STRATFORD DAY BY DAY

(From Our Own Correspondent.) Stratford, Last Night. Those people who have the idea that the weather in Stratford is either wev or cold, would have cause to change their opinion to-day, as the weather is perfect summer. Coming after the wina of yesterday, it is welcome. Drain-laying operations in the yard of a certain hotel were " t primary reasons of the horse driven by a Chinaman shying and the upsetting of the Chinaman and the contents of the cart. Supporters of the country racing clubs must be happy over the narrow victory gained in the House on Wednesday night during the discussion of the Gaming Bill. The new sub-clause to clause 6 eases the position of the small fry, and does away with ;'ie fear that their meetings are door ■'. vhen the reduction of totalisator ■■! nniis ensues. It is not often that a speech wi'.'' '.'\o refreshing candor which characi "d that of the member for Auckh:..'. Central is heard in the House; and whatever one's opinions of the views contained therein may be, the novelty is noteworthy. Whether" owing to the protracted nature of the deliberations of the Committee, or for what reason, interest in the Bine charges appears to be waning locally. The report of the Committee will doubtless arouse the public interest, and arguments according to the political, color of the advocates will ensue. The Stratford Cricket Club had the rather remarkable experience of being two men short .yesterday of tl m picked team and finding that the tw -übstitutes selected were present. J - addition, every player had paid his subscription. In view of the laxity that prevails generally in regard to the latter matter, such a state of affairs is worthy of note.
