The tale of "Leâ€" vinsky at the Wedding‘"‘ told by Mr. Anglin in a droll realistic recital sent everyone into spasms of laughter. When the audience had come out of their convulsions enough to listen again Rev. B. Millar sang "Give Me the Open Road," and as an encore "Dawning." Mr. M. Rose, violinist, alâ€" so later in the evening came in and favoured the gathering with two of his finely executed violin numbers, "Norâ€" wegian Dance," by Grisg, and "Dance de la Poupee," by Delibes.

Gibbons is now out of the hospital in Toronto and that both she and her daughter, Gladys, are much improved. Another annual carnival at the Scuth Porcupine arena here has gone into history as a real success. The plece de resistance on the first part of the proâ€" gramme was a hockey match between Porcupinge Lady Bearcats (South End School.ma‘ams) and Porcupins Bacheâ€" lors. A special cup had been donaced for this event called the "Matrimonial Cup." It was a beautifully gilded largeâ€"size baking powder can, with brass clothes hocks as handles and 1932 in fancy lettering painted on it. comic reading. Mr. Anglin then beâ€" 1 tin Soup, 1 Peas, 1 Corn, 1 Tomatoes, 1 Beans, 1 Pears 1 Plums, 1 Pineapple and 1 Saimon, all for Special It was brought on the ice before the game with an inscription telling what it was on a tablet, most artisti¢cally decorated with fregs, witches, etec. The Bachelors took the ice first and their trepidation was plainly visible. A. Pearce, Sr.., was in goal with a stick about a foot wide and the mascot in a barrel beside him. The defence pair were also outfitted with goaler‘s pads and all had their shins padded and their heads encased in wire netting and carried cedar poles awbout four feet long, besides their sticks to ward off attacks that got too strenuous. The ladies brought a stretcher with them, also a full Red Cross first mid outfi‘. G. Soland acted as referee, his height giving him a Gecided advantage if those Bearcats became too rough. The Bachelors had asked for a Game Wardâ€" en, also to see that no one else made off with any of those chickens. The Bearcats were all pajamaâ€"clad, except on defence where an extremenly.lJong nightâ€"shirt seemed to give more proâ€" tection to the shins. Blue pajamas made the first real rush of the gams but the defence warded her off and "Unk‘" looked more comfortable. Dickâ€" son was the first to capitulate to th»e ladies and the referee sent him to the penitent‘s bench for losing his hat when he attempted to take it off as a fair Bearcat pounced down on him. Ledson in his hurry to get away, forâ€" got to take the puck along. Starling got the puck but forgot to take himâ€" self along as he stood there watching a peachâ€"colored pair of paiamas skate Men‘s Pure Wool Flannel Shirts, well made and real good quality, assorted colours.

As McConnell was getting near the ladies‘ goal it was noticed that his knees began to tremble and an S.0O0.S. call was sent out for all the reserves but before they got to him he was down on his knees before one of those fair defence guards. Walsh, just to prove he was a real dyedâ€"inâ€"theâ€"wool bachelor, did finally get that black biscuit lifted over the line. Gemmill was skating in his own qauiet way keeping at a discree‘! distance but as the gong sounded we noticed one fair Bearcat‘s arms reachâ€" ing for him. The referee tried despite rough usage to deal without fear or favour.. The ladies had scored three goals. The Bachelors were making a final desperate struggle. Two of the lady Bearcats got into that net and smiled up at His Tallness so swee‘lly that alack! for good resolutions that referee just succumbed right across that goal mouth. The game was off so far as any further breaks for the Bachelors was concerned for there he stayed with a look in his eyes like "O how happy could I be with either, were t‘other fair charmer away." There were quite a number and all kinds of costumes and the judges had a perâ€" plexinz time to make final decisions. The prizes went to the following and were well reserved:â€"first, ladies‘ fancy gracefully down the ice. The Bearâ€" costume, Miss O. Walker, as ‘"Mamma Bear"; second, Miss V.

Morris as the Pied Piper in a scarlet and gold costume. »â€" Special prizes were given to Misses Velma Arbour and R. Leroue, of Timmins, who were both dressea exactly alike representing Winter and gave a picturesque touch to the affair. The first for men‘s fancy costume went to Miss M. McNab as "Papa Bear"; second, to Mr. Cramer as an Arabian; first for men‘s comic c~d a.ll sorts of amusement, despite freâ€" quent squeals if they came too near the younger element of onlookers, t.hey were so realistic. Beulah Rayner as "The Devil‘s Imp‘ in scarlet, Miss Latham. of Timmins, as a pirate and Newsham Haneberry as Ghandi were all good. Mrs. Blood, labelled *"*Star Boarder," patched up with splints, locked as if it had been a falling star. Messrs Robertson and Reid were traâ€" velâ€"worn tourists and their latter‘s field glasses reminded one of that old classic "Two beers or not two beersâ€" that‘s the question," as they clinked, held by strap around the neck.

The AYP.A. and Lenten service At St. Matthew‘s church on Tuesday evenâ€" ing was held in the church hall, the rector officiating and the lesson for the day being read by S. G. Fowler. The address of the evening was on the interesting topic entitled, "Christian Signs and Symbols; Their Origin and Meaning." The speaker pointed out that symbolism has been associated with the worship of God since the dawn of creation. The symbols and protoâ€" types of the Old Testament were signs pointing to the "Messiah," "The Lamb of God," Who died on Calvary. The Christian signs and symbols of the church toâ€"day point back to the cross of Christ, the speaker noted, the cross thus becoming the centre of worship. The various symbols of "God," "the Holy Trinity," and "God the Son," and their use in the decorative art of the church were explained as having come down from the days of the persecution of the Christians, when Christian signs were a matter of life and death, and a man‘s foes were even those of his own household. The address was illusâ€" trated by lantern slides. At Haileybury last week before Judge Hartman, Ivan Clark, Kirkland Lake garage employee, pleaded guilty to a charge of reckless driving and was finâ€" ed $100.00 and costs. In connection with the same case a clvil suit for damages had been instituted but was settled by the rlayment of the costs of medical attention, etc., for the Chinaman who was knocked down and injured by the car driven by Clark at Kirkland Lake some three months ago. Next week being Holy Week, it is exâ€" pected that the members of the A.Y. P.A. will attend the various services arranged.
