Morrison was the auction- '| eer and the bidding was lively. Three or four parties were anxious to obtain the grounds for pasture end: the foot- ball and baseball teanis were as deter- whived to have the grounds for recreat- ion purposes, The contest at last nar- rowed down to Mr. Smith, liverythan aud T. G. Ballantyne, Tepreseuting the teat. "Wheu the bidding reached $31, Mr. Smith quit' and the boys got the grounds for the highest tent ever"pald for them. Jn fact itis about twice as mech #8 'the grounds are worth, but 'as Mr. Smith seemed determined that At- wood should not have a recreation ; that he should not have them for 'past- uring cows, Football Match, A team of footballers from Listowel, 'representing the Maitland Stars of that town, played a game on the park here on Monday night. A slight shower made the grounds slippery and the ball bard to handle, nevertheless both teams at times played good football. Referee D. U. Anderson blew the whistle at 7.10 'Pp. ©. and for some time both teams shade the better of the argument, un- till about 10 minutes of half time when Earl Switzer taking a pass from right wing, slammed a bot one between the posts. Tha Listowel forwards lost sey= eral good chances to 'score. In fact that is their weakness, They have an excellent defeuce and play a neat com. bination but lack aggressiveness when 'hear the goal, and are very poor shots, On changing ends the locals had all the best of the game, and time and again worked the ball right into the goal, ouly to make a poor shot. Both goal- keepers did good work, in fact Wm. Crooks in goal for Atwood, surprised every body by the cool manner in which he kicked 'and fisted out every- thing that came his way. The locals played-a very fair game seeing that it is their first match of the season. With more practice they shoald devel opintoa strongteam.

Is it not about time that our citizens were thinking seriously about fittingly celebrating the Dominion's natioral holiday? In past years Atwood' has held some fairly succesful ¢elebrations, but even the best of them were none too good. Why Wet secure some good attraction, such as the #8th Highland- er Band, or the 18th Battalion Band of Hamilton. Give the people the worth of their money and fthe extra expense will be easily met. Letus lanneh ont and'get out of the old ruts .and let the people see that Atwood is an up-to-date progressive, little town whose citizens are willing todo alliu their power to advance its interests. A properly con- ducted celepration is a splendid ad. foratown. Let us have & torple of lively baseball and football matches be- tween two good outside teams and also between two local teams. Th 2se will arouse great interest. In order to facilitate matters a. meeting will be held in Mitchell's hall next Monday evening at 8 o'clock. et there be a rousing meeting, ; A Useful School. the Point Anx Trembles School, near Montreal, occupied the DVresbyterian pulpit last Sabbath morning and pafternoon.
