When they were all satisfied the tables were open to all comers and the waiters were kept busy for a long time. The base ball club desiring some fun them. selves and believing the people assembled at the anniversary would be pleased to witness some games, on their own responsibility invited different clubs to participate in friendly games. Accordingly the Elimville and Freewill B. B• 0. played a game of ball the score standing 5 to 8, 5 innings, in favor of the Elimville boys. About half past seven p. m. a game of football was begun between the Eden and Chiselburst ebbs, and the contest «as keen and excit- ing tbroughout,some spectators who have witnessed many games pronounced it the most skillfully played they ever saw. Cer-, tain it is that better matched teams could not well be found, and although Eden succeeded in making a goal it was by an act of over confidence on the part of Chisel. burst goalkeeper. All were well pleased with the days intertainment and especially with the friendly manner in which the games were conducted.

Whitewashes and good playing were the features of the game, and the score was kept right down for a rustic game, During the game a very uuforlunato acoident oo. aarred, two of the players S. Either and Wm. Lewis Jr. were beth making for a fly ball and not seeing can't other, came to- gether with the forco of two battering-rams striking their heads. Lewis got off with two broken teeth and a bruised head, but Sam was kuoolaed almost senseless, and when he arose from the ground, blood was oozing from his nose and mouth, his cheek was cut open, his forehead badly battered up and in addition thereto bad ablack eye. Duriug our experience in base ball we have never seen any players get used up so badly in a game. Both of them had to leave the field and Sam will be confined to the house for a few days and it will likely be a few weeks before he will be able to do much. But. Lewis will likely be none the worse off in a few days. Play was resumed and other players substituted and at the finish, the score stood 10 to 5 in favor of the side captained by M.

Rev. M. 0. Morlock of Chicago, is visiting his parents told numerous friends here and has on previous visits always favored us with a sermon, and we expected the same on this occasion. as he was born and bred among us, and since his entering the ministry has been one of the moat successful youug preachers in the church, hence we take an interest in him and like to hear him when the 'opportunity 'affords It appears however and is a fact that the Esther people heard of his intended visit to his parents, and Bishop Bowman wrote a letter here instructing the church officials not to allow him to oecnpy the pulpit, stating tbat ne was against them. Now we think this a most unjust notion and judging from the sentiments of the people of the congregation, the action on the part of Bishop Bowman will do the Escher Party a great deal of barna in this locality. We do net wish to discuss church matters io our correspondence, but in this ease we think we are justified in saying what we have and had Mr. Morlock been a stranger or oould anyone bring the slightest charge against his character we would not have said a word about it.

The Windsor Review publishes a story relative to the doings to two worthies, formerly of that place and now located in the vicinity of Toronto and London, known ns Dan Scribner and Walter J. Haynes.
