth Girl Arrested.
Shortly after noon on Saturday last
Chief Wheatley received word from
Seaforth to arrest a girl of a certain
description and to keep her in charge.
until It constable from that town could
put in en appearance. As was his
duty, the Chief did so, espying the
young woman as she was driving up
Ontario St. on her way horse. lie es-
corted her hack to the hotel and await-
ed the arrival of Constable Gillespie,
who came up in the rousse of the af-
ternoon, and took back the woman and
the horse, which was the cause of her
detention. it was at. simple affair,
much ado about, nothing, and a case of
being altogether loo manly to invoke
the assistance of magistrate and con-
stable. The young woman hired the
horse at one of the Heaf51-th liveries,
to (hive Le Clinton, she claims, 1Iiongh
t ho stable boy says it was for a trip in
another direction. However, she came
to this town in search of employment,
(vas successful and had started hack
without, any undue delay when the
order for her arrest, Came. She didn't
seen mec'h annoyed glom the affair,
t.hongh had many another been in her
place there would have heen tears, pos-
sibly hysterics, and somebody would he
made smart for the arrest.
$4,500 Paid Out.
Cantelon & Wallis paid out $1,5(X) for
hogs last week. This meant about five -
hundred porkers, which were bought
over radius of twenty miles. Though
a fairly good week, this is not high
water mark for C. & W. by any
means.
The Societies Combine Forces.
The Horticultural Society has decided
to join forces with the Agricultural
Society in the holding of a joint exhi-
bition. This is a wise move as neither
one is as strong as it should he, but the
combined wisdom and funds of the two
boards of directots should be able to
evolve a creditable fall fair.
Young, But Eloquent.
Mr. J. 13. Lucas, the Conservative
member for Centre Gray, was the next
speaker, and an effective speaker he
proved to be. Air. Lucas is a very
youthful looking member. One could
be excused for mistaking hint for' a
schoolboy of fourteen or fifteen, until
he had been heard to speak. One soon
forgot the youthful appearance in the
close reasoning and fluent and really
graceful diction of the young Parliuten-
tarlids-Mon treal Star.
S. A. Thanksgiving Service,
Saturday, Sunday, Monday and
Tuesday, August 27, 28, 20, and
31), are the days fixed upon for
the •harvest thanksgiving service in
connection with the Salvation Army,
and the officers and soldiers of the local
corps -are busy scheming and planning
for a special series of meetings for that
occasion. They will endeavor to make
them novel and attractive beyond the
ordinary. A picture, 8x2) feet, painted
by Captain Keeler, will he on exhibi-
tion at these meetings. •

WV. Jackson of the C. P. It. alone sell-

We aro in receipt of a copy of a song
entitled "Canada," the words by Lieut..
R. Skimings and the music by the well-
known and talented composer, Miss
Eloise A. Sktmings of Goderich.
Mr. John Hunter of Clinton, was up
through the township of Kincardine
the past few weeks. He and Alexander
Campbell of Lorne are in partnership,
being engaged in buying lambs to ship
to the British market. Last year they
Whipped three car loadsand pail the
highest market price. This year they
are paying at the rate of 4c per Ib,
which is certainly a very fair figure for
lambs. At 4 cents per lb. lamb raising
should prove a very profitable industry.

Apple King Cantelon
ESTIMATES THAT 75,000 BARRELS
OF APPLES WILL BE SHIPPED
FROM HURON THIS FALL.
3L'. David Cantelon, perhaps beat
known its the " Huron Apple King,"
has begun the season well, shipping
this week seven carloads of the Duch-
ess variety, fora' carloads to Liverpool,
one to Philadelphia and two to Mani-
toba. These will go froth Goderich,
Clinton, Illyth,Seafort.h and Teeswaler
stations.
The Apple King will operate
tluis season in Kent, Waterloo a11(1
Huron counties and already has a large
number of buyers out. Among those
who will act for hit11 in this county are;
John Porter, Goderich ; John Tor
ranee, Pot ter's Hill ; Leuty, Carlow ;
Louis Taylor, tiile; John Wilford,
Blyth ; Albert Anderson, Stanley ;
Jas. McMichael, Seaforth; while Joshua
Cook, W. H. Cook, Arthur ('oolc, and
Harry Cole will have roving commis-
sions.
Mr. Cantelon estimates there will be
75,000 barrels of apples for export from
Huron this fall, as colmpaltal with a
total output last season of 10,00 barrels.
The best yield, though, will he in Essex
and Kent ; each county will market
100,000 barrels.
Speaking of the yield in the province

fr nit.The Latest Latest Swindle.
The Toronto police hold 8 warrant
for Ismail who, under the name of W.
A. Chase, alias Mitfoi'd, has been
swindling Eastern tinted() llotclkeep-
ers out of struts ranging from $1.75 to
$3.50 each. Chase, or Mitford,.shipped
packages supposed to contain watches,
addressed to himself at the hotels, 0. u.
d., and the proprietors, under the belief
that he would arrive at their houses
within at couple of days, paid the
charges, which as -the consignee-- he
collected at the Toronto express office.
This swindle was tried upon one of
Clinton's hotelkeopers this week, but it
failed to work and the article sent still
lies in the express office with a two
dollar charge against it. It purports
to be a watch, but is likely enough a
piece of lead.
