I DURHAM CH RN ICLE. WHAT about 9. Civic holiday for the town of Durham. and ehould one be proclaimed how would be the best way to spend it? A friend of the Fire Brigade eugzeete a picnic for that deserving institution. in order that their treasury may be inflated. For a money getter awell patronized picnic at home would be the beat thing. Should an excursion be do. cided on, a large portion of the lunde will be eaten up by the Railway Co. and the and desired will nothe ac- complished. A better plan. it work. able, would be to have no Civic holi-i day and let each person contribute voluntarily a percentage of hie day’s wages. It is quite in order to have thie matter thoroughly diacueeed. but whatever plan he adopted let it be eonething eatiefactory to the Bri- gade who have certainly aclailn on the public. and are node“ in making their demand... In our opinion ;_ Antibody would he better at to at- if“ ' to hie work and nahethe volu- :3“ mr does it require two men to do the shoe repairing at Peel’s? Be- cause It s done neateet, best and while you wait.

Local News Items WE referred lately to the unsatis- factory healing of Fred Benton’s arm which was broken on Victoria Day while engaged in a game of football. He was in Stratford last week and had an examination of the bones made under the X-rays. The photo showed the bones to be somewhat out of place, and in consequence of this a readjustment of the arm was made on Monday last, and it is now hoped that a speedy recovery will follow. The patient is quite cheerful under the very trying circumstances. Tim foundation for House No. 2, being built by Mr. McCrscken is now ready for the superstructure.

WE learn from the Manitoba Free Press, of Winnipeg. that “Miss Stella Smith, (laughter of Mr. J E. Smith, of Brandon. and gram‘l-n..ughter of Mr. and Mrs. J. M. Hunter, has been distinguishing herself at the recent University Matriculation examina- tion, having taken two out of the four scholarships. One for Latin and Mathematics. 860, and the other for French and German, 830. The recipient of the above mentioned honors is indebted to our school here for her early training, and as she is not yet over fifteen or sixteen years of age, the magnificent standing is evidence of extraordinary mental ability and studious application. We certainly congratulate her on her success. IN a friendly game of cricket at Durham on Friday, the home team defeated the Durhamites by a score of 124 to 49. The match was more keenly contested than the score would indicate. and both teams dished by a good exhibition of the good old Eng- lish game. Wiarton went to the bat first and succeeded in piling up 78 runs to their credit, while in the second innings they tallied 46, mak- ing a total of 124 runs. The Dur- hamites were all out in the first in- nings at '27, while in the second they only succeeded in securing ‘22. The howling of Dr. Hough, the boys say, was something phenomenal, taking 9 wickets in the first and 7 in the sec- ond. Among those whose runs total two figures were: P. Wright, 22; Dr. Hough, l3; and S. J. Cameron, 39. The following players represented Wiarton in the match : S. J. Cameron. R. C. Henderson. Gordon Hunter, David Wright, J. Parker, Dr. Bough. A. W. Bainee, J. L. Siemon. D. Dine- more and P. Kelsey, the last two 61- ling up vacancies on the home team. The Wiarton boys are loud in their praise. for the courteous and whole- hearted hospitality received at the hands of the Durham cricket players, who were antiring in their eflorts to give the Visitors a good time.
