The first home game in the Lake- side League was played on the Town Park on Thursday last, the Balmorals of Kincardine tieing slated against the A locals. The local team extended an invitation to the Mayor and Council to open the game, and at 5.30 Reeve Irwin stepped on the rubber, leaving for his support Councillor Nicholson, while Controller Bell handled the wil- low ; Umpire Brislan gave the word "play ball," and Controller Bell landed hard on the second ball for a hit amid cheers from the crowd. Councillors McDonald, Gordon and Kerr were also guests of the Ball Club. Kincardine team went to bat and were blanked, while Wingham made two runs on hits by Moore, a sacrifice by Longman, and a drive by Britton, and Welsh bringing in the latter by a long drive, Second innings, both teams were blanked but in the visitors' 3vd, hits by Sinclair and Calder lanclecl a run, making the score 2 to 1, with Wing - ham to have their half, when hits by Moore, Longman, Britton and Welsh in succession, and a sacrifice by Work- man, totalled 4 runs. The fourth add - V 1 to Kincardine, McKay getting a Mit and being sacrificed around for the run. In Wingham's half, a hit by Hammond to the trees and followed by bingles by Moore and a scratch by Workman, added two runs for Wing - ham. The 5th and Oth were blanks for the visitors, Dunlop benders being too puzzling for the fishermen, but the fireworks were on and Wingham again added 3 more runs. In the unlucky 7th innings, Sinclair made a hit and followed by A. McKay with a second hit, and several errors •en the part of the locals, Kincardine added 4 runs, but the remainder of the game was safe, the visitors being well taken care of by Dunlop and Britton, and the local fireworkers, Workman, Atcheson, Alderson and Dunlop breaking up the game' by smashing the ball and bringing in 6 ruts in the last stages of the game. The work of Victor Brislan of Luck - now, with the indicator, was the best • seen here and he kept the teams play- ing ball all the •time. The wire netting placed for the game, kept the ball away front the spectators and is a great improve- ment. Wingham battery — Dunlop and Britton ; Kincardine—Calder and Mc. Kay.

By a score of 0-8, the local team de- feated Blyth on the Park on Tuesday evening. The game was more one- sided than the score would indicate. "Bob" Moore acted as umpire, but he apparently didn't know much about the game ; his decisions caused much amusement among both players rznd spectators. Blyth battery — McArter and Summers.

As the Advance goes to press on Wednesday afternoon, we cannot give ane the name the of t ic for n o ► t t at applicant PP l t for the position of Chief Constable. There are, we understand, six appli- cants, and a special meeting of the Council will he held this evening (Wednesday) to deal with the applica- tions. West Iluron Commissioners, '1'he License 'Coma issioners for West Huron, Messrs. M. Lockhart, T. Durnin, T. Churchill, .were all mem- bers of the Executive of West limon Conservative Association. Last week they resigned their positions on the Executive, so as to remove even the faintest suspicion that they were in- fluenced by political influences in the discharge of 'their duties as License Commissioners. They are endeavor- ing to do their duty faithfully and im- partially, We commend their action in Lhe matter. A Peculiar Accident. One day recently, Florence, daugh- ter of Mr. henry Deacon of East Wa- wanosh, aged about eight years, met with a peculiar accident, that girls should take warning from. She and her sister were engaged at the Cream Separator, and Florence had occasion to stoop down for a pail, when some of her curls caught in the Separator cogs, as the machine continued in motion. Her sister seized her quickly but the machine tore the hair from her head, leaving a bare spot about 2S by 3 inches, that will he very sore for some time, Her father was just outside and hearing her screams, ran, but the hair had been torn from the child's head. Those who are accus- tomed to working with Separators will now see the danger, and should be on their guard. The result in this ease is bad enough, but Mr. Deacon says it might have been much worse. Hence too much care can not be exer- cised. . WE'Lr. MEND 'Ex.—If your Shoes need a neat patch, half sole, or want repairing in any way,•bring them here to be mended.—W. J. Greer. A GOLDEN WEDDING. A very happy company assembled at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Jewett, Bluevale. on Tuesday evening to celebrate with this worthy couple the fiftieth anniversary of their wed- ding day. Mr. and Mrs. Jewett were united in the bonds of matrimony on June 18th, 1857, and caste to Morris about that time, so that for about half a century they have been respected residents of the township. Their union was blessed with ten children, nine of whom are living—Jonathan and Ernest in Saskatchewan ; Mrs. Pugh of Thessalon ; Amos, of Sault Ste, Marie ; Mrs. Errington, of Dun- gannon ; Mrs. South, Isaac, David and Watson, all of Morris. About fifty relatives and guests as- sembled to extend congratulations and enjoy the evening. An excellent repast was served on the lawn, which was enjoyed by all.

Among then were the following—a gold -headed cane for Mr. Jewett, a gold brooch for Mrs. Jewett, and a number .of gold coins. These gifts carte as a surprise to the aged couple.

Cleaned Off The Roof. An amusing but true story is being told regarding two young fellows re- cently out from the old land. A far- mer who lives between Paris and Bur- ford drove to Brantford last Saturday and left two newly -arrived English- men in charge of the farm. Last fall the separator blew the chaff from threshing on to the barn roof, where it had remained ever since, and the farmer instructed his help to clear the chaff off the roof in his absence. When he arrived ,home he found out to his amazement that the English- men had taken every shingle orf the roof, and that it is going to cost hint about $75 to have thein replaced. BEANO IN YOUR heirs.—To the cus- tomers that bring H. E. Isard & Co. the most eggs up to Saturday, June 29th, will be given the prizes as adver- tised on page 5. Came Off Safely. On Friday, Mr. Geo. Taylor of Turn - berry was in town Nvitli his team. While the horses were standing near the Bank of Hamilton, they took fright at something and ran away at a fierce rate. Mr. Taylor was in the wagon, and held on to them nobly. Notwithstanding that the Horses ran so wildly down the front street and nearly a mile oast towards Belgrave, the driver held on, and anally as they were going up a hill, he succeeded in getting control of them. The wonder is that the driver, team and wagon escaped injury. When they reached town again without a scratch, 1tr. Taylornew bits for the secured tt horses, that will enable hint to remind them that some one has hold of the lines. For a man advanced in years, Mr. Taylor stayed with the runaways remarkably well, as every person who saw the run felt sore he would be thrown out and seriously injured, Death Of Mr, Howson. Last week, Mr. W. J. Howson of the Wingham Mills, attended the fun- eral of his father, who passed away on the 8th hist., aged 80, Deceased was a nati(a of Yorkshire, England, where he was born in 1821, corning to Ca. nada when about 12 years of age and settling in the county of Balton.

This week, we have to report the death of another respected resident of our town, Mr. Thos. S. Cruickshank. Deceased was born in Aberdeen, Scot- land, eighty years ago, and came to Canada in 1855. He lived for a short time in Blenheim, and in 1856, moved to the then new township of Morris, settling on lots 5 and 6, con. 1. In 1860 he was united in marriage to his now bereft partner. In 1809 he became a resident of Wingham. He had been in failing health for some years, and nn Monday last passed away. Besides a widow, he leaves five sons and four daughters.

Elliott, of Sault Ste. Marie, and Nellie, at home. Mr. Cruickshank was connected with the Presbyterian Church. The funeral takes place to -day to the Wingham cemetery. A Good Suggestion. In another column will be found a continunioation by "A Citizen," re- garding the celebration of Dominion Day. The celebration generally takes the form of sports, etc., and "Citizen" vet Yproperly asks,ifth there might not lie some other form of celebration de- vised. At any rate, those who do not care for sports, and would enjoy the intellectual in preference, should have their innings once in a while at least, aitd the suggestion of our correspon- dent should be acted upon. What more fitting on our National holiday than to have a patriotic entertain- ment in the Town Hall or Park ? There is talent enough fat Wingbam to make a most successful and enjoya- ble entertainment, it might bo en- tirely free, or if thought hest, a silver collection might he taken for some charitable object. The Town Council should take the matter up. It would prove to be a popular move, and would not only be a fitting way to celebrate one of the greatest events in Canadian history, but would be free from the objectionable scenes that are often witnessed at other celebrations.
