Mr. Orr, the new landlord of the Al- bion hotel, took possession on Tuesday afternoon last. He comes here with a good reputation; and will, no doubt, keep up the high stand this hotel now has as a commercial house. Rev. and Mrs. Greene intend visiting the World's Fair at Chicago shortly. Mrs. Geo. Green, of Wingham, is vis- iting with her mother, Mrs. A. B. Alli- son, in this village, at present. Mrs. Al- lison has not been enjoging-good health of late. - Mr. Archie Melntosh has moved into the residence over Greer's shoe store, where he will reside with his family for a short time. A disgraceful affair occurred here on the night of the'tournament which may yet bring one young man a severe but well -merited punishment. . The young man, whose name we have not .yet learned, but who is reported to have came from Orangeville to play lacrosse with the Harriston team, formed. the -ac- quaintance of a daughter of Jas. Mc- Grath during the afternoon, and late in the evening persuaded the girl to ac- company hire for a walk. When they had got some distance south of Wrn.. Gregg's farm, the young man assaizited the girl, whose cries and struggles for- tunately brought help to the scene be- fore he had accomplished his purposs. ]Ie then disappeared and got - out of gown as best he could in the dark. A day or two afterwards. an arrest wWs made in Orangeville, but when the prisoner was brought before Miss Mc- Grath she stated that he was not the person who had assaulted her. . To -day (Tuesday) the constables are in Strat-' ford where it is expected they have se- cured the criminal, who will be brought here for preliminary trial, and a gener- al hopers expressed that heavy justice may be dealt out to him. • Mr. J. R. Williams, undertaker,of this village, is in Toronto taking a course in the Toronto School of Embalming. Mr. W. hasgreatly improved the under- taking department of his business of late, having now one of the finest hearses in the county and as choice a selection of coffins, shrouds, etc., as can be found anywhere, and is now prepay- ing himself for the highest requirements in the art`of embalming. THE DEMONSTRATION. There was a la rge turn -out at the tournament held here on Friday last. The weather was just threatening enough, early in the morning, to pre- vent some from coming from very far,. but later on the sun came out and the weather was delightfnl. The com- mittee did everything in its power to have each event come off as announced but the failure of the Listowel base ball clunk to be present and the persistent and disgusting kicking constantlyindulged in by the various teams from Wingharn made things somewhat unpleasant for the spectators. The, Gerrie Brass Band rendered really first-class music during the day and received much favorable comments Wingham and Listowel - were pitted against each other for the base ball prize in the forenoon, but the non -ar- rival of the latter crab necessitated a change. Winglra.m finally Consented to play an exhibition game with the Unions on being assured that they would get $20, win or lose. Five in. nings of very poor ball were played in which the Unions came out ahead by a score of about 20 to 10. After dinner a very spirited and exciting,game of base ball was played between the married men of Wroxeter and Gorrie and the unmarried men of the same . villages. This game was greatly enjoyed by all. In its : first stage the benedicts . kept the lead, but later on the bachelors passed them and won by 'a large majority. lacrosse match' ' was to have: been next on the program, and; many of the Spectators had' come especially, to see this game. But Wingham objected to two players on the-Harrtston team who hacI played with Orangeville thin sum mer. Nothing that the comm,ttee could do would induce Wingham to go on with the game, and liarristcn refused to put the men off so after about an hour's disgusting wrangling the game was declared off. Then came the foot -ball match, which wound up the sports of the day. The Rangers were short four or five of their regular team, while Wingham was bolstered up by several strong outside players. After fifteen minutes of the second half had expired Eddie Wright, Gorrie boas-keeper,stum- bled in making a kick, and Wingham got the ball through. From this out Wingham played a defence game and their nimble goal -keeper had his hands full, dexterously stopping a dozen or so shots on goal. The game ended 1 goal to 0 in favor of Wingham. The tournament proved a financial success, but unless some plan can be adopted to prevent the tiresome dis- putes amongt the players, tournaments will soon fall into disfavor. • NOTES. A refreshment stand on the ground did a good business all the afternoon. Among the spectators were the edi- tors of the Harriston Tribune, 'Wing - ham Times i'ing- ham.Times and Advance. An unusual- ly large number of ladies Latched the base ball game, Married vs. Single but just about all -their sympathies went out to the former. There certainly were some on the bachelors' team old enough 'to have been playing on the other side. The lacrosse "kicaers" no doubt enjoyed themselves but it cost them $20, and the committee was so much richer. That money should now be divided -between the Brass Band 'and Foot Ball club. WTroxe'ter. - . • • Mr. Jno., Sanderson and bride have returned from Scotland. - • - A • dozen or so of our citizens will start for Chicago this week to visit the World's Fair. The Alerts of London were anxious to get on a game with the Unions, offer- ing the boys a large guarantee, but a e t:isfactory date could not be arranged and the match has since fallen through. Tlie I.O.O.F. are completing arrange- ments for a grand entertainment to be held about the middle of October. Among the talent will be Miss Alex- ander; the famous elocutionist, and Mr. W. .Ramsey, Canada's greatest humor- ist. On Tuesday the officers of Wroxeter Council of the Royal Arcanum net the widow of the late Matthew Buntin at the station in this village, and formally presented her with a cheque for $3,000 being the amount of her unfortunate husbi:.d's insurance in that society. The payment was somewhat delayed by reason of the death having occurred in Toronto, two trips to that city being necessary in making out the. papers. Only. six weeks have elapsed, how- ever since Mr. Buntin's death. The lady was profuse in her 'thanks to the Society: A lawn social, under the auspices. of the, ;Wroxeter Ladies' - Aid Society will be held at the residence of Mrs. Thos. Evans, Turnberry, on Friday, Sept. `.Qnd. Tea will he served from 4 to 7 p.n.. Special entertainment has been reserved for the young.folk in the early part of -the evening.

About 50 people got on the train at Fordwich station last Tuesday to take in the Big Show in Toronto.

A man has to be as sweet -tempered as a preacher to stand the chafing of the neighbors when he gets in the above predicament, - Messrs. Jas. Hunter and John John- ston attended the meeting of the Pres. bytery in Mount .Forest on Tuesday. The Gorrie and Fordwich Presby- terian churches have extended a call to Rev. Mr. Pritchard. Lakelet.

Some one has been throwing mud at a gentleman of this section over an item in the GAZETTE a few weeks ago com- plimenting the Orange Hill School, While we have not seen the Mi ld-throw- ing article, yet we can inform the party who wrote it that, like many another poodle, he barked up the wrong tree. The article - in the GAZETTE was not written by the gentleman he insinuates, '--ED. On Saturday afternoon last, as Mr. Walter Simpson, of Howick,- was cross- ing the C.P.R. at Gemn ill's crossing._in Turnberry, his buggy was struck by the engine of Toronto train, reel the seat and top, with Mr. Simpson, wife and child, were thrown into the catch, while the horse and balance of the buggy, minus a wheel, escaped. The horse ran away and broke the shafts and got loose from the buggy, but was soon caught, none the worse. The crest:his is a darn gerous one, and Mr. Simpt:eu says that the signal was not given at a proper place, and that be did not see the train until it was almost on him, when he gave the horse a cut with a whip, and it jumped forward, and, no doubt, savel the occupants of the buggy from an- un: `timely death. Mr. Simpson,, we under- stand, has been- consulting -a lawyer, with the object of taking action for damages against the railway company. - Mr. Simpson, wife and child, escaped injury, except being pretty well shook rip. _ Wingham Tv�tzes..
