Gosh all hemlock and goodness gracious ten times over, but this is indeed sad news!

In spite of the mad rush for de- | tails of the engagement, and various | confusing rumors trickling from the theatre of war, the above concise re- port has been received from our spec- ia} correspondent. Just how the dis- aster happened, and the other minor details, such as the bravery of wur gallant men under fire, will be left to the imagination of the "peepul." "But 'twas a famous victory" as a certain poet once remarked--at least for the Retailers. Later re- ports indicate that the enemy were strongly entrenched, and their hit- ting was remarkablly accurate, while our own snipers fell down badly in the pinches, It appears that there was a battery attached to the main body of the Printers, but they falled to break up the attack. However, there is no question as to the bravery of the rank and file of the Printers, or their utter disregard for danger at critical periods of the engagement, as shown by the report that some of the men went to sleep at Come. 8AacHx The agility of the Printers, after missing thrown or batted balls, in- spired this one from our cartoonist, their posts, in spite of continual cross-fire from the enemy battery, The battle waged back and forth until the Printers were weakened by the fierce onslaughts of the Retail- ers, and discouraged by casualties in 'their ranks. No quarter was given 'on either side, while hand to hand | encounters were the order of the day. Both armies hurled haGghty words of defiance at each other--such phrases as "I'll slap you in the face," being thought little of during the heat and stress of the battle. Final- ly the Printers were forced to give 'Way---at first retiring In orderly fashion--only to be pursued by the enemy, and scattered to the four cor- ners of the field. The band will please play the "'deadest" march they know. YR. H.

Twenty-three golf enthusiasts held a meeting in the Pembroke Board of Trade rooms on Monday night, and decided to form a club to be known as the Pembroke Golf Club, and to accept the option on the McMullen farm on the Petawawa road, to be converted into links. Shares in the Club will be sold at $100, and fifty- four golfers have already enrolled and are expected to purchase at least one share each. Messrs. J. W, Smith, E. A. Duniop, Dr. Deacon, D. A. Jones, J. L. Morris, J. H. Reeves, J. G. Forgie, and E. B. Reed were elected provisional direc- jtors.
