Model toxin excursion not attracting more of the older members of thefarrn, ing-corinnunity. .

The lawn was well lighted with Chinese lanternsaind a very enjoyable evening was spent in gamesanusic,eto. A dainty lunch was served at theclose, Miss Nettie proving herself a charming and entertaining hostess. Those pre - pent front ontside points were :-- Miss Cook, Milton • Mr, and Miss Cook, Streetsyille ; Mr. McArthur and Miss Murdock, Heneall, and Miss Gibson, Paisley. There were some thirty at the gathering and Miss Houston was pianist. „ or,osED WITH A TEMPERANCE LECTURE. -At the close of the tieft match between the Canadian Bowling team in England and the Crescent Club, of London, Eng., in which. the _Canadians lifere defeated, they %vete' entertained' by the Lord Mayor. In proposing the toast of the visitors, which was drank with tee, stated "that no doubt many would think the occasion warranted champagne or whisker,but he would advise them that the less strong drink touched the more likely were they to win matches." We must say this was rather a hard slap, for we do not think for one moment, that our boys were loaded the first game, although an inference may be taken from the remarks. A TEN DAYS' TRIP,-,Tornorrow. (Saturday) Messrs. Hovey and °ante: Ion leave for Indianapolis to enter the great American shoot which' takes place next week. At this affair they will come in contest with the world's best shooters, some of those who have assisted in Planing down Eng- land's crack shots; for thePaltna trophy. However. we feel that Clinton's Gun °lab will be honorably upheld and our townsmen, who will represent us at this great gathering, will not be com- pelled to relinquish their good 'records which have hitherto been theirs wher- ever they hare Shot. Before returning theywill take in Chicago andthe great fair at St. Louis. Here's to success and that a pleasant ten days' outing ynay be NO' GAME.- -Very poor sportman- Ship is displayed by some clubs; endive are not too severe when we say that Listowel showed this spirit in a mean, contemptable way last Friday, in not - putting in an appearance at the game scheduled to be played. in that town with the Strathconas ot Clinton. IT it was not their intention to _play this germs a telegram costing 25c would have saved a great deal of expense and inconvenience to the visiting club and to their employers who were indulgent enough to allow them the day off IVe can only come te one conclusion in re- ference to their act, and that is their first game of the season with Winghani a few days previous was such an utter failure that it.made them ashamed to meet with a second. defeat. Their score was 0-0. • • THE SEASON CLOSED FOR THE TERM. The Clinton -- Woodstock Collegiate football game that was scheduled tO be played, next Saturday has been declared off owing to the too dose' proximity of the exams, all the time between now and the end of June being necessary to prepare for then?. It would be unfair forthe eirecotive to force this genie on Clinton's club at this late date. It lies been is weekly occurrence 'since the snow left us for at match to be played, most of these on -Saturday,- asdays-thatsstudents-utilize- for home study, but this 'term it has been destroyed. As citizens we have enjoyed the royal battles fought for control ot the Hough Cap. They have clone nobly, and we -regret the thought that tour of its members will be lost to us after this term, but they will carry with them to their newlieldwastudy, the est respect and good wishes of e love ef this game. GRAD"( TED - We are always pleased to 1 aria of former citizens dis- tinguishin: themseves no Matter where their lot nia.y be cast. This week we received a'copy, of the Fargo, -317D;;Call;"Whieliseblitannat the account of a gradesatin-eXereise in- which Catherine Me urchy,, the youngest 'daughter of 'WM. MalurcliYstoiiiierly Of Clinton. received a scholarship of the Northwestern University,of Evans- ton, Ills. It further says ;-"Miss Catherine Florence McMurchy, the class valedictorian, delivered an able address which was full of thought and high ideals for the Mute life of the class and the character and propels of the undergraduates. The address was delivered in a clear, well modulated voice and was mist interesting to all." We congratulate this young lady, who 'is known to tnatiy of Mon her success, and hope she may live long so that the high ideals she has expressed, will be stronger ,exemplifted by noble actions. NOW A B.A.-Mr C. L. Fisher was in Toronto last week attending the Convocation exercises in connection with thelbuyersity of Toronto. While there the magic words were spoken oyer his head, the ermine was cast about his shoulders and he arose from, the feet of the President an alumnus of the University. The functions in connection with Convocation this year Were particularly brilliant,the weather of last week being ideal for the pro- duction of the pastoral plays, ,"As you Like It" and "Midsummer Night's Dream," by Ben Greet and his Com - patty. The Breakfast at the Chan- cellor's, the Garden Party on Friday afternoon and the Banquet on Friday evening were pronounced the most brilliant and successful of pears. At Convocation itself proegedings were- kei it lively in the usual student fashion, which can only he appreciated b those who have seen several hundre in their merriest rollicking mood. A PRETTY JUNE BRIDE, --:-Un- attended, and in the presence of a few immediate relatives and friends, Mar- garet Ella, the pretty girlish daugh- ter of Mr. riaid Mrs. Finlay McEwen became the bride of Herbert W. Alex- ander; son of Wm. Alexander, on Wednesditas at high noon. Rev. Dr. Stewart said the mystic words which united them for life, The trousseau of the bride was comprised of many frpretty gowns, waists, etc.; her bridal costninebeing voile, going -away dresa of blue. The young couple left on a honeymoon trip to Detroit and Toledo on the 4.15. The gifts were beautiful and well selected, which testified of the goodwill and . esteem they bear, from a host of friends. me NEW ERA wishes them all joy, and a' happy journey together through life. GALT-CLINTON GAME.- GA4E.- When the centre player of the Galt team kicked Off the ball lastSaturday after- noon, the pretty combination that was worked by. thenfrom left to right down to Clinton's half back line, nude Clinton's hopes of success look slim, but the impregnable half hacks were not to be passed and the ball was sent back to Galt's goal, where it remained a good ,part of the time. Clinton was. held down to 1 the first half with wind in their favor, although many kicks Were made on the goal, but were shot wild or stopped by the goal keener who was an expert. Once they had a penalty kick within eight feet of goal, but it didn't get any nearer than that, for McKinnon rushed at it, and the ball put in centre field. Corner kicks were plenty for the home team, but the combination failed to tally, and Galt saw very few. Galt was more honeful on the turn, having the wind with them, but the C.C. L only played the stronger and scored another goal. Oiir boys never did better in field work but on goal, were' kicking high. Galt's little Man on the centre was a whole show in himself and did good work and their centre half back never missed a chance, taking the ball with ' him whenever it came near hini. In this game we have met our strongeet fee, and we have no tear Of What is to come next terMf MORE HONOURS. -The Class Lists of the University of Toronto contains additional results in which several Ulintonians are interested, C. L. Fisher and W. A.

RACE MEETING AT LISTOWEL. -The large purses given at Listowel, nine harness races of $500 each and three runs of $200 each, four races each day, has attracted an unusually large entry list of fast horses, and that the meet will be the best ever held in this section of Ontario is already as - mired. The enterprise of the As- sociation in giving purees large enough to bring together at Listowel the best Canadian and American horses will be sure to be appreeiated by a large at- tendance. The dates are Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday next week, June 21, 22 and 23, NOTES FROM CAMP. -From the camp at London to the cove ranges, whole gun practise is held for the vol- unteers, is five miles. Capt. Oombe's company, Which le comprised mostly . of our own boys, together with other companies of the 33rd, was slated for range work on Friday, the day of -the circus. The work they had to do be- fore returning was to fire 250 rounds of ammunition at three different ranges. They left camp at 2 p. ne. and were back before seven, making the' return five miles in 48 minutes. The boys ac- quitted themselves with honor, both on March and at shooting, many of them never having had a gun in their hands before, made good scores it the short, range. Chas. Tisdall met with a slight injury while firing his rifle. Not holding his gun firm to his should- er when firing, it kicked, and Charlie got the force of the blow on the nose, a,brasing the skin, which slightly dis- figured his trine, COMPLIMENTARY "RE MARKS. The Signal of DLit week says the fol- lowing complimentary remarks about our townsmen who are in business in that town :-"Ilodgens . Bros.:. have made a nunober of alterations and im- provements to their Goderich store during the past six nienths, especially during the last two or three weeks. The cashier's desk has been removed from its former position near the stair - ray to the rear of the store, and con- nected with it are cash carriers from the various departments, greatly faeilitating the ' making of change.

Between forty and fifty ladies were present' most of the afternoon, and many good things were said and clone, that will prove of ser- vice to the up-to-date house wife or young lady, who is contemplating matrimony. Miss Jessie Ilillsfroronto) talk on foodand cleinonitrations in cuts ot beef and methods of cooking dainty dishes was most interesting, and were not exhibited in vain for many of the receipts were copied, and samples sabmitted, delicious and tasty. Practical Hints on Home. Nursing was handled by Miss Miller with a great deal of thought and her points made clear. Sheis fully conversantavith_he • subject and is practical. This same lady closed the afternoon's doing with an appeal for the • formationof an Institute in towns She was unsudbess- ful however but left good food for thought along those lines that may, be- fore long, bring forth fruit for her labors. Both of these young ladies are clever and interesting speakers with attractive personalities, CANTELON vs. GRAND TRUNK RAILWAY.- This was one of the cases set down for trial at the sittings of the County Court this week butwas settled out of court. About ayear ago Messrs.-Cantelon Bros. solda quantity -of-butter tosa-sfirrn-in-Halifax- and shipped it from a station on the G. T. R. to thisseomitys sTcr protect- them-. s selves they took the Bill of. Lading in their own name (instructing the Rail- way to advise the purchasers) wed sent it to Halifax thiough the bank attach- ing a draft on the purchasers for the amount of the price so that the draft must be paid before the purchasers could get the butter. By some error on the part of the Railway Company's agents the butter was delivered to the purchasers without the order ,of Oen- telon 'Bros. and without the Bill ofLad- ing and then the purchasers resisted payment. Messrs. Cantelon demanded settlement for the butter frbin the G. T. R. claiming that through the mis- take made they were entitled to dam- ages to that extent. The Esilway Company denied liability, hence the suit. Medsrs. Cantelon are happily able to say that the Company has paid their claim practically in full with all costs sethat they have suffered no less except in having to wait for their money. John Bell, K. C., was solicitor for the Railway Co. and Mr. Brydone, town, for -Messrs. Cantelon. • ENJOYING BOWLING. --The offi- cers of the 33rd in their spare moments have been enjoying a game of bowls with civilians and officers of the Lon. don club.
