If there could be any criticism it might be that there was too much ball and on towards evening it was a bit monoton- ous. but a tournament is a tournament, and there is no other way of settling it without playing the games. It was at first intended the contest would be run on the elimination plan, and while this was adhered to for a time it was seen that if some of the los- mg teams did not drOp out it would mke. all night to come to a decision. As :‘ne Duflield-Saunders-Ramage Amuse- ment Corporation had not considered this little thing soon enough to have the lot wired up for night ball, earlier mzentions were discarded, so to speak, and the finals hastened on. Even here, Singhampton and Berkeley were able to play only two innings, the score be- ixvxgr 2}: 6 '10:? Singhanzpion when dark- ness fell. As a result the prize money was divided fifty-fifty. There was all kinds of ball during the afternoon. Some of it was good, some better and some worse, but the crowd and the players had a good time, and that is the chief end of sports. In some of the games there was just sufficient tension to make it interesting, and in at least one instance trouble seemed to be in the offing. but happily remain- ed under cover. In the first round, what may seem a discrepancy occprred, owing to the late arrival of the Berkeley team. The schedule had been drawn, and Elm- wood given a bye. Play was on for some time before the Berkeleyites put in an appearance. and they, too, were given a bye.

Held Dance at Night While the tournament proved mostl popular. the real event of the day, or night. was the big street dance. Lamb- rrm street from the main corner to the bridoe had been closed. and from 9' q .m‘mck onward to nearly 2 in the morn- mg there was continuous round and square dancing to the best of music .~um)lled by the mm and Haw Bms. orchestras. There was a record crowd on hand and there were few dull moments. It is estimated there were nearly three thousand dancers and spectators, and as a result of the day’s gar-«*zgramme the Hockey-Softball As- sociation. under whose auspices the ewnt was held. will clear considerably mer two hundred dollars. Monday morning about 9 o’clock a' motor car driven and owned by a Mr. Goldie of Detroit. Mich.. came to grief at the top of Corktown hill south of; town. when it left the road and crashed into a telephone pole, the pole being broken by the impact. The car was somewhat. though not badly damaged. and Mrs. Goldie was confined to the local hospital for a day or so sufler- ing from bruises and shock though not seriously injured. Mr. and Mrs. Goldie had just returned from the week-end Owen Sound-Manitoulin trip that morning and were motoring back to Detroit when the accident occurred. HAD MINOR ACCIDENT Hockey FORMER MEMBER Knox Church Choir Had Pleasant Time Last Friday Night at Wiener Roast. On Friday evening the members of Knox United church choir and their friends gathered together on the banks at the Saugeen on the 2nd concession of Glenelg and spent a jelly evening. The guest of honor was Miss JessieE. Bell, formerly a member of the choir, but now a member of the choir of Centennial United Church, Toronto. During the evening an address of ap- preciation of past services was read to Miss Bell by Miss Winnie Blyth and the presentation of a finger ring was made by Mrs. Bryson Morlock. Miss Bell expressed her surprise and thank- fulness in a few words. Several mem- bers made short speeches. The evening was spent in games, singing and social intercourse and all enjoyed the roasted swieners as well as the variety of dainties served for lunch. The following is the address: ! Dear Jessie,--In this gathening of the choir of Knox United church of Dur- ham at which we are apparently all re- joicing, there is a trend of sorrow in- termingled with our merry making. At this juncture we regret to have to recall that the purpose of this wiener roast is not entirely for entertainment but to bid farewell to one of our cherished members. Our regret is in losing your faithful services and congenial person- ality which always pervaded our func- tions in community and church. Dr. C. A. Baragar, superintendent of the Brandon, (Manitoba) Mental Hospital, who has resigned from that position to take over the post of Provincial PsyChiatrist for the province of Alberta. beg of you to accept this ring as a small token of our appreciation, and wish for your success and happiness in all your future enterprises.

Approximately" three months after he started to clean cut the cellar from the debris of last fall’s fire, the Harding building is completed and OC- cupied.

Some three months ago when we is- sued our unofficial prospectus of what the new building was to be, Mr. Hard- ing thought we had set a rather high mark for him to aim at, but now that it is about completed he has lived up to all expectations and registered 100 per cent. He has a fine building and has proven himself a public spirited citizen in replacing what at one time was thought to be an eyesore with one of the most modern buildings. Besides his store, Mr. Harding _has erected his dwelling overhead and when this is ready for occupancy in anather couple of weeks he will have a self- contained premises of which he may well be proud. Both store and residence are a credit to himself and the town. Mr. Harding intends holding an official re-opening in the near future but in the meantime is ready for business in his new stand.

This section of the province was eminently {better off than other sections where crops were dried out, and then when the deluge did come, there were severe storms in many sections that finished, what the dry season had begun.

WARRANT ISSUED FOR TRUCK DRIVER Hamiltén Man to Be Apprehended and Brought to Trix! for jail-action of The trial of the truck driver parked on the side of the road near Barber's Corners two weeks ago, it being alleged that his failure to have his marker lights burning was the cause of the wrecking of E. A. Rowe’s car and in- jury to Mr. and Mrs. Rowe, was called for a week ago last Saturday but. he did not show up. Investigation showed there was some discrepancy in the name and the summons to appear had not been served by the Hamilton au- thorities. Another summons was issued and this time there was no mistake that it had not been served, but notwith- standing this the defendant iailed to put in an appearance when his case was called here last Saturday morning. .As a result Magistrate Laidlaw has issued a warrant and Constable Scott will go to Hamilton to arrest his man and bring him here for trial. The date of the trial is not known yet.
