Last. week was the shortest week we ever knew in our lives, wasn't it. Were we home-sick? I guess not; but as some were not lucky enough to be there, we wish them to know how we spent our time. Well, the first thing every morning when 'Sonny' Adair blew the reveille, we donned our bathing suits and made one run to the lake for our morning dip. In ten minutes we were called back for our exercises, Then we hur- riedly dressed ourselves, and gathered in a circle around the flagpole to sing 'O! Canada," while the flag was being 1aised. At eight o'clock the bugle called 'Come to the cookhouse door," and be- lieve me, it didn't call the second time. After breakfast we washed our dishes in the lake, and returned to. our tables again with our hibles for morning worship. By nine-thirty our tents were all tidy, and then they were in- spected. Say, you should have seen our tents. We tried so hard to beat that Wabigoon bunch ! Then, at ten, our groups met in bible study, which was followed by group games led by Mr D. J. Wilson. § at eleven we all went in hat felt good last again blew that e to the cookhouse, vere all trying to e went for a hike to It will save vu It was hot, so we by the beach; but an a. trail, so we made water. We got a little n't matter. We were y for supper--- beans 'bread and butter and that taste good | her afterncon we We were divided mpbell got 1st ine 2nd, and Ted mer Silver got 1st y Lundmark 2nd, and 3rd. In group III. Bill ie 1st, Alex Wilson 2nd, and k y 8rd. Another afternoon 1d an aquatic meet, but the water so cold we were mot able to finish After supper we played baseball-- : no, not the hard ball, but it's just as much fun. Mr Baxter's team was hard to heat--ivel!, we beat them once any- way, and almost did it again. They played a godd game. Give them three cheers. Hip, Hip! Every evening we had a sing-song around the camp fire down by the lake. Say, did you know preachers sang such songs as 'Old Macdonald had a farm, or 'We threw it out the wwindow," or 'Old King Cole'? I didn't know they ever did, but I tell you they taught us how to sing. Didn't we sing ! T'll say we did. We sang every evening, and told stories till nine-thirty, and then, after our evening devotions in our tents Sonny blew 'Lights Out, and we all slept like logs. Oh, say! I almost forgot to tell you about our stunt night. Some people came out to visit us on I'riday evening. We all sat around the camp-fire, and at first sang our songs and then we had a Jfalk-fost, Do you know what that is? Well, two boys begin to talk to the audience at one time, and one tries to talk the other down. Say, it was funny. You should have seen Eric Johnston and Jack French, or Eddie Haldorsen and Willie Moline ! Mr Rivers could scarcely stop Eddie. Some boys gave speeches. Gordon Campbell showed us a stunt. McCraw, the stu- dent preacher from Quibell, gave us some funny readings, and Mrs Hamil- ton, Mrs Rivers, Mrs Ridd, each gave us solos, while Mr LeBaron played on the fiddle. n We sure had a good time. When Mr Rivers told us Monday morning that we were to break camp, we all were sorry and said "Next year we'll have TWO weeks, eh?" Then Mr Rivers told us who had won the greatest number of credits during the week; for having our tents looking the best, and doing our work the best. Mr Wilson's group won the medals, but Mr Rivers said we all did well. Eric Whiteley won the prize for being the most proficient and four- square boy in camp for the week. The leaders of the camp--E. G. Baxter, D. J. Wilson, and H. A. Rivers --wish to express their greatest thanks to all who so generously lent their as- sistance to make this camp a success. They feel greatly indebted to Mr A. J. Clempson for the loan of the tents and blankets; to Mr Crosier, for the loan of his truck; and to Mr G. Henderson, for his kindly assistance in every way. We also wish to thank all those who donated utensils, fruit and cake. We appreciated every kindness.

Cubs 3 2 1 Giants 2 2 0 Tigers 1 1 Wabigoon 1 3 Elks 1 The Cubs clashed with the Tigers on Tuesday night and came out by defeat- ing the Tigers, 14-18. It was the funniest game seen on the grounds, mixed with good and bad ball. Both teams being at their worst. This accounting for many errors and runs. The Tigers taking the lead in the early part of the game, holding the Cubs to 9-2, until the Cubs came back with their old fighting spirit, leaving the score 12-9 in their favor, until the ninth, when they began to settle down. The Cubs being the last batters made a "do-or-die" attempt to score. Foote walked, with two men out; Siredde singled, bringing Foote home; Scotty Foote, playing for the Cubs, who were one player shy, drove one out to centre field, bringing Sfred- do home, winning the game for the Cubs 14-.18. No credit is due any of the teams for the ganie they played. But Berrey, Hay, and Adair were the star batters for the Tigers while nearly all the Cubs gave a fair account of them- selves. Umpires--Pitt and McTavish. Thursday's Games-- The Elks and Cubs met on Thursday night, at Dryden. The Cubs emerging from the slugging battle by a score of 9--6. The Cubs, short handed by the ab- sence of Sfreddo and Wright, had = scrub team, and all playing good ball. Weaver pitching, was in great form receiving suppert from all players. Warren, Foote, Clempson, Evans, Bill Higgins, being subsituted, all gave an excellent account of themselves. Dickson, Payne and Jim Oliphant, in the field, also did well. The Elks put up a great fight, but having a bad night, being handicapped by the absence of Louttit on short, who hag been troubled with his hand. Up- ton, Foote, Kerney, and Baxter, shwed some of the boys some real classy ball Pinkerton on short, Hodgkinson, on third. Hake, Whiting, Morden keep- ing things going on the outfield. - But the Cub batters were a little too many for them. Payne, Evans, Foote and Clempson slugged hard and helped in big hits, while Dickson, Higgins, Dusty and the rest came along with some nice Softies. Kerney, Upton, Foote, 1. Whiting and Morden did all the slugging for the Flks. Umpires--Skillen and Miller. Oxdrift Coming to the Front. The Tigers met the Giants at the Oxdrift picnic on Thursday, and fell before them to the tune of 10--&6. It was a real battle, but the Giants got a lead and held it right through. Anderson held them down from start to finish, and got good support. They were not batting up to their old home- ny style, but what they did get were safe. The Tigers struggled hard to over- come their advantage, but errors held them back. Adair, Berrey and Swan- son led in the batting, making some nice hits. Lillie and Adair were the' battery, playing some fine ball. Berry also starred on first, the rest coming in for their share in fine style. This was easily the best game ever played on the Oxdrift grounds and played to a record crowd. Snider and Hutchison umpired in great style. Don't forget the game at Oxdrift on Saturday night-- Cubs vs. Giants for the play-off in the 1st series. Notice.
