After spending considerable money on it he threw up the contract. New tenders were recently called for, Mr. McGillicuddy receiviug the con- tract at 558,000, an amount in excess of the first _contract, on which at least $10,000 was expended. The Epworth League convention of the Exeter District of the Brethe- dist church, will be held at Kirkton on August 30th. A good program has been prepared.

People from outside points who vis- it Toronto's Exhibition this year will travel more cheaply than rnOst of them have ever done in their lives be- fore. The railroad companies are go- ing to put in a single fare for the round trip, tickets good for the enbire fair. As these teethe are based on the eut rates now in Wee the fare from many points will be exceptionally low. As a matter of fact, to obtain the same re - vent* from the Exhibition business this year as last,tbe railroads would have to carry quite twice as mealy peo- ple, if not more, and it is evident they will not do this. Fon, MANiTOBA„-Twenty-two tickets were sold. at this station op Tuesday for Manitoba and the Northwest. Aumeg the number who left yveobtain- ed the following ;-}1. Towle, Mrs. H. Gill, Percy Cann, J.

Mr. Rowe has the sympathy of the community in his many tribula- tions. THE APPLE Ono?. -The abundant show of blossonas last spring pointed to a large crop of apples, but subse- quent conditions have compelled a modification of the first reports, and the prospects are now fayorable foe only- a pony average yield, Fall apples are a good yield, but winter fruit is scarce and of a poor quality. As the crop in England, Scotland and Wales is very short, there will necessarily be a big demand for Canadian fruit, and the prices will likely range high. LACROSSE.-The Exeter lacrosse team were in St. Marys on Monday and played a league game with the team of that town, the score resulting 8 to 6 in favor of St, Marys. The Exeter team were unable to secure their regular players, and were forced to play some of the Juniors. This leaves St. Marys winners of the championship. The match on Thursday lastbetween the Exeter and Mitchell teams result- ed in favor of the visitors, by a score of 4 to 1. The game was a rough one throughout and many free fights took place. -ID-- ROTTEN EGGS. -A most clispicable trick was played on the Mitchell lacrosse team, while leaving for home on Thursday night. A number of small oys, no doubt disappointed. ab the efeat of the Exeter team, organized into three gangs, and. supplying them- selves well with rotten eggs, became stationed at intervals along main street, and as the rigs drove out for Mitchell, each was given a volly of eggs, a number of the passengers hav- ing their clothing badly bespattered and. almost ruined. Attempts were made to capture the youths, uut hav- ing been well supplied with atamuni- tote the would-be captors were driven back into their rigs as fast as they came out. The conduct of the boys was strongly denounced by thelacrosse club, and. -citizens generally, the Council taking the matter up, and offering a, reward for their conviction. Tuesday a number of the lads were summoned to appear before.Squire Snell, who found some of theuguilty and imposed a, fine of $1.25 or three days in jail, which may put a stop to such conduct. There were eleyen of them. GET YOUR ENVELOPES PRINTED. - The Deputy Postmaster General has issued a circular to postmasters direct- ing their attention to recent changes in the postal laws ad regulations. In this circular he says : "It is particular- ly requested that the name and address of the writer or sender of any letter should be printed or written on the upper left hand corner of the envelope or evra,pper,so that in case there be any deficiency in the postage or address, the article may be returned or the sender communicated with by the local postmaster and. further trouble and delay avoided. In the case of the letter there will be an additional advarttage, insomuch as any letter bearing the sender's address which may fail of delivery at the office of destination, will be returned direct to the sender, saving the charge of 3 cents, which would be made if returned. through the deed letter office." THE TIMES makes a specialty of the printing of envelopes, and can supply them in printed form at a very small advance on the cost of the plain envelopes. Even private residents who have any considerable correspondence should have a few envelopes prbatecl with their name or post office box number in the upper left hand corner. The Cost of this would be trifling and might frequently save them annoy - slide and expense.
