Bell, Timmins." Owing to the lack of snow and the mild weather in part of the south, the last stage of the journey was much more difficult than other sections of the trip. Attempt was made to mount the sleighs on wheels so as to make the last stage of the journey. In the reports coming to The Advance it is said that the experiment with wheels did not prove at all successful. It was eventually necessary for the ladies to discard the wheels altogether, and the latter part of the journey was mads with the dog teams dragging the sleighs and the drivers assisting in the work by pushing on the sleighs in the mushing fashion pictured so often in the motion films. | _It took the ladies just 30 days to make the 650 miles. This is an average ‘of nearly 22 miles per day, which is a good record for so long a trip, espeâ€" !cially in view of the fact that the ladies did not attempt to make any time and laid up for a few hours or day or so as they felt like it and as ‘their dogs might seem to require. «Apart from the ordinary hardships inâ€" to travel by dog team the \ journey was uneventful though very ‘ interesting. The ladies stayed wherâ€" ‘ever was convenient, putting up ar nights at the hotels in the various towns along the way, when these comâ€" jmumnies could be reached, and otherâ€" wise stopping at lumber camps, foresâ€" ‘\try shelters or other places available. |Everywhere along the route they were ‘shown the greatest kindness and courâ€" }tesy by all. For a considerable part of \the journey the ladies had to break jtheir own trail, and this, of course, made travel rather difficult. In view _of the possibility of danger the ladies iwere not given permission to use the T. N. O. tracks so they did not make 'as easy or as speedy progress on some parts of the trip as expected. Another i cause of more or less delay, as reported, was the condition of the dogs at cerâ€" tain times. The original teams had to be replaced in part owing to dogs deâ€" veloping sore feet or otherwise being spoiled for the rigors of the trip. The trip was a heavy one and accordingly the dogs needed to be far above the ordinary to come through it all with satisfaction. On January 3lst, the ladies started away from Edlund, west of Cochrane, to drive by dog team to the city of Toronto, a distance of 650 miles. The ladies were garbed in furâ€"lined jackets, with scarlet breeches, beaver fur hats and mocassins. Their idea in making the trip was partly for the novelty and interest of the journey and partly to secure focal colour and other material for a book now being written by Mrs. Bullock‘s husband, who is the principal of the little school at Edlund. The trip has been a wonderful experience acâ€" cording to the ladies. But they will go home again by train. As soon as the dogs are rested up they will be shipped by express to the North again, and after a visit of a couple of weeks in Toronto the ladies will also return North. It is said that the two ladies may take a two weeks‘ engagement in vaudeville following their unusual journey by dog team from the North. Mrs. Eva Bullock and Mrs. Annie Edlund, who had made the trip from Edlund, west of Cochrane, to Toronto, by dog team, arrived in the city on Saturday last. The main thoroughâ€" fares to the city hall were lined with interested spectators as the two ladies drove their dog teams along the streets of the city. At the city hall the two ladies were cheered by a crowd of several thousand persons. Mayor Sam McBride gave the ladies official welcome and congratulated them on the sucâ€" cessful outcome of their trip.
