BASE BALL.—Last week there was a
base ball game and fout bicycle races
on the Agricultural Bark. The ball
game was interesting on account of
the many new players who took part,
and the cycle races were well contested.
The first bicycle race was a half -mile
handicap, Alex. McIvor coming in first
and McLeod second. The one -mile open
was won by the same riders, Melvor
taking lot and McLeod 2nd. A half -mile
novice was won by Fred Galloway,
Colin Campbell being second, and the
tandem, one -mile, fell to McIvor and
Galloway, Hillier and Johnston being
the only other entry.
SUMMER VISITORS. -The town never
had more summer visitors within its
hounds than it has to -day, and the ad-
joining resorts are also fairly tenanted.
Of course Goderich is not a cheap re-
sort, as all who wish to enjoy its beau-
tiful streets, parks, bathing, boating,
etc., have to nay fairly for the. privil-
leges offered, for in this town there
are no three dollar a week resorts for
American or Canadian millionaires.
Nevertheless our rates are as low as
they can be for the hoard and accom-
modation given and we are pleased to
be able to state that our visitors are
ahead of any former year.
MORE Hoxons.-For several years
Miss Eloise A. Skimings, the well-
known authoress of "Golden Leaves,"
has been in the habit of giving a prize
to the pupil from the town school tbat
obtained the biahest standing in Eng.
lish at the High School Entrance ex-
amination. This year the prize, a
handsome framed picture of the Queen,
has fallen to Master Frank W. Ed-
wards, who obtained 75 per cent. of
the marks for English grammar, com-
position and literature. The Board of
Examiners take this opportunity to
express publicly their appreciation of
Miss Skimmings liberality, and their
hope that the example will stimulate
others to offer some encouragement to
young students to seek to excel in
their studies.

BASE BALL.—Last week there was a
base ball game and fout bicycle races
on the Agricultural Bark. The ball
game was interesting on account of
the many new players who took part,
and the cycle races were well contested.

handicap, Alex. McIvor coming in first
and McLeod second. The one -mile open
was won by the same riders, Melvor
taking lot and McLeod 2nd. A half -mile
novice was won by Fred Galloway,
Colin Campbell being second, and the
tandem, one -mile, fell to McIvor and
Galloway, Hillier and Johnston being
the only other entry.
SUMMER VISITORS. -The town never
had more summer visitors within its
hounds than it has to -day, and the ad-
joining resorts are also fairly tenanted.
Of course Goderich is not a cheap re-
sort, as all who wish to enjoy its beau-
tiful streets, parks, bathing, boating,
etc., have to nay fairly for the. privil-
leges offered, for in this town there
are no three dollar a week resorts for
American or Canadian millionaires.
Nevertheless our rates are as low as
they can be for the hoard and accom-
modation given and we are pleased to
be able to state that our visitors are
ahead of any former year.

wards, who obtained 75 per cent. of
the marks for English grammar, com-
position and literature. The Board of

young students to seek to excel in
their studies.
