Horn, Correspondent) Hampton, June 27.--Final ar- rangements are being made for the big day of July 1st. when our Sunday School will, as for years previously, celebrate Dominion Day, by having their anniversary tea, on that day, with a concert in the evening. A program of sports has been planned to be held in the park, an ideal spot for such an event, where one can enjoy an afternoon to the fullest extent. If one isn't interested in the sports, the grounds affords comfortable places, and shelter from the burn- ing sun, on the banks of one of the prettiest little bodies of water, which is in itself a great incentive this time of the year. We are glad to say that most of our citi- zens are those who take great in- terest in their places of residence, by an occasional touching up with the paint brush, keeping their lawns, and gardens in a splendid condition, .and the planting of flowers and shrubs, which add murh In appearance too along | with a little paint, The large patch of bhurdochs, that has so far added no beauty to our main street, or yet shown the interest of those near whose places they have grown, in regards to the best appearance of the vil- lage, have at last been hewn down, However, there is still work for some one who can efficiently han- dle a scythe, to cut down the many other weeds, along the roadside through our village, which in many places are a nuisance, ove). hanging the sidewalk, We, tre pleased however to see ig.'most places, the grass nicely cut-outside the fence of many _"egidences, while that outside of #he property adjacent, spoiling tie appearance by obnoxi#fus weeds.

The swings and other amusements on the grounds are receiving careful attention for the safety of the little folk, and will be greatly used on Wednes- day, July 1st, when the following games are advertised--Girls' soft- ball at 3 p.m.;Boys' softball at 4 p.m.;Maple Grove and Hampton League ootball match at 6.30 p.m, ~Zion and Solina, Hampton Girls' softball team returned from Long Sault on Wed- nesday night, feeling encouraged over their game with Blackstock team, which resulted in a score of 10-9 in favor of Hampton, The Brotherhood and their fam. ilies of Simcoe Street Church, Oshawa, were favored with ideal weather for their picnic on Wed- nesday in the Hampton Park.

At one stage of the game it was 6 to 1 for the locals, and the visi- tors appeared to have wilted be- fore athe terrific attacks of the men of Powers. But Excelsiors took too much for granted, and led by Dodds, Mimico's cleverest performer, the visitors took on a new lease of life, and by the end of the third quarter had beaten Large for four consecutive goals. There was a large crowd of fans at the game, and this threat gave them something to worry about. But at the intermission Powers took the champions to task for their seeming indiffer- ence in the third quarter, and when they took the field for the last 20 minutes' play there was a marked improvement, A clergyman told a writer in the "Sporting and Dramatic News" (London) a story of the colleague who conducted a study class for the young men of his parish, One day a neophyte asked a question, "How Dan to Beer- sheba?"
