Abegweits in Pictou.

Sir,—-The three days’ excursion of the Abegweit Football Team to Pictou last week was one of the most enjoyable times that any twenty boys ever put in. There were five football teams at Pictou. The first match played was between the Wanderers and Pictou, on Thursday morn- ing in the pelting rain,resulting in a victory for the former by two tries. Then Dal- housie played and defeated New Glasgow by one try in the same kind of weather. We did not see either of these matches. The rain stopped in the afternoon, but the mud was about two inches deep when we played the Wanderers. Every one expected to see us*beaten, and we ourselves were agreeably surprised when we found that we were able for them. The play of W. A. Henry, the Wanderers’ captain, and the two Duffus brothers, their quarter-backs, was very effective. We managed to keep the ball dangerously near their goal line almost all through the game, and made them rouge it four times and make two safety touches, thus scoring eight points while they made us ruuge it three times and scored three points. In this match our Captain, George Robinson, made some _ excellent half- back play, and among the forwards Donald Cameron and Geo. Gordon showed what stuff our club was made of. This, we learn, is the first time the Wanderers have been worsted at football for some years. We hope to play them again in the spring.

The next morning we played againsi Dalhousie College team. On this team are three Island boys. This match was a most friendly one, end the best of good feeling prevailed on both sides. Three of our team whe had got hurt in the iirst match ‘lay in this and we had to put on

our three spare men. Johnson, our quarter-back, was very notice- able in this match, as also was that of Ken- tfeth Martin. The game resulted in our gaining four points to our opponents none.

That afternoon Dalhousie and Piciou played and each scored three points, a tie.

Saturday morning we played against the Pictou team and defeated them by sixteen

points, that is, a goaland two tries. I[n this match the forward play of P. Hogan and John McDonald was excellent. The

latter gained two tries for us. In the last half, Perey McDonald made three splendid runs, which, everyone said, were the best

made during the whole tournament, and he succeeded in gaining one try. The

ground was in guod condition during this mafich and everyone was in the best of

Afraid of the ‘Light.

Srx,—I notice in the Protestant Union a list of the witnesses inthe recent Scott Act cases before the Stipendiary Magistrate. It is rumored that that paper intends publish- ing the names of all persons seen going into places where liquor is supposed to be sold. As «a home drinker and an outside temper- ance man, | protest against publishing the names of those who buy liquor on the sly and take it home and drink it going to bed. if this is allowed Mr. Editor, it will injure us in the public estimation and will either spoil our nightly orgies or bring us before the public in our true light; neither of which we wish. Please give the Protestant Union man a hint to keep quiet. ,

Yours truly, TREMBLING. Nov 22, 1886.

A Monster Gun.

It was manu- factured by Krupp, is 46 feet long, weighs nearly 116 tons without the breech piece, and 118 tons 3} ewt., with the breech. It arrived at Antwerp ona specially construct- ed carriage, 105 feet long, and running 32 wheels.

Lonpvon, Noy. 21.

The Socialists marched to-day to Trafal- | gar Square. Various bodies were headed , by bands of imusic, and the paraders carried

banners bearing incendiary inscriptions, among which were: ‘‘By heaven, our rights are worth fighting for,” and ** Work | for all or work for none.’ Some of the men carried phrygian caps on poles. When the ‘parade passed through Downing Street they hissed Lord Randolph Churchiil. When the speaking began there were pres- ent 5,000 Socialists, 2,500 unemployed workmen and criminals and 20,000 spec- tators. The crowds at the meetings dis- ; persed in an orderly manner, but the police | afterwards found difficulty in clearing the square. Mounted police charged and gradually moved the people. All is quiet to-night.

The Lacrosse Championship.

Monrrear, Noy. 21.

The lacrosse match for the championship between Toronto and Montrealers yester- day, was one of the most ruffianly exhibi- tions ever witnessed at a match here. The Torontos, who were the lighter team, were mauled about most unmercifully, eight of them being more or less injured. The first game was scored for the Montrealers, but owing to darkness coming on the second game was declared a draw,sv the champion- ship for this year remains undecided.

An Immense Reception. Toronto, Noy. 21.

Sir John Macdonald, with Hon. Messrs White and Thompson, addressed an im- mense meeting in Hamilton yesterday and met with a grand’reception.
