It was a real one--every nerve was strained to win, and every ounce .of strength was put into the struggle for victory, and when B Company carried off the laurels, they had to acknowledge opponents worthy of their. greatest effort. Considering the lack of training on the part of the civilians in the con- test between Port Perry and the Regiment, our home boys gave the visitors a good tussle before : the soldiers finally pulled them across the line. Next in importance from our point of view was the gymnastic display made by Lieut; F. A. Hardman and Corp. Wright. This exhibition was well skilled and most thoroughly en- joyable. The two athletes are to be complimented upon their well trained agility. The greatest fun was taken out of the boxing matches. As each pair of contestants entered the ring they were received in due form by the trainers and by all kinds of chaff and banter by the crowd. Good-nature was the predominant note--the box- ing was fine--nobody lost his temper. Mostloton Seation, Boys' Bicycle Race, under 12--Bob. Carnegie, pencil.

A road in spring's a lovely thing, With blossom pink and white; A summer road just after rains A thing of pure delight; A winter road, in falling snow, Is calmly white and still; But ah, I love an autumn road That climbs a tree-clad hill! The city streets are far too smooth, The boulevards too fine; A broad provincial highway I'd never want for mine. Just grant to me a dusty road The feet of men have trod, Its edges, blue with aster-haze, Flame lit by goldenrod. The sun may shine, the rain may fall, It matters not to me; I share the secrets of the rain, The maples' ecstasy. Such plundered store as I bring home Ne'er crowned a pirate's quest, For Oh, the little roads are kind To those who love them best. Theives Break into Alix. Gilboord's; Store On Sunday night or early Monday morning thieves broke in at the rear of Mr. Alix Gilboord's store, and stole about four hundred dollars' worth of goods, including ready-made suits, ladies' dresses and underwear, boots and shoes, ete, The matter has been put into the hands of the police. This is another evidence of the need of a night watchman in Port Perry. -- = \ OLD ENGLAND LODGE HAS MEETING AFTER THE HOLIDAYS Old England Lodge S. 0. E, B. 8.
