"On Wednesday evening of last

chellafter the hockey game i
chell between Clinton and •the local

led off at the expense' of the visitors.
The Clinton team •and supoprters
came to town 'in motor cars and put
up at one of our hotels. Some .of the

ing administered to the Mitchell team
by deluging one of the cars of the vis-
itirs with a coating of eggs, the'lat..
ter being noted for their senility in
more ways than one. It was an act
entirely uncalled for and one which
the citizens of the town greatly de-
plore, particularly the' members of the
local hockey organization. As far as
we know the visitorswerea fine lot

most among these is 'Mist Steven-

ferent composers. ' Miss, Stevenson's
informative introduction to each of
her numbers made the program in-
structive as well as entertaining.
The program was opened with a
group of familiar' standard. teach-
ing pieces, which . was followed by
Schumaun's Concerto in "A" minor,
with 'W. 'B.' Rothwell at the second
piano. A concerto, MissStevenson
explained,, is the highest form of
musical composition arranged for
.any one instrument. Schumann's
future was assured after com-
posing of the'concerto'and he was
recognized as a composer.
Miss Steveuson's numbers were
chosen with real artistic power and
added to this her lightness: of touch
and keen imagination brought out
the^-eomposer's true meaning. .This
was perhaps most marked in the
exquisitely dainty numbers, "The
Music Box" by Poldine, "Sprites of
the Glen" hy Demme and "The .Two..
Larks" by. Leschetizky, In. "Theme

SOME' ANCIENT COINS?'
Mr. John Walton showed The
News -Record some old coins the other
day, which he said were not likely to
be duplicated in Canada and which
rnight not be found in England out-
side the tente unis. They were for the
,most part old Roman coins, which
had been dug up on the sites of the
old Romah encampments,, in his nat-
ive shire of Bedford, England: Ono
Was said to ,lie-0.,."widow's- note,"the
smallest Roman coin, but several were
not much bigger and all were worst
and cankered by long burial in the
soil Most of them, however. Itad
quite plain to be seen the, "image and
superscription". of, the Roman ruler."
One had two heads on nue side and
one on the other and another had
what looked like the image of a small
tree.
Mir. Walton says that Bedford is
rich in relicts of this sort, which are
dug up from time to time. In his
boyhood he knew_ Worthington
Smith, the archieologist, whom he has
hearddescribe his finds on more than
one occasion, sothat his interest in
such things was aroused.
Mr. Walton has a "Nelson Penny"
but he has small respect for it,it is
too modern beside the, ancient coins
in his collection.'
