[BASEBALL
Britton's Busy Ball Batters Beat Hal
morals. Score, 9.6.
Last Friday the local ball team
went to Kincardine to play their
schedule game in the Lakeside League.
This game had much to do with the
teams going into the finals, and much
interest was shown. The Park was
crowded with leather -lunged rooters,
and the weather man served up per-
fect weather, Geo. Colvin of Tees -
water held the indicator, and his work
was exceptionally good.
Play commenced at 6.15, and for
five innings it was a see -saw struggle,
both teams getting men on bases but
could not get them across the plate,
except in the 2nd when Kincardine
tallied one, and in the 3rd Wingham
did likewise. When the 6th innings
started, with the score 1-1, the specta-
tors were on tip -toe. However, some-
thing soon happened, for after two
men were down in the 7th, Kincar-
rne landed 3 runs on a comedy of
"canny freaks on the part of Wingham
team, and had the game cinched (as
they thought). But Britton's busy
ball batters had a few up their sleeve
that hadn't yet been produced, for
after Hammond had been thrown out
at first in the 8th, Moore started the
fireworks by slamming the ball over
the fence for a home run ; this was
followed by every one in the bunch
smashing Calder's benders to all cor-
ners of the Park, and when the smoke
had cleared, a little pan -full of 8 runs
was to their credit. Kincardine came
back with a brace of runs in their
half, making the score 9-6. And now
comes the final. Fleming walked,
was forced to 3rd by Dunlop stealing
2nd, Hammond drew four bad ones,
but the side was retired with bases
full Kincardine came to bat for the
last time ; McKay got to 1st by an
error, but Dunlop took good care he
never got past 2nd, by striking out
the last two men, and the game passed.
into history, the final score being 9-6.
Kincardine battery—Calder and Hall.
Wingham battery—Dunlop and Brit-
ton. Calder pitched a fine game for
Kincardine, and it was not his fault
that they lost. Britton's batters were
too much for him.
The Kincardine ball team used the
boys white and took their defeat man-
fully, but the spectators were very
vulgar, and no doubt their actions
will go a long way towards killing the
game in the Lakeside town. The
Wingham team wish to thank the
home team for the good feeling dis-
played after the game, and promise
them a royal good time on their next
visit to Wingham.
Friday, July 5th.
This is the date arranged for the
nominating convention of East Huron
Conservatives. It will be held in
Brussels, commencing at 2 o'clock.
Mrs. Farrow Very iII.
The Advance regrets to hear that
Mrs. T. Farrow of Brussels is very ill.
and little hope is entertained of her
leecovery. Mrs. and Miss McCracken
of Wingham visited her on Friday
last. Mrs. McCracken is a sister of
Mrs. Farrow.

Chief Constable of the Town of Wing -
ham, will bk received by the under-

at 4 o'clock p.m.; salary $510.00 per
annum. Applications to be in sealed
envelope, marked, "Application for
Chief Constable."—J. B. Ferguson,
Clerk. •
Prospects In Manitoba.
Wesley Bremner, formerly of 'Bel -
more, writes from Lavanhatn, Man.,
renewing his subscription. He says:—
"I would not like to miss a copy of
your up-to-date and newsy paper. I
get more news from it than it is pos-
sible to get from any number of cor-
respondents. We had a very back-
ward spring and the acreage of wheat
will not be nearly what was expected,
but there has been very rapid growth
for the past ten days and prospects
are nearly as good as they ever were
for a good yield."
Football Game.
The football team of Wingham
High School drove to Listowel. on
Saturday afternoon, and played a
friendly game with the High School
team of that town. The match was
very close, and ended a draw, each
team having scored two goals. For
the Wingham team, McLean on the
his usual
playedfast
f. rwru`d line, p y
ee.rne, while Howson and Wilson
lone on the back division. The boys
of the Listowel High School are a
gentlemanly set of fellows, but their
supporters have much to learn with
regard to the treatment of a visiting
'Item, Their conduct on Saturday
evening in this respect was contempti-
ble, and in marked contrast with the
treatment accorded the Listowel boys
on the occasion of their game here a
week before.

As Monday next will be a holiday,
leaving us one day less for changing
advts„ etc., will our advertisers let us
have their changes on Saturday morn-
ing? We shall also appreciate the
help, if they will make the changes
as easy and light as possible under
the circumstances.
Sad News.
The sad news was circulated here
last week that John Wells (formerly
of Lower Wingham) had been killed
by falling on a circular saw in his
brother's mill in Florida. The Ad-
vance endeavored to secure particu-
lars of the sad event (if true) but has
not been ab
leet to d
y o so.
In St. Helen's Church.
A very interesting affair took place
in the English Church at St. Helens,
on Wednesday of this week, when
Miss Minnie, third daughter of Mr.
Robt. Haines of East Wawanosh, be-
came the bride of Mr. Geo. McRoberts
of West Wawanosh. As the happy
event takes place when we are closing
our forms, we are unable to report it
in full.

the direction of Miss Houghton. The
proceeds will be devoted to Wingham
Hospital. Tickets are now for sale ;
see programs for particulars. Two
front rows of opera chairs reserved for
children at 15c each.
Not Dead But Living.
Last week, the Advance copied an
item from the Clinton New Era, re-
garding the reported death of Miss
Taman, of Blyth, from blood -poison-
ing, supposing the item to have been
correct. The Blyth Standard says
that Miss Taman is not dead, nor
likely to die for some time. The Ad-
vance regrets the appearance of the
item which was published in good
faith, supposing that the New Era's
report was correct. -
Belgrave Garden Party.
The garden party in aid of Wing -
ham hospital should not he forgotten.
It promises to be one of the best of
the season, and will be held on the
premises of W. G. Nicholson, Thurs-
clay, July 4th. In the afternoon there
will be baseball, tug-of-war and other
games and sports. In the evening
there will be a program of addresses
and vocal music. Wingham Citizens'
Band will be in attendance afternoon
and evening. Supper served from
5.30 to 8.30. Refreshments for sale on
the grounds. Special train returns to
Wingham at 11.30. See large posters
for information. T. S. Brandon is

A Gold Medalist.
Miss Ethalinda, daughter of Rev.
and Mrs. W. G. Howson, passed her
examination as Nurse, last week, at
the Western Hospital, Toronto. Miss
Howson had been for several days and
nights in the operating room, prior to
the examination, yet notwithstanding
this strain, she took ninety-five. per
cent, of the maximum number of
marks, and thus became Gold Medal-
list of her class, and received the Hos-
pital pin. We understand that Miss
Howson has the foreign mission field
in view; in that case her excellent
preparation as a Nurse will very large-
ly widen her sphere of usefulness.
She is receiving very many congratu-
lations on her success.
s cess.
Jaxon Lived In Wingham.
A recent issue of Saturday Night
referred to a certain individual calling
himself Honore Joseph Jaxon, a resi-
dent of Chicago, who gained notoriety
in 1885 as Louis Riel's secretary. The
Oakville Record (published by W. J.
Fleuty, formerly of Wingham) has
this to say of Jaxon :—Jaxon is an ec-
centric character now and has always
been such, as the change in the spell-
ing of his name would amply justify
one in saying. His name originally
was Jackson, His parents were
amongst the earliest citizens in the
now prosperous town of Wingham,
Ont., and there he resided for a num-
ber ofg t3 ears, going
west while in his
y ,
teens, with his parents to Prince Al-
bert. Here his eccentricities threw
him in with' Riel ; they played a los-
ing game—Riel paid the penalty,
Jackson leventecl, and ho can't come
back. He left his country for his
country's good. Il'e resides behind a
vinegar factory in Chicago, and one
could imagine he had been in close
touch with that sour, shrivelling
liquid all his life. No, he never gained
fame in the halls of the Toronto l7ni-
versity ; the Vonore at the front of
his name is an adopted prefix, and
there Isn't a drop of any other blood
Wan .Anglo. on in frit mains.
Formerly Of Wingham.
The following from the Clifford Ex-
press has reference to a young man
who formerly resided in Wingham :—
Mr. P. Brown's son, Louis C., died at
Tacoma, Washington State, on May
30th, and his remains arrived here on
Monday, June 10th, The funeral took
place to Clifford cemetery on the fol-
lowing afternoon. The young man
was 29 years of age, and had been
away from home for 12 years,
Electric Light improvement.
Improvements are being made in
the arc lighting of the stores. The
old style of arc light is being removed,
and a more up-to-date system install-
ed. A better light will be the result.
The users of the light, however, have
to purchase the lamps. - Others are
putting in large incandescent lamps,
for instance, Mr. Grjtiin is having a
125 candle-power incandescent. The
old style of arc lamps will still con-
tinue in use on the streets, but the
public will soon miss the arc lights
that have hung at the store doors, and
have largely assisted in lighting the
streets, for these will be removed.
Examinations.
The Entrance examination began on
Wednesday of this week at the dif-
ferent centres. There are 08 candi-
dates writing at Wingham High
School. The examination for Junior
and Senior Leaving and Matricula-
tion, will commence on Tuesday next,
July 2nd, at 8.45 a.m. The examina-
tion here will be in charge of Prin-
cipal Musgrove, assisted by Mr. Hart-
ley of Blyth. About fifty candidates
are expected to write on this exam.
Principal Taylor of Wingham High
School, Mr. Lough of Clinton, and
Inspector Robb are the examiners for
the Entrance for Wingham, Wroxe-
ter and Fordwich district. Principal
Musgrove will examine on the Clinton
district. Miss Brock is presiding at
the Entrance in Wingham.
School Book Prices.
It is understood to he the intention
of the Ontario government to secure
an immediate and substantial reduc-
tion in the price of all school books.
It will be necessary for the publishers
to volunteer the reduction, or the
government will have to authorize an
optional text book at a reduced price
for the time being. Preparations are,
however, well under way for the sys-
tem of an entirely new and improved
system of text books. It is anticipated
that two years will be necessary to
fully perfect it and bring the prices
down to the figure the government
has determined upon. The general
reduction will be nearly 72 per cent.
In the meantime a material drop in
the price of arithmetics, grammars,
geographies, histories and other text
books, may be looked for before the
end of the coming summer holidays.

A Good Shot.
The following extract from a letter
from E. A. Winfield, of Teller, Alaska,
will be of interest, as iTeddy" is well
known here. He says—"The Teller
Gun Club (of which I am President)
had a big hunt this spring. We were
camped at Salt Lake Flats, about 30
miles from here. I carried off the
honors, and in five days shot 22 wild
geese, 18 ducks, 3 sand hill cranes
(which are like turkey and good eat-
ing) and 40 jack -snipes. We put in a
cold storage by running a tunnel in
the hill back of the town, using a
steam thawer, as the ground always
remains frozen. The garrre has been
in for six days and is frozen stiff now,
and will keep for all time, We went
in 40 feet, then built a room 10 x 10."
Mr. Winfield also stated that naviga-
tion was just opening up at time of
writing (June 8th), and everything
was looking 'well. IIe hopes to be
home next fall.
Special Council Meetings.
A special meeting of the Council
was held on Wednesday evening to
consider the applications for the posi-
tion of Chief Constable of town. Ap-
plications were received from W. Fin-
lay, Albert Fleming, Thos. Forbes,
John Johnston of Sault Ste. Marie,
R. A; Dinsley, J. H. Armstrong of
Holyrood, and Geo. Allen. The last
named appeared to be most favorably
regarded, but as the salary he asked,
$45 per month, was much larger than
that now paid, it was decided to
offer the position to Mr. Allen at the
plesent salary. Mr. Allen, however,
declined to accept it at that salary, so
the Council met again on Thursday
evening,to and decid c
t e 1 advertise
again, placing the salary at the higher
rate, $15, and notice thereof appears
in this issue of the Advance. At the
Wednesday evening meeting, it was
decided on motion of Couns. McDon-
ald and Nicholson to request the
owners of gum -slot machines to not
allow their machines to remain out-
side on Sundays, and that a By-law
be prepared to that effect. Arrange-
ments were also made to welcome the
Huron 'Old Boys, on July 6th, The
Council will meet on Friday evening
to consider applications for Chief.

Married In Loudon,
As we went to press, we received an
account of the marriage of John
Charles Reading of Toronto (son of C.
J. Reading of town) to Miss Ada Clare,
youngest daughter of Mrs. M. J. Ab-
bott of London. The happy event
took place in London, June 19th, Rev.
E. B. Lanceley performing the cere-
mony. Mr. Reading's friends here
wish them much happiness.
Miss Ketcheson's Resignation.
Many will regret to hear that Miss
Ketcheson, the English and Modern
Languages Specialist in Wingbam
Iligh School, has resigned her position
here, and accepted a situation in the
University, Toronto. During her resi-
dence here, Miss Ketcheson has proved
herself a successful teacher, and has
made many friends by the kindness of
her disposition. General regret is ex-
pressed at her leaving, but as her
home is in Toronto it is natural that
she should prefer a situation where
she can reside at home. Several per-
sonal applications have already been
made for the vacant place on the
staff.
Huron Old Boys Visit.
Saturday, July 6th, will be the date
of the visit of the Huron Old Boys'
Association of Toronto to their form-
er homes in this county. One of the
special trains is booked for Wingham,
and a large number of those who once
lived in this vicinity, but who have
made the metropolis of Ontario their
home of late, will renew the acquaint-
anceships of former years. The train
is due to arrive at 12 noon, and the
visitors will be met at the station by
the Town Council and Citizens' Band,
who will escort them to the Town
Hall, where an address of welcome
will be read to them. During the
afternoon, there will be a Baseball
match on the Park between Wing -
ham and a team from some other
town. The Band will be in attend-
ance during the afternoon. Then the
visitors will be granted the freedom of
our town, A large number, it is said,
will avail themselves of the opportuni-
ty to visit° the scenes of former days.
The second train has Goderich for its
destination.

Former Winghamites Wedded.
The Goderich Star gives the follow-
ing account of the marriage of two
former residents of the town of Wing -
ham :—"St. George's church, prettily
decorated with white flowers, was the
scene of a pretty though quiet wed-
ding on Tuesday afternoon, June 18th,
when Edmund Lindsey Dickinson,
Barrister -at -law, was married to Miss
Constance Durie Corbould, eldest
daughter of Mrs. William Corbould,
of Goderich. The bride looked charm-
ing in a tailor-made suit of chiffon
broadcloth, a white hat with plumes,
and carried a shower bouquet of white
roses and lily of the valley. She was
given away by her cousin, Mr. E. P.
Winslow, Ontario Inspector of the
Bank of Montreal. The bridesmaids
were Miss Marguerite, sister of the
bride, and Miss Kathleen Lowe of
London, who wore becoming costumes
of pale blue taffeta trimmed with val-
enciennes lace and insertion, and blue
chip hats with blue feathers. Their
ornaments were pearl pendants, the
gift of the groom, and they carried
large bouquets of pink carnations tied
with pink ribbon. Only the imme-
diate relatives were present, the out-
of-town guests being Mrs. Jas, Walk-
er and her daughter, of Toronto, Mrs.
Lloyd of Paris, Miss Constance Wins-
low of Toronto, and E. P. Winslow of
Montreal." The Wingham friends of
Mr. and Mrs. Dickinson join in wish-
ing them much happiness.
John Cornyn's Tragic Death.
The following from the Brandon
Sun of June 20th has reference to the
death of John Cornyn, at one time
proprietor of the Wingham Advance :
"John Cornyn, formerly a Portage edi-
tor, and Savings Company promotor,
and for the last two years President
of the Northern Securities Corpora-
tion, a realty concern, of Vancouver,
died to -day under tragic circumstan-
ces. With his assistant -manager, W.
R. Baker, former School Inspector in
Manitoba, Cornyn visited English Bay
bathing beach. Together the two men
jumped from the diving float, and to-
gether swam back. The second time
Cornyn failed to appear and Baker
climbed again on the float to wait.
Getting anxious, he looked into the
water and saw Cornyn floating with
his head under water, Baker imme-
diately went to the rescue and found
that Cornyn was unable to move or
assist himself. Baker carried him
ashore and he was hurried home in an
automobile. He had struck his head
either on the sandy bottom of the
beach or on a sunken log. His neck
was broken, and his body absolutely
paralyzed. Cornyn was able to talk
and at once said that ho feared that
he would be drowned before his friend
realized what was wrong. He re-
mained conscious until noon, when he
died. The vertebrae of his neck were
pushed down two inches along the
backbone." The unfortunate man
leaves a wife and four children, and
has a number of relatives in this vi-
cinity'.
