MILLERTON NOTES.

(Our Own Correspondent.) I Sonic very interesting games of football were played on Sunday last. The soccer games were played as follows: c The Wanderers journeyed to Dennis- . .ton and won by one goal to nil, a goal Iby W. Johnson being the only score for the day. The game was last and 'exciting. The Wanderers are in a ■good position now to win the cup, il they can maintain the lead they have at present. Thistle met and defeated tiro United team by 4 goals to nil at . ■Millerton. The game between Thistle ’and "Wanderers should prove a good one. Their teams should meet in a fortnight’s time. j The Rugby match, Possibles v, l’r<» babies at Granity was witnessed by a large- crowd, the Possibles winning by ’ a good margin of points. The crowd • which witnessed the match proved con-. • clusively that Sunday football has come | ' to stay; good open air sport on such ja day as Sunday last cannot, be detri-j I mental to the spiritual or bodily wel- ! fare of a man. Those who seek to do ( • away with Sunday sport are certainly ( Inarrow in their view. We are fast , I drifting ahead of the old time ideas,; J where it was thought a sin io -even i • look sideways of a Sunday. The working class are waking up to the I ; fact that this religious hypocrisy is only another weapon of the ruling class ! used against the worker to keep him ’• in subjection. Fear and superstition : of the great world beyond are last

dying out —the people are fast coming to the view that the materialistic •onception of history is not a myth. 1 I. sec that tire big picture, ‘‘Away Down IhLst,’’ is advertised to be shown in Westfort next Saturday. It is also advertised that this picture will not reach the country places. Mr A. Wheatley advised me that this picture will

•be shown in these places at an early Alate, so people need not spend their good silver to go to Westport; but wait and see the picture at their own door. I On Friday and Saturday next. July 2-8. and 29, a monster bazaar will be held in the County Hall, Millerton, the proceeds being in aid of the ( onvent School at. Granity. The bazaar will be kept open all day on Saturday to ‘•ive old and young a chance to view the splendid display of goods that will be on show. A good programme ol musical items has been arranged to make the evening attractive. The public can be assured of two night’s good enjoyment. i The half yearly meeting of the local

Miners’ Union was held on Tuesday sight last. The balance sheet was read, showing a good financial position. Important business in connection with the future organisation of the mim.*rs was discussed, and a definite movement made to endeavour to organise our forces against the repeated attacks that are being made on the wages ami conditions of the miners.
