Tickets either for the sports or for the evening perform- " micas can also be had oeforehand at Mayor R. G. Scott's seed store. THE JUBILEE GLOBE.—The diamond jub- ilee number of the Toronto Globe which was issued on Wednesday of last week, is one of the handsomest special issue it itaa been our pleasure to see. From a mechanical and and artistic point of view it fully represents the rapid advances which have been made in printing, and combines beauty with rare artistic skill. The edition is replete with poxtraits of the Queen, and of the royal par- sonages, together with some ef the principal points of interest in Canada,while the letter- press is devoted largely to the life of the Queen and. the progressive strides of science in the past sixty years. It is an edition that does more than credit to the man- agement of the Globe and they may justly lay claim to having the finest paper of the kind yet aupplied the public. PRESENTATION.—The gentleman alluded to in the following paragraplowhich we take from the London Advertiser of Wednesday, is well known in Seaforth, having been married here a few weeks ago : " Mr. Wm. Copp, superintendent of the Aakin Street Methodist Sunday school, who recently joined the ranks of the benedicts, was last night surprised in a very pleasant, manner by representatives of the Sunday school and Epworth League, to the number of twelve or fifteen, at his residence, Craig street. Mr. Copp was made the recipient of a very beautiful onyx table, as a token of este& and good wishes.. The presentation was made by Mises Jessie Boake, and Miss Ab- bott read a kindly -worded address. Mr. Copp made a feeling reply:" ' AND NON\ FOR THE—Fus.—Tuesday will be Queen's jubilee clay, and then for the fun. The finishing, touches are being put on now, and the decorations are being hurried along. You will miss a time if you are not in Seaforth on that day. Brussels and Mitchell will' play baseball, and the teams who will play in the big football_ match, ;tee : Southwestern League teano—jackman, of Detroia goel Gourley of FesexaMcDon- ald of Detroit, LackEi Northwood oP -De- troit, Steahens Of Windsor, Watts of De- troit, half backs ; McPherson. of Detroit, Anderson of Chatham, Stewar, of Windsor, Butler of Windsor, R.MeDonald of Detroit, forwards. Huron's representatives will be chesen from the following names : Murray, McKinley,. Elliott, Payne, Muldrew, J. -Jackson, T. Wilson, H. Jackson, S. Dick- son, J. L. Hogg, Wren, Bethune and. Mor- rison. Through an oversight, the name of oneof the principal benevolent societies of Seaforth, the Ancient Order of Foresters, was left off some Of the printed lists of so- cieties taking part in the procession. How- ever, this society will turn out in full force. For the accomodation of visitorg from the east, the evening train going east will *le held over until half past eleven.—This promises to be the greatest celebration ever held in the county. With good' weether success ie now assared. The town will be decorated and illuatinated as it never was before. -e -The repreientatives of the different societies and dubs are requested to meet on the bid market square at 9.30 Tuesday ' 1 " • morning to prepare for the. procession.— Merchants will find evergreen's for decorating fronts of stores distributed at conVenient pieces, which are for their .use free of cost. We trust a liberal use will be made of therii. TWIN CITY AND BEAVERS TIE. —The firatl lacrosse match of the seaeon was played" here on the recreation grounds, on Wednea- day afternoon between the " Twin City "' team from Berlin and Waterloo and the' Beavers of this town. A fairly -large crowd were on the grounds to root on the homel team and they were undoubtedly _ naost pleasantly disappointed at the excellent game which the home players put 'up. The game was a hot one from start to finish and every inch of it was -a fight. Berlin started the scoring, but the Beavers presentli counted, and again Bailin led away, enly to, '3e again tied. This ended the seoring, two' to two. Both teems put up a good' gainee but despite the small amount of practice they have had this year our boys outshone their opnonents anct delighted everybody' with their excellent playing. Just keep it' going boys, it means the championship at the end of the season. • - I A GOOD HORSE APPRECIATED.—We are informed that Mr. Richard Yenning of &era Township, Oxford county, and Mr. John Claery; of Glendale Westministee towiuship, haye each securea the services of the well known stallion, "Kilburn," owned be Messrs. Berry & Geiger, Hansen, for their imported mares. Both gentlemen are extensive and successful horse breeders, and evidently do not inind-going a long distance and payeng a good fee to secure the services of such a stallion as Kilburn. Both the gentlemen named, we are infermed, live over fifty milea from Hansen. It will pay any person who is raising horma to secure the services of a good sire, even although the cost is heavy. Good horses always coni - mend a high price and it does not cost mueh more to raise a good animal cif any kind than it does a scrub. The gentlemen re- ferred to, evidently appreciate this feet.

SHAKESPEARLAN RECITAL—The private Shakesperian readings by Mies Minnie M. Williams, of New York, in the Oddfelleilr's hall, on Monday evening, were fairly well attended. The programme einbraCed Shakespeare's comedy, " The Wintee's Tale," and its rendition by Miss Williams was apparently enjoyed by those present. Her elucidations on the drift a the pley and on the characters therein, were partic- ularly clever and interesting. Although her voice is not a strong one, the differept characters were taken with considerable force and cleyerness,while the distinct enun- ciation of the reader enabled her audience to follow het with -ease. It was a novel entertainment for Seaforth, but we have no doubt was received with pleasure and profit by the audience. • - Coueore DOINGS. —The regular monthly I[ meeting of council was held on Monday \evening last.

ELSA:11TE ENTER.TAINMENT. —A fairly go d audience was present 'at the delsarte en ertainment given in Cardno's hall, on Fr day evening last, by Miss Ella a Fisher and her class here. The physical culture Indy1ements by the full class were thorough- ly appreciated by the audience and fully examplifled the good which these young ladles must derive from instruction of this kind. The pantomimic and elocutionary parts in'the programme were mod capably taken by 'the small pupils as well by the larger ones, the whole class, in their grace, ful and pleasing renditions, reflecting credit on their teacher ; while Mies Fisher's own elocutionary efforts were gratefully received by the, audience. The various tableaux presented during the evening were also meet skilfully done, the peeing aeing par- ticularly good. Just here we woold like to_ make Mention of a nuisance which has at a number of entertainments caused consider- able annoyance to the audience and to the performers. A number of boys, the major- ity of whom should know better, con- grega.te in the gallerrand by their contin- uous noise greatly annoy the audience and mar the pleasure of the evening. They may consider la clever, but we are sure that could they but read the thoughts of others they would feel anything but flat- tered.
