A few cases of scarlet fever were present and one family in the eastern portion had emall pox which did not spread. I had no call to quarantine for diptheria, while two or three cases of typhoid were reported to be in the township.

At the same time a Kitch ener player was goalward bound with the puck, but the Hamilton players, believing that play would be stopped, stood still and allowed the puckâ€"carrier to skate in on top of Anderson for an easy counter to tle the score. This brought about overâ€" time play and it was not until seven minutes of the first overtime period had elapsed that Bellingham scored the winning goa! for the Pate. 1 Allen Shirk, starting in his nine teenth season as an O.H.A. player, was at centre ice to steady the yeungsters of the team, and the veteran turned in a tidy performâ€" ance.
