A BIG CR ID IN ATTENDANCE, The Queen's Birthday was fittingly celebrated here on Thursday last. The weather was all that could *be desired for such an occasion and from early morn crowds of people from both the. town and the country around about began to pour in in a steady stream until upwards of four thousand were here, all anxious to see the sham bat- tle and military- parade. The town was beautifully decorated, every store, business place and many dwellings being embellished with flags of all sizes and colors, the whole presenting a very animated appearance. At a little after nine the military cadets and artillery assembled at the armoury and the word was given to march to the recreation grounds. ' Previous to this the Boer army hadquietly gathered on the said grounds and taken up their position, When "Lord Roberts" ar- rived with troops thousands had .filled the grounds and thus caused. the mili- tary to be cramped for room, How- ever, they formed in position and on word of Gonnand'a furious fusilacle announced that the Boers were fully aware of the arrival of the British. After a ,well executed and lively bayo- net charge in which three or four Brit- ish were laid low and carried of in an ambulance, Cronje.surreudered and was taken to Lord Roberts. Then the procession `tended its -wax up to the to .11 Wiles ithe key WAS hitndecl by the Reese and Council to General Roberts and the procession proceeded to the marketplace where the Reeve called for cheers, for the Queen, and the 'ca- dets sang "Soldiers of the Queen.""- The' procession dispersed just outside the Conunercial House, after giving cheers for Ladies, ' Military anthe Queen, .Among the most prominent features of the procession were John Bull, `represented by R. Leathorn, also Lancc r by Sohn Tbomp`son; the :artil- lery wagon and gun, driven by S. Bo - bier; the Empire car, containing some of Exeter's prettiest young; ladies, re- presenting differentparts of the Em- pire; Lord Roberts by Capt. Howard; Cronje by James Beer; President Kru- ger in effigy driven by "Hon. Ed. Hall; the fire engine dl" ,th a beautiful silk flag, in charge of Capt. Weekes; several bicycles neatly gotten up, one, representing a ship, steered by "Capt." FIeming, the military commanded by Capt. Rance, of Blyth, and the Cadets Snider coninland of Lieut. Boyd did splendidly. The representatives of the Boer army were excellent. On the whole the procession was grand and reflecSa a great deal of credit on the comnnttr "Y,SY l-us7 ?•e- ...

The Lacroese Match between Clin- ton and Exeter teams began at 11.45 o'clock and. proved, a hotly contested ancl interesting game. It was not one of the league games but the large crowd present appreciated it none the less for that. As they lined up on the field the visitors showed the result of constant practice, while the home team were to some extent handicapp- ed by lack of united team practice. This, however, did not prevent them from giving a good account of them- selves, and: when the season is a little older it is certain no flies ought to light on them. Clinton :secured the ballfrom the face-off and carried it al- most most to Exeter's goal, but Sweet refus= ed to keep it and with a righty effort returned it to the visitors. Here Dickson secured it, but was tripped by Derr and lost it. A struggle in centre ended with Shepherd seizing it for Clinton and dashing down the _field' only to lose it. Vincent, who passed it to Hyndman. Charlie fooled 'em till he got within reach of the goal, when on a nice pass to Snell and Graham, the latter made a bulls eye for Exeter in 6-1 minutes. The play. then kept the refree moving from end to end till some nice combination work and a run by Shepherd threaten- ed Exeter.goa], and Couch nailed the 1st goal for Olinton. in S minutes. The ball then started for Exeter goal again kbit on a neat play by Dignan it came back and Hawkshaw performed the act and 2nd' time for Exeter in 9 min- utes. Ford"seemed a little stiff at first but now he began to open the visitors eyes. He got the ball on his stick and swooped clown the field, ' passing to Hyndman, who oiia long throw made tryfax goal. Matheson return- ed. for e . icrowds and. after a, edit -this n li the 'k defence .1 Hooper, hi p y ,, y Couch made his 2nd goal for Clinton in' 7 minutes. The second half commenced with some pretty stick work • by both teams, the combination by 14Iai'tin, I:lyndman .and Graham being especi- ally noticeaabk. Hawkshaw, too, took a hand in their brilliant play, passing the hall to Snell, who made a most i difficult leg -dodging shot, which 7 add- ed Exeterii minu- tes.ed'anothcl goal fax The visitors now pressed hard` on the home defence but these stalwarts never flinched. In the scramble the goal posts were laid low but the ball. went out to centre. Ford was waiting with steam up and dashed off like a 1`000 horse, but his check tickled his ribs all the way and prevented him from making a throw for laughing. He passed to Tlyndman but Charlie's check stopped the giame for a while by hitting him at a point not mentioned in the rules. The crowd got in the way now and Clinton can thank them for their last goal by >'Holmes in 4 minutes. Before the -tilde was up Kinsman and Shepherd each nn de a brilliant run, and Martin and Ford were doing some nice work, 73ynd- man had just missed a shot on Clin- ton goal when the whistle ' blew.

THE RACES. ., t about one o'clock the large ,c1 ga;btereclitit eh, U, rt Grounds to w ness the. races, The freid or horses WV 0 rather limited, compared with other' years, brit this was by no means the fault of the committee in charge. Good prizes were offered and every other possible means were carried out to make the racos a success, but the 2:00 class and running -races were the only. ones filled.' This state of affairs was doubtless due to such a large fieldlast and previous years; the horsemen were simply afraid and imbued with the idea that they would have to go in fast. company,hence went elsewhere. How- ever, the races contested were none the less entertaining and were watched with momentary interest from start to finish. ' Following is a summary: - 2:80 OLASS-PURSE $200. Roy Goldost, A. G.

The concert in the evening uncles the auspices of the Exeter Lacrosse Club was well patronized wncl in every 'par- ticfilar was a grand success. The chair was filled by J. G. Stanbury in his us- ual happy manner and a choice pro- gram was carried out. The singing by Miss Terranleas i;"c' iaaa-dof, wasomch! enjoyed by the audience. She has a rich voice and her selections were such as to bring out to the best advantage the full vocal powers which she pos- sesses. The singing by Miss Hooper, of London, was also highly appreciated and brought forth much applause. The piano clued by Misses Hicks and Kins- man was well executed as was the piano solo by Miss Martin. The sobs by Dr. Gerry were well .received and the comic songs by Mr. M. Vincent nearly brought down the house. It is needless to say his selections were: much appreciated. Master Bishop Neelins delighted the audience with his scotch dancing and his cleverly ren- dered recitation. The duett by Messrs. Ross and Heming was pleasing and loudly applauded. The concert closed by all singing God Save the Queen. Crediton East. ROBBERY.—On Sunday night last a most Glaring robbery was committed at the store of Mr. England. Entrance was effected by prying off the casing of a window in the rear and taking down the top sash. The thief secured about $15.00 worth of clothing and candies, also some eatables and postage stamps. Their a,;.-l..kacavas also ,1keu and it is supposed was used to carry essa dy the stolen articles. There is no 5i,bat- ever to the guilty parties: Tl. `s a serious discouragement to Mr."I ng- land as he had only lately carrieh3 a stock of Men's furnishings. Somt small change and a large number of postage stumps had been overlooked. The thieves evidently had no use for tabacco or cigars as they were left un- touched. Greenway Mr. C. H.

The horse came tearing' down Christina street, and seeing his. stable, Farr & Brown's livery, he check- ed down a little and turned to enter the barn. The speed at which he was travelling was so great, however, that he dict not make the door, but ran into a shed between the barn and, Barrie's. plumbing shop. The thrill struck the barn, smashing it and the whifiaetree, while the hub and the 'hind wheel caught the other building and bent the axle. The couple were thrown violent- ly out, breaking the dashboard, the young lady being somewhat shaken up but not seriously hurt, while Jennings landed. in a heap by the side of the horse. His face was badly .scraped and lie was otherwise severely' bruised but -no bones broken, and he will be. around again in a few clays. Troubles of a Ministr- To benefit others Rev, J. T. W.
