His Honor Judge Doyl last week gave
judgment in tbe•appeal o the Town of

Township of Turnberry a the Wingham

situated in the Township, and had been
liable for taxes when o •ned by the
Wingham Electric Light ng Co. Un-
der the law, mnnioipa property is
not liable for taxes, and t e judge ac-
ootdingly sustained the a . •eal. It may
be said that the gnashing of the assess•

The weekly band con •erts by the

WINGlAMITES TA CI; A. DAY O1=1`.
.ii tICCessftll and Lnjo able Tiine at Hin-
eardine.--Lawn whftg, Lacrosse
and Basest 11 Ganes,
The weather on T. sday morning was
not of the most favo ' ble or promising
kind for an enjoyable day's outing, but
notwithstanding a et:' dv downpour of
rain which conimenett between 7 and 8
o'clock and continua4 until about 10,
the citizens in large u tubers braved the
elements and betook -hemselves to the
0, T. R. station, bon d for Kincardiue.
Arrangements had -en made for a
special train to leave Wingbam about
half -past eight, or tut :nty minutes be-
fore the arrival of • 1. t excursion train
from Mitchell. Fo some reasou or
other, probably on ace ant of the rain,
the special was ca celled, and the
Wingbamltes had to sit for the latter.
It steamed in shortly = fter nine o'clock,
comprising thirteen teaches drawn by
two engines, and c ntaiuing a large
number of passengers from points along
the line. It was not ong before every
available seat was fill d, and many were
compelled to stand in he car aisles dur-
ing the entire jonrne , After about au
hour's joeruey the 1 e town was reach-
ed, and the majority .f the party made
their way at once to he park ou the lake
shore. The clouds fad broken away,
and the remainder o' the day was fine,
with a refreshing br eze from the water.
Arriving at the pa k it was not long
before all were enjo; ing a hearty mid-
day meal. .The aft rnoon was pleasant•
ly spent in various ays.
In the forenoo four rinks. of the
Wingham Bowlin Club played a friend-
ly game with a li e unmber of Kincard-
ine players, and c me out about25 points
ahead. In the fternoon three rinks
played, and at the lose the Kincardine
players were 7 in t e lead.
Wingham and. Kincardine juniors
played baseball i the afternoon, the
locals winning by , runs to 7. '
Considerable interest centred in the
schedule lacrosse m tch in District No 4,
between the Wing m and Kincardine
clubs. The game vas a fairly good
one, but the lake t wn boys were too
many for the Win ham eleven. The
Maple Leafs' defen was not able to
cope with Kinard ne's strong home.
Mr. Geo. L..Lllen of ount Forest acted
as referee. The scor was 8 to 4 in favor
of Kincardine.
Two trains convey the party on the
homeward trip, one leaving about 7
o'clock and the of r about twenty
minutes later. The ex nrsionists wended
t heir homeward w feeling that an
enjoyable day had be n spent.
