The game was always in doubt right up until the last couple of minutes of ply. Roy Best scoi-ed two goals, the first and last, both on passes from Cairns, and Ken Chard did the hat trick after Shelburne had forged one ahead, when he tied the score on a pats from Jack LawTence, and gave Flesherton the lead again a minute later on a pass from Milne. It was a rousing finish and had the fans on their feet the entire period. In the second period, after the first ended in a tie, Cairns put Flesherton ahead on a pass from Turney and Frank Paget £.j:Pin equa'hd I'le score, the period ending two all. These two teams meet in Flesherton this Wed- nesday night and the game should be another natural. The local team wa? without their star centi-e, Geo.

Young men vied witi; each other in having the finest sett of bells, and of course the finest driving horse to impress their lad.,* friend. Today the scene is chaivged and the sound of bells is rarely heard on sleigh or tutter comwi^r in- to town.
