Goals will count on the round. Woodstock is reputed to be one of the strong. teams in this league and a good game can •be looked for, as the Celts, as usual, are sure to put up a real battle. Be on deek to see .how the boys perform against regal opposition, 919 * CLINTON 6 - SEAFORTH 1 Well, the. Colts finished up the regular schedule in the O,H.A, group in a blaze of glory by defeating the Seaforth Beavers 6-i on the Beavers' home ice, and at the same time de- stroying that team's chances of get- ting in the play-offs. This was a post- poned game and had been looked forward to with much anticipation. On their appearance in Clinton the Beavers looked like real opposition for the Colts and the match in Sea - forth, so everyone thought, would be a close contest, However, the Colts thought different. A. large crowd of fans followed the team to Seaforth, it being reported that nearly three-quarters of the crowd were Clinton people, and they, as u'suai, did their share to help the team win,, The Colts practically cinched • the game in the first period, when they scored . three goals, while holding their opponents ` scoreless. P. Mi 1iwan tallied the first goal shortly after the game started, Ken- nedy scored the second on a pass front Gibbs one minute later. The *Ewan boys combined nicely for the third, to put them three up, In the second Gibbs and Pickett combin- ed and the latter beat Doig on a pass just in front of the goal. mouth, The McRwan brothers again made a nice rush and scored and shortly after- wards Youngblut batted in Seaforth's only goal on a pass from A. Hilde- brand, who took the puck from S. Rennie. In the third Kennedy and R. M'c- .Ewen combined for the last Clinton goal, the former taking a pass frons. NCcEwan and shooting it into the left top corner past Doig, The Seaforth team broke through on several occa- sions but the puck either went wide of the goal or Elliott was there to hold it out. G, Muir 'was hit . acci- dentally by Pickett's hockey stick and received a nasty cut under the eye that kept him out of the last 40 min- utes of play. Sandy, Doig played a good game in the nets and had plenty to do. George Elliott played his usu. alsteady game, and made several sensational saves, Clinton—Goal, Elliott; : :defence, Kennedy, Rath; centre, R. McEwan; wings, Holmes, ' le. McEwan; subs, Pbskett, Streets, Gibbs, Waters. •Seaforth--.Goal, Doig; defence, Holmes, Rennie; centre, Iiiidebrand; wings, ; Y•ounbglutt Muir; subs, E. Ren ie n , Flannery, .Foster. Referee—Jack McCully, Stratford. Thus the Colts finish the regular schedule without losing a game, and ay e n o w waiting for Mit- chell and G'oderich to, settle their are gument, when they take.on the whi- ner in the group finals, and the final game will be played here some day next week, probably Wednesday. night, and to us the Colts look like sure winners, It has come to the time now when' every ,game eounts and we hope the Colts can' continue on in their win- ning stride right to the Intermediate Championship, Incidentally, in the N.W,O,ILA. the Colts ' were grouped with the St. Marys team, and after piaying twa' games with the Stone .Town team;' and beating them very decisively in both' games, St. Marys gave up the ghost, and gave the Colts the right to go on in the play -dawns of that league. It is hoped that they, will be abie,to work in -the games in both leagues, without the one inter- fering with the other, FATHER DIES IN WEST Mrs. Ii.

SISTER DIES IN GODERICH The death occurred in Goderleh'oni Sunday morning of Mary Steven, wi- dow of the late John Lawson of Au- burn, following a. heart attack after a week's illness: Mrs. Lawson, who was in her 77th year, was born ' at Alma Corners., Hullett Township. Shp. was a member of the Anglican church. She badbeen residing with her daughter, Mrs. Strachan, Tor- onto street, Goderich, for some Tit- tle time, She is also survived by two sons, Joseph and Oliver; two daugh- ters, Mrs. Willis Mountain, of Lon desboro, an d ' Mrs, Mary Finch. Mr. George Stevens and Mee, Ephraim Brown, of Clinton, and Mrs. Alfred Nott, of Sault Ste. Marie are brother and sisters of deceased. A short service was held at the house on, Monday, when the remains were taken to the home of her daugh- ter, Mrs. Wallis Mountain, Londes- born, interment being made in Bali's Cemetery. HIS LAST DAY ON DUTY The new chief of police goes on duty tonight, his work to be from seven p.m, to six a.m. Chief L Stong, finishes up his term this evening and from tonight is free of his official duties. 1Vf'r. Stong has held the position for twelve years, having taken over the post in13 Feb.I' '92 and he has filled 1 it wiMr , d dignity and satisfaction. Ile looked the part, being a man of fine physical development, he set off the uniform to advantage and made a good impression on visitors to the town, When visiting tourists look- ed in at his offices he met them courteously and gave them the infor- mation they needed in a like. manner: Ile was a credit to the town. When his official authority was needed it was there, and people didn't fool with Trim, although it was always his idea to give everyone asfair a deal as was possible. He took no delight in get- ting folk into trouble if a little bit of good advice would keep them out. Then, the many duties around the town hall were done in an efficient manner, the hall and grounds were always in the pink of good order and he took a keen •personee pride' in keep- ing ;the little park looking its best. Indeed, he has set a standard foe the upkeep of the town hall and its, en- virons which will take a bit of doing to keep up. Chief Stong's cheery greeting will be missed by many a citizen as he comes up,town"of a morning, he was looked upon as a friend'' and 'neigh- bor and a mani to rely on when need - • 1Vir..Stang, intends' 'taking a bit of a before he even thinks of talc-, ing onanotherjob, and may tike a little trip, :Sot whatever he does hia friends hope that he will find con-: tentreent and happiness. The new ciief, who will be' equally courteous,' we feel surefor that is: his nature, will be on duty - at night, when. most of us seen to have little need to meet or call upon him. -But that. he will fill the bill seeing to be, taken for granted by Mr. Fitemlin's friends. And during the .day Constable Gr^ealis will be around to look after us all, as he has been doing during the night; for many years and bae.. been doing it very web. Freon this onhe can go home and go to bed at night, knowing that' someone else is looking after the -.town. We hope'. the new' arren entents will work out and if they do . not, satisfactorily, there is no reason why a change can, riot be made. But from tonight Con.` stabieGrealis' will be on duty clueing LITTLE LOCALS Mr. H. E. Rorke is among those who have been somewhat indisposed. this week. • The Liberal ,Club had a jolly card and dancing party Iast evening in ,the" hall above Hawkins' store.

Me Taggart; fifth, a linen table cloth donated by Miss ,Florence Coning- bane. • - A -series of hockey matches will be arranged later to play for the silver cup, won last year by Clinton team. DOING SOME GOOD BOWLING From the Evening Independent, St. Petersburg, Fla., we clip the follow- ing, which speaks for itself: "The Mercer singles final, played at the Bowling• club yesterday after- noon, was the best bowled game of singles witnessed on the local rinks this season. These two past masters of the bowling game, Alec Crawford and Jake Taylor, put on an exhibi- tion that was a treat for the gallery. Alee had a little advantage in the bowling for the first half of the game, at that time leading by 10 points, then. Jake made a great comebaelc and ev- ened the game by the 16th. end and keeping up his fine work, he won out by the score of 111-89." "Jake" certainly enjoys his winters down South, where he can bowl and bowl, day after day. The above match was between two Canadians, M'r. Crawford being a Wiugham man. t I.
