There was a large attendance of local and visiting teachers, as well as quite a number of invited guests, who . all united in making the evening a most enjoyable one.. After some time had been spent in a social manner, Starnaman‘s orchestra _ enlivening the period with music, Mr. W. E. Wray, President of the Association, took the chair and a short program was introduced. Those taking part in this feature of the evening‘s etâ€" tertainment were Prof. Zoeliner‘s surpliced mixed choir of St. Petar‘s Lutheran church, Miss A. Musselâ€" mar, Mr. D. B. Musseilman, .

(On Thursday evening the choir of Trinity Methodist church were hosâ€" pitably entertained at the home _ of their popular president and his estiâ€" mable wife, Mr. and Mrs. J. B. Weaver, Elgin street. The early part of the evening . was spent in games etc., after which refreshments were partaken of. It was not till nearly the time of leaving that it was learned by the members of the choir that Mr. and Mrs. Weaver were celebrating the twentyâ€"fifth anâ€" miversary of their wedding. It was a delightful surprise to the guests and a pleasant hour was spent lisâ€" tening to addresses by the male members of the choir as well as the able leader, Miss L. Ziegler, all exâ€" tending their hearty congratulations to Mr. and Mrs. Weaver upon reachâ€" ing the twentyâ€"fifth â€" milestone _ of cheir _ wedded life and united _ in wishing them a long continued hapâ€" py and successful life. Mr. Weaver expressed â€" his thanks and appreciaâ€" tion on behalf of his wife and himâ€" himself for the kind sentiments and good wishes conveyed by the mem:â€" ber s of the choir. The first game in Group 6, Interâ€" mediate W. F. A. series, was played at Victoria Park Wednesday evening between Galt and Berlin teams, the for.ner winning by 2 goals to 0. The attendance was not very large, Galt having almost as many supporters as did the home team. SILVER WEDDING ANNIVERâ€" SARY. Although Berlin put up a hard upâ€" hill fight they certainly were up against it. Their team work was vory poor at times, owing to the fact that it was the first time they had played toâ€" gether. With some good hard pracâ€" tice they no doubt will be able to show up better, but their chances of winving out look very slim. "Hurdy" Heiser played goal last evening for the first time and did remarkably well, making some very claver stops. Lou Kruegâ€" er at full back and Willie Kuhn at half back were the pick on the defence, the latter covering more ground than any one of the 22 players on the field. The forward line was somewhat lost, Bam Roschman showing up well, making a number of dudgnrou shots on pu{ «"Collie" Schmidt and Knell on the left played well together but were watched too close to be effective. The Annual Deanery Mecting and Church Workers‘ Convention was held on Tuesday in St. John‘s Anâ€" glican church, Berlin, and was . atâ€" tended by delegates from . nearly every parish in the district. . The sessions throughout the day . were interesting and profitable and much ‘good will undoubtedly result from the convention. The morning session opened at 11 o‘clock with Holy Communion, beirg celebrated by the rector, the _ Rev. J. W. Andrew, after which a busiâ€" mess session was held at which reâ€" ports of the Dearery and W. A. M. A. of all the churches were read. Lunch _ was served in the basement nlfi an hour‘s social gathering was held.

At 2 o*clock the band, followedâ€" by a large crowd of people, marched to Victoria Park and in a short space of time ‘the first event was #n proâ€" gress. The game of basketâ€"ball betâ€" ween=the Berlin and Galtâ€"YÂ¥. M. C. A. teams was entirely new to a large majority of spectators, who took more than the ordinary amount of interest in the game, which was inâ€" teresting and exciting enough, but was made disagreeable to=a ~large number by the rough playing and continual ‘‘chewing‘‘ or the part of a few ‘of the Berlin players. The Galt boys are experts in the game and â€"are tetter acquainted with the rules govâ€" erning it than what the Berlin boys seemed to be, andto the many disinâ€" terested spectators it looked as if the Galt boys took pity. on the home team and let them cil with just eâ€" nough extra points to show them the superior team of the two. Jas. Scott of Galt was the referee and what he does not know about the game is not worth while knowing, but his position was nmade very disaâ€" greeable by the manner in which some of the Berlin boys differed with him in his decisions. The game endâ€" ed with Galt securing 16 points to Berlin‘s 12 RANGERS BADLY DEFEATED The football game between the Berlin Rangers?! and Galt, chamâ€" pions of the Western Football Asâ€" sociation, was lcoked forward to with considerable interest, not unâ€" mixed with a certain amount of anx< iety, but rmow that the game has been played, it is a certainty that there are many who wished they had not been present to witness the downfall of the _ oneâ€"time famons Rangers. The expectations of the admirers of the Rangers were greatâ€" ly increased when ~~old standbyes like Dr. Rudelt, Geo: ~Boghmer, All. Scherer and‘ Otto : Vogelsung ~appearâ€" ed in their uniform, as~ associated with other players who have made a name for themselves in the City League series of past yeats. _‘‘Dave‘" Brown lined the players up in the rq!lo‘_vin§ pgcitlou: Rargersâ€"Goal, B. Brown; . backs, Scherer and Rudell; half backs, Rayâ€" mond, . Vogelsang, Lackrer;â€" right wing,â€" Roschman and‘ Méifké,yâ€"céntre, Bochmer; left wing, Hellér and Wagâ€" net Galtâ€"Goal, â€" Dr. McKay; backs, Gourlay, Ducker; half backs, Spaldâ€" ing, Hawke, Lane; right wing, Tayâ€" lor, West; centre, Hancock, leit wing Robson, Deeton. ‘The game started with Berlin kicking against the wind. For alâ€" most half an hour the battle between the two teams reminded one of _ y¢ olden times, with the possible excepâ€" tion that on Saturday two fisticuft bouts took place and referee Brown ordere the participants to assist the the time keepers for the space of five minutes. _ Neither side showed any advantage over the other duringâ€" the first thirty minutes and no goals were scored. It began to look as i! Galt would not be able toâ€" score with the strong wind assisting them and the Rangers‘ admirers were picâ€" turing to themselves what would happen to Galt when the teams changed _ ?nds. These air castles all ame down, however, before before haltâ€"time _ was _ called as two goals were forced through by Galt‘s speedy forward line. ‘The second half of the game and its result is too terrible a talé to reâ€" late in these columns. and to recall its features would not be any baim to the feelings of Berliners. . Gait scored four goals while Berlin . did exceedingly well in making five or six attempts to secure a shot. The game ended with Galt having six goals and Berlin none. _ Thus the afternoon‘s programme was ended. It is estimated that about 1800 people attended the band concert or Satu:d»y evening at Victoria Park when the ;o‘!hlhll‘ol‘hh:: Musical Society acrainm mvlwul.v!hnrm:m-m of new and highâ€"class music. _ The piccolo solo by Mr. Julius Zeler was the feature of the programme, and alicited a wellâ€"merited encore.

When the firemen arrived on the the scene of the fire the people living ims iginity. were making hercuâ€" zffitfi save the houses which in close proximity to the flames and which seemed at one time to be bopelessly doomed. _ It is supposed the fire started in he hay mow and in a very few moâ€" neuts the whole structure was the ~tey ol the spreading flames. helpless horses and cattle made desâ€" erate attempts to escape out of the doors which had been opened. Sevâ€" eral horses were rescued, . three by Dr. Hett, who was attending a{ catient in that part of the town whenthe fire was first seen. His work was heroic and deserving of mention. The nightâ€"watch.nan narrowly es aped losing his life when attempting to rescue Mr. A. L. Breithaupt‘s horse. The animal became unmarâ€" ageable and jumped out of the open door, dragging his rescuer with him. The man was badly bruised and had to be removed to his home. There were four horses burned to a crisp, two of them being family horses belonging to Mrs. C. Breitâ€" haupt, arother of them being a mate of one of the most valuable heavy draught teams in the country. The fourth horse was also a valuable aniâ€" mal. Among the cattle that were burned were two valuable Durham bulls and six cows. A _ number of implements and a large quantity of hay, straw, grain, etc., were also destroyed. The building and its conterts are a total loss, the damage amounting to about $7,000, while the insurance is only $2,800. The houses occupied by Messts. Durrant and Goetz were saved and the ‘damage will be slight. The cause of the fire is a mystery as two of the employees had been in the stables about half an hour previously ~and all was well then.. t is thought by many that the fire was the work of an incendiary. The many friends of the Breitâ€" haupt‘s will sympathize with them in their unfortunate loss. A Beautifully and Impressive Ceremony Marked the Event A. F. & A.
