There were choruses of wellâ€"balanced groups; solos by Mrs. Briden, Mr. Bosâ€" worth, Steve Lynn, Mrs. Parker; violin solos by Mr. Hornby, of South Porcuâ€" pine; duets by Mrs. Parker and Mr. Calverley; recitations by Mrs. Keene: stepâ€"dancing by the Demers brothers : and attractive children‘s chorus that was specially encored:; dialogues and sketches that delighted the crowd ; and a closing tableau and chorus that was a special hit.

In compiling the column "Ten Years Ago in Timmins," the amount of space given to advertise this event in The Advance has been noted. After the preliminary publicity there came a length report of the event in The Adâ€" vance of March 9th, 1921. The openâ€" ing paragraph of this extended report read as follows:â€""The concert and dance given Monday evening in the new McIntyre Recreation hall at Schumacher, for the benefit of the Porcupine Hockey Club, proved an unâ€" qualified success. The attendance was large, over 400 taking in the event, and the programme furnished was one of outstanding merit. Mrs. Parker, who directed the big and attractive pro- gramme, and all the others concerned in the presentation of the concert and | the arrangements for the dance are certainly to be congratulated on the enjoyable success achieved by the evening‘s programme. A large numâ€" ber from Timmins went over to Schuâ€" macher for the occasion and all are agreed that the McIntyre hall makes For several years prior to 1921 The Advance had been advocating the creation of a mining court with the then mining commissioner T.

The last game in the 1921 hockey finals for the N.O.H.A. championship was played at Timmins on Wednesday evening, March 2nd, the Sault Ste. Marie team winning with a score of 5 to 1. The Advance admitted that the best team won and that the Sault‘s classy little team of skilled hockey players, well trained and wellâ€"generâ€" alled, would worthily repressent the North in the QH.A. finals The soft ice was a disadvantage to the Timâ€" mins lads, but otherwise they were beâ€" low their usual form.

"Wait for the facts! This is only fair. An official stateâ€" ment may be expected within a few days. Wait for it. Leave the baseless street rumours to the outside newsâ€" papers!" This was what The Advance advised. This official statement was presented later and showed that while conditions were not right, they were not nearly so bad as some of the ruâ€" mours. Ten years ago The Advance said:â€" "At the 23rd annual meeting of the Canadian Institute of Mining and Metallurgy in Montreal last week.

Steve Lynn made a big hit in comic songs. .Spezial mention was made of Mr. Bosworth‘s magnificent voice. The choruses were all remarkâ€" ably effective. W. H. Wilson and his crchestra provided the music for the dance after the concert. So far as The Advance can recall it was the bigâ€" gest value for the price of admission ever given at an entertainment in this camp. The excellent acting of the members of the Byrnes family taking part on the programme won special comment, and it is not too much to say that any one item on the lengthy programme was well worth the whole: price of admission. | en years ago there were a number of rumours on the wing in this disâ€" trict regarding hockey affairs. An inâ€" vestgiation was ordered into the matâ€" ter, and in the issue of The Advance on March 9th, 1921, the committee named by the N.O.H.A. (Messrs A. F. Brigham, R. J. Ennis and C. G. Wilâ€" liams) was referreda to as sure to deal fully and fairly with any scandal there might really be, "Wait for the facts! This is only fair.

Ths man held up had no money on him, but the highwayman took his watch and startâ€" ed away cursing the victim of the ocâ€" casion. The latter "talked back" and eventually the highwayman made use of the gun he had been flourishing. A Ishot was fired at the figure of the reâ€" treating victim and the bullet hit the worker in the back of the thigh, passâ€" ing through the leg. The highwayman then made his escape and though there Are clues to his identit® he has not yet been apprehended. The police, howâ€" ever, expect to make an arrest in the case at any time. The victim of the crude rcbbery was given every attenticn as soon as his plight was discovered. He was taken to the hospital and hxs’ recovery promises to be a speedy and' complet2 one.

Among the local and personal 1tem.,. in The Advance ten years ago were the: following:â€""W. G.

The Advance gave considerable space to the endorsement of the attitude takâ€" en by Capt. Tom Magladery, M.P.P. for Temiskaming, in regard to the poor methods of enforcement of the Moâ€" thers‘ Allowance Act. Car\. Magladery made the charge i nthe Legislature that the act was being spoiled and rendered useless by the red tape meâ€" thods adopted. There has been imâ€" provement in the enforcement of the act in the past ten years, but The Adâ€" vance would be inclined to cheer again if a number of the Legislature attacked it now somewhat after the brave manâ€" ner of Capt. Magladery, as the enforceâ€"| ment of the act could still stand somei’ fixing. | Ten years ago The Advance had the |following paragraph, giving the opinion 'of an outsider on a matter of general interest:â€""Coach Geco. McNamara, of the Soo hockey team, while in town last week mentioned with evident appreciaâ€" tion the attention paid to hockey in this current issue of the Advance. He suggested that the press could do and was doing a lot to support and help along good, clean, fast hocksy ang other sport. "The whole tone of your paper," Coach McNamara told a Timâ€" mins man, "is such as to make your people proud of their hockey team an: the hockey boys satisfied and contentâ€" ed with the good brand of sport they are putting up." said The Advance. For the game here there were groups of visitors from Sault Ste. Mariec, Sudbury, North Bay, Hailâ€" eybury, Cobalt, New Liskeard and cther centres. After the game the visiting team was banquetted by the Porcupin: hockey club, about 75 being present at the event. C. G. Williams, president of the Porcupine hockey club was in the chair. (G. S. Lowe proposed the toast to the Sault club, reply being made by Geo. McNamara, manager, and "Flat" Walsh, goalâ€"tender. _ Th: former concluded his remarks by proâ€" posing the toast to the Porcupine hocâ€" key club to which A. F. Brigham, Jos.

Referee| Sproule also gave short address, as did Messrs Bailey, of Haileybury, Stscl-l dard, of North Bay, Thistlewaite, of | Iroquois Falls, and others. | The game was clean, only four penalâ€" ties, and none for serious offences, beâ€" ing given. The Sault team put up a remarkable game of speedy hockey, but the locals d :d not seem to be able to get going. Parker, on a pass from Cox registered the only Timmins goal of the evening, doing the trick in the seoâ€" ond perio?. "The ice was against the locals and this and other handicaps (including having its former defence men off on account of recent injuries) spoiled t‘te chances of the Porcupine team, but they worked from beginning to end with a will, and it is no disgrace for any team to lose to the Sault boys," THE PORCUPINE ADVANCE, TIMMINS, ONTARIO | TaLkrNG PicTurRrEes yarn didn‘t have any better hindâ€"sight ‘ han I had foresxght in regard to that l ockey game," said Charlie.‘" ‘"The nldxen s Aid Shelter at Haileybury is co reâ€"open on March 15th."
