LACROSSE.—At a meeting of the " Soots " Lacrosse Club, held on Mon- day evening last, the following officers were appointed for the present year: President, W. W. Meredith; Vice - President, F. Hammett; Captain, J. Bell; Secretary -Treasurer, Geo. Abell; Honorary President, R. McCosh ; Hon- - (wary Vice -President, P. Freeman; Committee—W. Payne, Chas. Hammett and Geo. Boyd; Field -Captain, James Dunn; Manager, .Bert Johnston. The Scots are this year in hater shape than ever before, and we wish them all suc- cess during the coming season. FOOT BALL.—The Maple Leaf Foot Ball Club, champions of the Junior League and winners of the Crawford Cup last fall, held a meeting in the Young Men's Christian Association corn- mitte rooms last Monday evening, and elected officers, and discussed plans for the corning season. The following ofb - -vete were elected : Honorary -Presi- dent, Dr. J. G. Scott; President, Wm. McDonald; Vice -President, Geerge A. Dewar; Captain, John McLean; Sec- retary -Treasurer, John Fairley ; Com mitted, T. Copp, H. Clarkson and W. Finlayson. The boys intend to retain their present trophy if possible, and some interesting matches may be ex- pected. longing to t e,building when not in use. Some perso had gained &epees to this room, remo ed the burner and wick from a lamp and then emptied the oil on the floor and set fire to it. Tho reflec- tion of the flame shone throng , the wiodow, and being noticed by acme parties on Main street they gave the alarm. Belpre they got to the building, however, the oil had burned out, and not having ignited the floor the firebe- i came extinguished • itself. The bo rds of the floor re somewhat blacke ed, but no fart e' damage was done. What object aofpersou could have, other than pure minc1lIf, in starting a fire of this kind, it is impossible to say. The build- ing itself is not a very valuable one, but in the event of its burning, several tesie dences and other valuable property in the vicinity would be greatly en an gered, and besides, all the hose, c rri- ages and other fire apparatus areistroesd in this building, which would al rit certainly be destroyed if not got on in time, and the firemen would then be'pre- vented fromkeeping the flames rom spreading. It is a pity that the p rpe- tra -ors of such dangerous pranks ciiuld not be found out and fittingly punished. OF IMPORTANCE TO FOOT BALLERS.— The Seaforth Recreation Grounds So- ciety propose toihold what ehould' make a very interesting foot ball oompetition on their grounds during the coming summer, viz.: One team will be allowed to enter from each rural schoel in the county, to be composed of phpils and ex -pupils resident in the section, and -under a certain age.

Conditionaare being drawn up to , govern the competition, and teachers or captains of teams are in- vited to call en or correspond with the Secretary, Alex. Wilson, of Lumsden & Wilson, who Will be in a- pesition by Saturday,next to give'all the informa- tion they may desire. • EPARTURE OF AN OLD RESIDENIT.— M. , Archibald McGregor and family, of the 5th concession of McKillop, left here this week for their new hora, near the toWn of Findlay, Ohio, United States, Mii. McGregor has rented a dairy farm of 1160 acres, adjoining the town of Findlay. He has also purchased the dairy stock and plant of the farm, and intends running a dairy, and selling the milk in the adjoining town. He thinks his prospects are good,but as he has 'only rented lis farm in McKillop, he can dome baek to it again if he is not 'little- fied with Uncle Sam's land.

ANOTHER FIRE ALARM.—On Tueeei day, about two o'clock, the fire alarm was.again sounded. The cense of the alarm this time was found to be at the reeidence of Mr. Farrow, Goderio street. Smoke was seen pouring ez_ through the roof sof the building b some passers by, who, supposing the place to be on fire, gave the alarm. Closer investigation showed that in putting up a _stove pipe the end of. th pipe had been placed only through the upper ceiling and did not connect with the chimney by about two feet. As a resalt, when the fire was lighted the smoke all came out of the pipe into the attick, and having no other means of exit came out through the -roof, giving the impression that the house was on fire. People are sometimes not as care- ful as they should be with their stove- pipes, and in this instanee had tilde over sight not been noticed as soon as it wee and a spark entered the ,attick, the coneequencea would have been more serioue. ents rnily e much and deservedly esteemed in neighborhood, and all regret their oval.
