The Collegiate Institute sports .on Friday last were a great success, rank - as one of the best days of sports in the •history of the institution. Our school, largely through the efforts of • Dr, Shaw, •decicledl in 1894 to hold annually a day of sport and commence- ment exercises and for sonae yeate these were held on the same day. . Of late years, however, .on account of the greatnumber of events, it has been found quite impossible to hold both oti the same day ond. a Friday early in the •terns has been selected for Field Day while the commencement exercises have been postponed to November. oth events have become quite pope - lar and this year e large number of the friends �f the school attended to show their interest in the • boys and were rewarded by seeing many closely con- tested. events, Naturally the subject of greatest importance is the winning .of the championship. John W. • Whiddon of 13ayfield.was the popular winner of this distinction with eleven points to his credit,while R,Helyar and R. King ranked second with six points each. The championship cup is new an object of interest. In '91 it was presented by the Board and Staff and was first put up for competition, being won by p. H. McKinnon, who has since proved himself a strong athlete at Varsity. Nextyear 3. E. Holmes • was champion and in '90and '97 H. Switzer held his own against the strongest competition, • In •'98 A. Martin not onlywon the .champion- ship but also in the university examina- tions., the second scholarship. in classics and .mathematics. • Since then P. Baird '99 and A.

On Sunday last death invaded tbe home of Mr. james Reid. and bore away his son Frank, a bright lad of ten summers, The little fellovs was quite strong until he contracted measles about a year ago which fin- ally developed into consumption that Idefied all attempts at cure and caused his death at so early an age. The fun- eral took place on Tuesday to Clinton cemetery, the services at house and grave being conducted. by Rey, J. 0 • Dunlop. The bereaved househo)d has the sympathy of many friends in their time of affliction and sorrow. ' Taken on a Lieu Note. • • There was considerable excitement in and about the creamery on Monday last, A London firm sent up men to move the engine and boiler froin the building and ship them to the city, The- company bad not received .pay - meat for the machinery and having • them. covered, by a lieu note sought to take poisession. 'Mayor Jackson, however, heard about it and, in the •interests of the town, _which owns the building, he forbade the men to re- move the engine and boiler until some arrangement had been arrived at. 4, truce was Made, during which Con- stable Weigh remained on guard, but finally the company wasallowed to take' the geode, The W.

The annual harvest thanksgiving seryices in connection with St. Paul's church were held on Sunday last and were very instructive and successful, The Rey. J. C. Farthing, M. A:, of St Paul's church, Woodstock, occupied the pulpit .at both the morning and evening services and also addressed the Sunday school in the afternoon.. The large congregations present, many • of whoni listened to Mr. Farthing for • the first time, were favorably impress- ed with his interesting and eloquent discourses. • In the morning Mr. Farthing preached from Psalm 116-17 and in the evening front I Timothy 2-4 and the closest attention was given. his remarks, The church was roost beautifully decorated with flowers, fruite, and grain and the ladies of the congregation deserve great credit for their ,tasteful arrangement of colors and designs. The whole ihterloi of the church, but especially the chancel, gave a very pleasing and artistic effect, Special music appropriate for the occasion was rendered by tho choir. The offertory was the largest for many years and will likely be still further increasedby the offerings of those who were unable to. be present, The Duke Will See the Hurons. The Huron Regiment will mobilize in Clinton\ on TileSda, forenoon next, The Companies from the north will come down by the morning train, the Exeter Company will arrive by the 10.10 express and the Dungannon and Goderich Companies about the same time. A special train will tonvey them to the city. The review will take place on Friday so the Regiment is not expected home until Saturday, • /5 is said that Colonel Varcoe 18 not atoll pleased •because the Regiment has been ordered to Mobilize in the Hub and in his displeasure threatened to •resign. • It is not at all likely, though, that he will do so, It is some- what difficult to understand why the commanding officer should wish to incur unnecessary expense by hauling the men to one corner of the county on any such occasion as this. Time and expense are both economised by making Clinton the rallying point. Herein are two reasons, why the armoury should be located here, The two Companies which have headquarters; at Clinton have been drilling for the pastfortnight and have now rerrehed a high state of efficiency. They can go through the different evolutions without a hitch, so much so that it is expected they will rank as first and second of the Hurons in m- ole* before the Duke, This pleasing state of affairs is owing to the military epirib of Captains Combe and Shaw, who have devoted time and energy to drilling their Companies, Sergeant Webb has assisted them. The Clinton Companies will at. tend divine service in St, Paul's church next Sunday forenoon when the rector will preach a sermon apprepriate to the oetamion. The choir which, under Mr. Latornell's leadership and with Miss Hadley as organist, hos become very °indent, will render choice music.

The offering was liberal and is for assistance to Sunday schools, ha pioneer settlements and for the schemes of the Church. . The Millinery Openings. • • The ladies who are the best judges, the only capable judges of such things they will, no doubt, insist, say that at their millinery openings the enterpris- ing houses of Messrs. Hodgens and Newcombe's surpassed themselves. These establishments are strictly up-to- date and the pretty,attractivehats and bonnets to be seen there are such as are on view in the centres of fashion from whence the styles emanate, If a Clinton milliner cannot please you,fair reader, you will, indeed, be hard to suit for our • milliners are artists, Their creations combine an elegance of material and " perfect effects that have only to be seen to be appre- ciated.

These young ladies are popu- lar with the patrons of the establish- ment whom they have catered to so satisfaetorily in the past, At Newcombe's Miss Sterch, who is in charge, is to be congratulated upon the splendid display made on opening days which was very much a.drnired.

Rattenbury St. League Anniversary. • Notwithstanding the • unfavorable weather on Sunday last very suceess- f al anniversary pervices were held in the Rattenburychurch in connection with the Epworth Leagoe, Rev.Karii Bradshaw fully justified all that had been said in his favor and delivered twovery powerful andeloquent sermons,besides giving a very interest- ing address to the school in the after- . noon. His morning sermon was along missionary lines and had direct refer- ence to the efforts that are put forth by the members of this League toward the support of the missionary, Revs Mr. Stone, who is being sustained by She young people's societies in Goder- ich District, The afternoon address Was on. character building, With the new Wesley church as an object less- on. All who were present enjoyed'the remarks which were made. • In the evening Mr. Bradshaw too lt tor his subject "Oourage,"shovving how rieceS- sary it was as a qualification for effect- ive . work along Christain Endeavor lines. The Sunday school choir,' under the leadership of Mr.Tanney,furnished She music at both gervicee.

The alter and pulpit were very. tastefully. dec. orated for the oceasion with . palms, ferns, cut flowers, etc., making the old building look quite bright and cheerfel. This is in all probability' the last anniversary which will be held in the old Rattenbury church and the young people are looking forward with edi- fice to commencing work in the new cbureh in the course of a ' very few months. At the same time regret will be felt at leaving the old •church so dear to all .on account of happy memories and associations. Mr. Thomas A.
