In 1921 the Temiskaming Piremen‘s tournament was held at Timmins, the brigade here at that time being a member of the asscciation, which then, as now, included most of the brigades in this North Country. Ten years ago the tournament and day of sports was an unqualified success and credit for this was given to the excellent manageâ€" ment of PFire Chief Borland and the Timmins brigade. There were l356l paid admissions to the grounds, and as ‘hese did not include the fire brigades, bands, baseball and focotball teams, etc., it was estimated that the total attendâ€" ance was around 2,000, which was ai remarkably gocsa crowd for ten ygars ago. In the firemen‘s events, Cochâ€" rane, Iroquois Falls, Schumacher and The Wye (now Ansonville) took prirt, | with Timmins brigade giving exhibition runs, the local teams not competing asl they were the hosts for the day. One ‘of the special features of the day was the music so gensrou:ly furnished by the Iroquois Falls band. This band simply accompanied the Iroquois Falls brigade and were in no way obligatedl | to play, but all day long they provided excellent music and seemed to enjoy the work. The peorfe here certainly @apâ€" preciated the music. Under their geniâ€" al and gifted leader, Ed. Stover, the Iroâ€" quois Falls band proved striking and| rane The with runs they MWW we o -. very pleasing advertisement for Irequois Falls Of course, the Timmins band was out in foree and delighted all. One of the main features of the day was the big parade at 9.50 am. It included the Tisdale ffre truck, the Timmins Citiâ€" zens‘ Band, the Timmins fire brigade, Cochrans, Schumacher, Iroquois Falls and The Wye brigades, the Iroquois Falls band, lineâ€"up of thirty of the Timmins Cadets in uniform, and a reâ€" markable array of autos and floats. The New Empire theatre won first prize for decorated autos with a cleverly deâ€" <igned and decorated car which carried a jazz band that included Pete, Leo and ‘Gene. First prize for ‘the best float went to Frank Byck. Jean Pare and A. Ayotte won first for comic autos. This car bore humorous signs, such as:â€" "Don‘t be a hasâ€"been like this car! Be upmâ€"toâ€"date! Read The Porcupine Adâ€" vance!‘" A. Pigeon won special prize for a real big load of logs, drawn by real horses, on a real wagon, and drivâ€" en by a real lumberman.

The most of the reports, however, were found to be exâ€" aggerated ‘out of all semblance to truth and The Advance had a busy time conâ€" tradicting some of the rumcurs. One to the effect that Kapuskasing had been burned cut with the loss of many lives was one of the yarns contradicted by The Advance after due enquiry.

Line to James Bay Going Ahead. â€" Further Extension Not Considered. â€" Moose Harbour to be the Terminal. In an interview at North Bay some days ago, emphatic denial was given by Geo. W. Lee, chairman of the Temisâ€" kaming and Northern Ontaric Railway Commission, to a report that the official opening of the new extension to James Bay was being delayed until next spring because of a possibility of a still further extensicn of the road to a point 70 miles farther north on the west side of James Bay. Further Extension of T. N. 0. Denied Mr. Lee stated that such a move had not even been discussed by the Comâ€" missicon and there was the best harbor on the Bay at the present suggested terminus at Moose Harbor. The reason for delaying the official opening was the lack of accommodation for the large numbers experted to attend the openâ€" ing. Fi Construction werk on the extension is up to schedule and steel will be at the new :erminus by September 1, Mr. Lee stated. It would take ancther two menths to ballast the road so that pasâ€" senger trains could be cperated and by that time weather conditions might be far from good. During the coming winter terminal buildings will be conâ€" structed at Mocse Harbor and when the official opening does take place it is exâ€" pectsd there will be adequate accomâ€" modaticn for the visitors.
