This arrafigement practically settled the question, the Lietowel boys-having vo show against Stratford on the latter's large ice. The game cume off Wedueaday night, and the score was 16-4, leaving Strat- ford juniors champions of the district. Resicsep His Seat.-- Mr, Chas. Anderaou has resigned bis seat at the eyes board. As he will probably fier himself for re-election, the town will not likely be deprived of his valu- able services, Mr Anderson bas been looked upyn as vue of the best Conn- cilmen who have sat at the board in recent years, and the very large yote which he received at the last election shows that the ratepayers have all con- fidenco in him and wish to see him re- tuin his position. The attempt which has been made in av underband way to deprive him of bis seat, and the town of his services, will be "resented at the first opportunity. His return by ac- clamation is almost a certainty.

The electrical effects: had also to be abandoned for lack of electrical power. The views and colored lights under the circum- stances were passable. The Company, however, sustained its goud report in rendering the sacred opera' which forms the best feature of the entertain- ment. The singiug of the Catbedral choir and Holy City quartette was excellent; the sacred solos sung by lady and gentlemen membera of the com- pany were also highly appreciated.
