This event, sponsored by the Ontario Athletic Commission, has, within a comparatively short period, become the Athletic classic of the proâ€" vince. In the amazing results attainâ€" ed in the discovery and developmen: of track and field material, it has well justified its institution and maintenâ€" ance. Northern Ortario athletes,enâ€" joying the same privileges accorded to Southern Ontario athletes, have probâ€" ably not been appreciative of the adâ€" vantages this form of training providâ€" es. In past meets only a small perâ€" centage of Northern schools have sent representatives to the district meets. Sudbury, Haileybury and North Bay are the only centers that have competâ€" ed during the years since it was comâ€" menced. Other schools have been ‘"in and outers" at the district gatherings, and apparently only for the want of enthusiasm. North Bay kept hammerâ€" ing at the championship door confidâ€" ently until last year one of its repreâ€" sentatives came through with a Provâ€" incial title. Haileybury and Sudbury, while not so fortunate, have accomâ€" plished wonders in bringing along their boys and it won‘t be long before either or both will have the honor of welcoming home one of their sons as a provincial champion. It is to be hopâ€" ed that the various schools will take a more lively interest in this worthy prot motion."‘ price well below $1500. ENTHUSIASM NEEDED FOR NORTHERN TRACK EVENTS Timmins, Ontario erver" who writes the "Sportâ€" column in The North Bay Nugâ€" t week says:â€" There is no Russell Lemon, member of the Kirkâ€" land Lake N. O. H. A. senior team last winter, and still better known as a player in the Kirkland Lake baseball team last summer, and who is widely known and popular in the North on account of his connection with sports, was bereaved on Wednesday morning of last week by the death of his wife who passed away at the home of her parents in Cobalt after a lingering illâ€" ness. Friends of "Russ‘" Lemon in this district will extend sincere sympathy to him at this time. The late Mrs. Leâ€" mon was only 21 years of age and was born in Cobalt where she lived practicâ€" ally all her life. Before her marriage she was Miss Pearl Johnston, only child of Mr. and Mrs. J. E. Johnston, of the Nipissing Mine, Cobalt. MRS, RUSSELL LEMON DIES AT COBALT ON THURSDAY "No consideration could be given by the Ontario Parole Board, which met at the Burwash Industrial Farm last Saturday, to the case of Arvo Vaara, editor of the Finnish newspaper, Vaâ€" paus, who is serving a term for sediâ€" tionus libel and whose case came beâ€" fore them for review. When convicted at the Spring Assizes in Sudbury of publishing seditious libel in the Vaâ€" paus. Vaara was sentenced to a six months‘ term and a $1,000 fine or an additional two years. The fine has not yet been paid, and the plea for cleâ€" mency, presented to the board, could not even be considered. Of the 75 cases that came before the board, over 40 were passed as favourable and the inmates will be released before the exâ€" piration of their terms." Application was recently made to the parole board with a view to securing the release of Vaaro, the Finnish editor at Sudbury, sentenced some months ago for seditious libel in connection with some objectionable references to the King and ‘Prince of Wales, at the time that His Majesty was critically ill. In view of the fact that the fine, whch was part of the sentence, had not been paid, the parole board could not even consder the matter of Vaaro‘s parole. In referring to the matter last week The Sudbury Star said:â€" Parole of Vaara Could Not Even be Considered ‘1075 louring . . . . Roadster . . . . 2.Door Sedan . Business Coupe 4.Door Sedan .

It was then published in New "The Chronicle scribe trucked to the luncheon room three volumes of old Pictou Country papers. He opened the oldest volume, of 1829, and turned to the issue of April 22nd, of The Colonâ€" lial Patriot, published in Pictou exactâ€" |ly one hundred years ago to the day. Together with the Gyros he briefly reâ€" viewed the proceedings of that weex in Pictou Country and what the readâ€" ers of the Patriot found in their paper in the shape of news and information. It was an interesting old issue, consistâ€" ing of only one sheet printed on each side. This was explained in an editorâ€" ial that owing to the wretched condiâ€" tion of the roads, they had been unâ€" able to get an ample supply of paper, so issued the paper just half the usual size, with apologies. (It might be notâ€" iced that the Dept. of Highways was found fault with a hundred years ago just as today). Other local news was that the ice had cleared out of the harâ€" bor, and there was considerable bustle along the waterfront getting the craft in shape, which the comment said was appreciated after the long, tedious and dreary winter. John McGilvery of Mount Thom was found dead along the roadside leading to Six Mile Brook and a bottle of rum threeâ€"quarters full was found beside him. A jury verdict said he had died of intoxication. Aâ€" ‘mong the advertisements was one inâ€" 'viting bookings for passage in the Schr. Janus, 50 tons, from Pictou to Halifax, the captain, Allen McDonald proposing to keep the schooner on that route carrying passengers and parcels during the summer. In the general articles, was one on Rothschild, the English banker, being a Jew he was not in favour with the article. Then followed a severe condemnation of waltzing and waltzers. Declaring the newâ€"fangled dance to be an invention !of the devil. Turkey and Russia were at war and some space was devoted to the engagements in those battle fields, and also to the political doings of the British House of Commons, the news having come to Halifax by ‘"packet." "But the greater space was devoted to the famous Barry incident in the House of Assemkly, Halifax. Barry was the member for Shelburne and in a vicious speech and by a letter in the Acadian Recorder he attacked the. House. He was brought before thel House and sentenced to jail, While the Sergeant at Arms was escorting him to jail, he escaped and fled into his home, A mob gathered to support Barry and that evening while several members of the Assembly who were opposed to Barry were going to Govâ€" ernment House, they were attacked with stones and some were injured. The soldiers were called out to quell the riot and to patrol the streets. Next day Barry gave himself up. Thousâ€" ands visited him in jail. "From 100 years ago a jJump wWas made to 70 years ago and The Eastern Chronicle of April 28th, 1859 produced. It was likewise reviewed. The results' of the general election for Nova Scotia were recorded. East riding Pictou elâ€" ected a split ticket, Hon. James Mcâ€" Donald (Con.) and Captain George McKenzie (Lib.) The defeated were, | Dr. Mitchell (Lib.) and Adam McKen-’ i | zie (Con.). The vote stood, G. Mcâ€" Kenzie, 1,406, McDonald, 1,404, Mitâ€" chell, 1,399, A. McKenzie, 1,397 Pretty close figuring. The polls were at New Albion Mines, Merigomish, barney‘s River Bailey‘s Brook, Middle River, West Br, East River, East Branch, East River, Little Harbour,| McLellan‘s Mountain, Blue Mountain | and St. Marys. There were more votes | cast in Merigomish than in Albion | Mines, and New Glasgow polled 415 votes. An advertisement in 1859 gavej the rates in Lindsay‘s coach, Halifaxl to Pictou, 1 pound, 2 shillings and sixpence, and the same to New Glas-! gow. To Antigonish the fare was one pound twelve shillings, and to the! Strait of Canso, two pounds. (Railâ€" | great deal). In the ads. two vessels were announced to sail for Auckland, New Zealand, carrying passengers deâ€" siring to emigrate to that country. The schooners were of 200 tons burthâ€" en and would call at the Cape of Good Hope en route for water and supplies. The Eastern Chronicle in 1859 was published in Pictou by E. M. Medonald, uncle of the Hon. E. M. Macdonald. A reader of The Porcupine Advance has favoured this paper with a recent copy of The New Glasgow, N. S., Eastâ€" ern Chronicle, which contains a report of what may be termed "an illustrated address" on oldâ€"time news in Nova Ssotia. The address was given by Don. F. Fraser, of the staff of The Eastern Chronicle and he dealt in inâ€" teresting way with the old fyles of newspapers published in Nova Scotia. There are so many points of general interest in the report that it is worth publishing herewith for the pleasure of the large number of people from Nova Scotia in this district the item should have double interest. The Eastern Chronicle article in full is as followsâ€" "For yesterday at their noon lunâ€" cheon the Gyro Club asked Don F. Fraser of this paper to"® give them something of interest in the line of a talk during their after dinner smoke. The truth was they had been disapâ€" pointed in their scheduled speaker and used our scribe as a pinch hit, but we make bold to pass some of it along.

An intoxicated man at Toronto was not only fined $15 but compelled to pay $10 for the policeman‘s pants which he had torn while being arrested. A Haileybury man was fined $20.00 and costs last week on a charge of asâ€" saulting his wife. â€" According to the woman‘s story she took his liquor permit out of his pocket and gave it to the chief of police. The reason she gave for this action was that she did not like the idea of a man who did not drink having a permit. When her husâ€" band learned of what she had done, she said he "bashed her all about the house," and hence the court case. The accused said he took an occasional drink, but there were no entries on his permit. He pleaded guilty to the charge and was warned that he would get a jail term if the family troubles brought him to court too often. KHis permit was returned to him.
