Canada attracted the notice of the world by.the bravery of her sons in South Africa, and now the attention of nations is again drawn to Canada, because she has produced the cham- pion runner of the world. The great Marathon race, the crowning strug- gle upon which the ancient Greeks at- tested the prowess of man, is over. William J. Shorting, 0 lean, frail look- ing Canadian tottered into Athens with his arms hanging limp and bis head swaying front side to side after the race of twenty-five miles. He had left forty-eight competitors, from every great nation, struggling along the twenty-five miles behind him, bit- ing the dust from his flying heels. Before the race, Sherring was only one of the citizens of Hamilton, On- tario. And now, a million people have heralded him ars the greatest en- durance runner of the world. Swan - berg, a Swede was but eight yards be- hind Slrerring at the finish, and Wm. G. Frank, the American, was third. The first four finished within five minutes of each other. Sherving's tune for the twenty-five miles was 2 hours, 51 minutes, 23 and 2.5 seconds. Football Match. Wingham Football team went to Brussels on Friday to play the fiast game in the district Cup series, of the 'intermediate W, F. A. Neither team put up a good game, and both showed lack of practice. The score was 1-0 hi favor of Brussels, Many players from neighboring places assisted Brussels, while (with the exception of McArter•) Winghatn had none but local players. Brussels scored shortly before the first half ended, and also in the second half, but this was not allowed, as it was all off -side play. Brussels suppor• tors acted very unfairly and when a ball was shot that went two feet over the goal, Manager Ferguson of Brus- sels, who was goal umpire, held up his band, but the Referee dill not allow the goal. Unfairness will sooty spoil the game, and Brussels should get a new naattager. honest sport is always the best. As Brussels had no players registered, and Ardell of Genie had signed with two teams, Wingham pxo- tested the game, The line-np was as follows Brussels -Goal, Kerr; backs, McDonald, Anderson ; half -backs, ide- Lennaun, Brown, C'ardiff; centre, Strand ; right wing, Forest, Arden ; left wing, Corley, Berms, Wingham -Goal, MeArter ; backs, Mitchell, Deans; half -backs, Cruickshank, Ans- ley, Moore ; centre, Lamonby ; tight - Property Purchased.

Dr. Towler has disposed of his com- fortable residence on Diagonal street, to Mr, Dudley Holmes, but retains possession of it until September next. This sloes not necessarily imply tbat the doctor intends leaving Wingham. As a matter of fact, he finds that a smaller residence would be snore con- venient for himself and Mrs. Towles. The property is eligibly situated and will make a comfortable honio for Mr. and Mrs, 'Holmes, after September next. The sale was trade through the agency of J. H. Chisholm. Board Of Trade. Next Friday evening, there will be a public meeting held in the Council Chamber, with a view to organizing a Board of Trade for Wingham, in con- nection with the Retail Merchants' Association. This organization may include any business men or citizens, who may possibly not come under the classification of retail merchants. We think there is a field of usefulness for such an organization, and hope to see the meeting on Friday evening well attended. Let there be a good representation of citizens, at 8 p. m. A live Board of Trade can do much to advance the best interests of the Town. The High School.

Death was not expected, for on Sunday, April 29th, she was bright and cheer- ful. On that day however, she took a turn for the worse, and on Wednes- day breathed her Inst, after an illness of about eight days. Mrs. Ritchie was in her 28th year and was universally esteemed. She was a member of the Presbyterian Church, and for many years a sainted member of the choir. She leaves a sorrowing husband, and an infant child but a few days old. The event is sad indeed, and it has brought sadness and gloom, where there was joy and bright anticipation for years of future happiness. Mr. Ritchie has sincere sympathy in his hour of trial and bereavement. Mrs. Ritchie was a niece of Mrs. Wm. Pat- tison and Mrs. Michael Walker, of Winghatn. water, Base Bali League.
