Some idea of the high class of racing: thatâ€"will be provided at Dufferin Park, where the sevenâ€"day running race meetâ€" ing gets under way on Saturday, June 19th, is had from the fact that no purse at the meeting will be of less than $700 value, placing the popular Toronto halfâ€" mile track on a par with Woodbine, Long Branch and other leading mile tracks and ahead of octhers where the minimum purse value is $600. Inciâ€" dentally that was the minimum purse value at Dufferin last year. The total purse ~distribution has also takenrn a jump this year, bheing $1,500 in expess of that given away at the 1936 spring session, this season‘s tatal being $35,800. Lowest Purse $700 at Dufferin Track There will be at least one twoâ€"yearâ€" old race every day, generally the openâ€" ing event of the programme, the juveniles being asked to travel at least five furlangs. The majority of the races will be over a route, however, and thaose who like to see the horses go round and round three or four, and even five times at this halfâ€"mile track will have their wishss gratified on numerous ccgasicns, These long disiance events have proved deservedly popular.

Opening day no less than" $5,400 will be distributed among the horsemen, with $5,200 on closing day and a similar amount on Wednesday. Five thousand dollars will be hung out in prizes the other four days of the meeting. The biggest purse "of the meeting will be a $1,000 handicap opening day. Every day will see one or two feature events run off. Most of the horses racing now at Long Pranch, and many that displayed their prcewess at the Woodbine and Thornâ€" cliffe tracks will take in the Dufferin sport, while quite a few others are comâ€" ing in from out cf town. ©Dufferin isn‘t big enough to anzcommodate all the horses, so many are stabled at the three cther Tcronto tracks and will be vanned daily to Dufferin, free of charge, to fill engagements, George Hay announced. Says First Discovery of Geold in Canada by Woman Sentenced for Assault on Woman at North Bay daily until the last Saturday, June 26th, when there will be staged the "Second Endurance Test." This test is at two miles and a sixâ€" teenth=â€"and an unusual feature is that there‘will be no fewer than six money splits, with an extra $25 to the trainer ¢f the winner. The purse is $800 of which $525 to first horse, $100 to secand, $75 to third, $45 to fourth and $15 each to fifth and sixth. These long distance events brought out the best rcuters in these parts and providea some stirring racing. The tests really start at Long Branch, where next Tuesday, June 15th, will be staged a razce at two miles and seventy yards with the same purse conâ€" ditions as the Dufferin event. Other distance races at the Dufferin meeting will be at mile and a sixteenth, a mile and a furlong, a mile and three furlongs and a mil and fiveâ€"sixteenths, in fact no fewer than eighteen of the fcrtyâ€"nine races will ‘be at a mile and a sixteenth or over. Which means that only horses in the pink of condiâ€" tions and bred to go route can hope to earn anything worth while at Dufâ€" ferin Park. The scene of the discovery was upon the bank of a small stream flowing into the Chaudiere River. Mrs. Gilberts‘ disâ€" covery caused a mild stampede and members of the Royal Engineers (then staticned in Canada) were instructed t repsrt on the discovery. They reâ€" ported that the quartz vein showed gold values and that there was a very high prokability of gold being discovered in other parts of Canada. Ernest Leonard, Ottawa, was senâ€" tenced to two years‘ imprisonment with 20 lashes when he came before Magisâ€" trate J. H. McCurry Saturday morning an a charge of assaulting a Northn Bay woman on the evening of June 4. Leonâ€" ard pleaded guilty in ccurt on June 5. and was given a remand of a week. His only defence was that he was drunk at the time. ‘Fort Francis Times:â€"The crowd will eympathize with you if you fall down, but it will walk all over you if you are scontent to stay down. Aristocrat Ice Cream at all dealers and Sons Limited l At the Kiwanis Fair in the skating rink here ten years ago, 3400 pesple were present at the apening day. There werse over 200 babies entered for the first day‘s contest, 6 to 1z months old. The crowds that thronge«c tne rink from the opaning to the close were deâ€" dighted with the event.. The special items included: The Baby Show, North Country Exhibits, Boxing Bouts, Folk and Classic Dancing, Cooking Contest, Fashicn Show, Gypsy G:ris and Forâ€" tuneâ€" Tellers, â€"Japanege /Zze« oom, Kiâ€" wanees, Race Meet and other excellent | features. At the regular meeting of the council ten years ago it was desided that angle parking would be tried out on two of the town streets a block on Pine street ard a block on Cedar street. Third aveâ€" nue was made a through street and there was to be no parking in front of the public sghcol on Fourth avenue. The angle parking worked well enough for a time, but resently it was found to inâ€" terfere with the greatlyâ€"increased tra{â€" fic, and so this year (ten years after the trial given to angle parking) this form of parking was ordered disconâ€" tinued altogether. Ten years ago, the body of little Hugo Hill, the fiveâ€"yearâ€"old son of Mr. and Mrs. Chas. Hill, 68 Main aveâ€" nue, who was drowned from the dock of the bridge, was found by men working on the boom at McChesney‘s mill. There was very general regret at the sad death of this little fellow and hopes were expressed that there would be no more fatalities in connecâ€" tion with the river. Unfortunately, ncwever, eacsh year seems to see one or more of these unfortunate acciâ€" dents, despite all the care that may be given to preventing tragedies in the watex. 2 annual memorial services ten years azo were held at the Timmins ccmetery. Despite the unpleasant weaâ€" ther, the services were largely attendâ€" ed. The services were conducted by Rev. J. D. Parks, of the United Church, and Rev. M. R. Hall, of the Baptist Church, Adjutant Crowe of the Saivaâ€" tion Army, and Rev. Ivan Kennedy of the United Chruch. The Timmins Citiâ€" zens Band was present for the occasion and played suitable music. In a fire at the Reed Block ten years ago, two lives were lost and there was damage of $65,000. Miss Mary McKeown fell from the third storey window, and died from injuries some days later. Mr. Wm. Oke was suffocated by the smoke in his room in the building. The fire had apparently started in the basement, and several other people had very narâ€" row escapes. At an early hour on a Tuesday ten years ago, the pressure of itce caused one of the walls of the Union Coal Co. ice warehsuse to give way, and those in the neighbourhood who were aroused by the noise were anxious for a time, fearing that some azcident had occurâ€" (}c;d. No serious damage was done and the injury to the wall was soon repaired. The noise made by the collapse of the wall, hcwever, certainly roused the whole district and for a time there was considerable fear that a serious acciâ€" dent had ccsurred, the very fact that the nature of the accident being inâ€" known to most of those roused by the ncise adding to the alarm. Mr. John Janes captured a live wolf in the Red Lake area, and while it was in its crate ready for shipment to Toâ€" ronto, Mr. Johes petted the animal and said that he was quite tame. No one else seemed eager to make friends with the wolf, however. Mr. Jones held that some of the animals in some of his dog teams were more dangerous than this particular wolf, which in very short time had become very tame and The football match between the Corâ€" nish Oneâ€"andâ€"All and the Holly Recs ten years ago resulted in a win for the latter, the score being oneâ€"nil. Owâ€" ing to the condition of the weather and the field, the match was played a half hour each way. The only goal of the match was made in the dying minutes, being a pass from Meredith from the wing to McWhinnie, who scored, giving Leonard no chance to clear. At the baseball game between South Porcupine and MciIntyre in the Temisâ€" kaming Baseball series ten years ago, the win was taken by MciIintyre, 8 to 6. Then, as in the years since, the Mcâ€" Intyre had a good team that always could be depended upon :o pult up good exhibition of baseuail. Mcintyre, however, by no means had it all its own way in the T.BL. baseball as the other teams were lively and able and made A lozal lady ten years ago complained akcut the free way in which a man claiming to have been out only a short time from Finland dealt with moneyâ€" his own, and that of cthers. He called cn the lady. one day, flashed a large roll of money, and agreed to loan some of this money, that he said came from his uncle‘s estate, to the lady. The lady hid the $500 he lent her with her preâ€" vious savings of $175 and left the house to purchase food. When she returned the man was gone, so was the $500, and so was the $175! quiet and seemed to be of a kindly, Sault Ste. Marie wolf type of disposiâ€" Ten years ago, Deputy Fire Marshal Major Nealon, of FToronto, came to town and was conducting an enquiry into the fire at the Reed Block. A large number of witnesses were heard und the whole matter had been gone into thoroughly. As a result of the enquiry a charge of arson was commenced against one of the occupants of the building, but when the case came to trial at Cochrane the accused was acquitted. Ten years ago the first part of the High School examinations were over at South Porcupine. At the council meeting there were many important matters dis:ussed, among them the question of giving water connection to a house which was an extra thirty feet away from the regular distance from the water main. Another matter dealt with was the questisn of the collection C taxes. years ago the Kingston hotel reâ€" cpened under new management. Wm. Haas, the new proprietor, had put the hotel in firstâ€"class shape. Mr. and Mrs. Haas were also the owners of the Rusâ€" sell hotel in town at thie vime. A very pretty wedding was solemnized ten years ago at the Trinity United Church, chumacher, when Miss Ruth Nelson, eldest daughter of Mr. Alex Nelson and the late Mrs. Neison, beâ€" came the bride of Mr. William Rithers, of Gold Oentre. The cerem:ony was perâ€" formed by Rev. Ivan Kennedy. Miss Lilia Kallio attended the charming young bride, while the groom was supâ€" ported by Mr. Jask Gilbert.
