Last Thursday’s game between the Bankers and Furniture Factory was a bummer, and if the factory had not invested in an air-ship at one stage of the game they world have given the dough counters a much stiffer aigu- ment. Though th 23 have lost the izrst two games of the series, the team is well balanced and only requires prac- tise to get the fine points of the game down to a science. Moorehead and Catton were the Factory’s battery, while the Bankers’ end of the argu- ment was supermtenaea oy w one anu \Vilson.

Though we referred last week to the apparent imm-ovemen t of Mr. Camp- bell Milligan, we regret to chronicle his death on Sunday last, after a somewhat prolonged illness from what was thought to be stomach trouble, but is now believed to be of a tubercu- lar nature. He wasa. young man of' about twenty~four years of age, very vuiet and inoffensive always. and ex- tremely industrious while he was in good health. He was a son of the late Thomas Milligan, who died five or six years ago. His mother is also dead, but he leaves to mourn his departure one brother. Thomas, near the old home. and three sisters, Mrs. Thos. F. i Mighton, Jean and Bessie. He had !just recently returned from the hos- l pital at Stratford, where he underwent vtreatment, to no effect.
