SIDE LINES.
IN A MAYORAL CONTEST.. Tho Mayoral contest at Minamar appears in one of its aspects to bo a case of Cavalier against Puritan. Mr. Richards deolared last night that ho saw no harm in listening to a band on a Sunday. In fact, ho liked it better than going to church, and ho would oncourage bands to coino to tho borough for the purpose of playing on tho benches on Sundayafternoons. His opponent, he said, had tried to "put tho kibosh" on bands, and had conscientious objections to Sunday band music, Mr. Campbell rose at the back of tho hall when' Mr. Richards had finished, and said that Mr. M'Lood was in favour of the local' band playing on Sundnys at places determined by the council. Thereupon Mr. .M'Lcod's opinions became tho subject' of an argument wKich, for lack of tho" authoritative information which ho alono could hnvo supplied, was not very instructive. . . , . -Mr. Richards also asserted that Mr. M'Lood had conscientious objections to dancing, whereas lie, in bright and joyful contrast, danced upon every possible occasion, and made himself ' agreeable nil round. Ho intimated that this had maclo him very popular in tho borough.
