Mr G. M. Engel, Ass‘t repreâ€" sentative in Grey Co. to Mr T. S. Cooper, is on hand each day, to give all details and particulars.

Int. team was too much for Durham, defeating the locals 4â€"1 in a hard battle. Durâ€" ham should have made it closer, misâ€" sing many golden opportunities in front of nets, but the only shots that count are those to cross the goal line. Trushinski and Reybould were Walkerton‘s stand out performers, each scoring twice, once each in first period and also in last. Durham had a slight edge in 2nd when Ries got the ouly counter on a nice effort.
