Jackson Bros., • the well-known clothiers, have secured a contract for the manufacture a G. T. R. unifocnls, so that their already large staff as busy as bees will have to be further added to. It says much for the enterprise and ability of this firm that they are able to successfully compete with the largest manufacturing clothiers in the country. Steam Gotten Up At the Organ Factory. Steam was gotten up for the first time in the new factory on Saturday and turned into the kilns. This week part of the machinery will be in opera- tion and by July lst the manufacture of the famous Doherty organ will again be in full swing. The machinery is being placed under the direction of Mr. H. B. Chant, who is a mechanical genius. He was mechanical superin- tendent in the destroyed factory and will fill the same position in the new one. The Carberry Team's A Touring. Carberry, an ambitious little Mani- toban town, has sent a football team east on a tour. Beginning with St. Paul on Monday and Chicago on Wed- nesday, they jump to London for a Saturday match and will play in Clinton next Monday. It ought to be a lively and splendidly contested game as the boys from the breezy prairies are , said 'to be great ball punchers. From a write-up of the team, which appears in the Carberry Express, we notice that two of the players were formerly of this county, while others hail from St. Mary's, Bruce and Wellington. The Hub's eleven must put its very best feet for- ward next Monday. Married In Chicago. Mr. J. J. Allen, of Allen & Wilson, was on Tuesday united in the bonds of matrimony to Miss Maggie Jackson, youngest daughter of Mr. Thos. Jackson, Sr. The wedding took place in Chicago at the residence of Mrs. W. L. Lang, sitter of the bride. It was a quiet one, only immediate friends being present. Among the guests were Mr. and Mrs. William Jackson. The happy young couple returned to Clinton last evening and were given a reception at the residence of Mr. Jackson Where congratulations and good wishes were showered upon them. Mr. and Mrs. Allen will spend a few days here before leaving for To- ronto where they will take up their residence. TRE news -RECORD joins the numerous friends of the contract- ing parties in wishing them a happy and properous life. Entrance and Leaving Examinations. The Entrance and Public School Leaving Examinations will be held on June 28th, 29th and 30th and as the time is close at hand we made appli- cation to `Inspector Robb, who very kindly furnished us with the following infdrmation :-- Between 500 and 600 candidates will write in East Huron. The presiding examiners are as follows :—At Clinton —Inspector Robb and Principal Hou- ston ; Seaforth—Principals .Clarkson and Shillinglaw; Brussels—Principals ..Plummer and Spotton ; Wingham— Principals Watters, White and Hart - .ley ; Blyth—Principal Forsyth ; Wrox- eter—Principals Shearer and Dobson ; Fordwich—Principal McEwen ; The names of the successful candidates will •be ready, we expect, for the issue of THE NEWS -RECORD of July 27th. 101 applications were received from candi- dates who intend to write at Clinton and 100 from those who write at Sea - forth. Of course, some are from rural schools. High School Examinations. --Second Foram Examinations will be held at Wingham and Brussels. There are 29 candidates writing at Wrngham on this examination. The presiding examiners will he Principals Cameron and Lowery. 14 candidates write at Brussels, where Principal Musgrove will preside. First, Second, Third and Fourth Form Examinations will be held at Clinton and Seaforth. The presiding examiners at Clinton will be Inspector Robb, Principals Lough and Murch, Principals Scott and Fowler will pre- side at Seaforth. These examinations will begin on July 4th and continue till July 19th.

Wing - ham, $127; the Department gets $75 and the Board $52. .t*tisseh, $40; the De- partment absorbs $22 and the School Board $18. 'The Department reoeives all gild $404, and the Local Board $978. Rev. lltr, Millyard Returns. Rev. Mr. Millyard returns to the pas- torate of Rattenbury St. Methodist Church for a third year much to the gratification of the congregation. He is a successful pastor not alone for his pulpit lability, but also for hie genial and kindly manner which has popular- ized him with all classes in the com- munity. The 01d Rink Torn &Iowa. Lawyer Scott has bought the old skating rink and is dating it torn down, the material to be used in the building of a barn on his Goderich farm. D. Connell has the contract, a guarantee that it will be done quickly and well. The rink served its day and generation, but for some time has rather been an eye sore than a beauty spot. It Is A Young Man's Age. In the new policy of the Grand Trunk Railway the old men have scarcely any place and by degrees they are being shoved out and replaced by those younger and more active. Th ie is seen even in the re -arrangement of the road sections, which have been length- ened from five to six miles but an ad- ditional man added. This reduces a number of the bosses to the ranks or the bounce. S.S. and C.B. Convention. We are in recept of a programme of the meeting of the Huron County Sab- hath School Association and Christian Endeavor Union to be held in Wing - ham on Tuesday and Wednesday next and from a perusal we take it for granted that a two days' intellectual and spiritual treat is in store for those who attend. The executive has put forth every effort and it is expected that the gathering will excel' all its predecessors, W. Doherty Fond of Good Horses. Mr. W. Doherty is a great admirer of good horses and in addition to famous "Guideless Tommy," and his family driver, generally has one or more trotters or pacers possessed of a good burst of speed. A fortnight ago he bought Marco a spirited chestnut mare, in London and last week sold her to a party in Monk -ton, N.B,, but on Friday bought Tommy H. a bay gelding, with a still better record:. ., Inspector Robb Intends Leaving. School Inspector Robb will in •the course of a few weeks be leaving Clinton for Brussels where he will take up his residence. He does so because of the geography of the Inspectorate, Brussels being almost in the centre, while the Hub in one corner. From his pre- sent abode to his uttermost school e drive of no less than fifty miles inter- venes which will be cut in two by his change of base. The people of Clinton will regret to loose so worthy acitizen. Clinton Wins From Kippen. The Rippon football team came up Friday p.m. to try conclusions with Clinton, but were defeated in two straights. This, however, does not imply that they cannot play ball but rather indicates want of practice. The Kippensown a cup won in a tourna- ment and having on its list such play- ers as McMordie and Brownlee will likely be able to make a good showing before the season wanes. The players were KIPPEN — Goal, Geo. Greenslade ; Backs, Robt. Daymond, Jas. McMor- die ; Half Backs, Geo. Dale, S. McMor- die, Jas. Horton ; Left Wing, Thomas Doig, Chas. Crich ; Centre, T. H. Brownlee, Captain ; Right Wings, Dan Bell, Gilbert Sinclais. CLINTON—Goal, J. Kelly ; Backs, H. Switzer, A. Smith ; Half Backs, F. Boles. J. Jewitt, D. Hearne; Left Wing, A. Martin, A. Murdoch ; Centre, Bert Scott; Right Wing, L. Whitley, P. Campbell. Shively Hall A Waste of $10,000, Mr. Searle writes THE NEWS -RECORD in regard to the proposed Memorial Hall. He apparently is not much in favor of the structure, at all events not upon the site where it is proposed to rear it. He says :—Mr, Editor,— The letter which appeared in your issue of two weeks ago in regard to the foundation of the Stavely building was a manly,, straightforward statement of the facts. Any sensible man about to build a neat pressed brick building would not build a stone wall in the fall to give the frost a chance to des- troy its bond. It's• too great a risk to run. There is a necessity to bo care- ful. Look at our town hall and see the cracks in the walls. Take a look at the fronts of our business blocks and see the cracks there also, all caused by a bad foundation, either in the walls or the quicksand was not mastered. The site •of 'thin Stavely building is a bone of contention, The public should be given a say in the matter. It is a shame that a one man vote decides. We may shirt our mouths to the doing's of our Portia. meet mei and look at how pttbllo bust. ness is clout at horne., , The Spectacle Fakir. A slick jewelry peddler is "still "doing" some towns. He is a fakir of the first water and works his game by means of spectacles, of which he has a large assortment. Ile has sever- al good pairs and oilers, those at low prices. While talking to the purchaser he substitutes a cheap pair for the good ones, and takes the money with- out a blush. Guideless Tommy to Go to Throe Rivers. The pacer Guideless Tommy, which by its intelligence and speed advertises the Doherty Organ Company, gives an exhibition in Three Rivers, Quebec, on the 23rd inst. and is also billed for a number of points in the Maritime pro- vinces. He may be taken to Manitoba this summer if a sufficient number of dates can be arranged. Tommy is said to be going faster than ever this sea- son. Army Band Concerts. The open air concerts given by the Salvation Army band on the Gore each Thursday evening are appreciated by the large number which assembles to hear them. The concerts are a com- bination of brass and vocal music and are becoming better right along. Cap- tain Reefer has undertaken to give instruction Saturday afternoons to any wishing to learn to play band instru- ments, the guitar, etc. Many Will hear Godfrey. Many Clintonians intend attending the Godfrey concert. in Goderich next Monday if the sale of tickets last Mon- day, when the plan was opened at Jackson Bros., is any indication, flfty- five being disposed of. These are dol- lar tickets. The G. T. R. will give a single fare rate that evening, good to return next morning, provided there are fifty passengers from here, other- wise it will be one and a third fare. A Maitland Block Wedding. Mr. H. Wagner, one of the most prosperous young farmers in Goderich township, • was yesterday united in marriage to Miss Bertha J. Sprung, daughter of Mr. M. Sprung of the Maitland Block. The ceremony at 5 p. m. was performed by Rev. Mr. Olivant in the presence of many friends of the contracting parties, after which a reception was held at the groom's home where about one -hundred guests assembled and spent a merry evening, THE NEWS -RECORD joins in seasonable greetings. Clinton Turned the Tables. The return match between the bowl- ing clubs of Seaforth and Clinton took place on the grounds of the latter Thursday afternoon when the home rinks turned the table and won the match after an exciting game. Honors are now even. The players and scores were as follows :-- Clinton. F, Boles, J. W. Irwin, D. A. Forrester, J. P. Tisdale, sk .1. Johnson, W. W. Ferran, H. C. Brewer, W. Jackson, sk Seaforth. J. McMichael, Jas. Scott, F. Holmstead, 25 E.C. Coleman, sk.18 W. C. Reid, W. D. Bright, R. S. Hays, 16 W. K. Pearce, sk..22 41 Total 40 Total Won the Bankers' Scholarship. Mr. E.H. Cooper, who in the Varsity exams was 1st In second-class honors in Political Science of the second year, won the Bank`s 's Scholarship worth seventy dollars a year. He bids fair to even excel the successful course of his brother J. A. whose journalistic steps he also seems likely to follow, The last long vacation he spent upon the staff of MeLean's trade journals and during the enforced absence of the Editor had to write the leaders himself. It was quite an undertaking for a young man who has not yet reached his majority, but he filled the chair so acceptably that the Macs want him back again. Public School Board Meeting. The regular monthly meeting of the Public School Board was held Monday evening; but beyond the payment of a couple of accounts, $1,20 to W. Coop- er & Co. for supplies and $5.00 to Architect Fowler for plans and specifi- cations, and the purchase of thirty tons of coal from Mr. McGarva, but little business was transacted. Tile Principal's report was adopted. It read as follows :—Our attendance for the month of May was as follows: -- Boy's enrolled 234, girls, 202, average attendance 852, The attendance has been very low. I have been conduct- ing examinations for softie time, but pupils in both classes in Miss O'Neil's room absent themselves. The result will be that few will ba promoted from the room and a large class promoted to the room. This will give a crowded room, but those who are regular in at- tondance will get the writs, 'There will of necessity be a Small elms in Principal's room for the next year or two as pupils who do not attend dans not be prepared for promotion and no rdere.puplls will be t novel moo tlpon molt, A Week's Shipments. Mr. Jas. Fair shipped four carloads of flour to Glasgow last week.—Sid Smith sent a carload of cattle to the cities yesterday.—A Jew sent two car's laden with scrap to Hamilton.— Cantelon & Wallis consigned a car- load of porkers to Toronto Monday. King Stanton Won Third. Mr. J. L. Doherty won third in the 2.27 pace at Stratford last week with King Stanton. On Tuesday and Wed- nesday of this week he drove at Wood- stock and next week attends another meeting. He has added to his string in training at Hensall the gelding re- cently purchased by Mr. W. Doherty and which has a record of 2.2& , or less we understand. Little Locals. THE NEWS -RECORD is read by the people,—There was service in St. Joseph's church last Sunday;—The Collegiate football team will play a return game with the Kippen eleven Friday evening.—Rev. Mr. Murdock, of Teeswater,will preach in the Baptist church next Sunday, morning and evening.—Davis & McOoole have bought Dr. Turnbull's black driver. Cantelon', Early Cherries. Mr. D. Cantelon dropped in Satur- day with some early and tasty cherries. They were the first of the season so fat as we have been able to learn, conse- sequently were all the more appreciat- ed.. Mr. Cahtelon has a large but young orchard of cherries, plums and apple trees and has invited us up to sample the fruit, suggesting though that we postpone our visit until the plums are ripening. We've accepted, of course. Many Went to the Model Farm. The excursion of Friday last to the Model Farm was taken advantage of by a large number, probably half of whom went elsewhere than the Farm. Four -hundred tickets were sold at Goderich and on their arrival here the excursionists overflowed the cars and were as thick as bees on platforms and steps. The L. H. & B. brought down 390, while 186 tickets were sold by Agent Pattison, and his assistant. When the train pulled out of Seaforth over 1000 passengers were aboard. Marriage Snperstltloas. June was the month which the 'Ro- mans considered the most propitious season of .the year for contracting matrimonial engagements, especially if the day chosen was that of the full moon or the conjunction of the sun and moon ; the month of May was especially to be avoided, as under the influence of spirits adverse to happy households. The superstition still holds good in many quarters, although there is much about the, season of the year to lend charm and beauty to the marriage ceremony, which recommend it above other months. An Ashfield Marriage. The Catholic church at Kingsbridge was the scene of a wedding on Tuesday week when Rev. Father Dixon united in the holy bonds of matrimony Mary J. Hogan, daughter of Mr. John Hogan, and Stephen Martin: The best man was Mr. John Hogan, the bride's brother, while the bridesmaid was Mies Kate Martin, sister of the groom. After the ceremony the wed- ding party drove to the residence of the bride's parents and then in the evening to Kintail where a reception and ball was given. Tun NEws-Rn- CORD joins in the good wishes. They Live High at Bayfield. A number from the Hub drove over to Bayfield Thursday afternoon and after partaking.of supper at the River Hotel, where frogs' legs is an item of the bill of fare, spent the evening rowing upon the river or sailing upon the lake. The three military men, Captains Cornbe and McTaggart and Lieutenant Bruce challenged Messrs. Doherty, Brock and Lewis to a sculling match, which the civilians won easily, hands down, as it were. The sail, too, was quite enjoyable, until the wind went down. Afterwards luncheon Was served and the party returned home at quite a rea- sonable hour. Honors At Varsity. The following graduates of Clinton Coliegiate Institute took honors at the recent Toronto University examin- ations :—Lester Whitely, 1st in second- class honors, modern language, 2nd year ; Hattie Rumball, third-class honors in modern languages, 4th year ; 3.

Early Communion in St. Paul's next Sunday morning. Yesterday Mr. T. Mason secured a choice pair of heavy draughts for a party in the East. Mrs, S. Lawrence's child has been dangerously ilk with congestion of the lungs, but is recovering. Miss L. Swallow, who has been dangerously ill, is now out of danger and getting along nicely. Granolithic walks are being laid leading to Willis church. Mr. Jas. Howe has the work in hand. The Garden Party of St, Paul's church will be held on the Rectory grounds in the near future. Improvements are being made under and about the manse under the super- intendence of Mr. Thos. Mackenzie. Mr. A, Macdonald, for a number of years section foreman of the L.H. has been unwell for several weeks and is not yet himself. At the C. E. of Willis church last night Rev. Mr. Stewart gave an ad- dress on "What the School has done in our French Work." The monthly meeting of the Women's Foreign Missionary Society will be, held in the lecture room of Willis church this afternoon. The Rattenbury Epworth League Monday evening was addressed by Mr. T. McNeil on "A Volume in a Word." The meeting was led by Miss L. Wash- ington. On Monday Deputy Churchill, Gode- rich township, delivered to Cantelon & Wallis thirty-five hogs weighing 6,600 pounds for which he received over $480. Mr. Joe Currie, of the 8th conces- sion, Godetich township, had a heifer killed during the thunder storm of Friday night last and Mr. S. Switzer lost a ewe in the same manner. Ninety-eight pieces of baggage were handled at the Rattenbury on Wed- nesday and Thursday last. This is probably the best yet, even for this popular hostelry. They were two record days. Don't forget the meeting of the Good Templars Friday evening. All members are requested to be present and as promptly as possible. The pro- gramme intended for last meeting will ek,. Ttiei ere u a will give a promen- ade concert in the rink on the even- ing of,the 29th inst. It will be on a grand scale as a Toronto orchestra has been secured, also the services of Mr. and Mrs. W. E. Ramsey, the well- known entertainers, • Mrs. Arthur Cantelon, of the Bay- field Road, just- outside the corpora- tion, has purchased from Mr. Whitely his pony and cart outfit, for her own use and that of her daughters. The outfit is a nice one and would seem to be admirably adapted to their require- ments. West Tuekersniith. Rev. Mr. Findlay addressed the Sunday school scholars of Turner's church on Sunday afternoon last. He. took for the basis of his remarks the words. "And I, if I be lifted up, shall draw all men unto Me," He very nicely illustrated his sermon by show- ing what the magnet is to smaller and larger particles of steel so Christ is to his people from childhood to old age. The altar was prettily decorated with flowers prepared by a committee the day previous. Taking ib altogether Flower Sunday this year was a success, decidedly. Among the number from this local- ity who took in the excursion on Fri- day last were : Mr. and Mrs. J. G. Crich, Mr. and Mrs. W, C. Lands- boro, A. and W. Elcoat, F. Nott, A. Turner, and Thos. O'Brien. The latter laid over at Sehringville on his way home and visited his brother, returning home on . Invitations Por'Saturday. the wedding of two of our popular young people for the 22nd are out. Recent big rains have aaslrred for the farmers a large hay crop. Sunday afternoon next will likely be Rev. Mr. Findlay's final service on this appointment. Mr. Findlay has made many friends and has had a suc- cessful year. We are loath to have him leave, but must subrak to the order of things. Mr. Robb, P. S, I., paid No. 8 a visit last week and reported everything as satisfactory. The young people of the east end picnicked at Breezy Bayfield on Satur- day last. Forest UUonte. Mr. Jackson from near 1lrussels paid a flying visit to Mr. and Mrs. William Ross. Mrs. Geo. Drown spent Saturday and Sunday hi Clinton with friends, Mr. Shillinglaw, our teacher, was in Goderich last' week in.the interest of our section, Mr. John A, Carter was home on Saturday.
