You find good farming, and bad farming, and intelligent and rule -of -thumb farming and lazy farming. The soil is productive, and in the vicinity of Exeter there are some of the best til- led farms in the country. The farm- ers, with few exceptions, are thrifty and rich, and the town itself is about as dapper in appearance, and the people carry an appearance of comfort and ease. The farmers and people generally in this district are of Eng- lish stook -Devonshire, and have been prominent fanners in Ehgland. It is a noticeable fact that the beef raised en the rich alluvial pastures in this vicinity is superior to the ordinary beef of the country, and the steak you get in Exeter is a treat. Some of the best fed cattle in Canada are sent from this Exeter distric t. L..cltossE 11Lexcer.-The St. Marys lacrosse team carie to Exeter on Mon- day and played their final match of the series with the Exeter team. Ball was faced at 4.30 o'clock, and in a very short space of time the Exeter team scored three goals, and had it not been for the rough playing of the St. Marys team, woull have sent there home with a goose egg. St. Marys finally became desperate and slashing right and left, outwitted the Exeter boys in the hatter of slugging. The visitors, however, were true to their alleged resolutions "win or fight," but notwithstanding the acquisition of men from Toronto, and other first class teams, their desires were not gratified on the winning score. Mr. Jefferson and Mr. Stanley are gentle- manly players, but as for the others they can lay just claim to being effici- ent sluggers. The conduct of the majority of the team and their sides - men both on and off the field was of the hoodlum calibre, and an extra force of police wererequiredtomaintain peace in the streets. The gate receipts amounted to nearly $25, of which the St. Marys team got .two-thirds, but this sum would barely pay half the expense they incurred in hiring fore- ing players.
