SEAFORTH WINS.
• Seaforth fo tb 11
Q a team sprung a
surprise on Friday evening, when
they defeated the Ifast Brucefield team
1 to O. There was a good crowd out
as Brucefield won everything in this
district last year: •A good fast game
was r ex ected and that what they
was w is t e
Y
got.
' Both teams were -in fine condition
'for the first game of the season and
the play, was very close: They were
evenly ma'tcried, although many
picked Brucefield for winners on ac-
count of their extra weight, .How -
'ever, Seaforth got the only tally in
the first half, and the visitors drew a
blank for the evening.
Everyone worked hard and turned
in -a creditable game. Allan, for Sea -
forth, put in his first appearance on
the team at a scheduled game. The
Reid brothers and "Bill" Wright are
old standbys and played a steady
game. :Chesney, in goal, was right -an
the job and stopped some hot ones,
For Brucefield, the outstanding play-
ers were Mustard, Thompson and
McIver. The play was fairly clean
throughout, although Seaforth goalie
and a Brucefield forward got in a
slight mix-up that 'looked for a mo-
ment as if it would develop into a
real fight. The teams:
Seaforth: Goal, : Ohesney; backs,
"Dot" Reid am6Y Hyslop;s1
op, half backs,
Allan, Dawson Reid and Dolmage;
centre, McGeoch; left wing, Fitzger-
ald and "Bill" right; right wing,

VICTORIA DAY I5 SEAFORTH
To many of the youngsters of to-
day, Queen Victoria is only a name.
in history. They have no conception
of they romance; the love, and loyalty
the 24th of May had for thejboys and
girls of the 60's, 70's and 80's. The
piling -people and some of the old,
also, could not conceive of a time
when Victoria was ant' the Queen.
When' Victoria died, her son; King
Edward, whose birthday came in the
fall, asked that the 24th still be ra
holiday, and it was called Victoria
Day.
This year it came on a perfect day
for an outing. There was no big ele-
bration in Seaforth, ', but abo t 11
o'clock in the morning there was
considerable excitement when z
stable at the rear of the town hall
was threatened with destruction by
fire, It seems some boys had been
upon the "balcony" of the new town
water tank and had thrown fire crack
ors into the air, some lighting on the
shingle roof of stable. It started
a small fire which was put out by the
prompt work ,of the firemen.
The bowlers and golfers both had
a busy day. A number of carloads
attended the races in Mitchell and in
the evening a great many of the
young people attended ;the opening
dance at the pavilion in Bayfield..
