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 of the I' 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, Following is the summary of the - events: FIRST DAY. 2.40 pace -Purse $300.

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.

The editor of the Advance and leis daughter, Miss Ethel, spent a few days last week with the former's mother raid niter, at Afrkwrl; ht, 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." West Huron.

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. Read Saunders' advt., on page 8. County Council Notes. The Huron County Council conclud- ed their June sessions on Friday even- ing at a late hour.

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 find them at the leading Dress Goods and Fancy Goods Store of D. M.
