The garden party at i:he Methodist church on Tuesday evening resolved itself inio asocial owini' to the cool weather, and was held iu the basement. The affair was very poorly attended, lacrosse seemingly having more attraction. Eat- ablrs were plentiful and of excellent ((uality. The program was really choice, Rev. Mr. Humphries of Priceville being the star speaker. This (^nileman gave an excellent ahortjaddre.ss on the relalions of the chruch to heaven. A short audress was also delivered by Rav. Mr. Thorn, Presbyterian minister, and Mr. M. UichartLion. Mu.sic and singing, to getlier with a re.;itation by Miss Keefer, made up the Imknce of the program. The pastor occupied the chair. A despatch from Markdale on Mon- day says : There came to this villaue about two weeks ago a lady aiid tjentle man to work the town for hotel advertis- inir.

They cama to the villjge on Tuesday, August 3rd, and on the follow- ing Saturday afieriioon the geiitleniii'i suddenly disappeared, leaving the lady (his wife) almost distracteil.

The match was an extra, the two clubs having tied f(jr first place. This was Flesherton's first 8ea8(.<n for lacrosse, and only two or thtoe of our . playgra had before playeil i.i auy kind of a lacrosse game. It was seen after the first game or two of the season that our club would have no chance with the stronger clubs at both ends of the line. Notwithstanding these discouraging conditions our people gave the game an enthusiastic reception here and tiiok the greatest of interest in it. As for ourselves, this paper has attempt- ed to dejil lairly with all clubs during the whole series, but as luucts cannot be said of some of the other papers. This results, however, from the players re- porting their own games, a condition which all newspapers shouU avoid as far as jxissible, or insist on ar accurate uccuuiit. Indiscriminate bandying of charges and counter charges is something which should be avoided in this con- nection. The two teams which waged battle on Tuesday have given us some exciting matches, but there would have been much more in theiu to praise had both kept their beligerent instincts a little more in check. Both teams are mostly old players. Iu the Markdale team Campbell, Stephens, Armstrong, Tuck, Mathers, Potts, Coleman and Hunter have all handled the stick be- fore, and therefore were in a position to cope with the old playars of Shelburne . As for the piwr season's showing made by Dundalk, we are at a loss to ac- count for it, as many of their Iwys were also supixwed to be adepts at the stick. But the fact remains that they kept up their end but little better than did F'eshertou, only having won two games during the season. The match of Tuesday on the Dundalk grounds was attended by a host of peo- ple from the four towns. Shelburne brought up a special train of spectators. Craig of Fergus, President of the C. L. A., refereed tbe game and would stand no nimsens e, therefore it was the cleanest game of the seasou. Mathers of Markdale was sent to fence in the first bout for deliberately striking his check, and has the honor of being the only man so treated during the season. This had a most wholesome etl'ect on all hands and the play proceeded with smoothness throughi^ut. There were, 700 spectators on the ground, the gate receipts being $100. P.ay was startetl at 2.40, Shel- burne securing the lirst goal, after which Markdale took three straights, Shclburne following with three goal.') in succession, makirg the score •! to 3 ui favor of Shelburtie. Aud thus ends a successful and interesting season of lacrosse.

Although the score is somewhat one-sided the .Markdale boys nevertheless played a stiff game fioiu start to tinis!i. Our youngsters on this occasion put up an exceedingly good game considering the little piactice that they havu had, but our little fellows were detfrmiiied that I hey Would surpiise the seniors by winning their first match.

In the second game h mors were pretty evenly divided, but in seven minutes Flesherlon again had put the ball be- tween the Markdale flags, VaiiZant scoring from a neat pass from Gibson.
