nil - DM The 24th Celebration. The 70th anniversary of the birth of our beloved Queen was celebrated in Lindsay with a good deal of en- thusiasm, and the attractions and pastimes of the day were numerous. The crowd of visitors was large, and the best of good feeling and order characterized the day throughout. Amongst the pastimes indulged in was an excursion to Sturgeon Point, under the auspices of the Delury Fife and Drum Band, the affair being successful and enjoyable. The base ball match at the McCarthy grounds on Victoria Ave. was a spirited contest, and the at- tendance was such as to make the gate receipts yield a good sum to Lindsay B. B. C. The Lindsay Citi- zens’ Band and the Port Perry band greatly added to the suc- cess of the day’s enjoyment to those who patronized the match at the Mo- Carthy park, and we have to con- gratulate “the boys” upon the success of their contribution to the attractions of the 24th of May celebration. The games at the Agricultural Park, of which Messrs. Scott and Sullivan, world-renowned athletes, etc., were ichief cook and butlers, were not at- tended by a crowd sufficiently large to make the said world-renowned wonders “flush” enough to pay the prizes won, the three town printers, or the pipers even. As to the games, they were in the hands of a. half dozen “professiOn- als,” so it is not necessary to waste any more printer’s ink upon a description of them. The whole afi‘air from be- ginning to end, the financial part 01: the business to prize-winners, printers and pipers especially, shewed clearly that the managers of the Agricultural Park Association might well con- sider carefully for the future the advisability of exercising a little caution as to whom they shall let the park on occasions of public celebrations, even though $50 for the grounds and the; $30 for the stand, etc., are secured through putting a man in to handle the fees for safety. The reputafion of the town and the interests of the public generally should also be considered and protected. The fact that the town council have been spending consider- able in building a caretaker’s residence and in other ways improving grounds to which they have no legal claim whatsoever, gives us a right to pro- test against any more humbugs being allowed to impose upon the public. We regret to be compelled to say any- thing but what is complimentary about public celebrations in our town, but so far as a repetition of the visit of such entertainers as the Scott-Sullivan athletes are concerned, we want no more of such. The less of such the better for the Agricultural Park As- sociation, the town, and all concerned. [Since the above was in type we have received a letter from Sullivan from \Voodstock, explaining the reason of his and Scott’s sudden departure from town on the grounds that the receipts were too small to meet the claims of all their cred- itors, and promising to discharge all local bills by July 6th. Should Messrs Sullivan and Scott keep their word, wc shall gladly give them credit for the same uponour books, and also in these columns. Ed.

The event occurred on the 17th inst., from acute inflammation of the bowels. Young Mr. Heaslip was highly esteemed, gave much promise of a useful career. His early death is a great blow to his parents, who have the heartfelt sympathy of the com- unity in their great loss. One of the prettiest games of base ball ever witnessed in this town was played in McCarthy’s park on May 24th between the Beaver Club of Toronto, and the town. Club. The Secretary of the Lindsay Club received a telegram that the Oswego Club could not fill its engagement on account of the tournament in Toronto falling through, so the managers of the Club sent a man to Toronto and payed the Beavers more money than they were going to pay Oswego in order to give the citizens a good game of base ball. The Lindsay Club and Beavers marched .up street headed by the Port Perry and Citizens’ Bands to McCarthy’s park where there was upwards of 1000 people already in the field. The Lindsay Club went to the field and the Torontos were retired in quick order, then Lindsay went to bat when they were quickly retired for noth- ing this kept up till the seventh innings when the Toronto boys scored 3 runs all on errors of Lindsay, then Lindsay went in determined to do or die, and succeeded in getting two runs to their credit in this stylezâ€"Little went to bat first and reached first on a beautiful hit stole second and got to third on a passed ball. Rooks then took the bat and failed to do anythmg as he was retired on strikes. McAdams then took the bat and thought it was about time he was doing something he succeeded in making a beautiful hit bring- ing in Little and the first‘run for Lindsay. McAdams immediately stole second and was not contented there until he stole third base and then Preston came to the rescue with a nice sacrifice hit allowing McAdams to score the second and last run for Lindsay. The rain then came down and ended the game. The follow- ing is the score by innings: Beavers 0 O 0 00 Lindsay O 0 0 O 0 0 O Lindsay 2 Batters, Little and Billings £01 Lindsay. Kenan and Jones for Toronto. Umpire Mr. F. Dennison Two beautiful double plays were made one by Little, Gladstone, and Preston, and the other by Bates and Preston. Preston made; a. beautiful p1ckup of a hot line hit that looked good for two bases. The people should turn out and patron- ize the game, as Lindsay has a club the town may well he p_roud (if Gladstone, Rooks, Preston, Bates, Robinson, and Varcoe all played their positions well as did Little and Billings and McAdams at short stops.

The following letter was sent by Dr. Caven on the 13th inst,, to to the Victoria W order with reference to an article which appeared on the 10th. As it has not yet appeared in the W'ardcr, Dr. Caven thought: proper to communicate it to the public:â€" To the Editor of the Victoria IVarder. SIR,â€"- In the TVarder of last, week, in an editorial entitled “The Presbyterians,” the following aentence occurs:â€" ~on “Rev. Dr. Cav en and many other life- long Refonners have struck out from the shoulder and are bent on cleaning out not only the Quebec stable but also Ontario.” Will you allow me to say that the Citizens’ Committee, on which I act, has repeatedly and emphatically declared its desire to keep the movement free from the perverting influence of‘party politics. ‘ The adaress issued By the: committee contains these words:â€" “We do not aim at antagonizing or pro- moting any politiCal party.” 2, And any, attempt on the part of any member of the committee to utilize the present movement for party ends would be at once dishonourable andvinjurious to the cause in hand. The inference that my connection with the Citizens’ Committee implies opposition to Mr. Mowat is entirely gratuitous. I claim the liberty to speak freely on the whole subject of Ultramontane aggressive- ness wherever it reveals itself, but I have never stated, nor has anything done by me afforded just ground for the conclusion that I wished to see Mr. Mowat super- seded. H To hold Mr. Mowat responsible for the Jesuit Estates Act, as your article of the 10th does, seems to me quite singqlar. In this anti-Jesuit moyement I have no object in view which is not explicitly avowed, and I regret to find that my name should be used in a way fitted to prevent any who are in sympathy with the move- ment from lending it their hearty support. Yours, etc., Toronto, May 13. [If the Rev. Dr. Caven had been as well acquainted with the Editor of the Warder as the people of this community, he would no be surprised at his taking an unwar- ranted liberty with another’s position, and the reverend doctor would have spared himself the trouble of noticing any of the W'arder’s effusions. Whatever Dr. Caven’s views on the political situation may be, we can assure him the public around here take no stock nowadays in the Warder’s productions, as it is notorious that that journal’s political and religious views have both gone all to smashâ€"[Ed Drain Tile, all sizes, at reduced prices, at the brickyard.

Leases His Wife and EIOpes with a Fair Telegraph Operator. An elopement, which Will probably end in a sensational divorce suit, is the talk of the town. The parties are a gallant militia captain, and an interesting telegraph oper- ator, and their destination was San Fran- cisco, California. The cause of the elope- ment it is stated by their friends is infidel- ity on the part of the gentleman’s wife, which caused him to seek consolation from others. This, however, is denied by the abandoned lady, who is still in town, and who claims that he has treated her continu- ally with great cruelty, having first broken her heart and afterward her collar-bone in a fit of rage. She also avers that he has not contributed to her surport since July last, and skipped out without leaving her a cent. Should he return she intends to have him arrested on a serious charge, which, as yet, she refuses to make public.

The World sayszâ€"“St. Basil’s church was crowded to the doors last night upon the occasion of a specially fine musical service and a sermon by Rev. Father Teefy on “Woman’s “fork in the Catholic Church.” The altars were handsomely decorated and‘brilliantly illuminated. The choir, under the leadership of Rev. Father Chalandard, with Rev. Father Murray at the organ, sang Gioza’s grand Musical vespers, the soloists being Miss Bolster and Mrs. Ormsby, sopranos; Mrs. Gough, contralto; Mr. J. F. Kirk, tenor, and Mr. T. H. Kelly and Father Chalandard, bass- At benediction there was sung Cush. man’s O Salutarius; a. trio by Miss Bol- ster, Mrs. Gough and Mr. Kirk; Luizzi Luigi’s Ave Maria by Miss Maria Strong which was grandly rendered; and Beale’s Tantum Ergo by the choir, Miss Bolster taking the solo. Rev. Father Teefy’s text was from Proverbs xxxi: Who shall find a valiant women? The value of her is as of things from afar ofiaud from the utter-most coasts. ‘ Her children rose up and called her blessed: her hus- bagc}, aqd he_praised Aher.‘ _ She hath ope ned her hand to the needy and hath stretched out her hand to the p_oo_r._ Gixlre her ofthe fruit of her hands and let her works praise her in the gates. Father Teefy delivered an eloquent discourse from this text and fully main- tained his reputation as a pulpit orator in his reviewof the work of Catholic won.en towards advancing the cause of Chris- ianity, morality and humanity. It was for Christ to bestow upon women the hon- or to them when he established the sacra- ment of marriage; before that woman in pagan nations was but a slave. The typi- cal valiant woman is the Blessed Virgin, who was most valiant in all the virtues but especially in purity. She is the model of mothers who have the welfare of their child1en’ s souls at heart.
