The powers of the wind prevailed over the Seaforth band last Thursday night before leaving town, driving their drum into darkness and corn- pelling them to wait until morning before finding it.

The picnic on Thursday last was a fair success but as the rain was in- clined to be rather moist the people did not turn out as expected.

The party intended to have a big sail on the lake but on account of the harbor being blocked up they "got left." This is Canadian you know. Outsiders will also recognize the want of a harbor as well as the peo• ple of Bayfield. 'Mayfield. Shaving is all the go, it is better than dressmaking. Loom up Frank ! your S.

The day turned out exceed- ingly fine and everybody enjoyed themselves. A youth who has early learned the'art of oriwe, and unable to dis- tinguish the difference between nteum, and trteun•, has made away with some money belonging to Messrs Grey and McLean. Next time he will not got off so easy. The following announcement is copied from the Dublin Evening Mail, and will bo road with painful interest by the deceased lady's many friends and acquaintances in Canada : " The sad and unexpect- ed death of Mrs. Taylor, wife of the Rev. G. B. Taylor, L.L.B , secretary to the Hibernian Bible Society, and formerly curate of Cloutarf Pariah, occurred ou Thursday last." The friends in this vicinity of the Rev. Geo. B. Taylor, formerly incumbent of Bayfield, but who has been re- sid'i g in Dublin, Ireland, during the past four years, will deeply sympathize with him in his loss. Most of the visitors have left this place for their respective homes. Mr. Bailey had his full comple- ment as usual—We all thought Sidney had unly one mother but he has two and no mistake—Frank's water melons and pea nuts were a perfect failure as regards the picnic, as it turned out a fizzle—What is the reason of the city fathers making a fool of Jack. It is a shame for them—Dick has too many irons in the fire, if he dons not mind he will burn his fingers—Mr. Marks, the School Treasurer, is puzzled to know who to pay the money to for the repairs of the School house as it is misty busines—Capt.

On Thursday night one of the heaviest blows of the season passed over this section of the country. A barge loaded with lumber went to pieces off Goderich and part of her drifted opposite Bayfield and sank, now showing the mast -head above water.

DEAR S1R,—I hope you will allow me the opportunity through your valuable journal to give my cordial thanks to your Port Albert corres- pondent for his manly defence of myself against the unscrupulous at- tacks of one John Ransford—The people of Canada know two things —one is that we have been honestly endeavouring to rid Canada of un- righteous combinations intended to rob the people, and the other is that these combinesters have the hardi- hood to parade themselves as public benefactors when every man in Canada knows that, their only objects are to improperly raise the prices for their own benefit. We are on their tracks, and iiit•eud to follow them. I am yours truly, N. CLARK WALLACE. Ottawa 27 August 1891. Summerhill. Mr. B.

Nor is the manner in which you refer to the umpires and referee in any better accord with the course of a professional reporter, than your reference to the teams. '!'hose officials were chosen by com- mon consent of both Wawa, and it is unsportawanlike, uncalled for, and ungentlemanly in the highest degree, to refer to them as you have done in the article refered to. It is quite possible that the sympathies of our Siaforth friends may have been in the direction of the Dauntless. Clin- ton clubs have always been noted for the courteous receptions tendered to visiting teams. The Hurons unfor- tunately have got a reputation in reverse ratio, and a lively recollec- tion of these facts may have aroused some feeling on that point, but if the Umpires and Referee allowed any such feeling in any way to bias their decisions it was entirely unnoticable to any persorr except the Hurons and their abettors. It was evident to every unprejudiced person that Mr. Campaign intentionally threw the ball over the fence to avoid des feat, and that after being warned by the Referee not to do so, which quite justified the referee in ruling him out_ Mr. Blackford getting his ankle sprained was purely accidental and was not in any way the result of foul play. Nor is your manner of allud- ing to the "Good people of Clinton" any more in keeping with the .4lan,the Gentleman, and Sportsman, than the others. It was known to several of the god people of Clinton that when the- Dauntless played in Goderich, that the llurons were not at all bash- ful in the free use of their clubs. It was also known to several of the people of Clinton that the Hurons bad indulged in very offensive and va'n boasting, much as the Signal has'a weakness in the way of doing. Was it any wonder then that they should feel pleased that their boys came off with whole hides, was it any wonder that they felt pleased that those who "exalted themselves had been abased, and those who humbled themselves had been exalted." I trow not. AN OPEN LETTER. 7'o the Sporting Editor of the Signal. Sia,—In the Signal of Aug. 21st., I noticed an article under the heads ing of "Lost to Clinton," which though purporting to be the work of a newspaper reporter, bears unmis- takable evidence of having been in- dited by some of the soreheads, to which I will shortly allude, This be• comes evident from the fact that, although you allude to the Clinton Lacrosse team as, " ringers " and "outsiders," no allusion whatever is made to the make up of the Goderich team. Itis quite true that the Blyth boys, not having an organised club of their own, solicited the assistance of some of the Clinton boys to play against a Teoswater team ; to which they assented, not for hire, gain, or hope of reward, but purely for the fun of the thing. In this, they can- not be said to have "played with another club," as there was no other club for them to play with. Neither does it class them as professional players, as there was no pay involved in the transaction. It is true that one of those who played with the Clinton team is not a resident of Clinton, yet be is purely an amateur player. But how was it with the Goderich team 7 It is well known that the man Allen, goal for the Hurons, has on former occasions, played for pay, and is therefore eligible to be class- ed as a professional player. How is it with the man Graham, vt+lio it is said to have received as high ae $35 for the season, for play- ing; and how about the man"Fraser." I ani told be is a resident of Tilson. burgh, and played in Ingersoll by the cognomen of "Geddes"; and again in Brantford under the alias of "Cooke"; and now he turns up in Clinton with the Hurons a lineal descendant of the "Clan Fraser," minus the kilts. Surely this Fraser, alias Cooke, alias Geddes transac- tion was worthy of a passing notice in--your-commertts'on• the' make up of the teams. No unpartizan re- porter would make mention of one team as you have of the Dauntless, a purely amateur team, and allude to the Hurons, containing three pro - But with all your disregard for truth aril fairness, it seems there was so ruuclr truii, around that you could not help blundering into it sometimes. It was a sterling truth you told when you said that after two hours play the game stood 4 to 0 in favor of the Clinton team. You kept pretty well out of the truth when you said we slugged the Hurons, as most of the slugging was done by our opponents, but got right back to it again in saying," that the Hurons had a good many sore spots to rub." It was an awfully "sore spot to rub," when they had to reflect that after all the unfair means taken to strengthen their team, they hail been ignominiously beaten. The soreness of that "spot to rub" was immensely intensified by the reflec- tion that the unfairness of their measures had so increased their con- fidence that they brought a host of friends from Goderich to witness and cheer them on to victory, nay, more, to bet heavy on their success. Nor was the soreness of these spots ameliorated any by the reelection that some of their party became so lost to discretion as to boast that "It the llurons could not heat by fair means they would slug them down to it, as they had backing enough from Goderich to see them through." It,is a fearfully sore spot they have to rub when they reflect that they were so indiscreet as to bring their torches and plug hats ; • (011 those plug hats that had to be taken back without an airing 1) and boast that they would take four straights, and buy brooms, and "do the tow,.." Nor was the soreness of those wounds and bruises mollified with ointment by the reflection that instead of being escorted from the station by the Cadet Band, to the tune of "Lo! the conquering heroes come !" they had to tramp, tramp, tramp home to the dull thuds of the muffled drum. But worst of all and most to be deplored, instead of receiving congratulations from their best girls, they had to recognize an ill suppressed feeling, akin to saying, ''surely you Might have done better than to let those Clinton kids mop the floor with you like that." But "the unkindest cut of all'' was being damned by the feigned praises of the Signal. Now Mr. Sporting Editor, we are neither blind nor indifferent to the fact that it is our christian duty to For- give and forget; and we fully purpose to practice that virtue. We fully forgive you for the very nasty, un- truthful manner in which you re- ported us in this case. We freely forgive the boys for trying to get an undue advantage over us, and tor their offensive boasting of what they would do with us; but we can never forgive them for bringing those Pr.ro 'LAT% 1 Never, No, Never ! Hardly ever. In conclusion, let nye say to our friends the Hurons, unless you can make up your minds to treat oppoe• ing teams courteously, bow to the decisions of the referee gracefully, accept defeat, when it falls to your lot, cheerfully, and without boo.hoo• ing over it; you may better, much better, cease playing Lacrosse •matched :and -renew -your primary -@ . - grip on your mammas' apron string. Yours respectfully, A. I. Mamma 5 Members of the R. H. READ Dauntless.
