The Junior Orchestra proved equally popular and fully deserving ‘of the appreciation â€" given. ‘The selections by the young people were very effecâ€" tively given and reflected high credit on the talent of those in the Orchestra and the good tuition of Prof. Sehroeâ€" der and his »staff. The Novelty Orâ€" chestra (the Misses Porter, Partifolo, Lacaste and MeCarthy and Messrs. Holland and Lutes) were very enâ€" thusiastically encored and fully meritâ€" ed the approval shown, the work of this orchestra being very attractive and pleasing. The String Quartette was another musical combination that delighted all by the good music rea= dered. [Mpys., Harris gave a very pleasâ€" ing rendition of a voeal solo that was given a marked encore, the audience appreciating the fine voice and the talented interpretation of the selecâ€" tion.. The Cello solo, ‘*Queen of the Earth,‘‘ by Mr. J. R. Newman, was another number of particular inter est â€"and execellence. Two â€" ofâ€" the younger pupils of Mr. Schroeder who made very decided hits with the audiâ€" ence were Miss Lillian Rohbitaille and Master â€" Willie Shub. Miss â€" Lilian Robitaille is apparently a natural genius at the piano and this little girl at each succeeding public appearance shows so marked a development of musical talent as to win increasing appreciation. Her work as a pianist Sunday was a remarkable tribute to her own talent and the exâ€" cellence of her tuition. Master Willie Shub also showed remarkable gift as a violinist and found very general favour for his finished work on the violin. Another violin soloist to win very hearty approval was Mr. Dubiet whose selections were very effectively given. Those who left before the conclusion of the programme missed vielin recital by Prof. H. F. QChroe der and the horn solo byâ€"Mr. 8. Johns. Prof. Schroeder again endenced his outstanding gifts as a violinist, his work on the violin being one of the special delights of the evening to the lovers of fine music.

With this paurpose in view a committee at South Poreuâ€" pine have taken the matter in hand and are making arrangements to hold a dinner on Wednesday, April 9th, at Squth Poreupine.

A vote taken among those attending the supâ€" per would have been unanimous in praise and approval of the excellent supper served and the efficiency of the service. This year‘s supper was a special.

ANNIVERSARY SERVICES PRESBYTERIAN CRURCH This year promises to eclipse prevâ€" ious years in the numiber and interest of the entries for the Porcupine Dog Race event on Raturday. Last week Earl Bridges, winner of the trophy and the $1,000,00 cash prize for first place in the Quebece Dog Derhy, arâ€" rived here to compete in the Poreuâ€" pine event. He was accompanied by Mr. Theo Dupas, a wellâ€"known, dog teamn owner and driver from The Pas, Manitoba. Mr. Bridges, who is only 17 years of age, has a team of eight dogs of mixed breed, the animals beâ€" ing of the huskie and hound type. They were pups raised by Walter Goyne, ‘*‘the Alaska Kid,"" famous as ing of the huskie and hLbound type. They were pups raised by Walter Goyne, ‘‘the Alaska Kid,""‘ famous as a winner in dog team races at The Pas, Manitoba, and elsewhere. While the Quebec Race was the first big event in which Earl Bridges‘ team competed they showed then such unâ€" usual speed and talent to win very general notice.â€" Nince their arâ€" rival in town this team has won very considerable notice and interest and their daily runs never fail to attract a crowd, while there is also a general tendency to desire to visit the anâ€" imals at their quarters in the town building behind the fire hall. On their arrival here, Messrs. Bridges and Dupas were secured accommodaâ€" tion for themselves and team. It is the intention to divide the team for the Poreupine Dog Race, Mr. Bridges to drive five and Mr. Dupas to take the other three. The rule for the Porcupine Race is ‘*not less than two nor _ more. than six dogs.""‘ _ It is doubtful if the Dog tace Comumittee would have insisted d s upon this rule if Messrs. Bridges and. Dupas had made any particular obâ€" jection, but they didn‘t. Indeed, all the way through they have won a finc name for themselves as good sports and good, fellows. _ They â€"may put one team in the Freight Race, and then ed from Cochrane, Matheson and other _ points. The local _ entries promise to ‘be unusually interesting this year. W. Martin, winner of the speed event for six years, will have x team in this year again.. Another team will be entered by H. Darling. Former competitors in the race, such as J. Landers, . E. Myers, and others are expected to be again in the runâ€" ning and to add to the interest of the contest. J. Theriault has récently had unusually bad Inck with his dogs, losing more than one by having them stolen, but he is still in the race. He has a big black. Dane, powerful and swift, and this week he secured a mate to make a team}, and will run in the race Saiturday. The Great Dane the prize{is such a speedy and powerful racer that with a week or tfwo‘s training Joe might wel) be in the actual conâ€" test for first place, but even as it is, without chance for aceustoming the two dogs to travelling together, there will not be Niuan.\'- of the teams that will have to wait on the Theriault team very much. Another local team that is said t» be much out of the ordinary is that to be entered by Mr. St. Pierre, of the Hollinger Townsite.

J. Duval, Schuâ€" macher, refereed the game and was tair. The first period saw the Holly leading with one goal, the Town still standing at zero. ‘The second period closed with both teams tied, and the zame still in doubt. The third proâ€" duced the fastest ‘hockey, the seore being tied until five minutes from time, when Lillie sent in the winning zoal for Timmins. The game was fairly clean, though Jacobs and Desâ€" ormeaux seemed to have a desire to mix it whenever they were near each other, the referee sending them to the box on two occeasions for a rest. Hoggarth and Carlin tried eonclusâ€" ions as the final gong rang. The Holâ€" linger had more pepalties than the Town during the evening. The goals scored for Timmins were by Campbell, Portelance, Burns and TLillie. Timminsâ€"Hoggarth, goal; Lillie and Campbell, defence; Gervais, cenâ€" tre; Portelance and Burns, wings; Desormeaux, spare, In past years moceasin dances have proven very popular, and so a good crowd may be expected â€"for the first moceasin dance this season af the Timmins Rink, the event to be held toâ€"morrow (Thursday) evening. Daneing will commence at 9 p.m., and the best of music will be provided for the occasion. The Rink will be speâ€" cially decorated for the event, and special features will ‘add to the pleaâ€" sure of the first moceasin dance of the season. Small Crowd at Good Match Between Hollinger and Timmins Last NMight.

Many attending the event are quite decided in classing it as the best event of itsy kind ever held in this part of the North Land.

Special interest in town has been given to the iarge sleigh they use and the method of hitching the dogs. «This method is the Alaska hitch, two dogs abreast.

The Mayor‘s comments between numbers added to the entertainment of the evening, his witty sallies eontributâ€" ing to the pleasure of the event.
