Auditor Hamilton testified $312.50 was paid to the North Bay Baptist Ladies' Aid Society for catering at the dinner by the railway. He verified an item in the “special accounts books" of $35 paid to the North Bay Masonic Temple, Ltd, for rent of its hall. Mr. Racine pointed out another item of $38 .for Jack Cangiano‘s orchestra which, witness explained, furnished the music the night of the banquet and dance. This also was paid by the com- mission.

Efforts of Commissioner Armand Racine to obtainthe mileage made by the private car Temagami faLled as Auditor David Hamilton testified he could obtain the mileage on the T. and N. 0. lines but not on foreign roads. The commissioner asked for a full re- port on the car's movements in 1932 and 1933. ,_ He intended. he emphasiz- ed. to obtaLn the exact operating costs 0f the private cars. Mr.‘ Hamilton was questioned re- garding the “entertainment allowances" and he said in this regard he had. tak~ en orders from Secretary Maund. but Mr. Steele interjected with the remark the chief accountant of the railway should “satisfy himself as to the legal- ity of payments and should not au- thorize them only on the word of an- other official.” Rail cent Mr. Lee, it was testified. was paid 32.500 annually from 1927 to 1929 and 83.500 annually from 1929 until 1934 for "entertainment.“ He explained evidence given the pre- vious day by David Hamilton. com- pany auditor. that the T. and N. 0. had not set up a sinking fund for re- tirement of debentures, was incorrect. The secretary explained the revised act of 1927 gave the railway commission authority to provide a sinking fund “when required" for retirement of the 36.000.000 debentures issued in 1928 and guaranteed by the province. The entertainment account. the secretary continued, was inaugurated on instructions of Hon. G. Howard Ferguson and George S. Henry. for- mer Ontario premiers.

Wads- worth, Timmins, shows how Len Wads- worth was handicapped in his final; bout for the middleweight title at the; Empire Games at London, England; recently. It seems that Len had threel fights in the one night, as noted in} The Advance last week, and won two; of them by the knockout route. The second knockout, however, was an unâ€"lI fortunate one for in the knockout blow I Len broke the knuckles on his right hand. As a consequence he had to enter the final bout with a hand prac- tically useless. It is not likely that| the officials knew of this or the‘ de- cision might have been different. As it was, Len put up so good a showing that one of the judges wanted to give him the bout on points. The otheré judge favoured his opponent. The re-[ feree cast his deciding vote against: Len. Naturally the judges would think I that Len’s right was not what it was supposed to be. no matter how much 1 they might admire his left punch. Len Wadsworth Hit S.

Preston, old-time prospector of the North. was recently asked by two large concerns in Rochester, N.Y., to send them a complete writeup all about Northern Ontario from the be- ginning when the T. N.

Mr. Preston agreed to do as they asked him, and last week he sat down and wrote continuously for seven hours, mentioning everything of importance that he could think of. What he mentioned about Porcupine area he feels sure will interest hun- dreds who read the write-up. and I couldn't ‘use it at all. I met the English middleweight in the final and gave him a hard fight with one hand but lost a close decision. If my hand had been all right I’d have knocked him cold easier than I did the others. We were not allowed bandages and I must have forgot and hit too hard, eh? I guess I'll be home soon after I see what‘s what in Hamilton. I think the decisions against our boys were bad.
