The first liotfgh ()up game of the season will be played on Saturday, May 7, cvhenlitit-' riston will endeavor to lift the much coveted "silver." The champions are working hard every day and are rapid- ly rounding into shape. The boys have good reason to belieye that in Harris - ton they have worthy opponents, and though they are sanguine as regards the result, of the game, do riot purpose allowing any over -confidence to in- volve them in disaster. The town Col- legiate players will be McKinnon, Mc- Queen, C. Mestard, Murch,T:' Mustard, Whiddon, Houston, Camecon Keys, Gunn, Aikenhead,Badout and Shipley. The latest Collegiate to covet the trophy is Stratford, in reference to which it special despatch says ..-1-"The boys- of The Collegiate Institute of this city in- tend to place a football team in the field to compete with otherHigh School in the vicinity for the Hough Cup,pre. sented by the W.

We hope for her speedkarestoration to health. . •HOLES IN THE ROADS. -When the Mayor goes into n hole on the roadway he has it filled the next day. This is practice. When a resident or farmer goes into the, same bole, he says nothing'about it, even though he breakhishairless or rig. This is a mistake. The street committee as a rule is very good in responding to complaints and having these spots re- medied, when it does not require too much of the town's finances,but as the menabeis are business men, -and are unable to make a tour of the town to find out these places, we would ad- vise our citizens to notify the commit. tee concerning them, and if they are not attended to, to tell them again, so that the work will be attended to. It is money well spent. THE C. Y. DISTRICTS -The Canadian Association's District CCM- mittei., consisting of Vice -President Nelson. Secretary W. 11.
