Hickling, treasui'Cr of the Club, tlie matter of publishing all donations to date has been unavoid- ably delayed. Should any ovorsigiit ihave occurred in omitting the name of any subscriber from this list, it will be appreciated if the matter is braught to the attention of the fin- ance committee. On the other hand, while it has been attempted to complete a thor- ough oanvass of the village and a partial convass of the rural com- munity, it is quite possible that some may have been overlooked. In this event, donations will be gi-atefuUy received by the treasurer or representatives of the finance committee. It is with a sense of deep gratiude and aoeomplishment that we publish the complete list of subscribers to date. It reflects a pi-evailing spirit of sincere gener- osity and convmunity interest. Ad- ditional donations will be published- periodically. Official rceeir'ts will be mailed to all contvUuitor.s 4n the early future. R. J. Boyd $50, K. Alexander. Shelibume, $50; C. O.

Hockey Games Retarded On Referee Dispute nhe past week has been a hectic one in Central Ontario Hocikey Leaigue circles. It all started when Flesherton went to Harkdale Wed- nesday night of last week to play the fourth game of their play-off series, but the game was not played despite the fact that the rink was packed with spectators. The following statement has been issued by the management of the Plesjheiton team: "To our supporers: An explanation is necessary as to the reason the Flesherton team did not play their game in Harkdale on Wednesday night. It was a question of referee. The Mbrkdale Club was notified at 2 o'clock on the after- noon of the game that they would not play under Mt. Hayward of Owen iSound. Two referees were appoined by the League Secretary and were Banks and Grainger of Shelibnrne, who were present. Mlark- dale would not have them, btit had gone ahead and secured the seiTices of Hayward. Flesherton made the concession that they would play with Banks refereeing and Hiayward as linesman, but tJiis did not satisfy Markdale, stating it was Hayward or nobody, hence Flesherton did not appear on the ice." Since then an attempt has been made to have the two teams play. A League meeting Friday night ruled that Flesherton be thro<wn out of the competition and this vote was de- clared illegal by the secretary. On Monday Coach Bob Phillips received a letter Xro.a L.io L.-o--- announcing that the game in which Haj-ward refereed the week previous would be thrown out and a sudden-death game played in Markdale this Wednesday "ight. Another League meeting was held Monday night at Dundalk and the rilling -was again changed that the best in live series would be con- tinued with the standing the same (Markdale have won 2, Flesherton 1) and League referees be used. This was not satisfactory to Markdale and they still insist on outside ref- erees. They are the only club in the Ijeague that have so far insisted on outside referees. So there the mat- ter re.sts tills Wednesday morning. It seenis to us that the appoint- m<'nt of referees for the games I should be left in the hands of the League without interference by the teams, and this is the stand taken by the Flesherton club. In the previous game at Markdale. Floshei-ton protested the use of an outside referee, but agreed to play the game, although they were dis- satisfied w'th the arrangement, and for the second game they sttick to their principles for League referees, of who«i Markdale -(vould have noth- ing to do. ;iiid so the matter rests. To call the Flesherton players and management "poor sports' as was ijoiii. that night before the facts be- came known, does not get a persoo anywhere, and while we do not con- sider that we have a monopoly on sporting instincts, we do believe tliat our sporting blood is as good as can be found anywhere. The same iniys jilaying for Flesherton were not "poor sports" when they played for Mark<lale a couple of years ago, hut now apparently are, as they are on the otherside of the "fence." If the sanies are to continue, the League will have to give a definite riiiiiiig and then enfoi-ce their de- cision. Feversham Twins Have Birthday Next Sunday Congratulations will be extended- on Sunday. Feb. 2{»th, to Messrs. John an<l James Hudson of Fever- sham who will celebrate their birtlv day. It is a rare event for twins to obsei-ve their birthday on Lea,p Year day. They have always been unfor- tunate that they could not celebrate their birthday except every fourth year. Mby these two estimable gentlemen have the privilege of ob- serving more birthdays. Osprey Agricultural Society Elects Ne"" Board of Offioen The adjowned meeting of the OS" prey Agricultural Society was at Feversham on Friday last, much enthusiasm and ioterast was apparent, and all -were agreed that something could be done to place Ula Feversham Fair on a par with tfe* bast one-day rural fair.
