U I Seeds The Misses Sttlker the two little Highland girls from Acton. gave some very pretty exhibitions of Sout- tiah dancing and carried off the chief prizes as may be seen by the liSt of winners.

They also ap peered at the Concert at night. but their quota was rather a gross mix- ture to sandwich in with the excel- lent seleCtions furnished by the other performers. The Sons of Scotland held their Annual Demonstration here on Mon- day and like all its predecessors it passes into history as a success, both at regards the games and the financial returns. The morning was rather hazy. but all who had taken nate oi the weather in the pat pre- dicted a fine day after the sun broke through the mists. So it was, and if the Society had the matter in their own bands they couldn’t have ord ered anything better. Up to noon the crowd didn’t seem to be very encouraging. but shortly atter midday a constant Stream of vehicles was seeing coming from all directions. About two o'clock the visitors made their way to the Agricultiral Grounds. and the nat- ural grand stand was soon lined with sight sears. The Royal Canadian Dragoons were one of the chief advertised at- tractions, and an exhibition of hur- dle jumping formed one of the onen- ins: aets. Eight horses and their ridrs conscituted the portion of the Dragoons sent here. and even this small number, dressed in full uni- form and carrying the Uuio-- Jacks, genre a. decidedly military appear- ance to the day’s program. Besides the handle jumping the sword exer- cises and wrestling coutescs were delightfully admired by ail present, and deep interest w as taken through out in the military exhibitions. Ideal weather, good games and good music. A Pipe Band consisting ot eight or nine men) oers had been brought here from Lsudon, and at intervals dur- ing the day and at the concert in the evening. every lover of Scottish National .uusic was delighted with the “skit-1” of the pipes.

Those who heard him Mon- day night last have a fuller concep- tion than ever of his vocal abilities. " Scots \Vha Hae” is considered one of the most patriotic pieces ever writ ten, and we feel that no person could take out of it the sentiment in any way better than Mr. Jarvis did in his yocal rendering. Every number he gave was in good taste and so well rendered that he was forced to re- SpODd to every number by a highly appreciative audience. Mr. J. H. Cameron has been heard here before and Durhamites who hear him once are always pleased to hear him again. He is one of the most gentlemanly entertainers on the road and though he indulges in what might be looked upon as a litue non- Sense he never descends to anything low or vulgar. We have known Mr. Cameron as an entertainer for nearly twenty years and have always found him a gentleman ofi the stage or on it. He recxtes some Very heavy selections and sing some very path- etic songs in what may be weal re. garded as of high order. His selec- tions at the rink concert were some of the lighter ones in his extensive reportoire, but they sandwihhed in well with more classical selections of other the entertainers. Miss Ferguson, of Toronto, ap- peared for the first time in Durham. and gave an excdient account of her- self From her first entrance on the platform she captured the house and like the others she was encored every number. There’s one thing in her iavor, she doesn’t seem to know it all nor does she give any idea of be- ing presumptous. She has a grace- ful appearance and is quite modest, qualifications that count well in a muswal or literary artist. Mr. Burns, asociety organizer, was present on the platform and deliver. ed a brief address on the aims and objects of the society. The little dancing girls from Acton were called on and gracefully danced a. dance that ’aint pronounced the way it’s Spelled, and might be pro nounced anything for anght we know as we can’t attempt the spelling. We underazwd the treasury oe considerably bulged on: b incredse in their proceeds. The pipers gave a. couple of selec- tions that gave much evidence of ap- preciation.

Forest’s lacrosse enthusiasts assembl- ed on the hospital grounds there and saw the team they came to root for run in the gutter to the tune of nine to one, The Lornes weren’t in it at any stage of the game, except, possib- ly, the first quarter, when their scor- ing the first goal in ten minutes raised a mighty bowl from the Mt. Forest side of the fence. This was their death shriek, for the homers scored no more. In five minutes more, \V. Lavelle landed an evener, and the quarter ended one all. The second quarter started with a rush. Durham getting the ball. Com- bination play, and quick passing on the home field’s part enabled Briggs to score in one minute. Though the Durhzuns had their opponents out- classed and were continually shooting at the Mt. Forest nets, it took 181; minutes to tally another, \V. Lavelle doing the trick. At half tune it stood The last half saw Durham score four goals more, inside home tallying one in 9;. minute. Gov-cm in 5 minutes, and Lawlor in 2 and 6 minutes. The final score stood 9â€"1 in favor of Dur- hum. J. M. Kearns of Arthur was referee and held the teams in hand well, and we must say he had an easy time, as no really rough work was done, though the Lornes have one or two men who are not angels by any means. Of course there’s a certain amount of kicking, as there must be. but we are of the opinion that Kearns was all light and dealt out his penalties with fairness to both contestants. \Vhether Mt. Forest will think so or not, we can’t say. but its not likely they will, They’ll have to patch the defeat 01f on somebody and Kearns will do as well as anyone else. As to the Durham team they weren’t to blame. Oh! no, not by a jugful. The third round was where the Lornes went to pieces. Theobald, at point, was playing the position well, and is probably the strongest man on the Mt. Forest defense. \Vitli a. sore knee, he was forced to leave the field. And Mt. Forest missed him too. In this quarter, Lavelle, on inside home tallied one in 8 minutes, and (Iowan repeated the atfliction in 0 minutes lLlUI'e. Every man on the. Durham team played a good game, and are capable of taking charge of a much stronger aggregation than they were up against on Friday. The Lornes are fairly good, even at that, and are not to be overlooked by any means. They play a rather decent game, but they can’t under any circumstances be classed with the aggregation Durham is put- ting on this season.

Owen Sound football team lost to Mildmay in Hanover and the papers are now talking about Hanover phys icians. since there is no loophole. through which to criticise the Mild may footballers. The following. tak- en from the Hanover Post, explains itself: .“In the first ten minutes of play Alex. Hopper the fast full back of the Ensigns was deliber- ately kicked in the leg by one of the Mildmay men, after he had Stopped the ball, anu his leg fractured. The fracture was re- duced by Dr Murray, medical assistance in Hanover being “few and far between.” The above is taken from the Owen Sound Advertiser’s report of the recent Mildmayâ€"Owen Sound game here. Owen Sound does not enjoy the best sporting 'reputation in the world, and such a dirty and untruth- ful squib as the above will not help to improve it. We are not receiving a bonus from Mildmay for upholding their honor, but British fair play de« mands that the above should be con- tradicted. Anyone on the field was aware that Mr. Hopper’s misfortune was an accident, a lamentable one it is true, but an accident pure and simple. \Ve feel sure that Mr. Hop- per will resent the position he is placed in by the Advertiser. We were under the impression. too, that the injured player’s wound was dressed by a Hanover physicianâ€"the Advevtiser’s uncornplimentary refer- ence to the contrary If we are mis taken we will be pleased to acknow ledge it. Hanover is not quite a backwoods town, and it is strange that a public journal representing a town of Owen Sound’s size and im- portance bbuuld try to be so small 0r.
