WINGHAM 19 -LONDON 4
The Advance prophesied sometime
ago that Wivgham would doubtless
capture the 0. A. L. A. championship
for this ;district in intermediate
lacrosse. On Saturday the Huron
Oaks journeyed to London and defeat-
ed the home team to the tune'bf 19 4.
The Oaks found little or no opposi-
tion to combat here and the game soon
developed into a run -away for them as
the scores 'by periods show vast: super -
lofty. First quarter—Wingham, •0;
London, 0; second quarter Wingham,
9; London, 2; third quarter—Wingham
19; London, 4.
The Wingham team practically
toyed with the locals and scored goals
at will. Their teamwork and passing
as well as their generalship far excell-
ed the work of the disorganized locale.
E. Hawkins scored eight of the 19
tallies, while Fetterly got 5.
The only time during the whole
game where London made any sort of
a showing was in the first few minutes
of the second period, when Nash and
Slattery scored London's first two
goals, but this spurt soon died out
when the visitors rallied for more
goals and then some more.
Slattery was penalized often for hie
rough tactics, once getting 10 minutes
for opening Anderson's face with bis
steels, Thee

TOWN COUNCIL.
•
Council met in the Council Chamber
of the Town Hall on Monday evening
July 5th. Mayor Irwin in the chair.
Minutes of last meeting and of spec-
ial meeting were read and adopted,
A communication was read from the
Ontario Hydro Electric Association
asking that the Council of Wingham
join their Association, Councillor
Currie thought that if we wished to
induce ally industry to locate here we
should not let a $10 bill for member-
ship fee stand in the way, as he be-
lieved the joining of this association
might be the first step in the right
direction. Moved by Reeve Mitchell
and Councillor Crawford that the com-
munication be filed for further con-
sideration. Moved in amendment by
Councillors Currie and Binkley that
this council instruct the clerk to in-
quire further into the Hydro Electric
Association and should this council
deem it profitable to become members
of same.—Carried.
The report of the Finance Commit-
tee was read and the usual number of
accounts were ordered paid on motion.
of Councillors Patterson and Binkley.
A report of the Street, Sewer and
Sidewalk Committee was read and on
motion of Councillors Binkley and
Currie adopted as read.
The report of the Property and Fire
Committee was readas follows:
1.—That Caretaker get $12 for cut-
ting grass in cemetery, work to ` be
done at once,
2.—That Clerk be authorized to no-
tify all who have tombstones or fences
out of repair to have same repaired
at once.
3 —That caretaker be instructed to
repair tie fence and paint tie and iron
fence.
4.—That walk be allowed to Roe
brothers.
It might be mentioned that the lat-
ter purchased ten lots in the cemetery
and built a large vault.
The above report was adopted on
motion of Councillors Patterson and
VanNorman.
The Light and Water. Committee re-
ported the extension of the water
main on Catherine St. to the corner
of Catherine and Victoria Streets.
By-law No. 734 to affix the exemption
on farm lands in the municipality of
the town of Wingham, was read and
finally` passed on motion of Councillors'
Currie and Binkley.
.Accounts were read as follow; :—
Rae & Thompson $5.61, electric light
supplies; R. W, Adams $25 for inspeet4
ing sewer; R, H. Saint 1 load eubbage
50 cents; and W. J. Boyce for electric.
light supplies. On motion of Patterson
and VanNorman the account of R. H.
Saint was ordered paid and the others
be paid when properly certified by the
chairman of the. proper Committees.
Councillor Currie presented a bill
for $40 from Chas. E. Lepard for dam-
ages done to a fence at the time'when
the sewer was laid through his pro-
perty, the fence had been broken down
and never put up again. Mr. Lepard
uses this field for horses on big days
and intends using it on July 12 h. Al-
though this year's council should not
have had to bear this expense-- they
felt that the previous council should
have attended to the fixing up of it,
and were quite in syndpathy with Mr.
Lenard. On motion of Councillors
Binkley and Patterson the matter was
left in the hands of the Street Com-
mittee with power to act.—Carried.
Council then adjourned to meet on
Tuesday evening to consider estimates.
Wingham Salt Block Sold

Real Estate Agent, Messrs Grey,
Young, and Sparling't have disposed of
their Salt business in town to Mr.
A. Young. Mr. Young conducted a
hardware store here for some years and
is'well known as an honest and capa-
ble business man. The cause of the
selling of the Balt works is due to the
illness of Mr. Sperling, owner and
manager.

DOMINION DAY OBSERVED.
Although lain Fell In Torrents After
Dinner,' Good Program Giv ,n.
The forty=eighth anniversary of
Canada's adolescence to nationhood
was fittingly celebrated in Wingham.
Although the committee had much to
discourage thorn in the fact that they
received a great disappointment in
receiving the following telegram from
Vaughan Publishing Co, on the • even.
ing of June 30th.
Chicago, June 30th, 1915
W. H, Willie, Wingham:—Rail-
road wreck prevented balloon lieople
making connection at Chicago. Can-
not appear, Very sorry. Letter
following.
This was enough to discourage most
people, and then when the crowd be-
gan gathering at the park after dinner
one of the heaviest rains came up and
sent everybody home soaking wet.
The other big attraciion.advertised for
the day, viz. 'The Six Nation Indians'
did not put in appearance at noon and
the committee after a good deal of,
anxious telephoning discovered that
they had got lost on the road but
would reach Wingham in due time.
The celebration commenced at 9 a.m.
with a big parade headed by R. A.
Currie mounted on horseback, A. H.
Wilford's auto carried a number of
young ladies who sang National songs,
then came the Citizens' Band (which
would do credit to any city procession)
followed by the "Alert" fire brigade
attired in grey uniforms. About 20
autos came next, the first ten carried
the wives and families of soldiers who
had left Wingham to assist the Allies
in the present war, The ca'a'lumpians
were very good and went to consider.
able trouble in getting fitted yup. A
character which no doubt would have
brought forth applause was a minature
cannon on email trucks drawn by a
team of ponies which, owing to the
noise of the truck on tie paved street,
became frightened and ran away. A
few decorated bicycles, followed by a
number of school children and the
Kincardine Pipe Band brought up the
rear of the parade. The prizes wore
awarded as follows:—Best decorated
automobile, let, A. 3. Ross, 2nd, Dr.
Ford, 3rd, William Currie. Beet dec-
orated bicycle, 1st, Cecil Merkley, 2nd,
E. Merkley. Calathumpians, 1st, A.
J. Bailey, Kaiser Bill, Zed, W. J.
Boyce, comedian.
The baseball. game at the park be-
tween Clinton and Wingham was wit-
nessed by 'a large crowd, and resulted
in victory for the Wingham team by
score 8 to 5.
The •crowd had nicely gathered to
the lacrosse match at 1.30 between the
Six Nation Indians of Brantford Re-
serve and the Huron Oaks, when the
rain came and everyone had to Ieave,
As soon as the rain was over the Band
followed by the lacrosse teams headed
for the p‘rk once more and old Saul
came out smiling and the remainder
of the day's programme "went like
clock works", The Indians played good
lacrosse, but the Huron Oaks played a
little better and the score resulted 15.4
in favor of the home team. In the
first part of the game excitement ran
high as Winghan: boys commenced
scoring, for no one expected but tbat
the Indians would win, and the remark
was often made by the crowd that the
Indians were only playing, that they
ntelastofthe
in
would make up for it h
game, but this proved wrong, the
Huron Oaks continued scoring and
before the end the game was very one-
sided as the score indicates. W. H.
Gurney was the referee and a good
clean game was played,
Thirty-two pretty little tots were
exhibited in the baby show and the
judges had a very difficult task decid-
ing. The prizes were awarded, thus—
lst, to the babe of Mrs, Geo. Cunning-
ham, Belgrave, 2ad, to th'e babe of
Mrs. Albert Gallagher, Wroxeter.
Another baseball match was played
1 yed
between Clinton and Wingham at 4
p.m. and the latter was again victori'
oue, 3-0. The same team played as in
the morning with the exception of
Telfer pitching instead of Norman
Geddes who. played in the former's
place at short stop, The Wingh m
line up: C. Geddes, catch; Norman
Geddes, piteb; White, let; Scott, 2ed;
Telfer, e. e.; Ross, 3rd; McCallum, 1. 1.;
Huffman, c, f„ Somers, r, 1. The foot-
ball match at 6.80 resulted in still
another victory for Wingham, where-
by they defeated Listowel 4.0.
The °fireworks in the evening was
very good, and the Band conbert given
by the Citizens' Band was much ap-
preciated,
New College Principal
`a(Mr. Foster Ferguson, who has been
engaged as Principal of the Wingham
Business College, has arrived in town
and will move his family here at an
early date, The College will re -open
for the Fall Terra on the last Monday
