Mr. Walwin, of Goderiob, occu- pied the pulpit of the Motbotlist ehuroh last Sunday. Sermons so logical and convincing never fail reaohing the heart. Mr. Bruce, L.D.S., of Listowol ; Rev. Wm. Smyth, of Stratford ; Mils Erawk- shaw, of lIarristou, and Dr. McLean, of Goderich, made brief visits to friends in Seaforth last week. Dr. Campbell arrived home last Fri- day from an extended trip through the Western States, British Columbia and Manitoba. Ito appears much improved in health, a fact which hia many friends aro pleased to note. Rev. G. 11.

The horse races drew many out to the course) in the afternoon. The ladies wore largely represented through- out rho crowd—a fact wo thought rather reflected upon the accredited good sense and propriety of the fair sex. Tho fol. lowing is the result :—Open trot, let, "Florence 0." ; 211d, "Molly 13." ; 3rd, "Gunllilda." 2:15 trot, 1st, "Bessie N."; 2nd, Goderich snare ; 3rd, "Lady Vin- cent."
