Its thousands of visitors, out the Cale-
donian society has been placed on
A SOLID FINANCIAL BAhIS,
which leaves it second to no other organi-
zation of a similar character in the wide
world. In 1881 the present park, con-
sisting uf six acres, was purchmed for
$1,100, and fitted up especially fir the
bottling of the annual games. A grand
stand capable of imacommodating 3,0)0
people, was Erected at a cost of several
hundreds of dollars ; • handsome and
commodious Cohadouian hall, octagon
in shape, and two stories high, has this
year been built, at a coat of $1,600; and
despite the -heavy outlay, necessitated
thereby,theniyet remains in the bank to
the credit of the society over $500. An-
other important matter has been taken
up by the executive, and that is tho des -
semination of useful knowledge, and to
this end a library has been established.

300 volumes, with an ornered additional
itestalmeneof $100 worth now on the
way from Scotland. Two secretaries are
paid $25 for transacting society bust.less

librarian is paid $35 per annum for his
services.

THE ARRANOEMENTs
fur the holding of the games for .188'3
were of the most complete kind. For
months, by poster and otherwise, Luck -
now and Os northern games were kept
well before the public generally., and the
manner in which s generous response was
made frore olitaide points, showed eon=
elusively that a gocd, method for giving
publicity to the gathering had been
adopted. The society placed great faith
upon the co-operation of outsiders in
helping along their games this year, and
it is satisfactory to know that the confi-
dence so reposed was not misplaced.

times and or, all occasions. By 10 e. m.

THE COMPETITION
in the different events was keen. D.
C. Ross succeeden in carrying off the
professional championship premium of
$20, and G. Perrie,of Bruseiels,was Ctill;t1-
ly fortunate in capturing the medal for
the best general athlete in the counties
of Huron and Bruce.
IN THE DANCING
consaderaole excitement wad occasioned
by the fact that Geo. Matheson waa pit-
ted against the Scottish champion, SS m.
McLennan. As it was, Geordie held up
his end in richt good style, and lost
nothing by sizing himself with his re-
nowned opponent. McLennan is a very
fine dancer, and alth:,ugh only reccver-
ing from a severe illness, made* good
figure on the platform. More than one
good judge of the "light fantastic'. was
heard to say that better dancing than
that seen st Lucknow on Wednesday
last it would ice difficult to find.
THE TUO OP WAR,
which was the great event of the day,
took place shortly before 6 o'clock p.et.
The men from Bruce were marshalled
by their old captain, J. C. Currie, while
the Huron team were captained by John
McHarly. For the previous six years
the lEkVoe men had succeeded in drain
their opponents over the score, a
many opinions were risked on the result
of the " tug " this year. As the mon of
both teams stripped for work, 0 was
seen that the Bruce contingent was com-
posed largely of strapping young men of
stsong bone and evidently good wind ;
but it was also seen that the Huron re-
presentatives, although averaging great-
er age, were far heavier than their ap-
ponents, and the prevailing opinion at
once settled down to the fact that the
" tug " this year was going to be a con-
test of weight against wind. If the
Bruce men could succeed in worrying
their ()memento until the wind of the
latter gave out, the pall would, it was
believed, result tit their favor ; if, on
the other hind, tile heavy men started
off with the Bruce men from the word
" go," nothing could save the latter been
being hauled over the bonedary. The
spectators were not kept long in sue-
apence. The white knot:was placed on
the " divide " by John Drumgele, and at
the word " go," from J. D. Stewart, the
Pipers. pull began. Then 0 •vse seen thet the

Messrs J. and R. McKenzie of this
vicinity, whose challenge for tea -cutting
appeared in THE SPINAL two . weeks ago,
feel con. laced that they hold the leading
position for pea -cutting in the County,
as their challenge WAY not accepted by
any parties in the lest week's issue. It
was, however, somewhat mewling to see
the manner in which the redoubtable
'Miyweed- broulit forward tha name.,
cf two young men from I2eeburn, assert-
ing that their record for pea -cutting was'
better than that of the Kintail boys, but
being afraid to back up the assertion by
accepting the Kintail challenge, he
chooses rather to blow up a flimsy bub-
ble, 11 making the separate challenge of
cutting and binding five acres ef oats.
It is quite perceptible that this was
nothing but a blustering way of evading
the original challenge. A person would
readily ctone to 'either one of the follow-
ing conclusions, 1st, that the two tnefl
