EAST WAWANOSH.
A very successful picnic was held by
School Section No. 9, on Friday, June
25th in Mr, H. Purdee's woods, who
kindly loaned it for the occasion.
Beautiful weather brought out a large
crowd and a pleasant time was spent by
all; everybody entering into the games
with enthusiasm. The afternoon was
spent in playing baseball and other
games. After supper there were races
and a baseball match by the ladies, but
the real event of the day was the foot-
ball match between the teams of School
Section No. 9 and of No. 11. No. 9
started the game but no goals were
scored in the first half. After changing
ends the boys from No. 11 gradually
got the upper hand and scored two
goals. J. Currie, W. Tompkins and
Sandy Young played a good game for
the winners, while W. Pocock did good
work in goal for the losers, otherwise
the score would have been heavier
against them. The game Was clean
throughout, not a trip being recorded.
Mr. 1'illinger made a good referee,
keeping the boys in hand, and received
three cheers.from all after the game.
The winners gave three ebeers for the
losers, also, showing the good sports
our young men are.
The heavy frost last week did eon-
siderabie damage to many gardens, all
the tender vegetables being cut down.
Potatoes were badly nipped. The frost
seemed to have gone in streaks. In
some parts of the town where gardens
were badly damaged,others not fifty
yards away were entirely untouched.
In the country it is feared the fall
wheat best been affected, as it is just
heading out and in the milky state.
Corn was also badly d,emaged, especially
that grown on low land.
A garden party will beheld under the
auspices of Calvin Church, at the home
of Mr. Wm. Wightman, East Wawa-
nash, on Thursday evening next, July
8th. Everybody is invited to come and
enjoy a good evening's fun. A good
programme will be rendered. The play
