Some of whom may have sense enough to be benefited. l’l'RHAM Lacrosse boys won a hard earned victory against the Hanover team on Tuesday afternoon on the Hanovei grounds. At the end of the first quarter the score stood 2-2; at half time it was 4-3 in favor of Han- over. at three quarter time the teams were tied at 7 all and when full time was called the game was again a tie at $8. They played over time to decide when Durham scored and the game ended 9-8 in our favor. Both teams worked hard and every inch of the ground was fiercely contested from first to last as may be inferred from the way the score stood at the end of each quarter. i THE glorious Twelfth passed off very quietly in Durham. The Lodges from this vicinity went to Arthur to attend the celebration, where. we understand. that thirty or forty lodges had assem- bled for the occasion. The boys be- haved themselves well and there was no ill-becoming conduct manifested either going or coming. Orangenien of to-day are. as a rule. a gentlemanly and well-behaved organization. and dilfer very much from similar bodies of thirty or forty years ago. It is un- fortunate, however. that friction oc- curred in Toronto between the Street Railway Co. and members of the pro- cession. Accounts are so strangely varied that it is difficult to know just where the blame belongs. and whether it should be placed on those in sympaJ thy w1th Orangeism or on the element opposed to the Street Railway Co. which is apparently an unpopular con- cern in the city Of Toronto. One thing appears clear, however, that the trouble did not arise out of any sectar- ian differences, which years ago seem- ed to be the main cause of Twelfth of J nly disputes. \VE are in receipt of a letter from Dr. J.

For Paris Green and Bug Killer, go to Darling’s Drug Store. Tm: Holstein boys were quite. cocky a short time ago about their ability to play base ball. and they were on the high jump to find something they coulan trim too easily. VVe suggest- ed a game with Durham to one of the leading sports of the sister village, and no time was lost in arranging for a game. The boy‘s down there play good base ball, but a team from here went down a few evenings ago and defeated them to the tune of 12 to 1. They were not defeated because they were poor players, but because our boys are better players. We have six teams here in town and they are all stars. \Ve’re getting cocky now, too, and a few more Victories will make us so we won’t he able to hold ourselves. “It was a great victory entirely,” as John Graham would say when he wishes to forget that he’s Scotch, and wishes the people to think he has risen to the dizzy eminence of an Irishman. This is the place they play haSe ball in its purity. Lots of them can catch the hall on the first bounce if they happen to, be near enough to it. A COMMUNICATION from Mr. Parqu- hzu-son is held over till next week. OWING to a. change in business, all accounts due me must be paid in by the first of August,â€"Miss Dick. FUR the past three months M r. and Mrs. Bolgrr and daughter. of Australia, have. been guests of Mrs. Christopher \Villiams and other friends in the vicinity of lidgrhill. Mrs. Bolger is a daughter of Mrs. \Villiains and enjoyed very much a renewal of acquaintance- ship of her former associates. It was Mr. Bolger’s first visit here. and his genial afi'ahilitv during his short stay has made him many warm friends in that vicinity as well as in this town. As our antipodean visitor leaves for home to-niorrow (Thursday) a Very enjoyable picnic party was held at Haywards last Saturday in honor of the guests. It was a free and easy af- fair and in addition to its “ go-as-you- please” character, there was a nice program of speechmaking. songs and dancing which was very much enjoyed by about a hundred and fifty residents of the vicinity who availed themselves of the pleasant holiday. On leaving Mr. Bolger tells us he carries with him the very kindest feeling towards all he came in contact with. He says he hearted people. and we take the liberty of publishing his opinion of the peo- ple he prizes so highly. Though half the world intervenes between his home and here, he leaves with the enjoy a. like participation of the Edge- hill people’s hospitalities. Though the Chronicle has been going to his far distant home for the past fourteen years the articles it contained had only a visionary interest, but from now on everything will have a reality about it. We enjoyed the visits of Mr. and Mrs. Bolger very much and wish them all safety in their homeward journey which Will complete - his second com-.. piece...tgip round the wet-Id. - IT’S a great thing for a. man to have. courage enough to thrash his wxfe.
