morning, Goderich was favored with
beautiful weather and a large crowd
for Dominion day celebration. The
races .on the Square were; goad; the 3 to
5 mile bicycle . raceswould have been
especially good but for the lack of or,
der. The racing committee allowed
the people to crowd the track, with
the result that Baldwin, of Seaforth,
was badly thrown when finishing the
last lap, and. Chisholm and Stocks com-
pelled to foul after
crossing tape
at the finish, breaking one bicycle and
risking the necks of both men; it was
brutal treatment of both men; the
square is evidently the place for excit-
ing bicycle races. Goderich baseball
and lacrosse clubs were both defeated
by Corrie and ]Seaforth teams. The
Unions of Goriest and `Wroxeter are a
strung team; they were very much dis-
pleased with many of Dr.Hunter's rul-
ings as,eumpire, but the Doctor seemed
to do his best, and had a hard place to
$Il. After Dudley Holmes began to
pitch the Unions were not able to strike
,;ballor get a run. The Unions won

CHIIRCH.—The union meeting of the
Epworth League and Christian En-
deavor Societies. at the Methodist
church, on Tuesday evening next,
promises to be one of much interest.
The topic chosen for discussion is
"Little Failings," which will be intro-
duced by a member 'of each of the
three societies. Special music will al-
so be provided for the occasion.
DEATH.—Mr Benjamin Adams died
at his residence, on Goderich street,
on Wednesday night of last week.
Mr Adams was a very old man, having
reached the age of 80 years, and until
very recently, although suffering a
good deal of bodily affliction for sever-
al years, has been able to work his own
garden, which was not by any means
a very small one. He was highly re-
spected by all who knew him, and had
for many years been a member of the
Methodist church. . We extend -our
sympathy to the bereaved relatives,
among whom is a daughter, Mrs Wm.
Cline, of this town.
DOMINION DAY.—Dominion Day was
observed as a general holiday by our
citizens. There being no celebration
in town a great many of our town's
people visited other places offering at-
tractions. A large number tooklin the
Foresters' demonstration at Brussels;
not a; few enjoyed the lake breezes at
Bayfield; a train load visited the Cir-
cular train, Goderich; a goodly num-
ber took pleasure, in witnessing the
splendid program of sports at the Hub,
Clinton, while others took advantage
of the cheap railway fares and visited
friends at longer distances.
DIED.—Mr. R. Coleman, brother of
the late Dr. Coleman, was called away
to his long resting place on Sunday
morning last. He had been confined
to his home for several weeks through
illness, but latterly was able to go
about some. The morning of his death
he arose for breakfast, after which not
feeling first rate. lay down. His wife
had stepped out to a neighbor's house
for a few moments, and on returning
found him dead. Mr Coleman had
been a resident of Seaforth for many
years, and was held in high esteem by
his many acquaintances, who extend
condolence to the wife and family in
this their time of bereavement.
NOTES.—Mr Geo. McKinley, who is
spending a short vacation at the par-
ental home in Egmondville, will occu-
py the pulpit of the Methodist church
in town on Sunday evening next. Mr
Otte Groff, teacher at Preston, has re-
turned home for the holidays. Mise
Ida Neil and Mrs F. Horton, of Strat-
ford, visited friends in town afew days
this week. Miss A gqie McIntyre, of
the Toronto General Hospital, former-
ly of this place, is enjoying a couple of
weeks holidays with relatives here.
Mr Peter Anderson, of St. Marys,
spent Dominion Day in town. Mrs
Braund, widow of the late Levis
Braund, left on Tuesday for England,
her native country., where she will re-
side in future, The Huron foot ball
team of this place went to Galt on
Friday of last week to play the final
match in the series of the Western
Association matches with the team of
that place: they played—they won by
2 goals to 1; they are • now the cham-
pions of the district. In the League
game of lacrosse, Clinton vs. Seaforth,
on the recreation grounds on Friday
last, the scores stood at the finish 4
goals to 1 in favor of the home team.

OBITUARY.—It is our painful duty
this week to record the death of Mrs
late Robt.
McMordie, McM , relict of the
McMbrdie. The subject of the acbom-
panying sketch was born in the county
of Down in the north•of Ireland, in
the year 1807, whose maiden name was
Campbell. She belonged to a family
who have long been connected with
the welfare and prosperity of the city
of Belfast; her brother. the late Henry
Campbell, amassed considerable wealth
as a linen manufacturer of that place.
She, with her husband, emigrated to
Ontario in the year 1847, and resided
for one year near Toronto, the follow
ing year they moved into what was
known as the Huron Tract, and settled
on a farm in the township of Tucker -
smith, where she underwent all- the
hardships and trials of pioneer life.
Her husband having died in 1803, she
and her unmarried daughter resided
on the homestead till' 1893, when they
removed to London, Ont. She was
blessed with a good constitution, an
active disposition and was always
hopeful, going to her Heavenly Fath-
er with all her troubles and placing
her trust in Him. She was a consist-
ent member of the Presbyterian
church, giving liberally to all schemes,
and attended divine service as long as
her health permitted. She was great-
ly respected by all who had the pleas-
ure of her acquaintance; she was ever
anxious for' the Welfare of her family.
What bad once been a strong consti-
tution gradually began to fail during
the last ten years of her life, her earth-
ly pilgrimage closed at the age of
eighty-seven years and five months, at
her daughters residence in London,
on the 26th of last month, passing
painlessly away tothat heavenly home
to which she had long 'been looking
hopefully forward to, leaving two sons
and two daughters_to mourn her loss,
