Watch, Brighton, Out. \ large nuinb«r of Fleshertonians drove over to Afarkdale on Tuesday to see the lacrosse match betweeii Markdale ai.d Shelbuine clubs, and wi'nen.sed a thoroughly nuod game for their tro'iblo. Shelbuine thought they had as much of a snap with Maikdale as they h-ul with Flesherton for the tiist ginie, but were sadly deceived. Maikdale put up a lousing good game from beginning to end and have the lio.ior of beating a liam that "hns played hiciosso fin«e they were weaieil," and this was done by a {.reen team. Si.elburi.e is great'on combination play but Markdale hnuged them too close to give them a chance to ejiliil)it themselves iu that lino. The sciMo sti'Od 4. to 3, and the time was as fo.lows: Sheiburne 8 minutes, Mark- dale 30 seconds, Sheiburne 47 minutes, Markdale 10 minutes, Markdale minutes, Maikdale 30 seconds, and Sheiburne iu 15 minutes. Thus M.irk- d.du'.s four goals were made after 17 minutes' play and Shelburne's three took 70 miiiUtos. The Markdale club hiM just cause to feel proud of its p<-rf( rniauee.

Dominion Day 5ports The tinit of July this year was a ylorious day for sports of every kind. Ill Floshorton the t'orciioon wai qiiivtly xpfiiit, but a large amount of ex|ierience of cine kind and am ther w.is gained in the afternoon, the Fleshe-rtoii h cros^io club possi'.ly proli'.iiig most in this re- spect. The schedule matvh between Uundalk and Fle«hsrton was played on the agricultural giounds, resulthig in a ciushins! defeat fur the home team. Tho ball, was faced at 3.40 with the following players : Flesherton â€" .\. Gib .'.on, A. McDougal!, J. CJibson, F. Tucker, J. F VanDuscn, J, W. Mahan, R. Thompson, J. Alliii, E. A. Arm- strong, U. N. Henderson, C. Richard- son. A. M. Lindsay was tieiJ captain and E. Armstrong umpire for Flesherton. Duudalk â€" J. K. i>;cLoud, A. E. Colgan, J. McKay, G. J. Wi:s..n, N. B. Cal- houn, A. E. Laking, J. McAithur, W. J. Symington, H. Lnmon, R. Wilson, W. G. Wilson, J. Lamon. H. Cornett, was field capbiin and W. Moorj umpire for Dundalk. Dr. Campf.oll .,f Mark- dale referucd the game. Tho play was fast and furiou.s i>n bo'.h side's, and dur- iiif; the' course of the game a Flesherton and a Dundalk man was placed hors do cjm* atâ€" Calhoun by receiving a heavy blow on the h"ad and A. Gibson on the shin The (lame was not intentionally roujh, however, but only so m* the furious nature of tho play would naturally load to. There was no ill feeling manifest. Dundalk put up an exceedingly strong game on this oc- casiioiAi. >«P<1 ^heir &nfi coioMuatioQ plaj simply demoralized Ilesherton, and in fact the work was a ; tirprise to the Dun- dalk boys themselves, who claim that they puc up a 50 per cent, better game hsre than tnat which they played with Markdale on Jubilee Day. Flesherton was also very weak in its eon\ keeper. The result was five goals for Dundalk and one for Flesherton, accordinc; to the ompiru's decision, but Fleslierii'U claim- ed another goal, which the umpire did not see and would not grant. Fletherton is not yet prepared to acknowledge that it cannot play lacrosse, and believes that a diffsrsnt state of affairs will be in vogue before the season is 'iver. There were a large number nf sp. utators present, tho gate receipts amoui.'iiig to over $22. UABD'-.y PABTY In the eveniiiL.- a very successful gar- den party was held at the residence of Mrs. J. \T.

Park, ii one of tho ciack bands of Western Ontario, and their courtesy in playitiu at tho garden party here wus very much appreciated. The ladies were also very (jra'eful to our own hand for tho services they rendered. The proceeds of the garden party were $43 A hi'go imm'ier of visitors were present from Markdale and L'un- dalk, and all appeared to thoroughly enjoy theinsehes.
