Haileybury, in fact, carried off _the honors of the day, and â€"the work of the Haileybury Brigade won <n merit: [roquois Falls won the two baseball matches, beating Cochrane 23 to 0, and the Meemaks, a Northern Quebee bunch of stars, 5 to 0. In football the Falls also won out. Troquois Falls also received the prize forâ€" the hest band, the other bands of the disâ€" trict not competing. «Nois Kalls, S1Qo t up, i+ second Ladder Raceâ€"Haileybury, $2 time 17 seconds ; 2.

In the swimming race, Joe Brennan of the Timmins Brigade, won first, and reâ€" ceived the medal for this event. In the Wagon Race and in the Ladder Race, Timmins won third prizes, the latter being a cup. The first prize for the Reel Race is also a handsome silâ€" ver cup, valued at $50.00, and so the Timmins Brigade ts year added a few to the tropliies now in the Fire Hall here. one case and the hose hborses in the one ease and the hose being moved on hand reels in the other, In the Fire Chief‘s Race, Chief Borland won second, the first going to Chief Caswell of Cochrane.

It will be noted that the time for the Réel Race beat the time of the winners in the Wagon Race, the work of the firemen in each case in laying hose, coupling, breakâ€" ing, etc., being the s#ame, the differâ€" ence in the events practically heing the use of horses in the one case and the hose Timmins has its name on the Banner for the Wagon Race oftener than any other Brigade, and there is only room for one more name before the Banner passes to one or other of the Brigades permanently. If Timmins wins the banner next year, or if Cohalt or Iroâ€" Falls wins it, it will then belong perâ€" manently to the Brigade here. If New Liskeard or Harleybury win it next year, the winner then will tie with Timmins, as Timmins has won it for two years and New Liskeard and Haileybury for one yea? each. The Timmins Brigade make no exâ€" cuses for failure to capture the Banner this year other than the forâ€" tunes of war. They have nothing but words of praise for the excellence of the Haileybury teams. Others who went up from Timmins, however, say that the light hose used at Cochrane was a particular disadvantage to Timâ€" mins firemen all acecustomed to the standard hose. The clay ground was also a after the Timmins sand, and the boys here had to get anccustomed to shding around in the Cochrane form of mud. Haileybury and [Troquois Falls were more used to watching their step in muddy and slippery ground. In practices here the usual wagon runs were made in 15 and 47 seconds, 50 ‘beinge considered Cochrane had erowd, and a go First.

At the annual tournament of the Temiskaming Volunteer ‘Firemen‘s Associations held this year at Cochâ€" rane on July lIst. Timmins made a better showing than appears at first glance Out of the six contests enterâ€" ed into by the Timmins Brigade memâ€" bers, three firsts, one second and two third prizes were won. Timmins won first in the Reel Race, in record time, 5T seconds.

He does not think coal will be found in this area, as the distriect is too old in formation and is not favourable geologically to such a find, He says that it has been prosâ€" pected on several occasions for coal, but without success. Mr. Cole adds that there is a slight probability that oil may be found north of Haileybury. The temptation can not be resisted to quote Seotty Wilson as saying that sharps and others to interview Mr. Price and see what he bases his theory upon. . The mmuportancee of the posstbil ity of a discovery of eoal in the North Land is too great to be dismissed light IÂ¥. Price not hbhaving the Priee for exâ€" ploration, the chances are slim when Cole says there is no Coal. Nevertheâ€" less it inight be well worth while for the Ontario Government geological LODaltf and Engigenhart, dut ne has not the necessary money to go on and prove it,. â€" He said in lus letter that if a "‘test bore hole were put down anyâ€" where in thre tableland between Cobalt and Englehart"‘ he was certain coal would ‘be found. Around Unt Park he thought the coal would be located at 100 to 300 feet. There were some of the members of the Cobalt Council who were inclined to give the matter some consideration, but the majority thought that the Town eould not in any case take up such a matter as prospecting for coal.

Miss Young henceforth purâ€" poses to devote three months to eaeh production instead of the usual four or five weeks. Miss Young is support ed by .a east of stars. The story of ‘*Eves of Youth"" deals with the proâ€" blem of whether to sacrifice one‘s happiness for Others or to choose the eareer that means the soul‘s highest development.

In the Northern Ontario Baseball League Timmins won the first game played (Timmins at South Poreupine) and they hope for similar luck with this second game. The Iroâ€" quois Falls team, however, is reported as being an unusual aggregation of expert ‘ballâ€"players, so much of the Big League type, indeed, according to the stories told, that men well known for their skill at ballâ€"playing have been unable to catch a place on the team. ‘*If these men are not classy erough to play on the Iroquois Falls team,‘‘ said one Timmins player, ‘"‘it will mean that the Timmins team has a Iig contract toâ€"day to secure a victory.‘‘ But Timmins won against the Falls expert and wellâ€"advertised hockey experts, and what was done in hockey may be repeated in baseball. â€"~ TIMMINS PLAYING TOâ€"DAY AT IROQUOIS FPALLS.

The general opimion, growing â€" in strength from day to day, is that the gold mines are coming into their own soon, and the gold camps will boom. "At present a full supply of labour is the chief requisite and that seems to be coming.

The judges had their work eut out for them, â€"but after deciding on the winners, also made special mention of four other unusually fine babies, with the temptation no doubt to mention still others. The boxing bouts in the Old Empire drew a â€" wellâ€"filled house and were much enjoyed. The two dances,â€"one in the Masonâ€" ic Hall and the other in the Theatre Basement,â€"were also well attended and proved _ most enjoyable. The tl)aughters of the Empire kindly supâ€" "plied and served refreshments at these dances. Poreupineâ€"Dome wonmthe mateh last night in the first cup series, and as a consequence of this defeat Timmins loses the first cup and Troqouis Falls wins it by one point. ‘The game was the liveliest and most interesting of the season, and both teams made their best efforts forâ€" victory. Timmins team was weak at a couple of importâ€" ant points, and despite the strenuous efforts and the fine playing of Cadâ€" man, Roberts, Collins, W. Twaddle and others of thé eleven, vietory could not ‘be attained. The play was well balanced throughout, though towards the end of the game Timmins had the play. At half time it was 1â€"1, and then the Pouupnw-f)ume showed its determination to win this game. The Poreupineâ€"Dome played as if life deâ€" pended on their victory, and so they won 3 tol. The first goal put in by the Poreupineâ€"Dome was one of the prettiest long shots. Timmins on the other hand had to fight in its goal, and had hard luck with a number of tries. R. Sterret made an unusually efficient referee and imissed nothine. TIMMINS WINS FROM PORCUPINEâ€"DOME 8 TO 4 _One of the special features on the grounds was the refreshment hbooth conducted by the Ladies of Charity. The people were lined up three and four deep before this bhooth most of the day, despite ‘the large number of efficient waiters in charge and the clever way they handled the trade. Altogether it was a hig day and a pleasant one for all.

At the station here some one directed her to the authorities and she was soon at her destination. She is the mother of Mr. Van Alken, baker, of Timmins.

A bird‘s nest was noticed in the tree and in choliday spirit Mr.â€" Proulx cliumbed the tree to secure the nest for the child. A rotten limb broke and Mr. Proulx was thrown to the ground. He had his leg broken and sustained other injuries. He was picked up in an unconscious condition and hurried to the hospital, but died a few hours afterwards without regaining conâ€" sciousness. The deceased was a paint er for the Abitibi Paper Co., and ownâ€" ed considerable land at Jacinto, near the Falls. There was considerable excitement created here on Thursday afternoon when word came to town that there had been a vicious fight between four men on the road between the Hollinâ€" ger and Schumacher and that the dead body of one of the men was lyâ€" ing at the roadside. _A man who came by reported to Provincial _ Officer Walter Moore that he saw the man lying by the road and he was unconâ€" scious, if not actually dead. Officer Moore at onee Jleft the athletic grounds here where he had been at the Veterans Big Day and motored out to see what this other event amounted to. Investigation showed that ‘there had been a serious fight or a series of fights bet ween four men from Iroquois Falls out for a day. Quite a erowd fromâ€"Schumacher gathered to see the bouts. Evantually one of the men was knocked out and the others left then to get a conveyancee to carry their com rade ‘Officer Moore arrived beâ€" fore their return and took their knockedâ€"out comrade, who was more overcome ‘by booze than blows, to the lookâ€"up. Later he also placed in jail the other three concerned, and as a. final twist to the case the Provincial Officer arrested Mr. and, Mrs. Dageâ€" nais, of South Poreupine, the liquor for the party hbeing supposed to come from them. A raid on the Dagenais premises is understood to have suppliâ€" ed the police with further evidence of breaches of the O. T. A. In any event eases will come up toâ€"morrow against the couple.
