Thursday was one of the most popular days of the series of ertertainments. The Lombard Enterâ€" ta‘ners won all by their music and speâ€" cialties. Their programme was varied in everything except talent and interest. There were solos, duets, piano numbers, monologues, all unusually good. The selections from noted operas were speâ€" cially appreciated. Thursday evenâ€" ing, in addition to the remarkably fine programme by the Lombards and the noted work of the gifted violinist on the programmse, there was a lecture. "On the Bcottom of the Sea," by Robert M. Zimmerman, famous for his deep sea diving and scean exploration work, as well as for his part in the filming 6f all the wellâ€"known deep sea p:.câ€" tures of the day. Any of the audience would be ready to admit that this lecâ€" ture was worth the season‘s ticket alone. It had about everythingâ€"wit, The large crowds attending each programme of the Chautauquas from Tuesday evening when it was opened by Mr. M.

The address by this Canaâ€" dian traveller was one Oof the big features of this year‘s programme. Of course, Friday, children‘s special day, was featured by Sue Hastings and her marvellous marionettes. The St. Anâ€" thony‘s hall, the use cf which was kindâ€" ly donated by Rev. Fr. Theriault, for the Chautauquas, was crowded to the doors on Friday afternoon with chilaâ€" ren and adults who were truly delighted with the presentation of "Jack aand the Bean Stalk" and other numbers by the inimitable marionettes. Anâ€" other big crowd saw the closing proâ€" gramme on Friday evening, the presenâ€" tat.on of the farce comedy, "A Pair of Sixes," by the Canadian Tlayers. All who attended the Friday evening event were pleased with the play and its presentation and sorry that the Chauâ€" tauquas had drawn to a close. THE PORCUPINE ADVANCE, TTIMMINS, ONTARIO him a speedy and comuplete return to health. Hosts of friends in T:mmins and disâ€" trict will regret that D. Lough, district engineer of the Northern Development Dept., is at present on an enforced holiâ€" day through illâ€"health. He is spending a hol:lday at Huntsville to recuperate day afternoon by the North Bay C.P.R. team, an entry for the Sudbury Star Cup and the Northern Ontario chamâ€" pionship, being sponsored under jurisâ€" diction of the S. and D.F.A., has upset the dates announced by the executive on Wednesday night. North Bay has declined to participate unless sufficient funds are advanced to cover the trip to Timmins and meet McIntyre. The game between the two teams was to have been staged on Saturday at Timâ€" mins but the North Bay team refused to make the trip. A dictum was arâ€" rived at on Saturday night by the Sudâ€" bury executive declaring that if North Bay does not advise not iater than Tuesday, agreement to participate in the game advanced to next Saturday at Timmins, then McIntyre will be asked to field the team and be credited with a win. Arrangements are that North Bay should play in Timmins next Saturday, Sseptember 9th, and on the following Saturday, McIntyre will journey to North Bay. Home teams receive the respective gates. Also next Saturday, Cwing to the mixâ€"up between North Bay and McIntyre, the Falconbridge Falcons will meet Sault Ste. Marie Sons of Scotland at. the Sudbury Athletic Park and the return game will be stagâ€" ed at Sault Ste. Marie on September 16th. The respective district winners will play® the finals for the cup and Northern Ontario football championâ€" ship at Sudbury on September 23. No more postponements will be permitted in the schedule, the executive has deâ€" clared." Sudbury Distrct F.A. and McIntvre Football Club The following despatch appeared last night (Wednesday) in The /‘ Ottawa Journal, and should be of general inâ€" terest to readers of The Advance:â€" and his wide circle of friends will wish At noon toâ€"day Uriecl McMillan, 15 FElm street, north, and Adobe Arbie, 1565 ‘Pine street, south, left on the T. N. 0. for Toronto on a free trip to the Toronto Fair. They are the guests of the Wm. Wrigley, Jr., Co. who are nlaying hosts to 500 : Ontario children on Friday and Saturday of this week. The Wrigley Co. believes that the Torâ€" onto Fair is both educative and amâ€" using and that it is of particular value to any children attending. As a treat to 500 children in the province, the Wrigley Co.â€"are paying all travelling expenses, including meals, pullman charges, railroad fare, etc., and then intend to see that the youngsters have a big time for two days, Friday and Saturday, at the Fair. Uriel McMillan and Arbie were the two chosen from Timmins, only two being alloted to this town. Full details of the Wrigley Co. plan were given in The Advance last week. It is a sure thing that all the 500 youngsters who are given this genersus treat will greatly enjoy and appreciate it, and the young represenâ€" tatives from Timmins will be no exâ€" ceptions to the rule. "Sudbury, September 5.â€"Peter Fenâ€" ton, president of the Sudbury and Disâ€" trict Football Association has anncountâ€" ed that the‘association executive has refused the application of McIntyre fcootball team to have the Falconbridge Falcons play at Timmins in an exhibiâ€" ticn game. Opposition expressed Saturâ€" Youllgsiérs Having Free _ â€"Trip to Toronto Fair Nevertheless, there is one Haileybury man who doesn‘t need to worry about guns for shooting birds. He can kill them without gun. All he needs is a rock pile apparently. This man has the name of a straight shooter. His monicker is William Burns. The other day a hnawk swooped down near the chicken pens of Mr. Burns. What did Mr. Burns do? D.d he let the hawk get a single one of those chickens? The answer is an emphatic NO! Mr. Burns simply stooped down, picked up a stone and let it zip at the hawk. He struck that hawk fair and square and the villain‘s spirit flew ayay to the placed reserved for hawks after this life, but the bird‘s body remained in the yard, lifeless and beyond harming any chick aga‘in . There has been lot of talk recently about the strict regulations against the use and even possess.on of guns. The restrictions have had some effect in lesseiiing the number going duckâ€"shootâ€" ing, for example. Of course, part of this is due to the fact that no one seems to know what really is,.the situaâ€" tion in regard to the use and possess:on of guns. One thing, -howe:fl, is cerâ€" tain, and that is that anyorf®e carrying ‘:I‘he same two teams are playing again this afternoon, the game having been scheduled to start at 4.30 pm. If McIntyre wins toâ€"day the serlies will be over but in the event of Twin Cities winning toâ€"day a third and final game will be played toâ€"morrow. The winner ofsthis series will go to Ottawa for the E.O.B.A. playâ€"offs for the Journal troâ€" phy. If Twin Cities wins out here and go down it will be a new experience for them, but if McIntyre wins it will just be the usual annua@l invasion to test the metal of the clubs in the eastern circuit, and they‘ll more than likely bring back the silverware with them.

Men on second and third and one out, but that didn‘t rattle Wood because he struck out the rext man and made the other one hit to him. Cybosky got a big hand when he pullâ€" ed cff a double play unassisted. Rice had hit safely and was perched on first base, right in Cybosky‘s corner. O‘Reilly tried to bunt to send him to second but he tapped the pill a bit too hard and popped a nice fly to Cybosky. Cy then ran back to the bag before Rice could get back. The run was scored in the first inâ€" nings when Buck was given a pass. He doesn‘t usually stay long in one place when playing ball so he stole second. Cowden, the second man up sacrificed him to third. He was held there when Quinn sent one to short. TCybosky, who proved to be the main cog in that smooth machine, rifled one into deep centre to score Buck and send himself to â€" second. Cy had to stay there, though, when Sadwski sent a fly into left field for the third out. The two big features of the game were the length of time and the lack of errors. The game was played in 1 hour and 40 minutes and there wasn‘t an error in the whole game. These two remarkable features are rarely seon here and it is rare for two to happen in the same game anywhere. Wood was the master hurler, having eleven strikeâ€"outs and issuing no passes. McCormick, Twin Cities‘ pitcher had only three strikeâ€"outs and issued five walks. Grabb.ng a oneâ€"run lead and playâ€" ing airâ€"tight baseball, MciIintyre was able to win the first game in the playâ€" off series yesterday with Noranda. It was real good ball, although it lacked the thrills of a freeâ€"forâ€"all scoring game. Both pitchers were right on, whichaccounts for the small score. Before the series opened Twin Cities wasn‘t conceded a chance but now after seeing the first game the betters are pulling in their horns and keeping seeing the first game the betters are pulling in their horns and keeping quiet. Twin Cities proved themselves a team worthy of a playâ€"off berth when they held Ike Solomon‘s champions to the closest victory they have had for many a day.

Sales . . sales . sales! Oh, but this is difierent Jack Guess where it is. 44 Tuesday evening there were only two ceontestants left in the international James Gordon Bennett balloon race, all the others having come down through some necessity cr another. The Belgian, French and German balâ€" lcons did not get more than a couple of hundred miles away from the starting point. The ballocn of Lieut.â€"Commanâ€" der T. G. W. Settle, of the United States navy, landed on Tuesday evening According to word from the South one of the balloons starting out in the internaticnal James Gordon Bennett ballecon race is believed to be over Onâ€" tario and headed for the far North. If this is the fact as believed, the chances are fair that the sa‘d balloon may pass over this part of the Ncrth and may come down in the James Bay area, perhaps in the Moosonee district. At least this is the suggestion of one semiâ€" scientific gentleman who has given the matter considerable study, or at least has talked to others and to himself about it. He bases his theory on the story of the balloonists some ten or eleven years ago, who drifted across Ontaric, passed over this part of the North and eventually got to earth at Moose Factory or near it. ~Those in the North Land for ten years or more reâ€" member all the excitement caused by that incident. It is to be hoped that some of the newspapers do not have opportunity to get so excited again these days as they did at the time the United States balloonists were lost in the wilds of Canada, living for days on nothing, but what the Hudson Bay factor gave them, and having to endure all sorts of desperate hardships to get out of the country, including the sitting still on the dog sleds while Johnnie Jones and his dog team brought them over the snow to the railway and all the comforts of a pullman car on the der T. G. W. Settle, of the United States navy, landed on Tuesday evening on the shores of Long Island Sound. ; The balloons stil believed to be in the air are thcse piloted by Ward T. Van Orman, a United â€"States civilian taking part in the contest, and the Polish ship of Capt. Francizek Hynek. One of these was supposed to be sightâ€" ed over Cobbleskill, N.Y. just before darkness Tuesday night. One of these flying contraptions is now confidently believed to be over the North Land, perhaps, in the vicinity of Timmins. It will at least be worth while watching for it. Even if no balloon is sighted,â€" and this is likely to be what will hapâ€" pen to any of those who watch for balâ€" loons in the skyâ€"still there may be compensations. For instance, a watchâ€" er may see the Northern Lights in all their glory. That would ‘ be worth for it. Even and this is 1 pen to any 0: loons in the compensatior er may see t their while Balloon May be Over the North Land. Watch for it! On Labour Day this year Kirkland Lakae held its annual regatta at Culver Park, near Swastika. There were over 2000 people presen\t at the event, and apart from the discomfort in such an affair these days, the event was conâ€" sidered an unqualified success. There was a fine programme of sports, while the baby shew roused very special inâ€" terest. No less than 150 children were entered in the baby show. Lawrence Demers, 13 months old, won the grand sweepstakes prizes for the healthiest baby in ,the district. There were six other special classes for babiss, each class having one or more cup Oor other trophies for the best. All the various field and track events were won by Kirkland Lake entries, with exâ€" ception of the race class swim in which L. Lamothe, of Swastika was awarded the third place in the class of 16â€"yearâ€" old boys. OVER TWO THOUSAND AT THE KIRKLAND LAKE REGATTA Search me Dorothy. I give up. Where is it?

His boat, Miss America X was the bigger and faster of the two crafts. Hubert Scottâ€"Paine, the Britâ€" ish contestant in a lighter, smaller and less powerful boat, made a wonderful showing and by his courage, daring and cleverness he won the admiration of all who viewed the race. The despatches say that for 33 out of 35 miles, Scottâ€" Paine drove his little pitching craft into the foaming wake cf Miss America and time after time the lines of spectaâ€" tors stretching for miles gasped and fairly screamed at the desperate risks he took, There was one horse power difference between the two boats. Scottâ€"Paine was only a quarter mile behind at the finish. He says he will be back again next year to compete once more for the trophy. Bornâ€"T‘o Mr. and Mrs. P. H. Murphy, (nee Vera Charbonneau}, at 52 Laurier avenue, on Thursday, August 31st.â€" Though the couple were completely taken by surprise, Sergt. Craik on beâ€" half of himself and his bride, very effectively expressed thanks for the handsome gift and appreciation for the friendship that prompted it, a friendâ€" ship that was fully reciprocated. Chief H. Jonres called for the attenâ€" tion of the young couple and in a very humorous address introduced the busiâ€" ness of the evening. He told the couple that the motto of the Boy Scouts was also the slogan of the upâ€"toâ€"date police man, "Be prepared." With this preâ€" lude he asked the couple to accept on behalf of the police force, town hall staff and friends, the gift then producâ€" ed from: down cellar by Constable Jack Gregson. Constable Gregson imâ€" mediately came forward carrying a cherubic smile and a beautiful baby‘s crib. Chief â€"Jones said that this was a gift from the boys to Sergt. Craik, but he had also another gift for the bride, and he counselled her to use it. On taking it ouf of the box it proved to be a fullâ€"sized honestâ€"toâ€"goodness rolling pin. After some fatherly advice on how young married couples should live and love and learn, Chief Jones, on behalf of the police force and town staff, proâ€" ceeded to the real presentation of the evering. I‘nis was in the form of a beautiful silver tea service and tray of elegant design and style, a valuable and attractive gift. This token, Chief Jones concluded, was an expression of the sincere regard in which the couple are held and the good â€"wishes that are exâ€" tended to them on the occasion of their marriage. GAR WOOD AGAIN WINS THE NOTED HARMWORTH TROPHWY THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 7TH, 1933 On Tuesday evening of this week there was an interesting and pleasing little gathering at the town hall to exâ€" press appreciation and good wishes to Sergt. W. S. Craik and to Miss Anne Rita Noreen Wilson prior to their marâ€" riage on Wednesday of this week. Sergt. Craik and Miss Wilson were inâ€" duced on some excuse or another to come to the town hall in the evening and Chief Jones succseded in attractâ€" ing their attention while signals were passed and the first thing the young couple knew they were surrounded. All the members of the town police were present, as well as Provincial Conâ€" stables Hartlieb and Craig of the proâ€" vincial force, Constable A. Fulton of Tisdale township police, representatives of the McIntyre and Hollinger police, members of the town hall staff, and others. See that Jack? Although the store has changed hands it‘s still going to be the nicest place to shop. I see it all Dot. I suppose I might as well shell out now as later, Here you are: go and get your bargains; 15 is my size in shirts. Presentation to Popular Couple Prior to Wedding Pine Street North
