in the conservatory of music chicago fav ored tho audience with an instrument al selection which was decidedly first- class while her accompaniments to mr camerons selections called forth the remark from mr cameron that her playing was not only correct but very brilliant the two little sypher boys in their duett brought down the house and were obliged to respond to an encore the cornet band was present and by several well rendered selections added much to the evenings enjoyment tho lacrosse boys desire to tender their hearty thanks to the band and all others who so kindly consented to tako

stouffville club in accordance with instructions received from the president of the c l a journeyed to georgetown on friday last to play tho first of their semifinal matches with the famous aetnas of that place who carried off the highest honors last year and met their waterloo the score at the conclusion was 9 to 0 in favor of tho homo club so our read ers can easily see that we were not much in evidence at any stage what moro can be said wo have as yet heard no very satisfactory ex planation ns to tho reason for this score but the grounds which our play ers say are by long odds tho worst they sver attempted to play on and tho fact that our boys were on account of the widely known reputation of their opponents afflicted and very much so with what might be termed stage fright must havo been im portant factors in the contest howover when wo consider that the aetnas havo this season beaton the elms of toronto by 7 to 0 st cather ines by 12 to 1 and brampton by 8 to 0 it will be seen that it was not a reat disgrace after all suffice it to to say that the stouffville team was decidedly offcolor on friday fop with tho possible exception of doyle none of the players put up even a reasona ble game our boys on their return in the evening were strong in their condemnation of tho georgetown grounds but say that outside of the match they had a very pleasant out ing tho georgetown club came back here on monday last to play tho second match of tho series and this time to their evident surprise did not have the walkover they expected by any means upon learning the result of tho last match many peoplo thought we had certainly gone out of our class in tackling a club like georgetown hut after witnessing last mondays game their opinion was rudely shat tered and these same people were free to confess that the stouffville twelve can stay with tho best oftkam both teams were composed of tho same players as in the previous match with the exception that beattie played goal for the homo club in placo of james and after by far the best closest and most scientific game of the year stouff ville defeated the last years champions by a score of g to 4 tho visitors were tho heaviest as well as tho fastest team that have been on our grounds this season and as our boys never played to better advantage the match was an exceedingly interesting ono through out as both teams played first class lacrosse and played it all tho timo the checking was close and heavy and there are many cuts and bruises on both sides to show that they were in earnest owing to tho swiftness of tho gamo and to tho evenly matched abilities of tho teams feeling ran high amongst the contestants but broke out only in ono instnnco when an un pleasant setto was indulged in by a couple of players whioh was however of very short duration as the spec tators crowded in and separated them before any damage was done tho combination work on tho part of both teams was magnificent though the stouffville boys clearly showed superiority in tho accuracy of their passing to ono another it would bo hard to particularizo thoso of the homo team who excelled themselves for every man on tho team was a star on monday although tho result of tho scries shuts us out so far as tho c l a championship is concerned still of tho two matches played wo have tho proud distinction of winning ono on good
