Bogey To Head A.
Former Illinois Athletic Club Head
Chosen President of Central
Amateur Athletic Union at An-
nual Meeting Held at Chicago,
. From the Commercial Chronicle of
November 6;b, we clip the following
whicb refers to an old Clinton hoe,
who has made good over in the States.
Many will remember Mr. Racey as he
lived with his uncle, the late Major
Murray -
Edward C. Racey, former president
of the Illinois Athletic Club.was select-
ed bead of the Central Amateur Ath-
letic Union at s meeting held recently
at the Great Northern hotel in Chi-
cago, Slateenakers made their nomi-
nntions and the ticket went through
without any opposition, a fact which
attests conclusively the, popularity of
Mr. Recce?, and the other candidates
with the electors.
Otto Schmidt of the Central Tur-
ners and George Schmeidee of the
Clews:laud Athletic club were elected
vice presidents, and Charles Dern, of
the Naval Reserves, secretary and
trensuree. Frank Martin was made I
official henclicaoper, and the registra. '
tion committee was mile up of Harry
Keetor, chnirtnan, George Water: -
street, and Capt. Joni) J, bolger,
Award of champienships is to be
made by the hoard of control, but it
virtually has been decided to give the
track numbers to Chicago. Cleveland
is After this event, hut the large num-
her of athletes in Chicago is expected
to get the affair for the First Regiment
Armory Athletic assoniation.
The election of Me. Racey comes as
rt timely recognition ot his leadership
'el the world of clean sport. He com.
bines gentlemanly qualieies and true
sportmanship in a manner which has
made him a well known end promi-
nent figure in American athletics, No
organization in the world has done so
much for honest amateur athletics as
has the A. A. U. Through its efforts
this worthy branch of human activity
has been cleansed of many of the
features which in the old days threat-
ened to bring healthy physical conme-
title)) into disrepute in the public eye.
Mr. Racy is one of the men who have
by years of constant effort and 00 -
flagging enthusiasm succeeded in dis-
lodging false impressions in regard to
amateur athletics from the public
mind: His recent elevation to this
high office is a clistinet evidence of
the American tendency to recognize
ancieappreciete true merit at its real
value.
It ig largely due to the A, A. tleand
to the meta of the caliber of Mr. Racy
who have directed • its work, that
-
American athletes lead the world as 1
they do to -clay, and as the Olympian
games of last summer conclusively
proved to theentire world.

Three Proposed Rural Mail Routes
Otit of Clinton
ri he present policy of the Canadian, Postal Department is
to vigorously push the development of the rural mail service.
In the London Inspectorate this branch of the Departments
work is under the supeivision of Mr. 011erhead, a recently
appointed assistant Insmator,
. He has recently been giving his attention to Goderich
Township. Two routes from Goderich and two from Bay-
, field have been mapped out. •
It is the present intention to provide for three routes
horn Clinton :
One along the 16th Concession to the Maitland Conces-
sion; along the Maitland• to Holmesville, thence along the
Huron Road to Clinton.
Another along the Huron Road to a point near Taylor's
corners and thence through the central part of the Township
and back to Clinton.
The third route serves the Bayfield Concession as far as
Cole's School and the easterly part of the Telephone Road.
When these routes have been established, the,Township
,will be fully equipped, so far as rural mail service is concerned.
' In connection with this plan, Dr. C. T. Campbell, Chief
Inspector for the London District and Mr. 011erhead visited
Clinton on Friday last and on' Saturday Mr. 011erhead drove
along the proposed routes.

T, for a social evening in honor
of Mrs. Frank Hall, who has been an
active and willing worker among the

their youth were forced, one by one
to be spelled down. Rev. Mr. Grant
in a few words expressed deep regret
nn the part of the ladies, at the de
parture of Mrs Hall from their midst

home. Blre. Alexander then presented
to her a pretty cream and sugar, Mrs.
Hall replied with a few weeds of

On Monday evening the members of
the Clinton Model School Board pre
sented their retiring president, Mr, F.
13. Hall with a fountain pen. The
presentation was made by Mr 8.
Kemp, who also read an address. For
12 years Mr Hall has been a member
of 5135 Public School Board, The last
8 years be has acted as Chairman and
no small part of the suceess of the
Clinton Model School is tobe attrilme
ed to the untiring efforts of Mr. Hall,
who has shown the greatest interest
in the peogress of the school. His is a
position which will be very hard to
fill, a fact realized very strongly by
his:colleagues of the Model School,
But it is not only the members of
the Board who deplore Mr. Hall's
cclgiareture., On Tuesday evening the
f 'low s expressed their thoughts
on the subject by means of an address
read by Mr. Wesley Moore, who on
behalf of the Lodge presented Mr Hall
with a pair of cuff links, Mr, Hall
made a very fitting reply expressing
his regret that he must sever his con
