The Stratford Male Quartette, which did such good service at the special anniversary services on Sun day, again won high praise for their excellent musical contributions, while an instrumental quartette, gotten to- gether by Mr. G. Phelan, consisting of his own violin, Miss Winnie Howson of Auburn, piano, and Dr. Toll and his brother, Blyth, cornet and trombone, contributed greatly to the program and was much enjoyed. Mr. George Carter also rendered guitar and mouthorgan selections in his own fine style, while Miss Lovett excelled herself in her readings. And while the entertaining part of the program was much enjoyed the illustrated talk given by Dr. Schutt on the work of the missionaries of the Church. worlc on which he is well versed, as he could tell something as bout each one of the many interest- ing colored plates, was also appreciat- ed. th The committee in charge of the of program was disappointed that a couple of musical numbers which- ising e his Agnew.

E. Dougan, Ph.D., WAS s, in charge, the other resident minis- ters in town being associated with r s him on the platform. After the call to worship by the chairman all stood to repeat the Lord's prayer and the Apostles' creed, then the hymn, '0 God our Help," •was sung and he Rev. D. E.

ED RECALL B LL OLD DAYS Wee hockey, TheNews Record's reprodui�tions. liowing fawn ire early files is proving of l great interest to numbers of citizens trzens who remember the circumstances, some in town and sone away. Mr. B. J. Gibbings, recalling the lacrosse match at Goderieh on Dont, inion Day, 1892, said that the player described as. "Hewitt" was in reality C. H. Cross, who was then attending University in Toronto and came up, to take part. His father had for. bidden him to play lacrosse and this. accounts for the fictitious naive. But. the unfortunate part of it was - that he had a. bone in his hand brok- en in the game and bad to go home thus wounded from the fray. The probability is that he had a rather mteomfcrtable session when explain- ing to his dad. Mr. Crass, who is now practising law in Edmonton, was attorney -general of Alberta in thee govermnent of the late A. G. McKay a few years ago. Mr. Gibhings, who was secretary of the Clinton team, was transacting some business with the umpire and the Clinton boys, already loaded into their carryall, were so beset by row- dies who resented the beating they had administered to the home team, that they drove .off and left hint to get home the best way he could. Mr. Dominic Reynolds brought him home cn his racing gig later. "Them surely- wus the days." H. AND S. CLUB MEETS The regular meeting of the Home and School Club on Tuesday evening was very well attended, in spite of the unfavorable weather, Mrs. G. '1'. Jenkins occupied the chair. Mrs. H. C. Lawson sang a very charming solo during the evening and Miss Sadie Lovett contributed a reading: The main feature of the program was une, a paper on "The Early History of end Clinton," which was given by Mr. } James Scott. This was a very well- prepared paper anti was listened to IF WINTER COMES The touch of winter. over the week -end served as a warning of what we might expect, but Monday was a' Iovely autumn day, fine e- nough for outdoor sports and'the Horse shoe Club was busy again af- ter a few days' halt. This sport was indulged in by its enthusiasts every month last year. Tuesday night, however, brought more snow, three or four inches, and as we write, Wednesday noon, WO look out upon a white world. It is a beautiful one, too, but no doub' this too, shall pass. LITTLE LOCALS Eggs are soaring in price, but the hen; seem to have gone on strike. The Huronie Rebekah Lodge will entertain on Monday evening mem- bers from Mitchell, Milverton and New Hamburg Lodges. Mr. H. E. Rorke received from his son, who is teaching at Silver cen- tre, a fine deer the other day, so he will feast on venison for a spell. Public school and Collegiate ex- aminations are likely to be later next year•, in July rather than in J e classes to continue up to the June. Members of the A, Y. P.
