Gordon, an oficer of the 93rd High- landers, removed to Portsmouth, England, where the subject of this note completed his education. He was united in marriage to Miss Har- riet Russell, who predeceased him in 1894. In 1843 he emigrated to Mont- real, where he remained for afew years, and then removed to what '.‘.’ -uu “BU“ 6"I-VVV Iv vv now-v was t on the Village of Sydenham.

In the evening of Victoria Day the people in our neighborhood, together with some visitors, met together and enjoyed a good game of base ball. Will Firth and W. J. Ritchie were captains and picked out two teams from those present. After an hour or more of interesting play the score stood 17 to 18 in favor of the lat- ter.
