and 11 '`".;:f•-";i{.<'`'.�.:,etaucea

THE JUNIOR LActlossE CLUB —Clio•
Ion has lung been the home of two
lacrosse clubs, and 1893 will not be an
exception to what has beeu the rule.
It is a nat.ter of regret that either the
senior or junior teams have not suit-
able grounds ou which to practise or
ewer Tutu a contest. Ouce the im-
provements to the park grounds are.
completed, the boys will havo a
splendid opportunity to become pro
ficient in lacrosse. As it is, they ltbur
under a great disadvantage in com-
peting with outside teams. However,
the clubs, both senior and junior, are
making the best of the situation and
practice _ es best they can on the mill
yard grounds. A junior lacrosse club
'has, in addition to the senior, been
formed with Percy Fair, captain; W.
Jackson, president ; Dr. Shaw, vice
president ; \V. Cantelon, jr., sec.-treas.;
and a committee of 11. Doherty, W.
Mcrae and Ed. Cook. Scasou tickets
have been placed at a eery low figure
and the boys should, 08 no doubt they
will, receive encouragement from our
citizens. Buy a menibeiship ticket
and thus encourage and stimulate a
pastime and ' exercise worthy future
men an ; probably rulers and leaders of
this great country.
CLINTON'S TRADE. --Leaving out the
inter provincial trade and referring
only to direct imports and exports from
and to Great Britain and foreign
countries wo find that the town of
Clinton is having a fair share of the
general trade of the country. In the
matter of direct imports, thro ugh the
Customs wo find that the port of Clin-
ton ranks second in the county. 1110
Blue Book shows that for the fiscal
yoar'from 1st July, 1891, to let July,
1892, the latest published official re-
port, the customs dues received at
Goderich were $6,400 ; at Clinton
.4,475 ; at Wirgham ;4,877. But on
inquiry we find that about $820 more
were received during the fiscal year
named thau appears iu the published
report. This was received during
that year but owing to the illness and
sutideu death of the former collec-
tor in Cliuton it was not entered up in
time to appear in the year to w hich it
properly belongs but will appear
in the returns for the present
fiscal year. '''his would make the
customs receipts for the year named
to amouut to :—Goderich, $6,400 ;
Clintou, $5,295; Wingham, $4 877.
The free direct imports at Clinton
were as nearly as may be one and a
half times the value of the dutiable
imports. The average rate of duty on
all imports at Clinton, was about 14
per cent. as against an average through-
out the Dominion of 1S per trent: We
have not been able to obtain the
total amount of exports for the year
named, but for the lost half of the year
they amounted to $85,000. Assuming
that the other half of the year was the
same the yearly exports from Clinton
to other countries would be about
$170,000. Of these exports about 65
per cent. went to Great Britain; 25 per
cent to United Status and 10 per cent.
to France,Gerutany and other countries.
The chief exporters and the kind of
goods were :—W; Doherty & Co.,
organs; James Fair, flour; Towne and
Hamlin, apples; Peterson, apples; D.
Cantelon, apples; Cook and Cook,
apples; G. Fowler, apples, and several
others; 1). A. Forrester, flax products;
R. Irwin, wheat, oats and peas; E.
Watson and others, lambs; W. Cud•
more, hay, Considerable numbers of
cattle were shipped from here which
do not appear in the entries for this
.port, being likelyenIterocl at Montreal.
The chief direct importers were W.
Doherty and Co., R. Ransford,Clinton
Organ Co., Jackson Bros., Estate
John Hodgene, Harland Bros., .John
McGarva, Robins Bros., Joseph Copp,
Jaines Fair, W. Cooper & Co.,Clinton
Electric Lig1ht Co., Macphereop, H.vey
Co., of Clinton; f.
Douglas and H. A. Scarlet, of 1 1:1i,
and various parties in Hensel!, Varna
and other points. The probable value
of goods directly imported from and
exported to other countries for the last
year, and which paesed through the
customs house here, would amount to
about $210,000. Take it all in all
the trade of Clinton and tributary
country makes a healthy exhibit and
shows gradual and gratifying progress
during the part year, with every proe-
pectof continuing in harmony with the
increased trade of the Dominion gener-
ally. The total exports from the
Dominion for last month were $6,545,-
336 as against $3,988,337 for the
former one. The total imports for tha
nine months of the present fiscal year
were $87,922,940 as against $81,900,-
946 for a similar period last year.
