VI. (1 c3. "“ Fear not to lie, ’twill seem a lucky hit ; 7'Shrink not from blasphemy, ’twill pass for wit ; Jv-rvw And stand ”â€" the only original Sam 1 Hughes of the Victoria Warden ‘ In the poet’s time there had not arisen a. man who “ didn’t give a (1 cl for the religious side of the bloody thing,” so the description of the living subject of to-day is not complete in rhyme. By the way, talking of this family business, when pos- teritv for amusement climb up the gen- nnlnninal tree- and find Sam “’ith his ealogicel tree, and find Sam with 1115 “letter to the conference” perched on one of the twigs. won’t they say “ Grand- ,7, the number of pleasure seekers who visit- ed the Point, Port Hope, Toronto, etc., was considerable, and somewhat diminish- ed the volume of the celebration at home. A change of air and a change of scene is enticing, but so long as they “celebrate," We presume the rule should apply, “every one to his own tastes.” The day in Lind- say was ushered in by a salute from Mill’s battery of artillery in the Royal ‘Ward, and for a. couple of hours the air rever- beiated with the boom of cannon. The citizen’s band and the fife and drum band entertained the throngs of visitors with choice selections of music during the forenoon. At 12.30 an immense gather- ing of school children assembled at the‘ market square, and being formed into line marched to the music of the fife and drum band and the citizen’s band to the east end of Kent street, and thence to the agricultural grounds. In the line were the pupils of several country sections, wearing suitable emblems and carrying flags, besides the pupils of the town. Fully 1200 were in the procession, and the exhibition was decidedly the finest feature of the day’s celebration. The sports at the grounds were carried on in a most satisfactory manner, and the en- ,_‘IAL- at Sam we (h ILAUOL utuv‘ungvv-J joyment, of the onlookers was complete. Although the programme was not of the most pretentious kind. .it was Vastly su- perior to the “professional” programme which has been often submittea to the Lindsay public. The committee are de- serving of the highest credit for “their ef- forts to supply a fitting celebration for our national holiday. Cricket Notes. 1 Perhaps the most interesting place on% Dominion Day was the school ground, a game of cricket being played be- ‘ tween the Oshawa team and the Collegi- ate Institute eleven, which resulted in a victory for the home team by one Wicket. "The Oshawas arrived on the Toronto train and were immediately taken to the school Where a splendid lunch was waiting; for them. Play commenced, as soon as the inner man was satisfied, and Lindsay win- ning the toss sent the visitors to bat, who ran up a score of 33. Dewar contributing 8 and Holland 7. The home team then took up the “willow” and at the fall of the _ AA last «wicket had 36 runs, Montgomery making: 8 and Matthews and Porter 7 each, McBurney although only getting in 2 runs entirely used up the bowlers by his steady play. The Oshawas again tried their luck at the bat but they could not solve the swift bowling of Montgomery and were kept down to 21 runs. This left the Coilegiates 18 runs behind or 19 to "heat. The boys went in for the last time to do or die and they determined not to allow the visitors to defeat them. They were the-more anxious to do this on ac- count o‘f "their defeat last Saturday by the 2nd eleven of the Trinity College School. With this in view by good play- jest, ing especially on the part of Montgomery and McBumey they succeeded in getting ing 19 runs for nine wickets, thus winning; the game. This last inning was very close and exciting, for when the 9th wicket it was a tie but a close run gave Lindsey the game. The bowling on both sides was excellent, for the visitors. Gold and Verrall clean bowled seven each, and for the home team, Baker, Monegomery. Milner, Porter and Matthews mowed down the Oshawa wickets. The Oshawa players are a fine set of fellows and ~a nicer lot could hardly be'played with. The first cricket match on the home grounds this season was played last Sat- urday. with the Trinity College School (Port Hope) second eleven. and resulted. in a defeat for the Collegiate by 19 runs. The batting of Trinity was not sarong by any means, while that of the Collegiate ' ' O ms an unnnugatged ass.” for feeling, pass your proper That Letter. Dominion DaY- team exceptionally weak. There was no reason Whatever why the home team should not have won this match, but they were unable to bat the excellent bowling of Barker and Daunais. The highest scores for Trinity were Ghent 14 and Mr. Jackson, reporter for the Toronto IVorld was in town the greater part of last week, interviewing our citizens generally‘ for the purpose of securing information wherewith to “write up” Lindsay in a full age of the W orld shortly. The World has displayed great enterprise in connection with its descriptions of the leading towns of Ontario, and whilst advancing its own circulation and interests thereby, has done much to encourage greater progress and enterprise on the part of the towns and hities of the Province.

They scattered so quickly after the accident that it was impossible to get 4 their names. Some of them were brought ‘ in on a relief train, while others took the horse cars from Cedar Hill. The accident was caused by the spread- ing of the rails while a gang of trackmen were at work laying the track. The engine passed over all right, but they spread under the baggage car, turning it across the track, and the other cars behind it pushing it into the ditch, the smoker, one passenger coach and two ’drawing room cars which ‘ went over on their sides and landed in the ditch. The rear car left the track but did not turn over.

PATERSON, N.J., June 28.â€"Four women and two men, all disreputable characters, were discovered dead to-night in a house of ill-repute here. Death was caused by asphyxiation. Three of the women were stretched out ‘on the floor, half naked. The oldest, aged 40, was lying in a pool of blood, which came from any ugly wound in the head and covered her face and body. Her right eye Was almost torn from the socket and the face was horribly swollen. The fourth; women, aged 17, was sitting in a rocking chair near the window with her arms folded. Goodfried, keeper of the dive, was found in the rear of the house lying on a cot with his tongue protrudina and swollen to four times its norma size. His features were badly decomposed. He was about 80 years old. The second man was found in a sitting position with his head resting on the bed on which Good- fried was lying. Near him was a gas stove, which had evidently one the fatal work. The gang were last seen Wednesday night going into the dive. It is believed they have been dead since Thursday morning. The coroner and police are investigating the case. 'l‘ho Ambitious City Amman-Ines Warring . Against Vagrants.
