Moore, a stalk of rhubarb which was grown in Mayor Mor- ton's garden, that we think will .beat the record in the way of large rhubarb. The stalk was 8 ionhes round and 23 inches long and the leaf was 3 x 9 feet long and 5 x 10 feet wide. AccmDENOn Wednesday evening, what might been a serious accident happened in front of Mr. J. Hanna's store. A lady cyclist was coming up street, and when in front of Mr. Hanna's store a gentleman driving a horse and rig went to turn the corner, and before he could pull up the animal, it had plunged its front foot through the hind wheel of the bicycle, throwing the, lady teethe ground, but luckily she was not hurt: People should watch where they are going, especially on the front street. To THE MODEL F.tnsr—The excursion to the Model Farm on Monday last was taken apvantage of by a large number from this section. There wore over 300 tickets sold at the Wingham station. On the arrival of the train here there was barely stand- ing room, and when the regular and spe- cial train arrived at Palmerston there were 2060 passengers on board for the Model Farm.

BASEBALL AT BnussaLs—The Wingham baseball club went to Brussels on Friday last and played a game with the team of that town. The score was 85 to 18 in favor of Brussels. This is a large score and neither team could have been any good in this game. The Wingham base- ball chub is badly in need of some "fixing" or they will need to go cut of the business. We have the material in town for a good club and we would like to see the boys pull themselves together and do some work, CANADIAN Fonliseues—All members of the Caaadiau Order of Foresters are in- vited to join with the members of Court Maitland on Sunday morning next, to attend divine service in the Congregational church.

All churches, 0. E. Societies, W. C. T. Unions, Temperance Soeieties, and other Temperance organizations are re- quested to send delegates, so that there may be a full representation from all parts of the Riding. THE JAGAIs CONCERT—The Jarvis consort given in the Opera house on Friday even- ing last was fairly well attended. It is many years since anything so enjoyable in the way of singing was heard in Wingham. Mr. Jarvis' voice is powerful and sympa- thetic, rich and resonant, swelling now to full toned thunder, sinking now to gentlest zepher, and throughout the rang; entirely free from any harshness or any- thing unmusical. His selections were ex- cellent and he has certainly made a place for himself in the hearts of the music loving people here. The singing by Mrs. Dass and the choruses were much admired. The people of Wingham do not patronize an would visit Wingham again the Opera an entertainment of this class the way they should, but we feel assured that if Mr. Jarvis house would not hold the crowd. A POPULAR OFFICIAL—The Kincardine Review of this week refers thus to Mr. John Quirk and family, who will shortly take up their residence here:—"Mr. John Quirk, the popular Conductor on the G. T. R., who has been in the employ of the company twenty-eight years and who has been running into Kincardine for twenty years purposes removing to Wingham shortly, he having been transferred to the regular passenger run between Wingham and London. During these many years Mr. Quirk has been a most active citizen and perhaps no one in Kincardine has done so much to advertise the town as he has. His courtesy to the travelling public has made his "run" popular and while we regret hie departure We congratulate Wing - ham on securing so good a citizen. We are pleased to note that he has been pro- moted, having secured one of the best runs in the company's service. The kindly hospitality of Mr. and Mrs. Quirk and family to persons visiting Kincardine makes them largely known and much admire and the vacancy their departure will c se in Kincardine society will not ea filled." Sacrifice Sale f Sh' =s. asked. No reqs nabl Jas. S. Earl, M cto y be o profit r refused. Block. R. C. Picsrc—The annual picnic under the auspices of the ladies of the R. C. church, at Teeawater, will be held on Tuesday next, June 28th. Piper Archie Anderson, of St. Helens, will grace the grounds in his Highland costume. A game of baseball between Walkerton and Tees - water and a good game of football between clubs from Culross township and other sports have been arranged. There will likely be a number from town go over to spend a pleasant clay. • CHANGE IN Tama Roxs—Conducter T. Parker, who has been in charge of the London train for some time, has been given a new run from London to Windsor, and took his new position last week. Mr. Parker will remove his family to London in the near future. Mr. and Mrs. Parker and family have made many warm friends in Wingham during their residence, who will be sorry to hear of their departure, but will be pleased to hear of his promotion to a better position. Mr. John Quirk, the genial conductor who has been on the W., G. R B. from Kincardine to Palmerston for a number of years, has been given the run from Wingham to London. Mr. Quirk will move lits family from Kincardine to town as soon as he is able to procure a suitable dwelling house. Mr. Quirk's many Wingbam friends will welcome himself and family to Wing - ham.

FOOTBALL, camera= AND WINGHAM PLAY A TIE GAME—TILE MANITOBA CHAMPIONS HELD DOWN TO A SCORE OF ONE GOAL IN THE MOST CLOSE- , LY CONTESTED MATCH EVER PLAY- ED IN WINGHAM—SCORE 1-1 About G00 people congregated on Recre- ation Park on Saturday evening to witness what promised to be one of the best games of football ever played in Wingham. Nor were they disappointed. Although the least sanguine supporters of the home team expected that the visitors would have to ':play ball" to win, yet none entertained the idea for a moment that the wearers of green and white could kick the same ball as these buffaloes from the Prairie Pro- vince. The teams lined up as follows WINGHAM. W. Allenby goal J Nelson E.i S. Coultis . , i backs (• • S. Shoemaker C. 0. Stuart .. j t ..C. W. St. John C. Henderson.. c. half back..A. Thompson T.

M Donoghj left wing (W'B• Walker The play for the first fifteen minutes was in close proximity to Carberry goal and al- though the backs, St. John and Shoemaker made many long drives yet the ball was soon returned. This occurred again and again, resulting finally in a goal for Wing - ham scored in fine style by "Dusty" Mc• Donagh. Play began again and notwith-1 standing the splendid defence of the visitors their goal was constantly harassed. After repeated rushes Hugh Hamilton scored on a pass from the right wing. After con- siderable discussion the goal was disallow- ed, Carberry claimed off -side. For the second half Carberry held the advantage, their team play being exception- ally good, although their forward com- bination rushes wero broken time after time by the excellent checking of Wing - ham's defence. With 24 minutes to play Heber Morrison, a star of the old Hurons, scored after one of the prettiest runs ever seen on a field. As might be expected it was now nip and tuck for the next goal, each player straining every nerve but neither side were able to score, so the game ended one goal each.

Allenby in goal excelled himself, which is a rather strong term. The referee, W. Williams, was all that could be desired. He was "white." Veggie Elliot, inside right, is the smallest and lightest man on the Carberry team. Heber Morrison, who plays centre for Carberry, was one of Seaforth's crack -it - jacks in '96. Wingham's Secretary has received com- munications from Windsor and the Toronto Scots. t3oth are anxious for a match. Dr. Tamlyn "took" the boys before the game began, A number of Carberry boys ordered pictures as a souvenir of their visit. C. W.

The following matches have been played by them on their trip up to date : . With Winnipeg, with whom they played a tie game. Score 1-1 ; With St. Paul. Car- berry won. Score 5-2; With Winghans. Tie. Score 1-1; Clinton. Carberry won - Score 2-0 ; Seaforth. Carberry won. Score 3-1. On our way to Goderich on Monday, we heard a great deal of talk from the Sea - forth footballers with regard to the Wing - ham -Carberry match. They claimed they would have no spectators at their match with Carberry in Seaforth, when a club like Wingham could hold Carberry down. to a tie. We are not as far in the back- woods as are the Seaforthites, when Car- berry could do you up 3 to 1. The Sea - forth people will hoar from the Wingham club at once. CHURUR OTES. Rev.
