Large Crowd sees Iiurou flaks Trounce St, Marys Alerts to the tune of 15 to 4 That the 1 -Huron Oaks have now to be looked upon as contended for O.A.L.A. honors, was clearly demonstrated on Wednesday afternoon last, when the O.A.L.A. intermediate team defeated the Alerts of St, Marys, at the park, by a score of 15 to 4. A large crowd was present which shows that lacrosse is com- ing back to its old-time popularity, people being present from Goderich, Tees- water, Lucknow, and other towns. At no stage of the game was the result in doubt, and the clean-cut victory for the home boys was very gratifying to the large crowd present, especially so as the Wingham team had suffered defeat in St. Marys the week previous by 6 to 4, but now they showed clearly they were the superiors of their opponents, the entire team playing clever lacrosse. The game was clean and fast through- out, only two. from each team being penalized. F. C. Waghorne, of Toron- to, refereed the game very satisfactorily to both teams, At the commencement of the game Wingham secured the ball and by fast pasties and good combination scored. This made the Wingham team keen and in another few minutes had worked their way through and added the second goal to their count. St. Marys got the neat face-off and the play centered around the home goal, the Alerts mak: ing a shot on the necs but failed to score, and the play went back into St. Marys' quarters, where Wingham again scored, and when the first quarter ended the game stood Wingham 3, St. Marys 0. WINGHAM, ONTARIO TRURSDAY JULY L 1915 $1 A YEAR IN ADVANCE The second quarter opened with the game centered around the visitors' goal, and after a few minutes fast playing the ball reached the St. Marys' nets, The home team were now working hard and although one man was penalized managed to score two more in quick succession. Time and again the ball came to the home goal, and finally near the close of the quarter the Alerts were awarded their first count. Both teams were working hard, the Alerts taking g courage, but their efforts seemed fruit- less and at half-time the 'score stood 7 to 1 in Wingham's favor. There was very little scoring it the third quarter. Lavelle of St. Marys, was taken ill, and removed from the field, Scott being laid off to even up the teams., With a nine men team the Alertsseemed to have the better of the play and secure another goal, but they could not hold the advantage and fell back and the locals rushed in their only goal for this period, The game again went with the St. Marys team and they had three to their count when the whistle blew. The standing of the teams being Wingham 8, St. Marys 3. The last quartersaw the Oaks at their best. They had the visitors at their mercy and from the start the game was a procession from centre to the St. Marys goal until time was call- ed. Only once, when they secured their fourth goal did the visitors rally. The crowd became wild with en- thusiasm as the score began to climb upward and often came the shout "Make it another." As the score piled up thirteen, fourteen, fifteen, the old-time enthusiasm returned and lacrosse had come back with all its old-time glory. The Citizens' Band furnished music during the intervals of rest, which add- ed much to the enjoyment of the after- noon. To praise any individual player would be absurd, as the team worked so splendidly together and every man put forth his best efforts, every man in his place, the game took ou the form of a machine, which so puzzled the visitors, they could find no way of overcoming the onslaughter. A marked feature of the game was the courtesy with which our boys treat- ed the visitors in having their autos properly looked after so that there could be no repitition of what occurred at St. Marys.

Mr. Wilford will control the sale of the Gunn Fertilizer over a ter- ritory as far as Palmerston and Strat- ford, The large amount of produce handled by the local firm' last season was, no doubt, the means of Mr. Wil- ford securing such an extensive agen- cy.

Some four weeks ago the choir and congregation of 'St. Paul's heard with deep regret that he had tendered his resignation as organist and choirmaster, to take effect the first of July. Mr. Willis has been `connected with St. Paul's for over seven years and has been very happy in his relations there, ever popular with the congre- gation and much liked by the choir, being appointed leader of the choir at that time and organist about four years ago upon the sudden illness of Miss Houghton. During this time he has been deeply interested in his work and much attached to the Church, and un- tiring in his efforts to raise the standard of the choir, and he accomplished much in making it strong, efficient and faith- ful. Upon his success he has been complimented by the vestry, by visiting clergymen and others, and in that time has the record of never having missed a service. The members of the choir who found in him not only an able leader but a kind friend, presented a petition to the wardens of the church that they request Mr. Willis to reconsider his resignation and remain as their leader. Mr, Willis was waited upon to this effect but said, while retaining the happiest memories- of St. Paul's, he could not alter his decision. Mrs. Willis and Mr. Harvey Willis have also been valued members of the choir and will I be much missed there. PATRIOTIC SOCIETY NOTES.
