With •the exception, perhaps, of Nediger, who is am,, old warhorse in the game, none of the Clinton players showed exceptional ab?lity that would mark hien above the others, The roughness .of the ice prevented the players doing their best work." WORLD'S DAY OS' PRAYER The World's Day of Prayer was well observed in Clinton, the meet- ing held in .Wesley -Willis church be- ing e ing largely attended by women of all denominations. The program as arranged by the Inter -board commit- tee of the Women's Missionary So- ciety of Canada was followed. itfrs. Agnew, the church organist; played softly as the congregation gathered, and when the meeting op- ened a period of silence was observ, ed, save for the softs trains of roti, sic from the organ.

The ser- vice throughout was very impressive. ITS A SOLID STRUCTURE Mr. Clark, of Wm. Clark and Son, bridge, contractors, Owen Sound, was in town this week looking over the new bridge over the river and see- ing that everything was finished up. All has been finished hut a bit of polishing, which could not be Clone owing to weather conditions but will be done in the spring. The bridge, which was started on Sept. 23rd, took just a little over four months to complete. Although the weather has been favorable for work, trouble has been caused by floods. The bridge has two spans, 54 feet each; width of i.•oas, 30 feet, side walk 5 feet. The Department is be- ginning to build all bridges 30 feet instead of 24, the old width, and this is one of the first so built. Irl took sixty carloads of material, nine cars of cement and 14 tons of steel and cost $20,000. The old bridge which this one re- places was built forty-four years ago, in 1887. The contractors were Hun, ter Bros., Kincardine, J. Ainsley was County commissioner at the time;, (it was the time of county commis.. sioners) .T. Warren, engineer, D. Wacker, County Warden and P. Ad- amson, County clerk. "How long will the new bridge last," we asked, the contractor. "Oh, I cannot tell you that,' he said. "If nothing happens to it it should stand forever, as cement hardens with time and it should grow stronger each year. "But," he added, "I built just such a bridge a• few years ago, replacing another which had stood sixteen dears 'with its feet on the ground, you might say, scarcely six. inches below the surface, and the new bridge went out with the first spring flood." This wa$ the 'result of the breaking of several dams up stream whieh put a very unusual .strain on this new• one, however: The +foundations of this bridge are she feet 'below the riverbed, so tha'i ought to • give It a pretty solid foat- ing: 16. Clark said he had thoroughly enjoyed his stay in Clinton and that he never had a better gang of -nen to work for. him. Every one taken on had stayed. He hadn't bad to drop one an .had d h had,buI on accident, He takes a gang oe aceid n ten along and de- pends upon getting fifteen local :-nen "I think Clinton was the best gang I've had," he said, "and I've enjoyed m§ experiences here very much." A SUCCESSFUL SUPPER .4. The Valentine seeped 'er served in Wesley -Willis church hall on Tues- day evening, brought out a large crowd and proved a very successful affair. The hall and , tables were appro- priately decorated and the supper Was abundant, well -cooked and well served. The evening was a pleasant one which, no doubt, helped to 'swell the number who tame to; the supper.. The Girls' Club under whose arts - pima the supper 'was held, were pleased' with the proceeds. DRAIN NEEDS OPENING The hews -Record would like to call the attention of the street com- mittee to a crossing which needs at- tention on Mary street. It'. is the one leading into the lane back of the Isaac street business places, the Clinton Poultry House and others; Last fall the tile of this' crossing was taken up and replaced and were so carefully covered up that not a drop of water has run through them since. The water runs down to the spot then out onto the sidewalk. Every heavy rain we have had since has turned that portion of walk into a drain. These tile should be opened tip before the spring rains come, if we will have any spring rains to equal some we have had this whiter. HAD ACCIDIENT IN CAMP Bert Gliddon, son of Mr. and Mrs. S. 'Glidden of town, who went tip north with the Clinton contingent to work an the Northern Developement scheme, happened with an accident last week in which he suffered a broken jaw. They were blasting out some rock when a ,stone flew, past two or three other men, and struck him in the mouth, knocking nearly all hij teeth out and fracturing' his jaw. He was able to walk back to camp, over a mile, and got a train to Dryden, where ho is being given hospital treatment, He will probably be in the hospital for spine weeks. It was an unfortunate accident but it night easilyy have been worse. Had the stone struck his temple it would pi•ebably have killed him and had it struck his eye would certainly have destroyed it. Bert ',writes cheerfully but we have no doubt that he has suffered a good deal and the inconvenience is not all over, as he will have to see about getting a new set of teeth to replace those lost, when, his jaw gets patched up again. AN ACCOMPLISHED ACTRESS The Saint John (N.B.) Times- Globe had the following to say about an entertainment given, recently by Mrs. 3. C. Mackinnon of Moncton, N. B., a foamier resident of Clinton, bet- ter known here, perhaps by her maid- en name, Miss Mae Rance. In the beginning of her career, Mrs. Mac- kinnon appeared more than once on a local program and her friends have a clear recollection of her accom- plishments: "Mrs. Mao Rance Mackinnon, of Moncton, lived up to her national fame as a dramatie artist last night in her monologue of lite Sign of the Cross given in the Vocational School auditorium in aid of the New Brunswick Protestant Orphanage. 11 "Mrs, Mackinnon captured the admiration of her audience with her ability. Briefly, clearly envis-1 ioning the circumstances and envite onnient of the drama's setting, Rome at the time of Nero, slie swept along in beautiful continuity from charac- ter to character, as they appear in the play. Her emotional display gripped the audience and carried it along with breathless interest to the climax. "Some conception of the diffi- cult roles portrayed by Mrs. Mac- kinnon may be realized in recalling the famous characters of the well., known play. There was Nero, reign- ing Emperor of Ronie, cruel, heart- less and blood -thirsty; Popea, Em- press, wife of Nero, shrewd, cruel arid coldly beautiful; Marcus, Rome's Perfect, young, handsome and rich; Tigerlinus, trusted . councillor of Nero, cunning and cruel; three spies under Tigerlinus; a captain of the guard; Bernice, wealthy patrician lady of .Rome; slave • lady to Bernice; a young Rornan matron, a gossip and a flirt; a wealthy nobleman; an old `man, leader . of the Christians 'in Rome; MVfercia, I an orphan girl; a youth and four dancing girls. , "Mr=s. Maekinnon carried off ,the many roles with perfect sympathy and understanding through the wooing gf 1V.t elos with Mercia; the meeting• of Marcus with Mercia; the jealousy of Bernice; 1tilercia'y peril in. Marcus' .palace; the plead. I' ing' of Marcos to. Nero for i.VI'ereia's 1 life, on to the thrilling 'triumph : of the Cross."

Not often are teams so evenly match- ed for strength and speed seen in a contest, Exeter got their counter in the first period on a long shot by Snell, which got under Elliott's guard, The period ended without any fur- ther scoring. In the second period Rath, the lo- cals' star centre, found the net on a neat shot from near centre ice, and shortly after the bell announced the end of the period. The third 'period and the half hour overtime was one steady grind of hard checking and fast skating, with neither side having any no- ticeable margin of superiority. This was the first game on home ice , this season and there was a good attendance of spectators and hockey enthusiasts.. The ice was in fair condition, ;considering the mild weather, which has not favored hoe - Ivey playing this winter but cut up badly before the game was over. The line-ups were as follotvsi ..Exeter -Goal, IGascho; defence,. Wells and Passmore; centre, . Snell; wings, Boyle and Fbster; subs, Bur•: dock, Hogarth, Foster. •. Clinton -Goal, G.
