Simcoe and Woodstock, and the score was 8-5 in favor of Simcoe. The Woodstock boys put up a very good game and the score was 3-3 at the beginning of the last period when Simcoe got very energetic and Woodstocks best man who was playing back didn't seem to do as well and they lost 5 goals and only made 2. They have picked out three Dover men as spares on the Simcoe team and put Harvey Lany on to-night but whether from nervousness or not he didn't put up any thing like the game he did the other night so they soon took him off and didn't try {Name} or Joe.

We were up early this morning and spent the whole fore-noon getting Dougherty's lambs off. We got the sleighs out and Frank started down to Pickford's after our stock rack but met him coming back with it. We then weighed the lambs up by pairs on our own scales and when we weighed them down at the car they came to exactly the same and Dougherty gave us 15 cts for the ewe lambs. We had to go to the planing mill and get him some shavings to bed the car with and had to go up town for some coal oil and then we got some shavings to bring home with us to put on the ice so it was about noon when we got here, our lambs came to about $177.00. We haven't done much all the after noon but chores. Frank went down town to-night and I worked at my show card work. Snowed more this morning, not cold.

Dad. drove Tid, Frank and me down to Sunday school this morning and then came down after church and drove Aunty Marj. and Tid over here for dinner. Frank and I walked home. Frank walked out to Sidway's this after noon but I stayed home. Dad. drove Aunty home about four o'clock while I fed the cows. Marj. stayed to tea and I drove her home this evening. The cutter slides along but the road is bare in spots. W.F. Cockshutt M.P. gave an address on the Forward Movement in church this morning which was very good.

Frank left for Guelph to-day. He expects to be up there about a month taking short courses in Hock & Seed Judging and Tractors & machinery. He spent most of the morning getting packed up and I drove him down in the bob-sleigh to Aunty's where he stayed to dinner intending to leave on the one o'clock car, but it was so late that they cancelled it, and he and young Downs who is going to Guelph too, left on the three o'clock car, but he thought he could get over to Guelph from Galt some time to-night. Dad. and I hauled out manure to day from the Bull's pens. We got out three loads but didn't quite finish the pens. I went over to John Wess's this afternoon. Mrs McBride is very low. I saw Cam. and spoke to him about the place and he promised that if it was to be sold he would see that I got a chance at it. I went down town to-night. Milder
