A very pleasant evening’s enter- tainment was presented by the Han- over Players at the Town Hall here on Monday night of this week. The hall was very poorly filled. It is hard to say whether this was owing to lack of advertising or lack of in- terest; but the fact remains that a very good show received very poor snmiort: _ leI ' ' ml- ' 3.- ‘. “VIVIT’V- u.â€" " ‘he title was “This Is The Life," and it depicted the troubles of a young bachelor who was not to re- Ceive a fortune from a deceased rich aunt‘s estate until he was mar- ried. He had deceived the executor, but at last the executor comes alOng and demands evidence. The trou- bles ot‘ the heir then begin. The best actor on the stage was Mr. Jack Noble who took the part of .Jorkins .lobson. the gardener. He was a real comic and kept the aud- ience convulsed. It is not often that one sees his equal in amateur the- atricals. The part. of Dan Gillespie, the heir, was taken by :Mr. Herman Denef. It was one of 'the poorest presentations of the lot. He had a hard part to depict, but was too selfâ€" conscious and stilted in his speak- ling. The young lady, Miss Louise \\ eidendor , who had the part of his temporary wife, overplayed it a bit. The maid, Mrs. Fred Sutton, was alâ€" so good, although her voice was a little weak. The executor, Deason Smith. taken by Mr. William Lovell, was a shrewd fellow who sang a couple of humorous songs very well. Mr. Lovell interpreted his part very well. But, the outstanding part of the whole skit was the acting or Mr. Jack Noble. He understands humor. and gets the audience with him from the start. He is too good to be an amateur. _ We regret to learn that Mrs. Jennie Trengove. for years a weekly reader of The Chronicle, has been ill the past few months from rheumatism and confined to her home in Toronto.

This debate was the in- ter-township debate between .Glen- elg and Artemesia. 7mm affirmative end was taken by Miss M. Muir and Mr. F. Oliver, the qeggtjxje by Messrs. A. McDonald and AI‘ "_-_ MAAI-AM (In llUOI-v C. Robinson. All four speakers de- serve a great deal of credit for the manner in which they presented their arguments.

Mr. Oliver is, we un- derstand, a nephew of the leader of the Government in British Columbia. Like his distinguished relative, he is well-versed in the forensic art.

They also pointed out the machinery used on the farm, as an example of the benefit tobe derived from machinery._ _ . The school was crowded to the doors, and in addition to the debate, a very pleasant. musical program was put on by the members of the club. The Onward club orchestra played throughout the evening, and their music was interspersed with songs and dances, the Highland Fling finding several very worthy expon- ents, who stepped it in true Gaelic fashion. ‘ v--â€"vâ€" We understand that the final de- bate for the championship of South Grey is to he held during the coming summer in Markdale between Nor- manby and Artemesia.

They tied the game on Tuesday with Listowel. 3 all; but the one goal lead that Listowel.gained on home ice put. them in the lead on the round. The game was fast. and was marked by close checking on the part of both teams. The local lads are nearly all youngsters with little hockey experience, and very much lighter than their opponents. Kemp and Rockerâ€"Listowel‘s defenseâ€" are both big men and do not hesi-_ into to use the bodx. Schulz and Elvidge found themsehes checked hand when they Med a lone 11181), and the lads lacked combination and finish which a couple more years playing will develop. The game was witnessed by one of the biggest crowds that has ever witnessed a game in the rink here, and that they all enthusiastic sup- porters of their team was shown by the prolonged cheering that followed every goal scored by the home team, and the enthusiastic encouragement which each Durham player re- ceived. The tieing goal was a fluke. It was a fairly long shot from left wing which McDonald evidently thought Mac. Saunders was going to stop with his knee. lt sneaked quietly past Mac, and drifted into the net; an easy one compared with a lot that McDonald had stepped during the rest of the game. How- ever, it is generally conceded that the better team won. A Schutz and Vollett scored the first two goals in the first ten minutes of the first period on lone rushes. Both youngsters went right through the big Listowel defense; and every- body thought there would be. nothing to it. Then Creighton scored for Listowel from a face-off. and Lis- towel later tied the score 2 all at the end of the. first period. The second stanza was hammer-and tongs hockey. both teams trying hard to score. At times Listowel had the youngsters backed right up in their own corner scrapping to make a break. McDonald did yeoman ser- vice in the nets during this period. Listowel has a bunch of shamslmot- ers, and they peppered Ernie from every angle. Durham lacked exper- ience and weight to carry the puck down through the Listmvel defense, but they back-checked like fiends. and time after time lost the puck at the Listowel defense and recovered it before the Listowel player could get past centre ice. They lacked the finish around their opponent’s nets that means goals. Instead of tak- , ing snap-shots at the twine from outside the defense, they tried to bore in. The second period ended » without a goal being scored for I either side. The beginning of the last frame found the visitors hang- ing back. Evidently they were going to be satisfied with their one-goal lead and kill time. But Mac. Saun- ders spoiled their plans when he captured the puck. dashed up right wing and scored on a high shot from the boards. The game pepped up after that. Durham working hard to score another goal, Listowel digging in their toes for another. Schutz went off for three minutes. and Lis- towel got in a flukey goal from their right wing with about. ten minutes r to go. Listowel’s third goal seemed to take the starch from the locals, l and they were not very dangerous after that. although they made sev- r eral rushes. v.“ It would be hard to say that any one of the Durham players was better than his teamâ€"mates. They all worked hard and played the best they knew how from gong to gong. Perhaps MoGirr was a little the best.
