Mr. G. M.

P. R. Mr, Lawrence is in his seven- . ty-first year. and for half a century i has been railroading in Ontario. He ' was one of the first trainmen to run 3 into Allandale, and took the first passenger train out of the old North- ' ern Railway when '21, and when the jPrince of Wales, now King Edward, i visited Canada, Mr. Lawrence was A STALK of corn nine feet eight inches long was left at our ofice Wednesday morning by Mr. Harry Burnett. In about a minute we heard of half a dozen others who had corn half as long again almost, and we ex- pect during the next couple of weeks to be compelled to rent a store room for the big corn stalks brought in here for inspection. The prospects are good now and we think of buying a cow or two to eat up the exhibits. What an interesting paper we could get up if we weren’t built too much like George \Vashington ! i “ guard ” on the royal train.

New Story Next Week. played here on Wednesday last be- tween our boys and a team of Juniors from the County Capital. As prev- iously intimated the game at Han- over was protested on account of players taking part who should not have been in the Owen Sound Junior team. The protest was sustained and the Owen Sound boys, as we under- stand it, elected to have the match in Durham instead of going on neutral ground, The result was a whitewash Since the foregoing was in type an interesting revelation was made when an Owen Sound visitor Stated that the game was bought. Money‘ talks, however, and the talk that night was satisfying to a number of Durhamites who had heard repeated- ly that our boys had purchased the game and that the whole thing was a sham. Dug Munro ofiered to bet 35 that the game wasn’t bought, but the Owen Sound man flunked and some little altercation followed. Pete Gagnon, who made the deal. explain- ed just how things were and showed that nothing was paid that shouldn’t have been paid according to the rules of lacrosse. The explanation proved satisfactory to a number who felt that things weren’t just right, and confidence in our boys was restored. On Tuesday afternoon our boys played against Walkerton seconds, who are champions of District No. 3. The result was the same as with the Owen Sound seconds, 10 to O in favor of the home team. The first match of the season here was played be- tween the same teams when the Dur- hams defeated VValkerton by 14 to 4. The next match will be in Walkerton to-morrow. The game was so one sided that it became monotonous, though the visitors made abold fight. In Mt Forest on Friday last the Owen Sound seniors, consisting of picked men from all over Canada, defeated the Lornes by a score of v__ :3â€"0. They are certainly good play- ers, but it’s no particular credit to the County Capital to have to rake the whole country to get material to beat a Mt. Forest home brewed team. Ten to nothing is what the Owen Sounders had to swallow when they trotted out: their seconds. Ditto, \V alkerton. We defeated Owen Sound, and they haven t a team of their own men that the Durhams can’t trim on neutral grounds. It’s no great credit for Owen Sound to claim that the game was sold, but it’s a way of getting out of it. The Bell block destroved by fire on July 28th will be rebuilt forthwith and will be a better building and cover more ground than the former structure. Mr. Bell with his usual energy is pushing preparations for beginning the ere'd'tion. The base- ment foundations of the old block re- main in good condition and excava- tion will be started right away on 'that portion of property on Proton Street extending from the part form- erly occupied by Lucas Co.’s bank up to Roseborough’s implement agency, making a total frontage of 92 feet. The depth on Main Street will be 86 feet. The ground floor will be made up as follows ; a large double store witha forty-four foot frontage on Proton Street and run- ning the full depth .of the building floâ€"a vâ€"v _ _ on Main ; an office for the Bank of Hamilton, a single store and another office which Mr. Bell may use for his own purposes. These latter have a depth of 50_feet. - The building will “Ur-.- vâ€" v_ be two stories, of red brick with a pressed brick front and will be the most convenient and substantial business block in the town. A. J. Henderson superintends the erection of the whole building, Fred Ryder has the contract for the brick work and Thos. Mossop the stonework of the. new basement.
