To have succeeded in becoming in- toxicated while serving a three month term for B.L.C.A. at the Huron county jail is the record set by John Campbell, Wingham machinist, who appeared be- fore Magistrate C. A. Reid last Wednes- day morning as chief crown witness in the case 01 William Lepard, Wingham hotel-keeper, alleged to have supplied Campbell with the intoxicant.

In the first place, he said he was not a va- grant, that he was able to pay his way. On account of an empty wine bottle be- ing picked up by Traffic Officer Whitty near the spot where he took charge of Summers, the question of his taste for liquor came up. Summers, whose permit showed that he had not purchased much “strong drink” from the Government stores during the past couple of months, gave the Magistrate to understand that he was finished, for, when asked as to what he wished to have done with the permit, he said: “Burn it; I’m through." The court accordingly seized it, and has sent the permit to the Liquor Con- trol Board, recommending cancellation. The charge of vagrancg was dismis- sed. He was given an opportunity to resume his calling as an umbrella mender.â€"Wall;erton Telescope.

At first glance when the calf comes to- ward you it appears as though you were looking into the face of an owl, with its square features and eyes in the side of its head. There is a big shag- gy lump of thick hair between the eyes, giving it the appearance of an owl. The most unusual fact about it is that its nostrils are underneath the jaws, causing difficulty in feeding. There is no roof at the front of its mouth, which makes feeding of solids an im- possibility.

Holstein helped matters along in this direction Tuesday night by de- faulting their postponed game to the High School. This gives the Students a fighting chance to get in among the first three. The Bachelors and the Stone Plant are now tied for first place with five wins and three loses each. The Benedicts and Holstein are tied for second with three wins and four losses each and the High School comes third with two wins and four losses. The Students, however, have two games yet to playâ€"a replay of a protested game with the Benedicts and a tie game with Holstein. Should they win both of these it will place them in third position, next to whichever team loses in the Bachelor-Stone Plant play- ofl. If, however, they should lose both these games it will necessitate a play off between Holstein and the Benedicts for third place. before the championship Melony-tamer Last Thursday afternoon the Bach£ elors journeyed to Hanover to play theCanadaweteamoithatplaoeand came home with the short end of a 14-8 score.

The Benedicts have not been able to get rid of the “jinx” yet. It still seems to ride on their shoulders. Last Friday night in a postponed game with the Bachelors they lost 13â€"6 although they outhit their opponents eight to six. They had a good half-dozen chances when a hit would have meant runs, and in one case with the bases loaded a good hit would have tied the score, but in almost every case the batters failed in the pinches. However. don't get the idea that the Bachelors didn’t play good ball. With the exception of three errors their fielding was perfect. Evidently they felt they had to redeem themselves for the exhibition of the night before in Hanover, when they fielded like a team of wooden men.

This is something badly needed 10-- cally. The fans have the habit of crowding right up on the base line, impeding the runners and interfering with the fielders in the event of the fly foul ball. Hardly a game pasess but someone is bit by a foul strike, but still they crowd up. A backstop behind the catcher would speed up the games considerably also.

A test message was sent out from New York. No chains of big centres were chosen, so situated that the mes- sage would travel twice around the world. It was sent by cable, telephone, or wireless just as facilities were avail- able in different places. Despite delays caused by copying it and re-transmit- ting, the first circuit of the globe was made in one hour and twenty-seven and a half minutes. It then started on its way again and completed the second lap in under the hour. The total time for twice round the world, including all stops and delays. was two hours and five minutes.
