Bowlers' Booklet.
The Western Ontario Bowlers As-
sociation is preparing a Booklet to he
presented to the British Bowlers who
are touring Ontario. The booklet will
contain two views from each town
sending rinks to play the British
Bowlers, and also a short description
of the town. A number have volun-
teered to test their skill with the
British visitors, and from these a
selection of one rink will bo made.
Hence Wingham will be represented
in the souvenir booklet, that the
British Bowlers will carry home with
them. Winghain Bowlers will meet
the visitors at Clinton.
The Best Music:
Leaving 1Vinglram lodge aside, with
the fine music of the Citizens' Band,
Blnevale lodge is acknowledged to
have had the best mnsic in Gorrie on
the Twelfth. Wm. Fryfogle, of Shu -
ter street was the fifer end was easy
winner of the prize. His drummer
was John Taylor of London, formerly
of Wingham, and ninny think that
he should have had the prize for best
drinniner, but it went to another.
Fryfogle and Taylor are a good team,
and Biuevale lodge was fortunate in
securing theta, as good fifers and
drummers are not as plentiful as they
were years ago.

Look Out For Them.
The Attorney -General's office has a
number of complaints regarding photo
fakirs at work in several counties.
They canvass for orders to enlarge
photos, collect 50 cts. in advance, and
are never heard of again. In some
cases they receive the whole amount
of the order in advance, but the photos
never come. We hope our readers
will be on guard and not get caught
with the baits these wily gents offer.
If you want photos enlarged, go to a
reliable home man and let the fakirs
pass; it is the safest plan every time.
Baseball Game..
A lively and interesting gains of
Baseball in the Lakeside League was
played here on Monday, between
Lucknow and Wingham teams. The
game was close throughont and good
play was frequent, there being but lit-
tle difference in the scores. In the
eighth inning, Lucknow was leading
by 2 runs, but in the ninth Wingham
shut them out and added two rails to
their own score, thus making the
score a tie 6.0 at the end of the ninth
innings. To break the tie, another
innings was played and the visitors
got in three runs, while our boys fail-
ed to get around the diamond ; score,
8-9 in favor of Lucknow.
(sod Bless The Ladies.
Says the gallant editor of the Ches-
ley Enterprise : "Last week we were
asked if we ever saw a baldheaded
woman. We answered: "No, we nev-
• er did, nor did we ever see a woman
waltzing around in her shirt sleeves
with a cigar in her mouth, walking
around town as if she owned. it. We
have never seen a woman go out fish-
ing in the Bentinck trout stream with
a bottle in her pocket, sit on the damp
ground all day, and come home full at
night. Nor have we ever seen a wo-
man yank off her coat and say she
could lick any man in town. God
bless her."

After Twenty-five Years.
A strange incident occurred on the
0, P. R, late train on Thursday even-
ing. A lady front a United States
city was on her way to visit her sister,
whom she had not seen for twenty-
five years, but who lived, she thought,
in Teeswater. She bad a photo of her
sister taken with another lady ; the
latter, however, was a complete stran-
ger, and she had never seen her.
While working some enquiries, she
happened to look around the oar, and
she at once saw a lady resembling the
one taken with her sister. On en-
quiry, it was found to be the same
lady, who was able to direct the visit-
ing stranger to her sister's home.

Epworth League Baseball.
On Wednesday of last week, a
Baseball team chosen out of Wing -
ham Epworth League went to Tees -
water to play a similar, team from
Teeswater League. The Teeswater
boys waxed our Leaguers pretty well
at the ball game, but they entertained
them so generously, that everything
went merrily, and our boys resolved
there and then to be not one whit be-
hind in their treatment of the Tees -
water League team, when they come
here to play the return match. The
team, accompanied by about thirty
other Leaguers, given sup-
per
,werep-
e theirp
per in the lecture room of the Metho-
dist church, after which an impromp-
tu program was given by the visiting
Leaguers. Altogether a very pleasant
time was spent and the outing much
enjoyed.

Excursion To Kincardine.
We would remind our readers of the
annual union Sunday School excur-
sion to leincardine on Friday, 27t
Inst. One special train will start from
Wingham with eight to ten coaches,
leaving the G, T. R, station here
about 9.12, and will be followed by a
another special leaving Mitchell soon
after 7 a. n. and arriving in Wingham
probably about 9.80. Both trains will
have baggage ears attached for the
conveyance of provisions, An abun-
dant supply of hot water, tea and cof-
fee will be prepared, but excursionists
must bring provisions, cups, saucers,
cream, sugar, etc, Wingham's fine
band, will accompany the excursion,
and a most enjoyable day by the lake-
side is expected. Young and old en-
joy these annual outings, that have
been so successful in the past.
Severely Injured.
Wingham and Durham Lacrosse
teams player, at Hanover on July
12th, the Duthamites winning by a
score of 5 to 2. The game was lively
and well played, and could not be
classed as a rough game. Unfortun-
ately, one of Wingharn's players,
David Dinsley, was seriously hurt,
In the course of the game the knee of
his cheek struck Dave below the ribs,
and disabled him. He was in intense
pain for some time and required the
attendance of a physician. On being
brought home he was taken to the
residence of his mother, where he is
receiving every attention, and on
Monday, the Advance was pleased to
hear that he was improving. Dave is
a good player and a favorite with the
boys on the team, who sincerely re-
gret the accident. We understand
that the injury received was not in-
tentional on the part of the check, but
accidental. However, that does not
lessen either the pain or the cost. As
we go to press, we ascertain that Dave
is able to be out.
A Good Woman Gone.
Mrs. Eliza Ann Woods, mother of
Mrs. J. A. Morton, passed away on
the. 17th inst. at the ripe age of 86
years, one month, five days. Mrs.
Woods was a daughter of D. J.
Matteson, and was born in Fredonia,
N. Y. forty-nine years ago, site and
her late husband, efr. P. L. Woods,
came to Peel county, Ontario. For
many years Mr. Woods carried on the
1 '
business of watchmaket stud, jeweller
in the town of Brampton. Six years
ago, Mr. Woods died, and since then
Mrs. Woods mule her hone in Wing -
ham, with her daughter, Mrs. J. A.
Morton. Two of the fancily survive,
one son, Mr. Wm. Woods of Bramp-
ton, and one daughter, Mrs. Morton
of Wingham. Mr's. Woods was a
faithful christian, a sincere lover of
her Saviour, and though ineapacitated
from attending ehurch, site never
missed a Sabbath's nervieo itt the
Methodist church, until the Inst two
.Sundays, the telephone beating to her
home, the message of truth, and sac-
red song, she loved so well to hear.

Cape Town Papers.
Mr. Perfect, of John street, has left
the Advance some South African pa-
pers, and we were surprised at the ex-
cellency of the illustrations, and still
more so at the fine streets, handsome
buildings, and modern conveniences of
Cape Town, Johannesburg, and other
South African cities. We had the
idea that these places were somewhat
behind the times, and rather crude in
their at'rangernents and advantages,
but we must adroit that we were mis-
takef5, The mechanical work of the
papers is certainly a credit to any city.
In one, the note a little incident in
which our citizen (Mr. Perfect) had a
part :—"As his Excellency the Gover-
nor and Lord Randolph Churchill
were driving round the Kloof, the
pair of spirited horses drawing their
carriage, very nearly ran into a cow
and calf on the narrow road above the
Round Honse. As there is a sort of
bridge over the ravine at this place,
the parties were in some peril. Mr.
Perfect, who is an old navy man,
promptly turned the cow from the
road, and the carriage bearing the dis-
tinguished gentlemen, passed safely."

Passed 140th Year,
The following from the Clinton
News -Record has reference to the
grandmother of DIi. Andley Holmes
of Wingham :—"Friday, July Otb,
wasa gala day at the home of 3. R.
Holmes when his mother celebrated
the 100th anniversary of her birth.
From early morn till night her friends
kept arriving and had the individual
pleasure of conversing and shaking
hands with Mrs. Holmes. All of her
children, some of her grandchildren
and great-grandchildren were present
and greatly enjoyed having Mrs.
Holmes sit at the dinner table with
them. Numerous Ietters. of congratu-
lations were received from many
places in .Ontario, Manitoba. England,.
Ireland and New York (City, that she
tuay have the privilege of retaining
to the end all her faculties in the sante
goodly degree that she now possesses
is the wish of all her friends." Seven-
ty-three years ago, Mrs. Holmes came
as A bride to the farm where she still
resides, at Holmesville,
The Twelfth At Borrie.
Gorrie presented a lively scene on
the commemoration of the 210th an-
niversary of the Battle of the Boyne.
The village and villagers put. on their
best garb for the day. The inconveni-
ent train accommodation interfered
with the attendance from this end, of
the line, the train being timed to leave
hero at n few minutes past twelve
noon. Nevertheless Wingham lodge,
No. 794, turned out in good force, and
were accompanied by Winglram's ex-
cellent Band. Gorrie citizens made
great preparations, arid there appear-
ed to be abundance of provision sap -
plies. The day was hot and dusty, but
all report a good time. After dinner
had been disposed of, Marshalls Camp-
bell and Montgomery directed the
brethren in a long and intricate march
to the grove, where the speeches were
delivered. District Master Newton
presided and after a welcome had
been extended the visiting brethren
on irehaif of [Gorrie citizens by Mr.
Irwiu, addresses were delivered by
Tiro. A. H. Musgrove, Rev's. Dobson,
Boyle, Tiffin, Wells, Osterhout and
Farr; these were interspersed with
music by the Band. In the fife and
drntn competition, Win. Fryfogle won
the prize for best fifer and Win. Fer-
guson, of Orangehill Orange Young
Britons, captured the drummer's
prize, Winghain Lodge returned
about eight p. ire pleased that they
,tad improved the opportunity of as-
sembling with their Howick brethren.
Howick district never fails to rally in
numbers in Wingham, when the cele-
bration Is held here. The train that
was due to Ieave Wingham for Sea -
forth at 0.55 did not emit its destine, -
tion until aboiit one o'clock, and the
excursionists were somewhat disap-
pointed.

Entrance Examinations.
The Entrance results are given in
this issue. Sixty-one candidates wrote
at this centre, of whom fifty-one
passed. The examining Board con-
sists of Inspector Robb, A. H. Mus-
grove, Principal of our Public School,
and Mr. Taylor, High School Princi-
pal. So far as Wingham school is
concerned, the results are most grati-
fying. Twenty-eight of our pupils
wrote, all of whom passed, ten taking
rank in the Honor list, which was
higher this year than last. Twenty-
elght candidates (all that wrote) pass-
ing is indeed encouraging, and points
to faithful work on the part of the
pupils and thorough instruction by
their teacher, Miss M. L. Brock. The
Advance congratulates teacher and
pupils. The following is Miss Brock's
record for the four years she has had
charge of the Entrance class here
