Owen, Reach Township, was the scene of a very pleasant and happy gathering when their neighbors and friends: met to celebrate with them the twenty-fifty anniversary of their wedding day. About seventy five be- ing present. Just at the proper time Mx. and Mrs. Owen were seated in the parlor, and Mrs. Wilson Gerrow read the following address: Dear Mr. and Mrs. Owen, we, your neighbors and friends have gathered here to-night to celebrate with you the twenty-fifth anniversary of your wedding day. No doubt this will bring memories of the time when you start- ed life together in England; probably one of the outstanding events of the last twenty-five years was your leav- ing the Old Land to try your luck in Canada. We are sure that your many friends in England would rejoice to be with us on this occasion. Since coming to your present home you have made many friends, all of whom trust that health, happiness and prosperity may be yours for many years to come. As a slight token of the esteem in which you are held by the community, we ask you to accept these dishes. Signed on behalf of friends. In replying Mr. and Mrs. Owen thanked the friends very kindly for the gifts and expressed their pleasure at seeging so many present. Mrs. Owen received other gifts as well, The rest of the evening was spent in chit chat, progressive euchre and dancing. (ein CEMETERY MEETING The annual meeting of the Pine Grove Cemetery Company will be held in the Town Hall, on Monday, Jan. 21st. All interested are urged to be present as some very important busi- ness will be brought forward for dis- cussion, such as tne financial report, moving house and cutting trees. anise UTICA NEWS Regardless of bad roads and post- poned date the Christmas tree under the auspices of the United Church Sunday School, was a decided suecess. Proceeds $28.00. Mr, and Mrs. Jas. Bentley are both confined to the house with flu, but are improving at time of writing. Mr, J. Forster had the misfortune to lose his fine house by fire on New Years morning. Mr. Forster, who has been staying alone the last week, went to a neighbors for milk and when he returned found the kitchen in flames. He called help, but on account of the well being so close to the fire, in a short time the water supply was cut off and all assistance was of no avail. The fire burned very slowly as it backed against the wind, which was fortunate or the barn also would have been lost. The Fire Department of Port Perry was called ,and Mr. Norman Ewers at once offered his services and truck to bring the pump, but had it been necessary to use it to save the barn, it would have been impossible to get near the well. Mrs. Forester and children left for their new home in Tweed on the Thursday before and Mr. Forster intended leaving as soon as his business was settled here. Consequently the fire had made great progress before be- ing discovered, This was a fine home and cannot be replaced for any small amount. We understand it was part- ly covered by insurance.

Sonley, spent New Years alias Lindsay raised the curtain on local when they defeated the Port Perry intermediates by a score of 5-2. Al- though the Lindsay crew are a fast, smooth-working team and well de- served the victory, there was not as much difference between the two teams as the score would indicate. Port Perry was always dangerous and gave Lindsay plenty to think of right up to the last. As usual Lindsay trotted out a fast team with a sweet game of combina- tion. Their forwards worked well to- gether and their defence men, Rich and Coombs, made a combination that the Port team found hard to beat. The Port Perry team was brilliant on individual rushes but weak on com- bination. Art Brock was the star of the game from a Port Perry view- point. His rushes were a constant source of worry to the Lindsay team and when he shoots--look out, All the Lindsay team: played" well. "Grandpa". Coombs their ancient (but lively) defence man was continually in disfavour with the Port Perry crowd on account of his rough tactics, but nevertheless was a very effective player. Ice conditions were excellent and the game was fast through out. The puck was faced. off sharp at 8.30. -- During the first peried- Port Perry 'was defending. the northern citadel and Lindsay was keeping the puck out of the fish net in the south. Port Perry started out auspiciously. In about the second minute of play there was a scrimmage about. the Lindsay goal and in the melee Walters scooped the puck into the Lindsay nets for Port's first counter. About three minutes later Coombs got his when he was sandwiched neatly be- tween the Port Perry defence and tossed on the ice. This did not cure Mr. Coombs, however. A few minutes later Coombs drew his first penalty. While Lindsay were still playing with five men, Rich made a beautiful rush and scored the first tally for Lindsay. Near the end of the period Leight MacGregor drew a penalty for Port and Coombs got his second penalty for chopping Brock. The period ended with the score at one all The second period opened with general rushes on both sides. Art Brock and Abie Walters did some very period, After about seven inntes of the period were up Rich scored again for Pay on a hard shot close in. Lindsay used their combination very effectively .in this period and rushes were always Hngeroys. Final- ly Williams broke through the Port Seferse to beat "Rick" hane for the third Lindsay goal.

At the beginning it looked as if they were going to '"'do", but. later on we fear there was a case for the undertaker. In about the second minute of play Walters scored | the second and last goal for Port, after a sparkling display of hockey. 'Walter's stick handling was a feature all through the game. This was fol- lowed by fast rushes on both sides. Coombs put several hard shots on the Port goal and Walters nearly seored again, when he recovered the puck a the Port goal and carried it ow through the Lindsay team only to lose it. Clumsy work by the Port Perry players now gave Lindsay the puck with only to beat but Rickey came out of the net to make a won- derful save. Both teams now started last minute tactics, Port Perry play- ing four men up and Lindsay shooting the puck up the ice. The game. was delayed a few minutes when Piery of Lindsay was slightly hurt, Coombs scored the last Lindsay goal when he broke through the defence and beat Deshane. Although Port Perry was playing four men up most of this period they could not seem to get any where. The Lindsay team on the contrary continually threatened the unprotected Port goal and only good net work by Deshane kept them off the score sheet. Coombs of Lindsay, drew his third penalt, z in this period and MacGregor, Brock, and Piery, of Lindsay, were also successful in get- ting trips to the box.
