The team that will represent OAC in the annual Columbia meet at Portland has not vet been select' ed, but there is plenty of first claes material from which to select and there is no doubt that a good bunch will be sent to di fend the orange.

The discussion of the Bubject of two or more public fountains for Main street has been revived and there is a general hope that a way may be found for pro viding such, as ibey are badly needed both for man and beast, and would be of untold benefit to nil, especially to farmers who come to town and have no place to water their teams.
