Such a league was formed a ation of a lacrosse league in tue disâ€" triet. Such a league was formed a eouple of summers ago, and the public thoroughly enjoyed the good sport that resulted.

MATINEZ In order that every school girl and boy in Timmins, Schumacher and South Porcupine can see ‘‘The Girl in Red,"" the 1.O.D.E. and Mr. Bird have made arrangements to play a matinee Thursday afternoon, May 19th. ‘The play and all the beautiful specialties will be produced. Performance will start promptly at 3.15, ~Adults will be admitted at night prices. Children will dbe:admitted at reduced prices. Last week theâ€" extra equipment bought recently at Hamilton by Fire Chief Borland arrived here for the Timmins Fire Dept. and was duly inâ€" stalled. This equipment was necessâ€" ary here on account of the growth of the town and Hamilton was disposing of sopme good stuff at a bargain on acâ€" count of recently installing ‘motor trucks in that city‘s fire department. The equipment includes a ladder truck with a large supply of ladders and a new hose truck for the departâ€" ment here. The ladders include a 40â€" foot ladder, a 30â€"foot ladder, ia 2%â€" foot ladder, a 20â€"foot ladder and some shorter ones. The longer ladders are absolutely necessary in this town these days on account of the increasâ€" ing number of high buildings. A ladâ€" der truck has long been needed here, as the necessary accommodation for ladders could not be made on the hose truck. The newlyâ€"acquired équipâ€" ment will all be reâ€"painted and put in the best of shape; generally and will make the Timmins Fire Dept. probably the best equipped firefightâ€" ing force in the North Land. Fire Chief Borland, speaking of the barâ€" gain secured, says that the ladders alone, would cost more in the ordinâ€" ary way than the price paid for the whole outfit. The Fire Hall here is not commodious enough now to house all the equipment, so the fire engine will be housed in an addition at the rear of the hall. The new horse reâ€" cently purchased for the department is turning out well and promises to be a valuable addition to the Fire Bricade efficieney. A private car, in which a group of directors of the Bank of Nova Seotia are touring the North Land, stopped at Schumacher during the weekâ€"end. The party included the viceâ€"president, Mr. G. 8.
