2 tkt editor of the jn prt iar smthe readers of your interesting paper have been favored with quite contra dictory statements regarding the result of a trial of strength between the powerful men of baunockburn at a tug or war these statements i must admit are hard to reconcile rnirilcrwtod party saya ia his first aiticla john mauus team was auccesaful iu pulling their opponents over the line wonder where did uninterested party get his decision lor in his soooud article lie suys tho umpire gave i t a tie cap tain of the winning team agrees with the first article iu every particular if tha first was correct why coutradict it since uninterested and captain of tho win ning team agree they have set at naught the decision of the umpire it appears con descending to admit it was his own docis iou in the first artide and not the umpires juno censures him for not expressing gratitude to- the victorious party for ceasing to pull when they did thus preventing the captain being left worse than he was if he we ix- pulled over the line what worse cooldit have been if not whence came the victory according to caldeoman rules the winners must poll their opponents over the line or pull the rope from them before they can claim a victory it eccms the result of this pull was a tic but by the time it got to press lit changed to a victory thanking you for your valuable space t remain yours 0iwavo that tug of war challenge to ar uditor of the fvtc frtff in your last issue was inserted a com munication signed captain of the winning team in which he charged me with mis representations i deny the charge for one of his own backers has contradicted him in the same issue therefore too many writers on a crooked 6tory are apt to defeat the end they have in view as has been done in their case i stated the umpires decision and not my own and i regard it as shewing disrespect to our umpire in not accepting his decision- the most amusing j feature of the challenge is their willingness for the same team to pull them knowing that bur teim is broken up one of our number being in michigan mr editor allowjme to compliment the captain on his bravery in asking me to accept a challenge after his refusing mine as i i tendered it before we left the grove that evening staling we would pall them any time before mr hunter would leave now that tie has gone we are asked to accept a i challenge i ask the readers of your valu- i able paper to draw their own conclusions j but ijregird it as a cowardly act for he knew mr hunter was to return to michigan i shortly after the picnic it would appear j from iis challenge that stocks are in good demand but nevertheless i am not going to enccorage gambling in our community and if i were i would entertain aa little confidence in his carrying out a third con tract a5 i do in his earning oat the first and second hoping he may see his manly principles as they are fairly exhibited i shall pass on referring in a few remarks to that ef feminate piece of literature inserted by juno goddess of heaven i would kindly ask her to draw parallels from my communication instead of her false imagin ations though it would no doubt destroy the misleading element and leave her groundless to make such a grand display of her reasoning pawers as she has pre sented j think if she had revised her communication ahe would not have allowed it to go to press thwt uninterested party need not have limited himself to a certain individ ual as there were more lovers of honesty witnessed the pull than he is aware of or ratherthan be wishes to make hiinalf ac quainted with he has ruad a feeble at tempt to extenuste hia sympathy to me for which i lhank him though i need it not this uninterested party stated that a victory for our opponents were the honest convictions of every one present who wit nessed the pall with the exception of my self i do not wish to have my team bcandalii in such a way as they are the lovers oi fair play as much as i am 1 heed not deny his statements regarding the weeping convictions for he has done it himself by saying that the umpire called it a tie but still he would like you to be lieve he made a thorough canvass you can take hat for what it is worth also in his article of three weeks ago he came out boldly and called it v victory for our op- pqnente- now he crawls back into bis shell and asks me whether it was a tie or or a twist thats the kind of a reporter he is he comes to our side of the house for facts as he is beginning to learn that facts cannot lie 2xow in conclusion i bid farewell to all my friendly correspondents as this con cludes my replying i do not harbor any unkind feelings for such is only folly as the tug was got up for fun and bo shall it end as far as pur aide is concerned and 1 do not entertain anything to the contrary regaiding my opponents i now close with kindest regards to alh thanking yon mr editor for the last time for tbe insertion of this i remain yours respectfully alex
