In _ the lHumilton Conference the Spirit had been at work, and many had joined lthe church. Rev. Dr. Briggs presented the reâ€" port of the Book Room, Rev. Dr. Bond, editor of the Christian Guardâ€" ian asked the Conference to aid _ in increasing the circulation. _ ‘"‘The Guardian is my _ politics,‘" concluded the editor, and the Conference laughâ€" ed and applauded. Rev. J. W. Graham, of St. James‘ Church, Montreal, explained the finâ€" ancial condition of that building, and when he announced that the . great church was saved to Methodism there was a scene of great enthusiasm.

The | Royals w@te in the lead by three goals to one up to two â€"minutes beâ€" for time, and every man on the Berâ€" lin eleven, as well as the five hundred spectators on the touchâ€"lines, thought 'the Royals would be the winnets. Butl strange things happened in those two ‘minutes. The Galt forwards pressed hard and fast, and in a scrimmage a goal was shot between the posts. One minute remained _ when the offâ€"side was made, and in almost less time than it takes to write, it, Galt scorâ€" ‘ed their third goal and made it a draw. A halftaâ€"minute remained after the last faceâ€"off, and when the timeâ€" keeper blew the whistle, the Royals were bearing down upon the Galt goal. Talk about excitement, It was tremendous, and â€" has seldom been equalled on any W.F.A. football field. ‘m the field a protest was handed to him, accouipanied by a deposit of $5 by the Galt Club. They claim that as Oliver Seibert had signed with the Rangers, he was not illegible to play twith the Royals. The protest was promulgated at â€" the suggestion _ of some of the Gait seniors, who certain ly took the result of the game in a very soreâ€"headed manner. In our opâ€" inion the W.F.A. is the gainer _ by ‘85. as the result of this intended proâ€" test.

It was not surprising therefore that a large number of football enthusiasts went to the depot to . welcome the \vlctorionl Rangers when they returnâ€" ed on the evening train and also to congratulate the Hurons , who were passing through on their way to Seaâ€" forth. There was a general handshakâ€" ing all around when the Ranger and Huron teams met on the platform.
