S Pancoff Wins Speed og Race for the Seconld Year Fixts. Another of the lyceum enttrtainâ€" ‘ments, sponsored by the Kiwanis Club, was held at the Goldfi¢lds theatre on Wednesday evening this week and proved a delightful evening to all atâ€" tending. Edward Reno, the illusionâ€" ist and worker of magic and mystery, supplied the programme, and the event deserved a full house.. In the usual sleight of hand, magic and myâ€" stery tricks, Reno showed himself a master, and he had many novelties and specialties that made especial appeal. There was not a dull second on the programme. Most of his acts were really marvellous exhibitions of ‘the hand deceiving the eye and the cleverness of the expert left the audiâ€" ence completely puzzled. . A young boy and a little girl from the audience were pressed into service as assistâ€" ants, and under the clever guidance (often not apparent) of Reno, the youngsters furnished a great deal of amusement. The little girl especialâ€" ly kept the audience laughing by her clever questions ‘and ‘her careful watch ing of the magician. The general opinion of those at the event is that C There was a big crowd out on Satâ€" urday afternoon to watch the speed raceâ€"the main event of the Poreuâ€" pine Dog Race and Carnival. The crowding of the course, despite the roping off and the good work of the police, interfered with the starting of the teams, and created some conâ€" fusion, especially exciting some of the dogs, but otherwise everything went well. _ The officials,â€"Dr. Melnnis, Fire Chief Borland, A. Gillies, J. Mcâ€" Kinnon and M. Gibson,â€"handled the race effectively. W. H. Wilson, the secretary for the event, received the times by phone from along the course and bulletined them on the board erected at the Marshallâ€"Eccelestone corner, The howling of the dogs was a feature of the start. There were cight entries, only one, J. MeDonald (No. 2) not finishing the course. Eight Entries for Big Feature in Saturday‘s Dog Race and Carnival Event. Time Good, but Not as Good as Made by Pancoff in the 1926 Race. Prize Winners in Sports in Afternoon. / S. Pancoff won first place with a time of 1 hour, 14 minutes, 25 seconds.

A Schumacher man, charged with running a motor without the necessary markers, said that he had lost his markers in the snow after turning too far out on the road to avoid a collision. He had new markâ€" ers when appearing in court, so the case against him was dismissed. A local man who was accused of having a vicious dog, agreed to send the aniâ€" mal out of town, and this case also was dropped.

GRIPPLED DRIVERS WO THE FREIGHT D06 RAGE The freight race in connection with the Porcupine Dog Race and Carnival on Saturday last attracted a bigger crowd and greater interest than ever before. The crowd gathered for the starting of the freight dog race was like that usually assembled for the main event of the day. The freight race event was first run in 1922, when the feature was won by Mr. H. W. Darling. â€" Saturday morning‘s event was accordingly the sixth freight dog team race (there being no race last year). There were fourteen entries Saturday, one team only (that of B. Soxensen) not finishâ€" ing ‘the ‘course. A new record for time was made on Saturday, the course being run a few minutes faster than on any preâ€" vious occasion. The course was pracâ€" tically the same as in previous years, being from Timmins to Schumacher and* return. Time Made in Event on Saturday Morning Broke Previous Recor For This Feature. Another feature of the event was the fact that the two to finish first were crippled drivers. H. Veino had his leg ‘broken last year and Geo. Churney has artificial lower limbs. The weight of these drivers was allowed as part of the required load. Geo. Churney, second, in nineteen minutes and fortyâ€"five seconds; prizes $25.00 cash and bag of flour.

The Southerners came back strong, but failed to pass Thornton. Some hard checking developed now, with both teams making endâ€"toâ€"end rushes. Just before the gong rang Mountain, the Port Colborne right wing missed a dandy chance at an open net. The period ended South Poreupine 2, Port Colborne 0. The second period. was nearly two minutes old when the South Poreuâ€" pine team made it 3â€"0.© MceHutcheon and Jemmett went down together, but were stopped by Nixon.

Port Colborne came up strong, all men on the forward line, keeping the play in the Poreupine territory. _ The O.H.A. champions were having hard luck at this stage, they had the puck, but couldn‘t seem to find the net. Spence was showing good form, checking hard, and breakâ€" ing up innumerable rushes. Kilpaâ€" trick had the fans on their toes when he got in on Thornton for what looked like a sure goal, but the Gold Miner saved. Spence was knocked out by Nixon, and for a time it looked like the side lines for the rest of the game, but the exâ€"Liskeardite stayed with the game. A dandy save was made by Thornton, the puck going into the anâ€" dience. Spence called on Moore for a clever save. Rushes on both sides now developed, both goalies having work to do. Kilpatrick and Nixon got in on Thornton, "but missed the net. The Ports were on a desperate offensive, hemming the Miners into their=own blue line, but were unable to get the puck inâ€"for a tally. Cross got knocked out when he rushed Mor: rill. _ Just before the period ended Kilpatrick lost his temper. _ South Poreupine 4, Port Colborne 0. The third opened with both teams a man short, the Ports taking the offensive from the faceâ€"off. A lot of chopping and bunching followed neither team appearing to have the edge. The Ports seemed to have the ing to rough it. Cross took a trip for tripping Spence, and on his return to the ice was benched again for slashing at Jemmett. Cain went for a rest for slashing <â€"Cuthbert. : When Spenee killed time in the corner the whole Port Colborne line came down, and desperate efforts were made to score. Thornton even came out of his net to help hold the attack of the Southâ€" ern Intermediate Champions. Morrill was sent off for charging McHutchâ€" eon. Spence and McHutcheon nearly scored in a nice combination play. Play was held<up when Murray was hurt through crashing into the boards. «Murray went off» when he <dumped Mountain when the Port Colborne player was in for what appeared like a sure goal. Spence and Morrill had a "‘friendly‘‘ argument near the end of the perid, the Niagara district man dumping the South Poreupine centre man and getting away with it. After JOHN CHTONEN FOUND OFAD At HOME Thur a. short ‘by the northern champions the Ports came back on a strong offensive, but beyond calling on Thornton to make a number of saves failed to register. Gagnon took a trip for dumping Kilpatrrck who went off right after when he stop ped up Jemmett for what looked like a certain goal. Cuthbert went off for slashing at Jemmett, and the teams were now lined up five to four. The period ended with Spence rushing in on the Port Colborne net.

Had Been Ill Some Time. / Friends of John Ohtonen were shocked to ‘hear last week that he had been found dead in his house at the rear of 68 Fourth avenue. He was found ‘by a friend who visited him at 7.15 p.m. on Thursday. The police were notified at once, and they in turn summoned the coroner.

He was an oldâ€"time resident of the camp and with his wife and famâ€" ily lived here for many years. His wife and two daughters left here aâ€" bout a year ago and are now resident in Chcago.
