A meeting of the V.ON. was held at 8 pm. on Monday evening of this, The winners of this tilt go south to meet the O.H.A. winners in Toronto for the first bid in the race for the Allan Cup, emblematic of the Senior Amateur Championship of Canada. ‘The finals are to be played in Monâ€" treal at the end of this month and early in April. The hockey dope as figured on durâ€" ing the past few weeks has been all upset. The much tooted Falconbridge team, champions of the Sudbury disâ€" trict went down to defeat on Friday night last at the hands of the North Bay Vigilants, a team of outsiders, who had drawn a bye in the southern serâ€" ies, by a score of 3â€"0, and this after, North Bay here toâ€"night (’I'hnmday) and the return is also to be played on Timmins ice on Saturâ€" day, "the Gatewary" city not having a covered rink in which the finals can be played. The games should be good. We all know what the Timmins Seniâ€" ots are. They have played a nice brand of hcockey all winter, and fans have yet to see them go down to defeat this season on their own ics. A list elsewhere in this paper will give the fans some of the "dope" on the various players,. North Bay are the dark horses of the league. They are the unknown quantity.

Stephenson Rink 18 J Representing North J. E. Jacques, for the past three or four years a popular member of the Timmins branch of the Bank of Monâ€" treal left on Tuesday of this week for Sudbury. While all here will be pleased at the promotion won by him, there will be regret at the removal of this good citizen from the town. Mr. Jacâ€" ques was active and esteemed in many circles in town. He was secretaryâ€" treasurer last season of the Timmins Tennis Club, and he was also prominent in the K. of C. and in other organiâ€" zations here. Previous to his leaving for his new post at the Sudbury branch, the staff of the Bank of Montreal here tendered him a farewell party and also made a presentation to him as a mark of their esteem and appreciation. Names Must Accompany All Letters to The Advance Emerging from two victories in the three close contests with Leo Racicot‘s Chapleau rink, A. E. Stephenson‘s New Liskeard quartet Saturday won the right to represent Northern Ontario in the Dominion curling championship contest at Toronto this week. The Stephenson four took the first game played at Sudbury, by a oneâ€"shot marâ€" gin, 12 to 11; lost the second, 12 to 16, and clinched the playoff berth by winâ€" ning the third, 12 to 10. The second and third games were played at Copâ€" percliiff. Timmins cinched the right to meet the Southern winners when they handâ€" ed New Liskeard a bad defeat of 6â€"2 in Timmins on Thursday night, and then travelled to New Liskeard on Satâ€" urday and took a 2â€"1 defeat with easy grace, to enter the playoff for the N.O. H.A. champicnship with lead of three goals. Noted New Liskeard Curlers are at Toâ€" ronto for the Dominion Curling Championship Events This Week. Departure of J. E. Jacques Much Regretted in Town ents. It was apparently forgotten that great hockey has been played all winâ€" ter in the Golden Group of the N.OH. A. and that Timmins has a sextette which, being all home brew, is the pride and glory of Canada‘s greatest gold camp. It was also forgotten that a North Bay team had drawn a bye, and North Bay never intends to be forgotâ€" tenâ€"and on Sudbury ice they showed that the "Gateway to the North" can do other things than spread propaâ€" ganda about the foolishness of tourists travelling farther north to spend their money. On Saturday morning, so rumâ€" our has it whitewash was the main deâ€" coration of the city of Sudbury. The Stephenson fow von its way into the playoff by capturing the Temâ€" iskaming and Northern Ontario Railâ€" way district bonspiel at Timmins, while the Chapleau men earned the position by winning the Northern Ontario Curiâ€" ing Asscciation‘s ‘spiel at Chapleau. The cham;N‘onship rink of all Northâ€" ern Ontario bonspiels is from New Liskeard and is as follows: J. W. Mcâ€" Kinley, E. Binkley, W. Thompson and A. E. Stepnension, skip. (so rumcur says) reservations were beâ€" ing arranged for the Palconbridge Falâ€" cons in «Toronto for the ;Y‘ayoffs with the O.H.A. Everybody in the Sudbury district were confident that the Falcons would have an easy win over North PBay, place Timmins nicely away in a corner, and be away for clear sailing in the great games in Tsronto for the first bid for the Allan Cup. But like many others mentioned in history th> Falcons underestimated their opypronâ€" The Chapleau rink consisted of A. Kinahan, V. Creighton, H. Morris and Leo Raciciot, skip. Mtpantsr For several years past, A. J. Tranâ€" som, who this week took over the Cenâ€" tral public school, has been principal of the Mattagami public school. His work at the Mattagami school won him the regard of all and it would seem that not only has he been unusually successful, but he has also earned the high regard of the pupils. The pupils at the Mattagami school say that it has been a common hahit of Mr. Tranâ€" som‘s to treat the boys and girls to skating plarties and weiner roasts, and last Friday the pupils turned the tables by a similar procedure on their part. On Friday last the pupils of the Matâ€" tagami school held a skating party and a weiner roast at which Mr. Transom was the guest of honour. The pupils exrpressed their sincere regret that Mr. Transom was leaving the Matiagami school, though they assured him that he would be followed to his new posiâ€" tion as principal of the Central public school with the sincerest good wishes from the pupiis at Mattagami and from the exâ€"pupils and the parents as well. Mr. Transom was presented with a handsome alligator club bag as a tokâ€" en of the esteem in which the pupils hold him and the appreciation felt for his earnest interest and his kindly efâ€" fort and patience with all the pupiis. Diamond Drilling at Clear Lake Now Work Started on Monday at Clear Lake Porcupine Syndicate Property in McArthur Township First Cores Expected Here on Monday. The case of the work now in progress at the Clear Lake Porcupine Syndicate property in the southwest part of Mcâ€" Arthur township is an instance of the kind of activity that would greatly help this country if it were carried out on all the promising properties of the area. For some time past the property has been prospected and explored and deâ€" velopment work carried on with unâ€" usually promising results. Reports by geologists and mining engineers on the property have been specially enâ€" couraging and the syndicate has carâ€" ried on with the determination to make a mirie. Recently it was felt that diaâ€" mond drilling should be carried on, but there the difficulty of transportation. There are a number of other properties that would be served by the road down through McArthur, and in view of this the Government agreed to put the road in passable conition. The Norâ€" thern Development Branch handled this work in particularly effective way, the road being in excellent condition and being of special service not only to this ene property but also to a number of others. The road‘s condition was proven as excellent by the fact that transportation is proving so easy and uneventful. The diamond drills for the campaign at the Clear Lake Porcupine Syndicate property were transported some days ago without difficulty or deâ€" lay. On Monday of this week the drills were actually at work and everything was going smoothly., It is expected that the first cores will be delivered at Timmins on Saturday morning of this week. The diamond drilling campaign is to be carried on to give extended data on the development of the properâ€" ty and confirmation of the indications already shown by work carried on. The chief members of The Clear Lake Porcupine Syndicate are Jos. Berini, Frank Badeski, Jos. A. Therriault and W. W. Orr, of Timmins and it hard to say which is the most enthusiastic in regard to the chances of the property. It is interesting to note that oldâ€"timers in the district are equally confident as to the prospects for McArthur township generally, and extended work on the Clear Lake claims will no doubt mean considerable more activity generally. Presentation Made to Mr. A. J. Transo Pupils of Mattagami RuaBlic School Show Regard and Appreciation to Their Principal Last Week. It is expected that the Kirkland Lake bowlers will visit Timmins on Saturday night and will play a team of the pick of Timmins bowlers.

The chief feature of the meeting was the presence of Reeve C. V. Gallagher and members of the township council and officials of the township, present for the purpose of discussing township affairs in general, particularly as ‘they ~affected Schuâ€" macher. The meeting was a result of the visit last week of a delegation from the Schumacher Ratepayers‘ Associaâ€" tion to the township council, the reeve and councillors agreeing then to atâ€" tend a meeting at Schumacher at an early date. This was done on Monday evening, Reeve Gallagher giving a reâ€" view of township matters that met with general approval and other members of the council also taking part in the disâ€" cussion. k. ‘This week the pleasing AannounCteâ€" ment is made that the famous Irish play "Kathleen Mavourneen," will be presented in the basement of the Church of the Nativity on Thursday and Friday evenings, March 17th and 18th, under the auspices of the Altar Society of the Church of the Nativity. The play will be given by very able local talent under the direction of Mrs. Barrett. It will be remembered that Mrs. Barrett on two previous occasions diected plays presented here and that the results were eminently satisfactory to all concerned and particularly to the public who were delighted with the offerings, while the greatest credit was won by the talent and skill of the giftâ€" ed directress. Mrs. Barrett will be heartily welcomed here again. It was five or six years ago that she presented her first dramatic offering in Timmins under the auspices of the IL.O.D.E. The event was so pleasing that she had a return engagement the following year.

A. G. Carson, local superintendent of the District Children‘s Aid Society last week had a very pleasing surprise when he received a cheque for $50.00 from the ratepayers of Hoyle and Matheson Union School Section No. 1. A letter from the secretary, Mrs. A. C. White explained that the money was a contribution towards the upkeep of the Children‘s Aid Society of the district which was doing such good work. The letter concluded with the kind words "wishing you every success in your efforts for needy children." Much of the work of the District Children‘s Aid Society is in the rural sections where there is no municipa organization and where opportunities are few to secure donations or grants Work for the needy children has been carried on in the past in the Hoyle area, as well as in cther parts of th« district and there has always been genâ€" erous disposition to support the work so far as possible by all coming ir contact with it.. The contribution fror Hoyle is another evidence of this spirlt of coâ€"operation, but in addition it shows that when enterprise is added t sympathy people will find a way ts helr along a goosd cause. itizens of Hoyle Make Donation to the C.A.S. eral of Mrs. A.

The Tuxis championship of the North in hockey is to be decided by these two games. There are home and home games with goals to count. The Timmins Tuxis, like the Tinmins Seniâ€" ors hope to run up a score at Timmins that will give them a lead that New Liskeard will not be able to oyercome. However, the boys are not so anxious to win as they are to put up the best possible sort of a game of hockey. The game ought to be one well worth seeâ€" ing by all who like snappy hockey. The Tuxis lads will give the best they have, and as the cribâ€"players say, "that is not to be sneezed at." New Liskeard Tuxis Boyvs to Play Here on Friday Evening. Timmins at New Liskeard Next Week. Sixâ€"Yearâ€"Old Boy Struck by Truck on Saturday Timmins Tuxis hold the first place in this part of the North in hockey this season and New Liskeard has disâ€" posed of Haileybury, Cobalt, and Engleâ€" hart, so when the two champion teams get together on Friday evening it should be a gocd game. The puck will be facâ€" ed at 9.15 p.m. sharp. On Saturday afterncon last sixâ€" yearâ€"old boy was struck by a truck on Third avenue and at first it was feared that the little fellow was badly injurâ€" ed. Fortunately, however, the youngâ€" ster is practically all right again, alâ€" though he was knocked down and susâ€" tained a@ cut on the forehead that reâ€" quired three stitches to close., The kindly attitude and good sense of the driver of the truck did much to avert a more serious acciden and also by promptness in taking the boy very quickly to a dsctor did much to rrevent serious consequences from the accident.

He is the representative of the Canadian Temperance Federation, and he spoke briefly but most interestingly in regard to temperance.

For the latter a fire had to be kept going in the building and as thls fire had been attended to shortly before the ‘blaze occurred it is thought tas the origin of the fire may be traced to the stove used for heating purposes, In the building destroyed by the fire there was a $35.00 bicycle, a gosat, a horse, twentyâ€"four laying hens, tools, implements, etc. None of thee could be saved. Mr. Vincent came close to being a victim of the fire himseX in his efforts to save some ¢f the stock. He had his hair burned in a brave last effort to zet the horse out of the burnâ€" ing stable.
