suspended most of shops closed and the only matter of inter est presented was a shooting match number of volunteers from Sharon and number from Newmarket full particulars of which will be found in another column trains going North and South look away a great many pleasure seekers to places where entertain men la had been provided and a goodly number went round Simeon for a days airing The sports at Holland Landing collected to other a large number of people who enjoy ed themselves apparently to their hearts content At this latter place Sharon band bad been engaged and a programme comprising foot races jumping cricket and other athletic games the whole concluding with a Lacrosse Match between Newmarket club and a club in the imme diate from street match had anxiously looked forward no time and being of the features of attraction created good deal of interest Both classes looked well the street boys in their bright of red and blue and the Newm boys principally in white with pi belts Just before game commenced Mr John Rogers presented the Dominion Club Street with a set of colors and received tho thanks of the club In this club appeared to bo an over match for the Newmarket Club but always given to the strong and surprised to see the on the part of Newmar ket and in fact both clubs considering their amount In about twenty first ball was sent through the favour of Newmarket after a well contested struggle The second innings entered upon and after a contest of about an hour and a half the ball was again sent through the pasts by Newmarket In some excellent play was brought out Rogers in the first place showed his hot I in running and manceuv in dodging the ball so as to almost carry it the entire length of the field bo witl who we noticed having fa cured the ball on his lacrosse bat it a considerable distance and on met gently pitched it over his opponent head a short distance and before his op posing time to hinder him had secured the ball again and ran with short distance of the base compelled itgo a good many others on both sides who were equally good in their place and I but space will not allow The third was entered upon but not finished owing to a disturbance having tweeu Dudley and Dudley asserting that as he was running after the ball with close to him he struck on the back by Armitage win dispute between the two and hard words were used Dudley in the excitement of the moment to strike opponent with his bat for which he has since had to pay a few dollars to the Ma- gistrates at Holland Landing thus end ed the match so far and at present we are unable to state whether the game will be resumed or who will receive the of fered to bo contested for Certainly so far as playing went the Newmarket Club had a better show of

the walla were decorated with lit tle prints and pictures and the table of the front room covered with a pile of books Most of them were religions reading and all to have been read The actual

been for a strong tody of police and the driving quickly off he have been very roughly handled Many however of the labourers ran after the cab hooting and jelling at him ell the way to the sta tion The few remaining police at the station were immediately despatched to follow the cab to the railway in case of an disturbance Here a singular scene took place A large concourse of persona had congregated round the entrance to the station among whom were some hundreds of navies and men employed on the line A cry was raised of Tear him to pieces and Lynch him lynch him On open- the cab door
