Al. a meeting of' the Public school
hoard •held on Thursday last, Miss
M. O'Neil, who has been a member of
• the, teaching staff for twenty-five
years, tendered her resignation, whi-
ch was reluctantly. accepted. Miss
1 O'Neil is an excellent teacher and
pupils and board alike regret that
she has decided to retire.
The board considers there should
be a cement sidewalk along the west
side of the ground And will request
the cotincil to build one.
Some Months ago 'a scale of salar-
ies was .fixed, but it has apparently
• been found unworkable for at this
meeting it was modified regarding the
second division in which the initial
salary is now $350.
Principal Lough reported as fol-
lows : "I have very little to report
tonight. We commenced our duties
this morning with a fair attendance
of pupil's. I have a class of thirty-
four Model students, and will probab-
ly have another on Tuesday. This
will be like last year one of the lar-
gest classo in. the `province."

CLINTON BEATS STRA,TFORD.
The first game in the Semi -Finals
was played in Seaforth on Friday
last between• Stratfords and Str-
athconas of . on, each champion
in their own • ict, and the result
showed Clinton team to be in a dif-
ferent class entirely. Much had been.
expected of the Stratfords, they hair-
, ins defeated tall teams in • their dis-
trict wfth apparent ease and as they
had the sympathy of SeafOrth and
Mitchell spectators they promised to
• fulfil their admirers' wishes but ere
long their fondest hopes were shat-
tered and at half time the. score was
4 to 0 Clinton's favor with Strat-
ford all in. They had gone 1 their
limits for in the. next quarter Clinton
put in 6 goals, In this quarter Str-
atford scored °nee, III the fourth
quarter rain fell in torrents and
both teams contented themselves in
playing rag to kill time. Every
man in Clirttoh team distinguished
himself in some part ,of *the genie.
It was the persistent team play that
wen. Almost every man on Chiltern
team was cut in the face or head and
scarcely one of the Stratfords got a
mark, so it can be seen which team
played respectable lacrosse. Brown
.Iackson Was ' the referee and dealt
out pretty even sentences to the
players, though 'Clinton got the
worst of it generally, partieularly

• At the conclusien • of Mr. Rens-
ford's speech, which. Was read by
that gentleman, Rev. Mr. Greene
asked that an opportunity be ,given
for reply. ".There was no seerecYr
ttboet • the first petition, everybody,
knew about it and when presenting it
to you we did not object to any
person replying to our spokesinan.".
Mr. •Ransford objected to the oppo-
sition being beard.
Rev. Dr. Stewart said Mr; Bam-
ford misrepresented the first petition.
It was not a petition for Local
Option, it was merely a request that
the people be allowed, to speak, The
second petition asks you to muzzle
the people,
IViayor Hoosier, however, interposed
and cut short the discussion, which
he decided was out of order.
• Without any further debate the fol-
lowing resolution was unanimously,
adopted:
Moved by B. J. Gibbinga, seconded
by J. A. Ford: That the first read-
ing of the Local 'Option bylaw be
taken up at the October meeting and
that the present petition be consider-
ed at that meeting.
