A Big Catch of Fish Reeve Kennedy and Mr. James Howe spent a dray fishing at Bayfield recently and had a fine r un of luck, catching a dozen big black bass. They had about the choicest catch that has been reported here this season, not even excepting Mr. Ed. Clantelon's fine string. Ice Cream Festival. An ice create festival will be held under the auspices of the S. A. at the hayracks this evening. In addition to the cooling cream there will be other refreshments and afterwards a pro- gramme of brass, string and vocal selections. Major and Mrs,Southcoulbe, the Array's leaders in Western On- tario, are among those who will take part. A Narrow Escape. While Mr. R. J. Chaff of town and Mrs. J. F. Parke were driving past Mr. Weir's on the Bayfield road Monday evening, the horse suddenly shied and up -set them both. Mrs. Parke escaped with a few bruises and was able to follow the horse and hold hint until assistance arrived. t\Ir. Cluff was not so fortunate. In trying to hold on he was dragged some distance before - letting the lines go and received a pain fel sprain in one ankle and shoulder. Rushing The Work. Mr, a 5. Cooper is finishing up his country contracts and will for a few weeks devote most of his energy to the Stavely Ball,where lie now has several bricklayers at work and expects in every shorttitneta have it ready for the roof- ers. Among "the jobs" Mr. Cooper yet has on hand are a conservatory for Mr. Jaynes McClacherty, a verandah for. Mrs. .Tunor, the completion of Frank Kettle's house in ilulleLt and Mrs Mills', town, together with a residence for Mr. Jas. Flynn, and another which will for the present be designated as for " an unknown," G. T. R. Officials On A Tour. The G. T.R. officials, who are on their annual tour of inspection, spent twenty minutes looking over the Company's property in Clinton Monday evening, on their way back from Goderich, where they made an almost equally brief stay. They were: Sir Charles Rivers - Wilson, President; General -Manager Hays, General -Superintendent F. H McGuigan and Superintendent. C. H. Fitzhugh. The party travels in a special train consisting of five cars in- cluding the President's private car " Violet," named after Lady Wil- son, and " Canada," the General - Manager's own car, Long Service Decorations. We have been informed that the Imperial Government has decided to r allow a long service decoration, but what form it will take deponent sayeth nit. Ten years service is, we under- stand, the length of service required. Among the officers of the 33rd who will be entitled to such a decoration are Surgeon -Major Holmes .and Major Reck, each of whom entered in '00, Captain Holmes, Major Varcoe, Major Wilson, Captain Combo, Captain Wil -- son and Captain Hays. Captains Shaw and Rance will next June round the decade. Captain Combo has only been seventeen years in the service. Tennis At Goderich. The tennis tournament, Goderich vs. Clinton, played at the county town on our civic holiday, resulted in five events to four in favor of Goderich. The tenth event, a single, between Captain McTaggart and Mr. Pangman, Gode- rich, was not finished owing to dark- ness settling in when each had won one set. Eight players went, from Clinton, including two ladies, and all speak very hte,,hly of the hospitality of the tennis club at the Circular town, The contests ran thusly :-- Ladies' Doubles -Miss McMurray and Miss Dot Fair, Clinton, vs. Miss Cameron n.ncl Miss t)sbrook, Gode- rich. The latter won, score, 8-0-8.4. Mixed T)onhles-Miss McMurray and Captain McTaggart, Clinton, vs. Miss Oshrook and F. Holmes, Goderich, score, 8.0--0.1 in favor of the forayer. .T.P.

Holmesvllle Cheese Sell At 75.8c. Reeve C onnc,lly was in town on Sat- urday superintending the shipment of the first half of July cheese from the Hol►nesville factory which had been sold to Ballantyne & Son, realizing 71c per pound. There were about two - hundred and f!fcy boxes. Shipping Apples. Elliott, & Mitchell have gone into the apple business again and with their accustomed energy. They have sever- al buyers out and on Monday shipped 221 barrels of the Dutchess variety to the. American market. Next Monday they expect to ship two car -loads, one from Clinton and the other from the County town. What with stock, poul- try and fruit, this go-ahead firm puts many a dollar into circulation between one New Year's Day and another. C. 1'. R. Connections. Goderich and Stratford are )raking strong efforts to get connection with the C. P. Railway. As the C. P. are reaching out in all directions to tap the trade and commerce of the country, the present time seems opportune for a le - vivid of the question. At points on a line say from Drunlbo to Stratford, thence through Mitchell, Seaforth,Clin- ton to Goderich the very hest and richest centres of the country are reach- ed. All the towns at these points should combine, and interview the management without delay. -Mitchell Advocate. 1. 0. 0. T. Officers. The following 1. O. 0.

French Castle Well Governed. Friday of last week Mr. and Ales. R. Henderson, Mrs. It. Reynolds, 11liss Claire Reynolds and the Misses Griffin went to Clinton and visited the House of Refuge. They express themselves as being veryvell pleased with the manner in which the wants of the inmates are attended to, and unani- mously vote that Governor French and Mrs. French are thoroughly up in their work as superintendents. One of the visitors told the Signal that it was not necessary to go to Guelph to see a model farm, as the land in connection with the House of Refuge was culti- vated to the highest notch and was giving good returns.--Goderich Signal. A Case That Didn't Go To Court. A citizen of Little England suspect- ing that the feed for his porkers slid not all disappear down the throats of his own swine, laid wait one night last week and at an uncanny hour was re warded by the appearance of one of his neighbors, who struck a light, which served the purpose of identification, though not so intended. When inter- rogated as to the away and the where- fore of his presence, the neighbor re- plied that he carne merely to borrow some chicken -feed. This does not ap- pear to have been satisfactory, for an information was laid before a magis- trate next day and the young man summoned. The case did not, how- ever, go to court, a settlement being effected • upon the payment of twenty-five dollars in addition to costs, twenty-six dollars and a quarter in all, rather expensive feed. Rev. Mr. Murdock Warmly Recommended. Rev. Mr. Murdock, the new pastor of the Baptist church, preached his first sermons in that capacity on Sunday and is now in full charge. \Ve fancy from what, we have seen of him that the church under his energetic pasto r- ate will enter capon an era of renewed prosperity. By way of introduction to those of our citizens, who have not yet had the pleasure of meeting' Mr. Mur - duck, we reproduce the following from the Teeswater News. When a self- respecting newspaper talks thusly of a refiring citizen, it means that he is lust, Omit, all right :---Rev. T. J. Murdock has removed to Clinton where he will at, once enter on the duties of pastor of the Baptist church of that place. Mneh regret is expressed at, Mr. Mnrdnck's leaving town and these expressions are by no means confined to the members of his own church. ills frank manner and genial disposition made him many friends in the other congregations of the village. Ile WAR valued not only as a pastor hut as a citizen. The Deal Fell Through. Mr. John Bloor will not, it would appear, become a citizen of \Vingham, the deal he had on hand for the pur- chase of a bakery in that town having fallen through at the point of consum- mation. In consequence he will not just now go into business alai has accepted a situation elsewhere. Both From Seatorth. Seaforth has done very well this past week in furnishing inmates for Castle French, having sent up two, two of a kind, we have heard said. One is John Hawkshaw, aged three -score, and the other Solomon Quick, just one year older. One of the boarders levanted the other day, but the Governor had hint back in no time. Death has grant- ed no surceases at the Castle for over a week 1104. Watson Buys Extensively. Evidence that Mr. Ed. Watson of Blyth is an extensive shipper was fur- nished on Monday, when he sent toMon- treral a five -car -load assignment of ex- port cattle and went along to see that they arrived in ship-shape. Those who saw the cattle en route say they were very fine specimens and ought to compare favorably with anything which may be sent across to demon- strate to John Bull that his boasted superiority in the matter of beef is a myth, pure and simple. Lacrosse Match. The junior lacrosse tears rather more than evened up with Exeter at the lacrosse match in Exhibition Park on the evening of civic holiday. The score stood 4 to 1 in favor of Clinton, but as the visiting umpire could not see the ball pass between the flags in two of the goals claimed by the Hub's repre- sentatives, it nray be considered as 2 to 1. The local team was the same as played in Exeter the previous week, except that Jack Forrester and Gregg Irwin took the places of two of the players. Sevi ' Detrimental Classes. An exchange states that there are seven classes of people who arc a detri- ment to a town: First, those who go out of town to do their trading. Sec- ond, those who oppose improvements. Third, those who prefer a quiet town to one of push rind business. Fourth, those who think they can do business slyly and without advertising, Fifth, those 'who deride public spirited men. Sixth, those who oppose any public enterprise that does not appear to benefit there. Seventh, those who seek to injure the credit of any individual. Probably Fatal Accident, Last Saturday forenoon Joseph G. Snell of Snelgiove, near Brantford, known the Dominion over as a breeder acci- dent andsheep,with of swine an met that is feared will prove fatal. Mr. Snell had been up in his barn to the highest point adjusting pulleys, and was on a beam, about to descend, when he lost his footing, and fell a dis- tance of 28 feet to the barn floor. He fell on the right side, and his skull is thought to be fractured. Ile has been in an unconscious condition since. Mr. Snell is a cousin of the Snells of Hullett and was a schoolmate of our esteemed neighbor, Mr. Nichol Robson. Topsy B. Won. The matched race between Mr. 5. Beattie's Topsy B. and Skylark owned by Mr. 0. Grigg of Colborne was run off 00 the Goderich track on Tuesday after- noon and resulted in an easy victory in two straights for the little mare. She was ridden by Jack Moffat, who, for a thirteen -year-old, brindles a runner well. Topsy 13. is now thirteen yeas s old and has been out of racing for six years, but before that campaigned for three or four years and was considered one of the gamiest race horses in this part of the province. Her best tune was forty-nine seconds for the half mile made on the New Hamburg track. Mr. Beattie was delighted with Topsy's victory and so were the twenty-five ('lintonians who went up to witness the race. M►'. Lack Ken- nedy was starter and judge. B. Floody Makes A Raid. In the performance of his duty Mr, E. Floody of the inland Revenue Department is pretty constantly on the wing, sometimes down by the sea and again among the border towns and once in a while amid the fastnesses of the Sangeen Peninsula where the man- ufnctnre of poteen is supposed to he comparatively safe. Ile made a raid there recently and on his visit to Clinton on Tuesday had a sample of the swamp article with him, also n supply of Yankee Cut Plug chew- ing tobacco and cigars, part of a a seizure he made in Petrolia the fore- part of the week. But the purport of his presence here will surprise most, people for he came in search of a still which, according to information, he should have located on n Hallett home- stead, about two miles from this town, which he searched in company with Chief Wheatley, but failed to find a worm or any of the utensils used in the manufacture of illicit whiskey. Tho farmer was naturally enough highly indignant oyer the nature of the visit. Monuments Ordered. Among the orders received by Seale & IIoover recently were : -A red gran- itecemetery to be erected in Milburn y to the memory of Mrs. Anthony Law- son, and au Esper•a nza, of the Oates Ajar design, ordered by Benjamin Far row to be placed over iris father's grave in Ball's cemetery. "The News -Record All Right." "TUE NEw•s•RECORD is all right and pleases us immensely" is what Mr. J. A. Gilmour of Prescott, in far -away Arizona Territory, writes, As a fur- ther taken of his appreciation, Mr. Gilmour enclosed us a two -dollar money order. Iie also sent best wishes to his old bosses, John Tedford and las cob Miller, his town, for whom he cherishes, if we may judge by the tenor of his letter, a warm regard. Hodgen Bros. Import Direct. Mr. H. E. Hodgens of Hodgens Bros. informs us that the firm recently escap- ed, by a neck as it were, a twenty-fiye per cent. duty on an importation of dry goods made by them direct from Ger- many. Had the consignment arrived a day later the Government would have been richer to the amount named. This further bears out what Trim NE\vs-RIs'ORD has been saying about Hodgens Bros,, who do not approve of putting off until to -morrow what can be 3one to -day. The Youngest M.L.A. Mr. J. B. Lucas, M.L.A. for Centre Grey, has been appointed one of the two Conservative 'Whips for the present Legislature. M r. Lucas is the youngest member of the Hoose and we're bound to say we be- lieve one of the ablest. His election WAS one of the most noteworthy of the whole ninety-four on March 3i d last when he converted a Patron majority of six -hundred into a Conservative majority of over eleven -hundred. He is a brother. of Jlrs. (Rev.) J. F. Parke of Clinton. Not Water Enough. The Epwortli League gathering at Brtylield on Tuesday would have been more successful had there been a greater depth of water in the harbor. Six inches more would have been sufficient as the City of London which had aboard some live hundred Leaguers and S.S. children from Gode- rich, hada draught of eight feet, so not being able to enfer she turned about and steamed off for home. The Leaguers from Clinton, there were ly a hundred of them, were much disappointed but still managed to put in a very pleasant afternoon and even- ing. They Bowled At Woodstock. The 'bowlers 'who played at Wood- stock on civic holiday speak very highly of their hospitable recept ion by the play ers of that city and are anxious for a return match so that they may recipro- cate and show haw the Hub can enter- tain when afforded an opportunity. The result of Friday's game did not. favor Clinton, but when next the rinks meet the tables may be turned. The Clinton players were 1. Ransford, Dr. Dewar, Jas. Fair, W. Jackson, skip 1).

At its meeting Monday night the Public School hoard considered fifteen applications for the position of Model School assistant, at salaries ranging from $90 to $125. Tho application of Mr. Elliott Richmond of I3lytlr, who comes well and worthily recommended, was accepted, salary $12.. Last year $75 was paid, and in '9(1 the extra work was performed by the regular staff, who were given an addition to their stipends. They would not, however undertake the work again, as it de- manded too severe a strain. The Board :also ordered payment of the following recounts, the largest one being for painting and glazing done in and on the school -rooms; --O. Cooper & Co., $2.50 ; Jas. Ferguson, $5.25 ; \V. Bow- ers, $89. Mr. Gilroy !'leased With Tho West. Mr. J. C. Gilroy's trip through 111ani- toba and Assinaboira cans n rapid one, but yet lengthy enough to strongly impress him, and he returned a firm believer in the bright, future prospects of the prairie land. "Yon can't hold back the West," said he. lie went as far as Regina, where he met and had luncheon with Governor Cameron, who has a handsome residence north of the city upon which extensive improve- ments are being made. Indian 'lead lie found to be a thriving place, quite bearing out the eulogy of Mr. Steep. Mr, Gilroy w'as also ranch taken with Brandon, the "\Vheat. ('Ry," as its citi- zens have dubbed it. On the whole he had it very pleasant trip and has formed so favorable en opinion of that, great, country that it would take tint little to induce him to locate there, but for the present the end accident, of last week has disarranged all his plans And he yet remains undecided. Military Appointment. Barrister Vrtustono of Wingharn has been appointed to the second lieuten- ancy ofthe 10 tt local company and is now Y! Y taking a special course at the London Military School to make ready for pro- motion. The militia force is becoming popular with the professions, if we may judge by the number who have entered. Another Chatauqua Assembly. (;hatauiiva Assemblies are multiply- ing. Eveir 11lenesetung Park, Goderich is to try the experiment with a ten Ways' Assembly commencing on the 17th insl.. Front the programme we could infer that a day or so might be pleasantly and profitably spent 1YIen- esetung. The speakers include politi- cians, preachers and business men. Mr. A. T. Cooper of the Hub is down for an address on Epworth League work, Lee -En fields For The 33rd Batt. The Militia Department has allowed. the 33rd Batt. the use of ten rifles for target practice. The number is limit- ed, to be sure, but if passed around will give each Company an opportunity of testing the superiority of the new arm over any that has been used. It has a longer range and much greater pene- trative power. Then the powder is smokeless, or next thing to it. We fancy that the use of the Lee-Enfleld, so far as Iluron is concerned, will for the present be confined to the two Rifle Associations of the county. Little Locals. Bert Harland has joined the Ontario St. Methodist choir. Mr. Jas. Howson has been on the sick list this past week. Sunday, August 21st, will be choir Sunday in Ontario St. Methodist church. ('antelon Bros, have made heavy shipments of butter, eggs and fruit this past week, Rev. Mr. Wade delivered an address in the S. A. Barracks bast Sunday afternoon. Rev. Mr. 1flillyar1l will take as his text next Sunday evening: "The Mysterious Fingers." S. II. Smith shipped two car -loads of cattle yesterday, and Cantelon & \Val- lis a double-decker'of hogs on Monday. Mr. J. B. Hoover is proving t his week into the residence he lately purchased from I hspector Robb on Rattenbury St. The monthly meeting of the W.M.S. of Ontario St. church WAS held at the Monis of Mrs. Junes yesterday after- noon. The repairs having been completed the Fair !Hill began running again the forepart, of the week. It. is busy on custom work. The Sacrament of the Lord's Supper was celebrated in Ontario St. church last Sunday moaning. in the evening Rev, G. F. Armstrong of Tuckersmith occupied the pulpit. Mr. Frank Powell had a painful touch of sickness last week, but is again all right, ---Mrs. J. O. Elliott has re- turned to her llorue in Goderich town ship, but is not herself yet. Mr. Sydney Jackson has added to his stock an assortment of tobaccos togeth- er with an apparatus called, a "Tobac- co Shaver" which furnishes cut plug cheaper than could be bought in the old way. The W. 1'. T. V. held its regular monthly meeting at the hone of Mrs. ('rich, Huron 51..,nn Tuesday afternoon. The !heeling was addressed by Miss Fisher, of \Vinghrtnr, president of the County orgrtni'ralion. In Memoriam. NENNemit ('i INTON Gomm.. sox tie J. ('.
