Victoria Day Celebration,
The celebration of Victoria day,
under the auspices of Wingham Base-
ball team and the Citizens' Band, was
quite a success, considering that Base-
ball games were the chief attraction.
fin the forenoon, Kincardine and
'eoswater teams played a good game.
So close was the score, that eleven
innings were played to decide the
game, and then the score was only
4 to 3, with Teeswater boys as win-
ners. We have not been able to
secure the names of the Kincardine
players. The ts lrenBrink, Fergn,Arsbail,
Goode, Johnston, Fraser, Hiscocks,
McKay.
The first game in the afternoon was
between Lucknow and Wingham, and
proved to be a "merry-go-round" and
almost a walk -over for Wingham
team. The following were the play-
ers :—
WIN413A.�I LucicNow
Dunlop Pitcher Brislan
Algie Catcher . McCoy
Britton 1st base Johnston
Belcher 2nd base Thompson
Hammond 3rd base Jepson
Moore C field Finlater
Hamilton R. field Habbick
Aitcheson L field Reid
Workman ....Short stop Bryan
Umpire—J. Green, Teeswater
The following is the score by inn-
ings :—
Wingham-3 6 4 0 3 0 7 1 2-25
Lucknow --I 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 2— 3
The result of these games left Tees -
water and Win sham to play the de-
ciding game. Both teams having
4 played, it was decided to make the
game seven innings. The line -tip was
practically the same for Teeswater as
in the forenoon, except that Colvin
took AicKay's place. In Wingharn,
Belcher and Algie formed the battery,
with Johnston of Kincardine as Um-
pire. The following is the score by
innings :--
Wingham-0 3 5 1 3 4 3-19
Teeswater-0 5 1 0 0 2 0— 8
This gave the first prize to Wing -
ham, and the second to Teeswater.
The attendance was very fair, and
the weather fine; gate receipts, a little
over $200, but the expenses were
heavy.
The Citizens' Band rendered good
music during the day, and in the
evening gave an open-air concert in
front of the Town gall.

From Wingham Mar.
The fame of Wingham High School
has spread far and wide. At Strath-
cona, Alta., they are building a High
School at a cost of $85,000, and hear-
ing that Winghani had one of the
latest and best (especially the labora-
tory) the Strathcona people have sent
right here to the hub, to get the latest
ideas. These of course they are wel-
come to, but the moment these west-
erners begin to figure on getting any
of our teachers, there'll be trouble
ahead.

Death Of Father.
Miss Dandy, Wingham, received a
telegram on Saturday, informing her
of the serious illness of her father,
who resides in the township of Brant,
a few miles from Chesley, and she left
by first train for the parental home,
her uncle, Abs Hooey, accompanying
her. On Monday word was receive
that Air. Dandy had passed away on
Sunday morning. He had been in
poor health for some months. No
further particulars are at hand at
time of going to press. Miss Dandy's
Wingham friends will sympathize
with her in her sore bereavement.
Winter Blizzard In May.
Hick's forecasts for May intimated
that a storm attended with danger
might be expected about the 20th,
with hail. It came to Wingham on
the 20th and 27th ; there was hail in
this vicinity on the 213th and on Mon-
day, a genuine snow blizzard raged
nearly all day. On the 28th, a torna-
do in Texas devastated the country
and killed 14 persons. The village of
Nixon, near St. Thomas was hit by
Sunday's storm, buildings shattered
and unroofed, and much Ioss caused.
What has the "oldest inhabitant" to
say about a snow blizzard on the 27th
of May ? Isn't it a record ?
The London Conference.
The London Conference of the
Methodist Church began its session
this week in Goderich. The Station-
ing committee commenced its work on

In Fort William.
A letter from Fort William, with
the heading "Jas. H. Chisholm & Co.,
Real Estate and Insurance Brokers,"
informs us that our friend Jas. Chis-
holm of Wingham, is located for the
present in the northern town. He
writes thus :—" y 1 friends from
An old fr' nd
or near Wingham travelling in this
locality, will find me pleased to see
them and willing to give any informa-
tion desired. I do not feel mucha
of
stranger, having found among the
business men of this prosperous city a
number of former Winghamites of
very recent date. The people of Fort
William have great confidence in their
city and think it will be the Chicago
of Canada before very many years.'
A Distinguished Artist.
We notice in a recent Ottawa paper,
an account of the opening of the 28th
annual exhibition of the Royal Cana-
dian Academy of Arts. The Presi-
dent of the Academy is Mr. Geo. A.
Reid, who is a son of Mr. Adam Reid,
of Wingham, it must be exceedingly
gratifying to a parent to see his son
occupying so distinguished is position,
evidencing as it does, not only the
talent Mr. Reid possesses, and the
high position he has reached in his
profession, but also the esteem in
which he is hold by the members of
the Royal Academy of Arts. At the
ggathering referred to, President Reid
delivered an excellent address, an-
nouneing (in the absence of Hon.
Sydney Fisher) that the Government
had decided to arrange for the estab-
Iishment of an Advisory Council of
Art, on whose advice, time Minister of
Public Works will make an expendi-
ture for Art purposes. A large num-
ber of distinguished patrons of Art
were present, and the finest collection
of paintings ever collected by Cana-
dian artists, wits on exhibition.

Good Wash Por Plants.
Take a small handful of tobacco,
and steep it in boiling water until the
water looks like weak tea. When the
water is cool it '
isfi t o•
1 use, with a
sponge or soft cloth. Afterwards re-
duce the strength of the infusion with
more water, and thoroughly wet the
earth around the roots. This is one
of the best ways for keeping a plant
healthy and destroying insects.
A Monstrosity.
The Chesley Enterprise reports a
calf born in Elderslie, that has its
heart, lungs, stomach, intestines,
liver, etc., outside the -calf and the
shoulders, muscles, skin and hair on
the inside. Dr, Bone has preserved
it in a solution of formaldehyde, and
if city reporters want to see some-
thing that knocks the double -headed,
triple legged, or twin calves a la
Siamese, into an ordinary show, let
them go up to Chesley,
Horses Killed By Lightning.
The electr•icaI storm on Sunday last
was very severe, and it brought heavy
loss to Mr, Richard Irwin of the
eleventh concession of East Wawa -
nosh. Four of his horses were in the
field, and lie brought one into the
stable before the storm burst. The
other three, a working mare, is two-
year old and a yearling colt, were
killed by the light ,ing's stroke. At
the price of horses now, the loss is a
heavy one for Mr. Irwin.
Cheaper School Books.
On page four will be found the an-
nouncement of cheaper school books.
This will be a boon for the families of
Ontario. Besides, the reductions now
announced as the result of the Ontario
Government's efforts are only the be-
ginning of slashing reductions all
along the line. The minister of educa-
tion is said to have a definite policy in
this direction. The plan is to cheapen
the cost of all the textbooks used in
the schools and colleges in the pro-
vince. Read article on page 4,

Attractive Year Book,
The Bank of Hamilton has issued a
Year book, gotten up in attractive
form. It contains a list of the share-
holders, statistics showing the de-
velopment of the business, and other
information pertaining to this pro-
gressive and sound financial institu-
tion. There were also illustrations of
the handsome buildings by the differ-
ent branches of the Bank, and among
them we notice that of Wingham.
The Wingham branch is well looked
after by Mr. U. P. Smith, the mana-
ger, and his staff of courteous clerks.
Lucknow Is Preparing.
The Lucknow Sentinel says :—"The
12th of July will be celebrated in
Lucknow on a large scale. The com-
mittee recently appointed to ascertain
the feeling of the people relative to a
celebration has reported that they
met with most encouraging success,
and it is expected that the day will be
one of the best Lucknow has ever
known in many years. The commit-
tee having the celebration in hand are
sparing no expense or pains to make
the celebration a red letter day in the
history of the town.
A Late Spring.
On the morning of May 21st, three
inches of snow were. reported from
Alberta,
and
thel '
baa ttiful
still fallin
Some of these English emigrants will
think the chap that dubbed Canada
"The Lady of the Snows" was not so
far wrong after all. Even in Ontario,
the spring has been late and appear-
ances discouraging, but let no one be
pessimistic. There will no doubt be
a, harvest, and plenty for man and
beast. Sometimes the troubles we
imagine will overtake us, never come
at all ; so let us be optimistic. J. D.
Howden, of Ontario county, says he
remembers a spring much like this in
'74. That year there was too much
frost in the ground to allow of plow-
ing sod even so late as May,9, but in
autumn crops were equal to the best
ever harvested, Mr. Howden himself
having 100 bushels of oats to the acre.

First Half Of June.
Prof. Hicks reports as follows :--
There is such an array of astronomical
perturbing causes as we have never
before had occasion to consider or
record in the month of June. While
it may be that these many causes will
compensate or counterbalance the
effects of each other, we believe that
phenomenal perturbations will reach
some sort of crisis in earth and sky.
A regular storm period extends from
the 2nd to the 7th. The crisis of this
period will fall on and next to that
date, and the culmination will come
in sudden and severe thunder storms,
cloudbursts, hail, wind and possible
tornadoes. A reactionary storm
period is central on the 0th, 10th and
11th. The new moon is on the 10th,
in the midst of the magnetic crisis
that falls annually on and about June
the 11th. This period will bring ex-
cessive warmth, very low barometer,
abnormal humidity and violent thnn-
des and wind storms. Earthquakes
will be reported in many quarters of
the globe, within three days of noon
on the 10th. Jane thunder clouds will
break in hail storms and cloudbursts
in many localities during this period.
Rising barometer, west winds and
change to much cooler will spread
eastwardly overthe country from
about the 11th to over.
Third regular
storm period will prove ono of the
most decided times of turmoil in June.
It is central on the ltitb- and will come
to its culminating stages during Sun-
day the 10th, to Tnesday the 18th. A
Ions reading of your barometer at this
tune will be an admonition of danger,
which no one should ignore, especially
those who live in the tornado and
flood regions. Look for an excess of
lightning, some of which will he dab -
germs, knit most of which will be
harmlows and sublime.
Provincial License Report.
The report of the operation of the
License Acts for 1008 is at hand, and
from it we extract a few statistics.
In 1874,
there ere iHuron H fro
n con Ly
150 tavern and 38 shop licenses issued.
Ten years later, in 1884, the figures
were 108 tavern and 11 shop licenses,
In 1884, '88 and '87, the Canada Tem-
perance Act was in force. In the
year 1888, the same number were
issued as in 1884. By 1808, there was
a further reduction to 83 tavern and
0 shop licenses. The latest figures
given are for 1905, when 73 tavern and
5 shop licenses were issued, The year
1907 will show a still further reduction
when figures are available,
Tows Council.
A special meeting of Wingham
Town Council was held on Friday
evening to allow Mr. Barber of Med-
ford to lay before the Council his offer
of a new water -wheel for the Electric
Light plant. It seems to be admitted
that a new wheel is a necessity, Mr.
Barber proposes to install one of his
00 -inch waterwheels, also strengthen
the present bulkhead and readjust the
speed, for $1,000. This he claims
would give one-third more power, or
require only two-thirds of the water
now used, thus removing the neces-
sity of steam (except very occasional-
ly) and hence it would prove a matter
of economy. If the Council saw their
way clear to the expenditure, Mr.
Barber also advises the installation of
a second wheel, a smaller one, to take
up the work when the load is light,
and thus economize the water supply;
this would cost with installation, pro-
bably $700. It was moved by Corm's.
Bell and Gordon and carried, that the
matter be investigated by the Execu-
tive committee, and that they report
at the next meeting of Council.
