It reminded us of the boy, back in our schoolâ€"days who whenâ€" eyer things did not go to suit him in the game, was always making the We regretted to see, in last week‘s Advance in the letter partially exâ€" plaining the hockey situation in the North, that same was associated with The now famous amendment is there in the constitution of the N. O. H. A. and as such takes precedence over rules. What does reverting to Interâ€" mediate mean if it does not give the rights that belong to an Intermediate series? If a blunder has been made by leaving the amendment in the conâ€" stitution thus long, would it not be more sporting now to live up to it until such time as it can be withdrawn, inâ€" stead of jumping on one side of the fence and then on the other, accordâ€" ing to the direction from which the most pressure seems to be made? Had there been a just elimination in the first place the idea of reverting to inâ€" termediate would probably not have occurred to Porcupine Hockey Club any more than it did last year. But there was a game in protest that had been played under such uncontrolled condiâ€" tions that it never should have been allowed to go on for sixty minutes. It was early in the year for the hockey season to close. To Porcupine Hockey Club it appeared to be the happier method to revert, than to fuss over a protested game. It would bring more games of interest here for the little band of home hockey fans who had so loyally supported them in spite of a hard winter. And it would require conâ€" siderably more efficiency on their part than merely playing off a protested game. So, for a club as well as an inâ€" dividual should not the words of the poet be applicable. "This above all To thine own self be true And it must follow as the night, the day, Thou can‘st not then Be false to any man." In spite of the ice being rather heavy there was a splendid attendance at the carnival, held at the arena on Thursday last under the auspices of the Porcupine Goldflelds‘ Band. Quite a number, especially of the children, were in costume. While the adult costumes were being judged quite a number did not appear on the .ice, leaving some of the classes of costume not nearly so well represented as might have been for some of the prizes. Ladies‘ fancy costume was won by Mrs. T. Lang in a white leather Eskimo outfit, the prize being a dainty luncheon set donated by W. D. Pearce and Son; ladies‘ comic costume, won by Mrs. J. Hanneberry, as the mother of the twins won a sugar and cream donated by Marshallâ€" Ecclestone; ladies‘ most original won by Miss Clara Gemmill, as "Bathâ€"room Accessories" was a teaâ€"set donated by the Porcupine Hardware; gentlemen‘s fancy costume, won by Mr. Rudd, as the ‘"Minister," was a clock donated by D. Cattarello; gentlemen‘s comic, won by H. Montrose, as a Negro clown was a box of cigars donated by A. De Rosa; gentlemen‘s most original, won by Freeman Anthony, as a "Calendar," was a table lamp donated by the Norâ€" thern Ontario Power Company; girls‘ fancy costume won by Waneta Blood, as "Red Riding Hood" was a purse donated by S.

If Sudbury wins the Intermeâ€" diate series will Sudbury also be forâ€" bidden a game with Iroquois Falls? What is there in the N. O. H.

Rosenbloom. Then Nick asserted strongly that he was a boy. Boys‘ fancy was won by Elmer Cunningham in Highland costume and was a pair of golf socks donated by M. Rosenthal; boys‘ comic, won by T. J. Wright, as "Wrigley‘s Chewing Gum," was a flashlight donated by T. Feldâ€" man. The door prize, a fancy cup and saucer donated by South End Pharâ€" macy, was won by Mrs. Johnny Cook. In the children‘s races which followed, Mary Miller won the race for girls fifteen years and under while Katie Miller won for girls twelve years and under. Norman MacKay, Matti Miller and Benny Laffin were the winners of the boys‘ races. There was no puckâ€" carrying contest for the members of the Intermediate Hockey Club as the ice was not in any condition for it by the time it should have taken place on the programme. There were many other especially pretty costumes worthy of note. Mrs. G. T. S. Train and Mrs. Art Ewing were particularly dainty as valentines. Miss Pearl Miller and Thelma Roy made smartâ€"looking sailor lassies. Arminta McJanet and Muriel Miller were two black crows. Little Miss Marion Ewing represented the "Land of the Maple," and Miss Dorothy Farrell was "Canada." Beulah Rayner made a typical "Newsie" and Caroline Sutherland a Highland lassie. The broomball match of two tenâ€"minute periods caused many a laugh. That pigâ€"skin went everywhere else around threat to go home and tell his dad. It seems to us an unsportsmanlike and to a certain extent a bullying attitude to take with the N. O. H. A. executive, if when calling on them for a decision, the same could not be done without issuing the ultimatum of severance from that association if such decision were not made in the favour of a cerâ€" tain team. Surely it would be more sportsmanlike, after placing one‘s cause before them to let the N.O.H.A. make their decisions; then to abide by them, or withdraw, whichever suited the fancy. Their friends here sincerely symâ€" pathize with Mrs. J. Andrew and Mr. J. C. Ostrom in the death of their father at Dunraven, Calumet Island, on Sunday, February 9th. The late Mr. James Ostrom was eightyâ€"three years old and was loved and respected by all who knew him for his earnest helpful Christian life. He died as he had lived, a Christian of inspiring faith. After bidding his family all "Goodâ€"bye" he slept peacefully out of this life into eternity. He leaves to mourn his loss a widow, three sons and five daughters. G.
