Sheffield is hit pretty. hard and so is Glas- gow and Belfast. There is a con- tinued succession of strikes for higher wages and better living con- ditions. Taxation is burdensome and the people are restive. Withal, there is a grim determin- ation to see it through and all men of authority and position are exam- ining conditions as never before to correct, if possible, the causes for unrest and content. Anyone who studies the history of the British people knows the difficulties they have surmounted in the past and have faith that they will come out on top in the future. Meanwhile, unless one examines 'onditions carefully, there is no in- dication that they are not happy ; | tion and prosperous. Every available hotel and board- ing house in London is crowded. The seaside resorts are having a In.

If they fail in Britain we all will fail and the world will return to savagery. I think responsible men in allclasses are about to get to- former eminence and power in the love of labor for the comfort of man and the Glory of God. Let us, in Canada, give them a hand. F. O.

THOMAS Dishing up a much better brand of ball than they have been playing lately, the Stratford Bards, in the Southern Ontario Baseball League, defeated St. Thomas here on Wed- nesday by the close score of 3--2. Youngs, pitching for Stratford, al- lowed but seven hits, while Morden for St. Thomas, allowed nine. Stratford's chances of winning the the second half. of the schedule are very slim, but cther teams in the group had better wateh their step or some of the dope may be upset before the schedule is finished, STRATFORD WINS PROTEST During the past week Stratford lost out to Kinburn in a semi-final W.F.A. game, but immediately pro- tested players Armstrong and Tay- lor on the grounds that they had already played with the St. Col- umban team in an Ontario Cup game. At a meeting of the com- mittee, the protest of the Stratford Club was upheld and the games were ordered to be replayed. The 'first game will take place in Strat- ford on Tuesday next, with the re- turn game in Kinburn on Friday night. - SOFTBALL GAME With nothing but the errors re- sembling the big leagues, the Bea- con- Herald would-be softballers just managed to duck the white-wash pail that the McLagan Orioles, the unbeaten leaders of the City Soft- ball league, endeavored to tip onto them last night. In the scheduled match which was played at Queen's Park the furniture makers won 15- 2, both of the typemen's counters - being tallied in the ninth. During the first seven innings the losers got worse and worse, so in the eighth and ninth they strength- ened themselves with the addition of Hamilton, McKeown and Boyd Lavelle. The Southern Counties' player scored the first run for the vanquished. Tonight the Orioles are playing No. 2 team of the C.N. A.A.A. and if they win will be un- disputed champions of the Indus- trial Group.

Shortly after bring- ing the sleigh here from Toronto Mr. Worth sold it to the late Mr. Wm. Easson, who conducted a planing mill and saw mill on the property that is now known = as Waterloo and William streets. It does not require a great stretch of the iniagination to picture the fiery leader of the Liberal party, racing around from one meeting to another, stirring up the followers of the party to the issue at stake, in what was then one of the fastest sleighs in the country. We must stop and remember that at that time nearly all travel was by either horse and buggy or by cutter. Mr. Easson told the representa- tive of The Mirror when he called, that he intended to take the sletgh from its present resting place and put it where the elements would not have snch an effect on the lon- gevity of this valuable historical asset, SPECTACLES & Shur-o Ride, drive, swing a racket or a midiron--AU-Shelltes Shur-on spectacles are al- ways comfortably in place.
