THE WINGIiAM RACES.
The Canadian Circuit races, which
were held last Thursday and Friday,
under the auspices of the Wingham
Turf Club, were successful in every
respect. On the first clay a strong
wind was blowing, and the track was
at
trifle heavy from
the downpour
ou
r of
rain which fell• on the preceding day.
The postponement of the races for a
day may have interfered somewhat
with the attendance. The only acci-
dent that took place was in the last
, • on Friday,
Free-for-all for -all
a

heat
when a mix-up occurred at the first
turn, when Spmx's sulky broke down
and the driver was thrown to the
ground, the horse running once
around the track before being caught,

East Huron, June 21st.
Arrangements have now been com-
pleted for the annual meeting of
East Huron Conservative Association.
Some of our Liberal exchanges (no
doubt with the best of intentions) an-
nounced the date as June 4th, when as
a" matter of fact, arrangements were
not completed until this week. We
regret to hear that some assembled in
Brussels on the 4th, and of course
were disappointed. Arrangements
have been completed, and the date is
Friday, June 21st, and the place, the
Town Hall, Brussels, at two o'clock.
We are pleased to announce also that
Hon. A. Matheson, the Provincial
Treasurer of Ontario, has promised to
be present and deliver an address.

METAMORPHOSIS.
Misogynes was wont to boast :
"My heart is all exempt ;
Of every form of gynarchy
I have supreme contempt."
One day came tripping down the
street,
In spotless white arrayed,
A being fashioned fair and free -
A lovely, winsome maid.
1 Misogynes no longer hates ;
His heart yearns for heart's -ease,
3 For, since he saw that white -robed
maid,
2 He's now Philogynes.
The sweetest gynarchy he seeks,
'Twill surely not he missed,
1• For he's become a connoisseur -
A trained philocalist.

Wingham Wins S to 1.
On Friday evening, the Unions of
Gorrie and Wroxeter played a game
of baseball here with the local ball
tossers, and although they put up a
good game they lost by a score of 5 to
1, this only run coming in the last in-
nings. Owing to the absence of Herb.
Dunlop, the rubber was in charge of
Alex. Alderson, and he pitched an
admirable game, and should have
scored a shut out. Allen Wray did
the pitching for the visitors, and
showed that he has lost none of his
speed or control which he had when
the Union was in its glory. This is
the fourth game the locals have won
this season, having yet to be defeated.
They have scored in all 03 runs,
against 14 for their opponents. They
are a fast, clean, gentlemanly lot of
ball players, and along with the pitch-
ing of Herb. Dunlop the in -field is al-
most a stone wall and accounts for the
small scores against the team. Luck -
now, scoring 3 ; Tees water, 8 ; Luck -
now, 2 (2nd game); Unions, 1.

Struck A Rich Vein.
The following from a New Liskeard
paper will be of interest to our read-
ers, as Mr. Sackrider was formerly a
resident of Belgrave:-"After a few
weeks spent in the Larder Lake region
Messrs. Sackrider and Hooper have re-
turned with samples rich enough to
give the most sceptical a fever for a
few weeks in the bush. The company
in which Mr. Sackrider is interested
is known as the Buffalo Larder Min-
ing Company and their claims are
principally in close vicinity to Malone
Lake. One vein, on which a shaft has
been put down about 6 feet, is 51. ft.
grand
wide and at the 2 foot level a
sample of free gold was found. On
the same claim a vein of similar
nature some 8 feet wide has also been
uncovered. According to Mr. Sack -
rider this is not the only spot where
free gold has been found. From vari-
ous reports which are brought down
from the camp it appears that Larder
Lake gold camp is a sound reality and
not a vision as a great many have be-
lieved."

Honored In London.
Mrs. Leonidas Hubbard (sister of
Mrs. IV. H. Cruikshank) is now in
London, England. A cable despatch
says :-"She has been invited to lec-
ture on her exploits before the Lon-
don Geological Society and other

turns to America. She is now the
most honored stranger in London.
Scientists hasten to do her homage.
She is reaping the reward of her zeal
in the cause of human knowledge and
the remembrance of her gifted hus-
band."
Fierce Runaway.
On Friday last, Mr. John McKenzie,
of the 4th of Culross, was driving to a
raising at Thompson's, when his horse,
startled by a colt on the road, ran
away. Mr. McKenzie was thrown out
and one of his legs was broken. In
his career, the horse had to pass where
the raising was going on, and the men
succeeded in stopping him, at least so
that the animal threw itself over a
wire fence. Fortunately it was not
hurt, but the buggy was wrecked.
Mr. McKenzie laid some time before
help came. He was taken to Tees -
water and his injuries attended to.

County Council Notes.
The Huron County Council conclud-
ed their June sessions on Friday even-
ing at a late hour. The following ap-
pointments were made to positions at
the House of Refuge in Clinton : Robt.
Match, keeper, salary $350 ; Mrs. Robt.
Match, neatrou, salary $250 ; Mrs. W.
H. Simpson, assistant matron, salary
$150. In recognition of Mr. French's
long anti faithful service as keeper of
the house up to the present, the Coun-
cil voted him an honorarium of $100.
Among the grants made by the Coun-
cil are the following : $ 75 additional
to the Wingham High School, making
the grant from the county $575 , $75
to the Huron countyrifle league for

tural society to assist in making a
county exhibit at the Provincial exhi-
bition in November ; $21) to the 11 horse fair, and $50 Hen-

Local Telephone
Service.
We understand that the people of
Whitechurch purpose building a tele-
phone line into Wingham to connect
with the Bell Company's local and
longdistance service, in the same way
tht
Riversdale and surrounding
country will be connected with Tees -
water by a local Company organized
for the purpose and bearing the title
of The Teeswater and Northern Tele-
phone Company, of Teeswater. It
seems that owing to the scarcity
of
labor the Bell Co. find it impossible to
build any more lines into the rural
districts, and on this account, and in
order that the telephone service may
be placed within the reach of all, the
company is offering extremely gen-
erous terms to the farmers and others
to make it profitable to them to build
their own lines, and connect with the
Bell Company at their nearest Central
office. It is a mark of progress that
Wleitecimtreh is taking advantage of
the situation to establish telephone
communication with Wingham. No
doubt others will follow the example,
so that a quick and convenient means
of intercourse may soon be available
between our business men and farm-
ers in the vicinity.
Per the best values obtainable any-
where in a well assorted, fresh, clean,
new and bhp -to -date stock, you will

A Sad Death.
Mr. and Mrs. Wm. Mitchell of Turn -
berry attended the funeral of Mrs.
Thos. R, Watson, of Logan, on Mon-
day of last week. Mr. Watson, the
bereaved husband, is a brother of Mrs.
Mitchell. The Mitchell Advocate re-
fers to the sad event, as follows :-
"A little over two weeks Me. Thos. R.
Watson, 2nd con., Logan, sent his
wife to London for treatment, the
lady not having enjoyed good health
for some time. On Saturday morning
a message reached the husband that
she had passed away, and he at once
sent for the body and had it brought
to the old home from which the funer-
al took place on Monday to the Metho-
dist cemetery. It was an unusually
large one, testifying to the respect in
which she was held by the neighbor-
hood. A son, about three years old,
with the husband, survive ]ler. Mrs.
Watson was born in Mitchell, and
was a daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Yar-
coo. During her illness the bereaved
husband did all in his power to ad-
minister to her needs and secured the
best medical attendance, but it was all
to no purpose. He and his babe have
the sympathy of the whole com-
munity."
