• CHIVALRY Nu'1' DEAD.—All the
G. 7'. 1u. conductors ate accommo-
dating. There is nu room for argu-
ment ou that point. There are
solve of them that exceed Chester-
field in politeness when a lady is
concerned, and an example of this
was given on the Goderich div-
ision. Just as the train was palling
out of one of the stations telt uorth
a lady passenger was heard to ex-
plain ” I forgot to kiss them 1" and
wildly rushing after the train could
be seen two ladies who had accom;
!rallied her to the station, The
agony of the ladies was too much
fur the local hearted conductor-, the
descrijetionof whour givdn by our in-
formant corresponding closely with
the obliging Crawford. IIe pulled
the string and stopped the train.
Tho ladies came up and kissed the
departing one, and while the sweet-
ness of' the osculations and the con-
ductor's kind action still lingered
about, the train resumed its jour-
ney southward. This action calls
to mind the days of the cavaliers,
when a woman's lightest wish was
law
THE WOMEN Wes,—The largeet
crowd which has assembled in At-
lantic Park for a long time attended
what may, by au awful stretch of
courtesy, be called a baseball snatch
betweou the Atlautics and a team of
seven sun -burned, clock -stocking
young women and a pitcher and
catcher, The pitcher and catcher
were of such a masculine appear-
ance as to lead to the conclusion that
nature had made a terrible mistake
in their construction. The visitors
were dressed in short skirts reaching
to the knee, blouse waists, jockeys
caps and black combination stock-
ings and tights. It would be a
statement wider of the truth than
anyone would care to slake, to say
that the girls can play ball, or that
there is the remotest possibility of
their ever being 'able to play the
game. Outside pitcher and catcher
they cannot throw, and none of
then can field. They, however,
seem to try to play as well and as
earnestly as they eau and they run
fairly well, One of the team,
regardless of consequences, actually
slid to the base on several occasions.
The Allanties realized, after the
first ball or two had been pitched,
that it would be folly to attempt to
play ball, for if they did, none of
the girls would evot' reach first base
and, being too gallant to beat the
girls, manage 1 to keep behind by
throwing the ball over the third
baseman's head when it should
have been thrown' to first base.
This, no doubt, was fun for the
Atlantics and pie for the girls, but
it was not very pleasant to those
who had hoped to see some excuse
for a ball game at the worst. Hub
McColl was the umpire, and did
much to assist„the girls in winning.
There we're fully 3,500 persons pre-
sent, a large percentage of whom
were ladies, and a larger percentage
small boys. It might not be out of
place to ,remark that is it understood
that tho women won the game by a
score of 98 to 12,—St. Thomas
Journal.

BRYSON'S LAST Wonns.—Three
weeks ago THE NEWS -RECORD re-
lated a few interesting facts con-
cerning George Bryson, at ono time
a station agent in the township of
Howick, county of Iluron, hut who
was recently executed at Boulder,
Montana, for the murder of his
mistress, Annie Lindstrum. It
should be stated that when Bryson
went west from the county of
Huron, he loft behind him a young
wire and a little girl of tender
years, The day before the wretch-
ed man met his doom on the scaly
fold he penned a letter to his child,
which has just been received by
the deceased's parents in Howick.
The letter exhorts his daughter as
to her conduct in life, and protests
his innocence. Bryson, died pro-
testing his innocence, and these
were his last words, spoken from
the gallowa: " In conclusion, I
meet state that the Territory of
Montana in hanging George D.
Bryson "con -units a judicial murder,
breaks the hearts of the most noble
father and mother in the world, and
dishonors the most honorable name
in Canadian history."

COIJNCiLLttR JOHNSTON
ABROAD.
Ma. EDITOR.—Kinds) allow me
'space in your tory paper for a few
words about my recent trip through
Ontario and Manitoba. I left Goder•
ich Wednesday 31st of July, on the
Campana, stopping at Kincardine,
thence to.Richard's landing. Lovely
scenery through the Devil's Gap to
the "Soo." Boats were also passed by
the score on our way to Port Arthur.
We stopped at Silver Islet, went
ashore, viewed the deserted town
and the ponderous mill used for
crushing the silver ore. Arrived at
Port Arthur on Friday. This is a
flourishing town. The Captain and
officers of the boat tried to make the
voyage as pleasarjt-as possible. No
profanity heard during the trip.
Leaving PortArthur for Winnipeg
by the C. P. R. the bare rocks and
stunted shrubbery 'on the hills was
all that was to be seen for hundreds
of miles. Saw one cow a few miles
out from Port Arthur, after 15 hours
run saw another cow, and she ap-
peared to be on her knees praying
for grass. A few utiles from Winni-
peg the prairie country came in
view. Arrived in Winnipeg Satur
day noon, making close connections
with trains for west and southwest.
Had just time to take a glass of ale
before taking train for Pilot Mound,
a flourishing town 125 miles west of
Winnipeg. Got there at 7 p. m„ pass-
ing on the way some very fine coun-
try, but owing to the drouth the
crops looked very poor. At Pilot
Mound was stet by dr. and Mrs, ale -
Cool and drove home with them and
fulfilled the scriptural injunction by
resting on the Sabbath. Monday en-
joyed myself immensely shooting
gophers but after slaying them by the
dozen with shotgun and rifle, 1 was
forced to beat a retreat. '1.'hey were
so numeroua'that it was common to
see them in half-dozen lots jeering
me because I could not shoot them
all at once. f hoisted the flag of
truce and allowed them to remain
masters of the , battle ground. On
Friday I hired a broncho and•buclz-
board anis started-overlruld with Mr.
McCool for Plumb Creek, 125 miles
distant, crossing the Pembina valley
bordered with hills and fringed with
shrubbery, intermingled with sturdy
oaks, and hay stacks on the open
patches of plain, the 'whole going to
make up a picture that would de-
light the heart of an easteru artist,
Further across the prairie we reach
Otenaw, on our way camping for
dinner and to feed the broncho.
Then through the Tiger hills and
past a small lake that swarmed with
(lucks and a few wild geese. 0, how
I wished for gun and dog! but alas,
both had been left behind, so the
game bad to remain unmolested.
Proceeding we reached Glenboro, a
stirring town where we enjoyed a
good square meal. This is the ter.
minus of the Manitoba South West.
ern Ry., and has a good farming
country about it: About ten miles
from Glenboro we struck the Assina,
bola river which we forded at Mc
Combs ferry. On the north side of
the river we strike the Sand hills,
rightly named. Tiring of the sand
we crossed back to the south side
near Glen Souris and reached Bram
don noon Saturday, where we met
Messrs. D. Jackson and W. Whitely
of Mullett. Mr. J. Churchill from
Goderich 'fp., and Mr Townsend from
Clinton. Then we went westward to
Mr. 'Phos. Stephenson's, making the
trip of 125Miles in less than two
days, it would bother most of the
Clinton speeders to do better. Mr.
and Mrs.Stephenson were more than
pleased to see us. Sunday we went
to see Mr. A. Morrison and were
heartily welcomed by ,himself and
family, all being glad to hear of old
friends in and around Clinton. Re-
turning to Mr. Stephenson's we met
with an Englishman who was going
to church and he invited us to a
meeting after church, providing he
could borrow aa bulldog. His meet-
ing opened, by his taking his text
from a box. The text was a living
badger. Singing was commenced
by the bulldog and was joined in the
chorus by six collies. After a roues
ing sermon for three quarters of an
hour the Englishman's proceedings
were close) by his claiming the care
case of the badger. Had dinner
next day with T. A. Tamblyn of the
Central hotel, Brandon. We con•
tinued our return journey to Mr.
McCools, having dinner again on the
old camp ground. Mr. Stephenson
has 110 acres of wheat that will aver-
age 20 bushels, Mr. J. Morrison
about the same. Mrs. Cooke, form-
erly "of Clinton, has a good erop, also
Mr. Morrison Sr. Here I saw the
biggest ox team I ever came across,
they beat Mr. .Jas. Fair's. Hay is
very plentiful there. Around Bran-
don crops are abort, considerably
below the average. Around Glen-

boro'a good average. In the !guides.
boro settlement they would have
been considerably above the average
bad it not b.een that the gophers
destroyed about one third of them,
patches of 25 acres' in many places
being completely ,destroyed. The
average wheat crop' here ! should
say would be -about ten bushels per
acre. •Here I helped to fire a steam
engine feeding it with. straw for fuel
while we crushed 260 bags of wheat,
oats and barley. Mrs. McCool and I
drove to Thos. 'laggards who runs an
extensive farm. While Mr. II. and 1
were viewing the crops and the work -
Ing of three binders we came across
a covey of prairie chickens. 'Though
I had a. rifle I preferred a shot gun
brought by Mr. Ilaggard's son
"laughing Fred", and I succeeded
in bagging three birds, taking two
on the wing and the third sitting. I
was highly delighted with this coun-
try and working men can make
money here easier than iu Ontario.
On my return trip left Pilot Mound
on 19th August and reached Winni•
peg same evening. It is not unusual
to see a yoke of oxen and a span of
bronchos hitched to a binder. It
rained that night in Winnipeg, and
in walking the streets next morning
1 thought I had a homestead farm on
one foot and a preemption claim on
the other, with such wholesouled
tenacity does the soil stick to ones
boots. Went to the bay market,
half breeds were asking $8 a ton for
hay. It they,don't sell they lay down
under their waggons and stay all
night quite contented. Near the
junction of the Assinaboia and Red
rivers there arta some fine bridges
and residences. 1 stayed at the
Woodbine hotel where I saw Rance,
Newmarch, iI. Steep, Shaw and
others from Clinton. Took train
for Portage La Prairie where 1 got a
hearty reception from Captain W.
Sheppard. Drove 6 miles out with
him to his farm and saw the best
crop of wheat in my travels. As
far as the eyes could reach were
broad acres of golden wheat which I
think will yield close to 40 bushels
an acre. It is no rarity to see three
or four binders in the field each But-
ting from 18 to 20 acres per day.
There are good crops also about
High Bluff and Poplar Point end all
about harvested on the 24th August.
Captain Sheppard was busy with the
raoe track, races to come off on 27th
August. The Portage is a nice place
but too many half breeds to suit me.
Mr. Sheppard is doing a good busi-
ness in his hotel. Saw teacher Mc-.
Lean, Mr. Swinbank and Mr. Henry
from Clinton here. Returning to
Winnipeg started for Port Arthur.
We were delayed by a defective
bridge. A heavy freight train pass-
ed over it previous to our coming
along, but in the meantime it had
sunk 3 or 4 feet in the centre, so
that we had to walk across it, some
of the bridge men carrying the lady
passenger's. Our train had to be
hauled across by an engine on the
farther side, then we speeded toward
Port Arthur again, often not going
more than 20 miles a honr. This is
a terrible section for mountain and
rock. Not much farming land about
Port Arthur, but 1 saw very good
potatoes, cabbages and other vege-
tables raised iu the vicinity. ,Took'
passage on the Campana at 6.P. m.
Monday August 26. She had 20,000
bushels of wheat, 50 car loads of
flour and 50 passengers. Got to the
Sault at 7"next evening. While the
boat was going through the locks
went to the American side and saw
street cars run by electricity. Now
we are gliding along the bluo waters
of Lake ' Huron bound for Sarnia.
Early in the morning whens near-
ing there the passengers were starts.
ed by the uuearthly tooting of boat
whistles. They jumped out of their
berths pretty lively and found a ter-
rible fog prevailing and some wrong
signals given -so ;that a large boat
bore right down for ours and struck
usalaunching a good sized hole in the
Capana but away up above the
water line. The timbers of the bow
of the other beat seemed to have
suffered from the collision more, and
she had to go back to Sarnia for re-
pairs. The force of the collision
would have been greater but that the
engines of our boat were reversed
in time. We landed safe at Sarnia
thence by train to London and home
to Clinton again, much pleased with
my trip and the prospects of Mani•.
toba.
