MONDAY'S CONCERT.
• The Young Peoples' League df Wee-
ley -Willis ehurch-put on a concert in
the church on Monday evening which
proved to be a most successful affair.
The program was given entirely by
local talent;. except for the assistance
of Mrs. Vanwick, reader, Winglzam,
whose '•contributions were very much
a:dpieciated. Mrs. Vanwiek is a fin-
ished entertainer, who seemed`equaliy
at home in portraying 'scenes grave
or gay. Her first number, portray,
ing a scene in Belgium during the
war' was very well done, but another
of a little boy "lceelcing"'at his''Sister
and her young' man courting, was
equally well done. Clinton people will
welcome Mrs. Vanwicic again.
Those. taking part in the musical
part of the program were: the Syne
phony Orchestra, -which gave two
numbers in its very . best. style, and
thet is saying something. 'The ac-
companiment of the pipe 'organ added,
not a little to the beauty of these
numbers and in the optniose of the
writer these two numbers alone were
well worth theprice of admission.
• Mr.Mnrgan Agnew gave a cornet
solo and a- saxiphone sena, with organ
accompaniment, both of which were
appreciated.
Mrs. Agnew and Mrs. W. E. Perdue
rendered an organ and, ;piano duet
very ,pleasingly,,
• Misses Annie Stewart and Ferrol
Higgins each rendered. -a caustic of
solos very sweetly and pleasingly,
and each responded to an`encoi•e,
Dr.' Fred G. Thompson and Mr. A.
McKintron sang a duet, g the
only ,masculine voices .heard, and
added variety to the program, M'rs.
Agnew acted as aceoanitanist during
the entire evening,
The program was long enough .bot
net too lengthy and seemed to be uni-
versally pleasing. "Several'/were heard
to remark afterwards that they had
often paid seventy-five cents for an
inferior concert, which might easily
be done, Clinton is fortunate in emee

of tine respective grout is were: Loyola,
Queens and 0. A. C. In the finals
Loyola won, but the 0. A. C. defeated

CA.NADIb;NS WIN.
In a brilliant game played ori last
Friday Might, to.break a tie between
the St/Pats and the Canadians, the
latter won: in "a score .of 3-1, giving
there a lead of 2 goals and making
them winners of the silver cup offered
by The News -Record to the team
winning- the greatest number of
games in the Town League series.
The game Friday night kept the in-
tet'est of the spectators from the
start. The teams .startod with a 5 -all
score and;for a time during the. game
Friday they stood with a score of
0 -all, and it looked as if it might end
in another tie, but the Canadiens,
spurting themselves on, scored two
more in quick succession and the
game was theirs.'
The St. Pats played a' good ganie
and the result might have been clif-
eerent but for the goal keeping of L.
Pearson, who made it extremely die-
fieult to get anything in the way of
a puck past him.
Those who have followed these
Town 'League games 'say that the
boys have developed wohderfu].l,y dur-
ing the season, and many of, them
show speed and skill on the ice. The
St. Pats seemed' to be in the learn dur-
ing ;the first, part of. the season, the
Cariadithis running then a close' se-
cond, but these two teams do not by
any, means contain all the good play-
ers, alar did the games inwhich they
participated show all the brilliant
