In another column we publish a let- ter attacking the Flesherton Advance for an editm'ial which appeared in a recent issue under the heading of the "Grand Trunk Pacific.” \Ve remem- ber glancing over the article at the time. but it did not strike. us with such force as it did the writer of the letter in question. That Mr. Thurston may have said things that were harsh will. perhaps. he admitted. even by his own friends, but the. five hours’ address by Hon. )1 r. 31air, as reported in the Hansard, must also he admitted as evidence. of the lack of unity with re- gard to the necessity of the new pro- posed Transcontinental highway. \Ve admit frankly that much of the. news- paper vaporings are either inspired by prejudice. or horn of ignorance, but we have a grea deal of respect for the honesty and honor of many local journalists in (-xln'essing exactly What and how they feel on some of the big subjects in which the expenditure of millions of money are involved. Sir \ ’ilfrid Laurier was evidently determ- ined to push the scheme through. de- spite the antagonism of the whole Conservative. Opposition. as Well as the opposing portion of the Liberal ranks. “'ithont taking sides in this issue, we think a careful perusal of Mr. Blair‘s speech, as reported in the. Hansard. not the Globe. nor the Mail, nor any of the party papers, will con- vince our correspondent that Mr. Blair was sincere in his (lenunciation of the Government policy of hasty action and in his desire to reasonable post- ponement for a more rational action. The honest opinion. even of a political antagonist. is deserving of considera- tion, but malicious epithets will never make. the bolus more palatable. Mr. Blair said in his speech criticis- ing the. project: “ I maintain that in respect of this duplication of the Inter- colonial Railway by the extension from Quebec to Mom-ton. there is no neces- sity. there is no reason, there is no justification. there is no object. good, bad or indifferent, to be attained. It is absolutely useless. It is a total and absolute waste of the public money. t is not only a destruction of Intercol- onial Railway. but it is asheer. un- justable squandering of the public money." W'e have. expended upon the railway $70,000.000 and now the Gov- ernment proposes to spend $15,0(X),OOO more in order to make our expenditure upon the Intercolonial Railway less valuable and iess effective in order to injure materially the people who liye along the line. The pr0posa1 is abso- lately unjustable, and the people of the country will not stand it. Not all the influence? which the Grand Trunk Railway can bring to bear on the electorate will justify the outrage pro posed to be perpetrated.” MacFARLANM Go. DURHAM CHRONICLE Durham, Sept. 10, 1903.

The ”\Vellingtons started to play dirty in the third quarter and the crowd helped them on. But dirty work didn’t win this time for them. Nothing like having a stand in with a barber Shop in Owen Sound where you can run toâ€"to await the arrival of the police and be escorted to the hotel in safety. Ask Davey Davidson and Tommy Jordan? They know. Keep a-drilling but say nothing is Dug. Munro’s and Charlie Lavelle’s plan in Owen Sound. But drill hard and reach your hotel. They get bad when they want, to mob the referee who does his work on the square. No scare to Geo. Allenâ€"too long in the business. The Champion Durham Lacrosse team went to Owen Sound on Friday to play the Wellington lacrosse team of that town who are champions of” District No. 1. With two goals to ’their credit on their ”own grounds the Durham boys expected a hard game and were not disappointed. Play was started at 3 o’clock sharp, and in the first quarter Owen Sound) had scored 2 and Durham 2. At, half time the game stood Oweni Sound 5, Durham 2, and at the finish the boys in blue and white had added ! three more making the score a tieâ€" 5 all. This gave Durham the cham- | pionship of the second round in the’ semi-finals and champions of Districts 1 1, 2 and 3. The game started with a rush and i some excellent lacrosse was played} up to half time, after that Owen: Sound started to butcher, and hadi not Mr. Geo. Allen, the very ef-: ficient referee from Mount Forestf used his authority. doubtless three., quarters or all of our team would? have been forced to occupy a cot ini the hospital. As it was, a number of i our players received injuries and! marks which they will carry to the, grave. Not satisfied with their dirt; on the field with their sticks, the' rowdy element, and we are sorry to’ say a number of the players startedi in to exercise their puglistic abilities, ; their cowardice being shown ong striking the smallest member of the2 Durham team, little Jimmy Lavelle, : who received several blows on the: face from three men, two of whom5 are players on the Wellington la-i crosse team. We are not prepared: to say whether that is the sporting element of Owen Sound or not, buti a very sorry picture they made run- ning in on the field in a mob sur-' rounding our players one at a time, using language that wasn’t fit for: the lowest dives in the scums of New York City. A number of our players, alongf with the officials who accompanied: them, received kicks and knocks on the way out from the grounds, some were forced to run for protection un- . til a policeman arrived and saw them safely to their hotel. \Ve have only this to say of such rowdyism on the ’ part of those concerned in Owen: Sound, that. the fair name of our; national game is being lowered by: such tactics, and the Canadian La-i crosse Association should, and, we believe will, censure the Owen Sound club and refuse to issue a certificate: to any player of that burg. Our boys were forced to leave Owen Sound immediately after they had their supner, and on their ar- rival were met at the outskirts of the town by single rigs, crrryalls and drays. loaded down with young men and women, the conveyances being decked out with flags and torches. Bonfires were going all along the line. On arriving at the Middaugh House a supper was in readiness, and the team and about thirty more sat down to a bountiful repast prepared by Mine Host Stock- ton. After all had done justice at the tables they repaired to the Opera House where the boys were treated to several songs by Mr. Drysdale and duets by Miss Jessie Munro and Mr. H. H. Mockler, after which dancing was in order, and all went home happy, and proud of the boys in blue and. white. Only one decent man on the field, so say the boys, who all speak the highest of Thompsonâ€"the field captain of the Wellingtons. ,Marbie faces were quite in order. Allie McIntyre, Mike McCracken anci Percy Glass say they are no cowards but no mistake. boys, we certainly were scared and bad too. As soon as the hoodlums of Owen Sound show signs of civilization an- other game with Durham may be looked forward to. but the time is not yet. , -Every team that has played here this year have been‘ treated as gen- tlemen and in a. sportmanlike man- Buffy Dixon showed them how to play clean lacrosse, but. he had poor pupils to educate. NOTES. Now for the Junior Championship. If Pete Manheson can jump as high without a. mob around him, watch him take some gold medals this fall. Picket fences don’t. stop Pete. Cracks had four teeth knocked out, Moore his head cut open and Pear- son badly marked but that didn’t stop them. They are peaches. THE GAME WAS A ROUGH ONE. Durham Defects the Wellington: of Owen Sound. Boys in Blue and White are Forging Ahead. LAC ROSS E. The Saugeen Presbytery met on iTuesday of this week at Palmerston. ithe moderator, the Rev. Mr. Aul], fresh from the heather hills of Scot- lland, in the chair. At the request of éCedarville congregation that group of mission stations was raised to the status of an augmented charge and a grant of $150. 00 a year asked from the Augmentation Committee, the interim moderator being the Rev. 'Mr. Little. of Holstein. The Home .Mission Convener reported that he 7 had visited the stations of Mildmay . and Ayton. and that ~they had agreed ito raise a dollar from each station extra per week, thus reducing the amount needed from the Home Mis- sion Committee‘ oy $104 a year The standing ordexs of Presbytery u ere revised by a committee, the convener of which was Rev. Mr. Dobson. In that connection it was agreed that, at least at one meeting in the )ear an hour be given to discuss some 1111 actical or doctrinal question; '1 he ”first in this series is to be a paper ‘given by rtev. Mr. Farquharson at fthe December meeting, the subject 9 assigned being the new book by Prof. Mcl’ayden on " Modern Criticism and the Christian Church.” Presbytery adjourned to meet in Guthrie church, ‘ Harriston, on December 8th.

Good substantial progress was reborted from every auxiliary in the Society, and the treasurer’s re- port showed growing contributions, bOth in money and in clothing. The Palmerston ladies spared no pains to make all comfortable and happy, and certainly everything reflecned great credit on their management. In the evening the congratulations of the Presbytery were conveyed to the ladies by Revs. Hanna and McCul- lough. and an address was given by Rev. Mr. Faskin. of Toronto. Alto- gether the meeting was a success. and if many of the delegates, owing to the necessities of the railway time table, had to hurry away without a. “ thank you ” they none the less ap- preciate the hospitality of the people of PalmerSton.

We Positively Guarantee Where’s Theobald? was the cry heard from a number of the Owen Sound scum. We have it on good authority that the better class of Owen Sounders don’t like to attend lacrosse matches because of the prevalency of rowdy. 15m. It seems that the Owen Sound press daren’t open its mouth againsn the town toughs. No more Owen Sound trips for our toys. It’s lacrosse we want, non Guerrilla warfare. One of our young ladies had the Durham colors torn ofi her waist and the waist also torn. Very gen- tlemanly trick coming from our County town. The dray load of girls with fog horns enlivened the proceedings. ner, and the retnrn we get from Owen Sound is beyond our idea of true sport. A report has been made to the President who allows nothing like that on the field. and we think Owen Sound will hear from him. T0 CURE A COLD IN ONE DAY. fl WRITTEN GUARANTEE. DR.
