The horseshoe pitching was thor- oughly enjoyed. Fourteen teams en- tered, and the winners were: First place, which - secured the Bentley Trophy and first prize, went to Gren- ville and West, of Orono; the Second prize, to McLaughlin Bros., Burketon, and the third prize to Ames and Mec- Laughlin, of Bowmanville. All the games were well played, and the final struggle was marked by a series of ringers and a very close score right through the 50 point game. Roy Me- Laughlin, the 10 year old lad who was partner to Mr. Ames is a wonderful player for his age, making more ringers than any other player. 'Next week we expect to be able to publish the list of prize winners. The concert in the Town Hall at night was of good quality.
