DURHAM CHRONICLE Local option in Owen Sound was ushered in last week with very little ceremony. The hotel men closed their bars as usual on the last day of April and next morning the bars were not accessible. According to reports the change was made with good grace and there was no whining on the part of the hotel keepers who wisely submit- ted to the inevitable. How much bet- ter such conduct appears than that petulant spirit of shutting out all ac- commodation to the travelling public who have been patrons for years of the public houses in the line of their travels. No man can live unto him- self and it would be well for all to rea- lize our utter dependence on one another. We boast sometimes of our democratic institutions and while the masses are to rule the classes should be willing to submit to the will of the ' majority. No one class in the com- munity has a right to supreme auth- 1 ority more than any single individual 11 has a right to cram his views down the 9 throats of the remainder of the popu-‘1 lace. So far as we have yet learned of 1 the state of things in Owen Sound we '2 have reason to respect the hotel men! for their submission to the new order‘ of things. Now that Owen Sound hasl1 a “dry" law the opponents will1 strengthen their cause by staying strictly with it and when the license system comes in again, if it does. the licensed victuallers will have learned the value of abiding by the law. and the glaring violationg of by gone years will grow less and less until the long-‘ standing odium against a legalized busines will no longer exist. The 1 hotel keepers themselves, and the loose and reckless way in which the licensed laws have been observed by very many of them is, in our opinion, the strong- ets factor in promoting the present temperance sentiment. We have al- ways favored temperance, but we have never been a temperance crank. We hope the change in Owen Sound will be for the best.

They or- ;ganized an ante-treating society last Tweet, and had about fifty members i enrolled. It was promoted chiefly by 9 Mr. J ames, organist in Trinity Church, iRev. Rural Dean Ridley and several . other prominent citizens. The pledge reads as follows :--“I give my word of , honor not to give any” intoxicating ' drink for. nor receive a treat from any man over a public bar in the town of Galt, and as far as possible to spread the influence of the society in other . towns." The idea is good enough, but : it seems that the pledgeis a little loose ' in its wording and will soon need to be amended. good or better building material as bricks and they certainly look neater. If they are guaranteed to stand the weather they ought to come into gen. eral use right away. It ought to heip solve the problem of cheaper houses. These bricks are made without burning but are steamed at' high pressure for ten hours. They are made one day and after being steamed over night can he used by the bricklayer next day. There was great rejoicing in Hamil- ton, in Ontario, in Canada, in England. in fact everywhere the British Jack reigns when it was known that \Vil- liam Sherring. of the Ambitious City. had captured first prize in the most coveted of events. the "Marathon” race at Athens.

Fully 150,000 people saw the start; in the Stadium alone it is estimated there were 70.000. Sher-ring is a native of Hamilton, 29 i i years of age, 5 feet 7 inches tall. and ‘weighs 114 pounds in condition. He! Q has been running since 1897 when he i lmade his debut at Bartonville Fair, {finishing fourth. Though he ran on I. several occasions the time he sprang into prominence was in the "Round- the-Bay” race in 1897. when he finished third in a big field. In the Herald : race. 1898. he finished fourth. One of ’ his greatest races was the Herald race ' of 1899. winning in 1 hour 53.30. estab- lishing a new record. The Boston Marathon race in 1900 saw Sherring in the lead for 18 miles, when he fell. semi-conscious. allowing five men to pass him, and finished second to Caf- ' fery at that. He was again defeated '5 by Caflery that same year, the former ‘ making a record 1, 51, 52. D l V The excitement when winner came over the brow of the bill was tremen- dous, and when the mud-bespattered first runner crossed the divide, he bore not the beloved emblem of Greece across his breast. the one the multitude wished tosee, but the Maple Leaf of Canada. Showered with bouquets, and heartily cheered by a disappointed though appreciative crowd, the man from Hamilton ended his long run in front of King George and Queen Olga, who were loud in their expressions of admiration. In Milton in the same year Sherring established a new Canadian record for ten miles of 57 min. 2) sec. and in Gait in the same season he won the 10 mile race in 58.05. Sherring won the Herald Cup race again in 1902 which was practically his last race though he went to St. Louis to run at the World’s Fair, but met with an accident. He has been em- SHERRING THE WINNER. Indications are for a. dry summer L110 11 Optiun came in force lasu Tues 1 day The Mayor of Hamilton, the Canad-l ian Club, St. Patrick’s Club. and others 1 have sent cables of congratulations to Sherring and his friends cabled him $100 to enable him to come home via England instead of direct. He is to get a royal reception in Hamilton on his return in a couple of weeks and the public are anxious that he shall have a purse when he arrives. The Canadian Athletic Associations throughout the Dominion are endeavoring to establish an endless chain amongst'the clubs of so much per member and have it pre- sented to the hero of the hour. and it is to be hoped their efforts will meet with success. Last week’s heavy rain washed away a. lot of nhxiety from farmers’ minds about. fall «hear. going to be a failure as‘ it now gives promise of be- ing an run-rage cmp. A resolution was passed at the an- ' { nusl meeting of the Church to pay the section for what wood they use for church meetings.

Trimble met with a heavy loss last week by getting one of his bus horses drowned in the mill dam. Hitched to the single dray the animal was left standing for a few minutes at the planing mill and in the absence of the driver evidently went to the pond to drink The bank being very steep the animal doubtless lost his footing and the vehicle forced it to the bottom. Mr. Tablott of the back line lost a valu able team in the same manner and same place a few years ago. A heavy storm of wind and rain passed over this place on Wednesday of last week N o damage was done in the village. but We learn that a log barn belonging to Mr. M. Fergu- son, near Ceylon. was blown down. The loss was not great. Mr. W A. Armstrong lost a. fine year old colt last. week by getting its leg broken near the knee. Mr. T.
