In a clean cut and fast game of lacrosse played on he Carkn 'Wed- nesday of hest week, W il Maple Leafs on from the enowedBeavers of Seaforth by a score of 4 to 0. Sea - forth had made their team particular- ly strong for this game, and all the shining lights of their old famous Bea- vers were on the line-up, and they came with Coen and money to trim the sturdy Maple Leafs ; but they came, they saw, they conquered—nit. From the time Referee Allen of Mt. Forest blew his whistle, to the finish of the game, Brown Jackson and his pets were simply ant -classed. The teams lined up at 4.30, Front the face-off, Cody got the ball and passed to Wendorf, who rushed in on the goal andassed to McLean and in one minute NVingbam had their first goal, and .Brown Jackson and Bob Mc - had yet to know what the ball looked like. Another draw and the ball went to Wingham goal, and al- though the Beavers tried till the latest New York dodges, they failed to pierce the defence, and Hennings in goal only had to make one stop which he did in handy fashion. The ball travelled quickly, and Reid, who had received the ball from Fleming, scored No. 2 for Wingham. The applause from the spectators was tremendous. The quarter ended 2 to 0 in favor of the locals, but the play was more even than the score ; the stone wall defence of the locals saved the goal many times. The second quarter was fast ; Sea - forth still kept boring into the local defence, only to be blocked by Moore or Winghamwhile Kemkes kept Bob McKay comp,letely out of the game by his close checking, and Ed. McGuire and Henning Iooked after the long shots ; no goals were scored. Case in goal for Seaforth was playing a great game. Along the sideline came the rumor that Seaforth always won in the third quarter, but smiles crept over the faces of the Winghatn defence when Jackson went to play defence for Sea - forth, telling of the sad plight the visitors were in ; from the face-off, the weak spots showed up and in less than two minutes Case was called on to stop half a dozen deadly shots, while Brown Jackson looked like Billy Bounce as Elliott, Fleming and Mc- Lean, fed by Wendorf and Cody, played rings round the Seaforth de- fence, Fleming finally scoring. No. 3 for Wingham. After this score, Sea - forth got very busy and the local de- fence were called on to stop many a rush and this the did to a nicety, and although Seaforthgot several shots on goal, Hennings was right there and showed up splendidly in goal, while Cook, who was playing field, al- ways came in to help the defence when they were haled pressed and was always ready with a spurt when he was wanted to help out the home. The quarter ended 8 to 0, but both teams were nearly "all in" with the fast work. The final quarter was somewhat slower. Seaforth still kept boring in on the local defence without result, when after a rush on goal, Wingham relieved, and the ball passed to Wing - ham home, where McLean by a clever trick landed No. 4, which was the final score, and thus the big circus was over and Wingham practically district winners, NOTES. Gate—$76.855. Thanks. Nobody cooked over the fence. Kemkes kept McKay busy all the time and it is rumored that McKay got the ball twice in the game. . Bell, Stewart and Hatcher played good lacrosse but the Wingham home was too fast. Seaforth has a corner in young Standart, and when Brown Jackson gets a little order and more experience he will no doubt make good. Hennings made his first appearance in Winghatn colors and certainly Made good. Sam Wendorf was tire- less and handed out some pretty pass- es to the home field. Geo. Winghatn and Ed. McGuire played asteady game and were always in the fight, while Moore played the best game he has played this season. Dinsley's place was filled by Gordon Cook, who deserves credit for the way he helped his defence out: On the home, all were shining stars and the shooting of McLean, Reid and Flem- ing -was very accurate, while Elliott and Cody, though they scored no goals, played a wonderful game. t - :4' A RELIABLE CONCERN NOT TO BE CLASSED AMONGST FAKIRS.

As an incentive to agriculturists at home and abroad, and more especially to those interested as breeders or x users of heavy draught horses, His Majesty the King has decided to send some typical Shires from Sandring- ham, and has asked Lord Rothschild to send some of his representative horses from the Tt•ing Stud to the fol- lowing Canadian and American ex- hibitions ; Canadian National Show at Toronto, Aug. 27; Canada Central Show at Ottawa, Sept. 7 ; Canada Western Fair at London, Sept. 7 ; Ca- nada la United States Show at Kansas City, Oct, 7. The horses are sent that the Canadian subjects of King Ed- ward and their friends in the United States of America who have not the opportunity of visiting the English shows may see for themselves the type of Shire horses prevailing in tile English counties and most in demand in the great cities and towns of that country. Estimates Next Meeting. The town Council's next meeting will be on Monday, Angnst 6tb, when the estimates for the year must be ready, and the tax rate struck, so that the Clerk may prepare the Collector's roll. Ratepayers need. not be sur- prised if the rate is as high this year ars last, or even a little higher, nor need they jump to the conclusion that it is owing to extravagance on the part of the Council, for it is not. The increase will be due largely to the un- controllable expenditure. For in- stance, the county rate this year is nearly double what it was before, and this will add one mill to the rate. The roof of the Public School must be slated and this with other improve- ments may add a Chill to the school rate. The drain from Walker & Ciegg's to the river is a necessity and this will have to be paid for out of this year's taxes. High School teach- ers' salaries for four months must be provided for, but there are two teach- ers less on the Politic School staff, and their salaries will be saved. The Council will no doubt cut the rate as lots as possible, as they are as desirous of a low rate as any other ratepayers. For many years the rate diel not ex - Beed 20 mills ; last year it went to 23 mills, and we question if it goes much below or even as low as that in the future. But in a town like Winghrnn, even that should not be either atlartn- ing 01 burdensome. 1t has caused tanteloughs and dried more teats, wiped away diseases and driven away more fears than any other medicine in the world. 1-iolllster's Rocky Mountain Tea, 35 cents, Tea or Tablets.

Marching Mates, The Lakelet correspondent of the Clifford Express has the following note of the 12th in Corrie, referring to one of our, citizens, and former resi- dent :—"Take Pat I3rown, there's a loyal man. Keep hint at home on the 12th of July ? No sit', It is only once a year that Brown gets wearing a ping, and we do not wonder that he is always out. Even the great lawyer Vanstone, of Wingham, Brown's marching mate, had nothing on your mill man. Vanstone may have had it in height, but Brown had it hi gait and appearance." Grand Concert. On Friday evening, August 10th, there will be a grand concert in the Methodist church, in connection with the District Epworth League Sumtner School, to be held this year in Wing - ham, August 6th to 12th, An excel- lent array of talent hits been secured at considerable expense and mnsic- loving people may be assured of a treat.
