The crossing at the foot of Garafraxa street hill. as shown on the plan will be a very dangerous place especially for teams coming down from upper town.

Lacrosse in Durham has started out well this season. \Vith a good line-up and good prospects for having a win- ning bunch the town people are being wakened up and once more the in- terest of bygone years is slowly reviv- ing. The boys are devoting them- selves to the game. and practise is on every night. So far they show good form and though the weather has not been fit to get right down to business, from their performance in heavy ap- parel we do not believe there is a weak man in the the team. Lacrosse must certainly boom this summer and from' present indications, we have as good ai line-up as most amateur teams can‘ boastof. Now for the opening of the $885 on. 1 The delegates for Intermediate Dis- trict No. 4, met in M t. Forest on Fri- day evening last to arrange the la- crosse schedule for the coming season. Convener Kearns of Arthur called the meeting for 8 o’clock in the Queen’s and at that hour representatives from Arthur, Durham and Mt. Forest drafted the following playing dates: Arthur at Durham, June 8th. Mt. Forest at Arthur, June 2lst. . Durham at Mt. Forest, June 29th. Arthur at Mt. Forest, July 20th. Mt. Forest at Durham, July 27th. Durham at Arthur, August 2nd. Grand Valley, who was placed in this district by the O. L. A. was not represented, and the schedule was made up independent of them, it being learned they had dropped out. The Lacrosse boys have decided to hold a big demonstration here on Vic- toria Day, May 24th. The scene Opens at 11 a. m. by a huge Calithumpian Parade.
