CHURCH NEWS.—Mr Ferrier, a stu-
dent, occupied the pulpit of Trinity
Church, on Sabbath. His services
were much' appreciated, and we are
oPleased to announce fficiate on Sabbath next.hee will again
The large congregations which pack-
ed St. AndrewCurch, on Sabbath,
had a treat which the attractivenes9*of
Bayfield as a summer resort brings
within the reach of our people, during
the summer months. In the morning
Rev Dr McDonald, of Seaforth, deliv-
ered one of the ablest discourses that
has been heard from that pulpit for
some time. Taking for his text the
passage, "Behold what manner of love,"
etc., he expounded it in that lucid and
scholarly manner so characteristic of
the doctor's pulpit expositions. In the
evening Rev Colin Fletcher, of Thames
road,who preached last Sabbath, again
took the service.
Rev Wm. Graham, of St Andrews
church, preached in the Front road
church, on Sabbath.
The children and friends of the
Methodist Sabbath School had an en-
joyable afternoon picnicing at the
grove, on Tuesday.
THE WHITE CITY INCREASING.—
The rapid increase which is taking
place in the population of the White
City is one of the best proofs of the
popularity of Bayfield, both as a
healthful summer resort, and as a suit-
able location for campers. It seems to
ria be the universal opinion that a more
delightful spot could hardly be found
than the bank of the lake north of
Bayfield. The land is elevated enough
to be continually fanned by the breezes
off the lake, while low enough to make
the beach easily accessible. The line
of thick cedars which fringe the crown
and extend down the slope of the hill
makes an excellent protection for the
tents in stormy weather. The deep
ravines,withprojecting crags on either
side, linked together by natural bridges
of fallen forest giants, give the scenery
a romantic grandeur and wild pictur-
esqueness, which cannot be found else-
where. On the very brink of one of
these ravines is the Stratford Camp—
the latest addition to the White City.
Among those in this camp are Messrs
Chas. Dingman, of the Herald; George
Dobson, W. Cole, Dr. Eidt, Gordon
McLaren.. and Geo..:Moir, Str a.tford; .J.
G. -Stoneman and Wm. Stoneman,
Mitchell; Allen Seegmiller, Michigan;
W. G. Young. London; Mrs Dobson,
Misses Millie and Freddie Dingman,
Jennie Reid and Hattie Sherman,
Stratford; Miss E. Babb, Mitchell. A
large number more are expected at the
end of the week. In the Seaforth
ward of the White City there are also
some new arrivals. At the extreme
south of the camps will be found a cot-
tage which has been labelled "The
Widders Din." In it are Mrs Killar,
Vera and 011ie Killer, Mrs Laidlaw
and Gertie Laidlaw, Miss F. and Mas-
ter C. Whitely, Seaforth.
BASE BALL.—An interesting game
of base ball was played here on Friday
last, between a club from Clinton and
a scrub crowd of novice players picked
up in the village. The game started
with a large number of spectators,
most of whom were Clintonians and
visitors, who displayed their feelings
for one side or the other as occasion
demanded. Mr Powell, of Clinton,
acted as umpire the first half of the
game, and Mr Tamen, of Blyth, the
latter half. Bayfield went to bat first,
but were unable" to make anything of
Ross' curves. It took the boys three
innings of goose eggs to get up courage
for the professionals from Jlintotr, but
from the time that Fred Elliott crossed
the home plate with the first Bayfield
run, there was a hard tussel for vic-
tory. Some of the boys had never
played baseball before, but they knew
how to catch, while this seemed to be
Olinton's weakest point. J. W. Whid-
don did some splendid catching in cen-
tre field, while W. Caldwell, at first
base, made only one serious miss.
Haxby and Mason made some nice hits
for Clinton, each scoring a home run.
Jack Jowett did excellent work for
Bayfield behind the bat. Of course
the game was comparatively new to
the home youths, and they felt back-
ward at meeting an experienced°club,
but they did very well under the cir-
cumstances. They were weak in the
box and at the bat, and were not ven-
turesome enough in stealing bases.
The game throughout was carried on
good-naturedly, and with no ungentle-
manly conduct, and proved a source
of much pl ensure to the, many specta-
tors. We hope Clinton will be able to
come over again soon. Clinton won.
THE GOLDEN ROD PARTY.—Thele is
something specially delightful about a
real children's party. There the inno-
cent bubblings of youthful mirth are
allowed to display themselves, free
from the criticism of rigid society
rules. The older folk must take a seat
olong the wall, looking only to admire,
listening only to commend. The little
people must be given fi ee scope to do
pretty much as they please, within
very extended limits, and with these
conditions fulfilled, the ringing shout
and laughter will be ample assurance
that every one is havinga good time.
Such was the children's party at the
River Hotel, on Saturday evening.
The parlor had been elaborately and
tastefully decorated for the occasion,
with golden rod and wild clematis vine.
The for mer is the emblem of the State
of Michigan, and was made the chief
decoration, in honor of the mimerous
Detroiters who are at the hotel. The
evening was spent in games and danc-
ing. It was a very pretty sight to see
the score of little ones who occupied
the floor at once, going through the in-
tricate evolutions with a gracefulness
of bearing that made the picture com-
plete. We could not—we dare not—
say whose child was the belle of the
evening, but the Highland dance, by
Mthe skirts re da'nce, byrMissJennie Seof land
leck,
of Detroit, deserve special mention.
In the party there were children from
Detroit, London, Lucknow, Clinton
and Seaforth, all of whom seemed to
enjoy themselves as only children can.
They expect to gather daisies this ,
week, and have a daisy party.
THE OPINION OF A GUEST.
For the Advertiser, by Rev. Dr. McDonald,
Seatorth, Ont.
Those who seek in a summer resort
an opportunity of showing off and see-
ing the different styles of millinery
that's popular in different parts of the
country, and who seek a gay high soci-
ety life, need not come to Bayfield; but
for those who are mentally tired, and
seek complete rest; for those who al e
physically exhausted, and need to re-
cuperate; for those who have been ill,
and need to be nourished back into
health and strength again, such will
'find Bayfield 'just -the -place for -therm.. -
The pure air from Lake Huron, so
well known for its beneficial effects
upon the human system, may be en-
joyed here. During the day the sun
may be strong and the heat great, but
the cool breezes off the lake make the
nights pleasant, and sound sleep is
secured. To rest the weary mind, to
recuperate the wasted body, nothing is
so essential as sound sleep, and this is
a sure enjoyment for those who come
to Bayfield. The soil is light and
sandy. so that when a desirable
shower of rain falls, the visitor does
not need to travel through a continent
of mud. The water is good, and Lake
Huron provides abundant facilities for
bathing. The hotels provide their Miss M. J. Martin, Main St, west
guests with boats so that there is plenty SPECIAL AGENT
of needed exercise. The citizens of
Bayfield are obliging and kind and ex -
