me.‘‘ What the strangers may have thought is not known or knowable. The fact of the matter, however, is that the Band had turned out to assist the Benefit Footiball Match. For this, and this only. The Band assembled at <the station and _ marched â€" down ‘Third Avenue and along Pine Street. in the hope that the music would atâ€" tract many to follow on to the Athâ€" letic Grounds where the Benefitâ€" Footâ€" ‘ball Match was being played. * The Band was successful in drawing some to the match. ‘The Band gave a numâ€" be of selections on the grounds. Through the acceidental mislaying of some manuseript copy last week, the following reference to the Japanâ€" ese Play presented by the Presbyterâ€" ian Bible Class was omitted from last week‘s issue of The Advance, but is presented herewith :â€" Just as the six ojclock train was gettingy in on Saturday evening the Timmins Citizens‘ Band was assemblâ€" ing at the station. Oldâ€"timers return ing to the Camp were heard to say, ‘"Gosh, I didn‘t think they wouw‘d go so far as to bring out the Band for PRESBYTERIAN BIBLE CLASS IN JAPANESE PLAY Attractive scenery and costumes added to the effectiveness of the Japâ€" anese play ‘‘Mitsu Â¥Yu Nissi,‘‘ given in the Ukrainian Hall last Thursday and Friday by the Byrnes Presbyterâ€" Church Bible Class. The attendâ€" ance was good, especially on the second night, and the appreciation generously shown. All those in the cast took their parts effectively and the musica) numbers were particularly pleasing. Master Fordyee Seott, as the little brother of Mitsu, deserves special mention for the natural and expressive delineation he gave of the part. ‘Mitsu was well taken by Miss Norma Treleaven. (Miss Fearn Mcâ€" Carthy and Miss Mabel Smith were effective as the two Canadian frmends of the heroine. ‘Mr. (Geo. Sellar, as the Japanese father, and Miss Dorâ€" othy Dodge as (Maona, his wife, handâ€" led their parts with special talent. Misses Ethel Richards and Greta Robinson took the parts of Japanese girls with skill and the part of Tasaku, Mr. J. A. Melntosh showed much dramatic expressiveness, while Mr. Clair Severt, as the Japâ€" anese priest, filled the role in exce}â€" lent way. (Mr. John Prince gave a very pleasing portrayal of a Japanese servant. Mr. Jack Arscott and Mr. Jack Cuthbertson in the parts of faâ€" ther and son carried their roles through effectively. The musi¢c, unâ€" der the direction of Mr. Jack Bridges, was a feature from the opening chorus ‘"‘In Old Japan,"‘ to the closing numâ€" ber, ‘*Happy Japan.‘" both well given and pleasing. A special was ‘"‘Japanese Moon,"‘‘ by Miss Wilson and chorus. Another good one was ‘*Yo SRan,""‘ by Miss Fern MceCarthy and chorus. The Geisha Gir‘s inculdâ€" ed: Ruby MceCarthy, Joy MeCarthy, EFvelyn Carson» Iola Dorway, Beaâ€" trice MeCracken, Maude MeDonald, Dorothy Porter, Roma Porter, Kathâ€" arine Monk, Helen Hurley, Marmon Wiulson, Gertrude Graham, Bernice Urquhart, Edith Richardson. In a hrief curtain speech Rev. Mr. Parks thanked all for their attendance and explained that all those taking part were members of the Bible Class. Mr. 8. Fergason was Director Stage Manager, Mr. James Brierly, Stage Manager and Mr. Jack Cuthbertson was in charge of the properties. Monday afternoon tiwo of the boys taken in charge in connection with the recent robbery of Shankman Bros. store, were found engaged in an effort to dig their way out from the police station. The secured somewhere an old chisel and with a brick as a hamâ€" mer were industrially cutting away at the wall of the buildingz. They were taking turns at the work and were going to it with the entenprise of a dime novel villian. It would take them a week to make much of a headway to cutting: through the wall, and they were stooped before they got a good start. These lads all seem to be suffering from silly ideas gathâ€" ered from cheap sensational hbooks and newspapers. WHY THE BAND PARADED _ LAST SATURDAY EVENING. THESE LADS HAVE WRONG IDEA OF ENTERPRISE NESDAY, JUNE 11TH, 1924, Member of the Canadian Weekly Newspapers Association. Canada = United States Owner and Publisher. Subscription Rates: ONT ARIO Telephones : Wednesday by Residence 112. 2.00 year $3.00 year News from Toronto that three specâ€" ial cars already have ‘hbeen chartered to bring former Cobalters home for the Old Timers‘ Reâ€"union, to be held in the Siulver City at the end of the present month, is ‘but one of numerâ€" ous similar intimations the Commitâ€" tee in charge of the arrangements is receiving daily. ‘While, of course, not all of her sons will return in the luxâ€" ury of a private car, there is no doubt whatever but that many of the men who helped to make the silver camip in its eanlier days will ‘be there again to revive old memories and to meet old friends will be on hand when the curtain goes up on what is confidentâ€" ly expected in Cobalt will prove to be the ‘best and brightest entertainment provided in that wellâ€"known centre. The Committee set an estimate of ten thousand guests, but indications would appear to point that this numâ€" ber will be exceeded. Naturally, with this number of visitors in the offing the question of accommodation takes on a most important aspect, but inâ€" tending holiday makers need not ‘be alarmed. Ample provision will ‘be made for their comfort during their stay in the town, and a special comâ€" mittee, 'Vsorl\in,, on these arrangeâ€" ‘ment~ is canvassing North Cobalt, Wefw Liskeard and Haileybury, in adâ€" dition to Cobalt itself, in order . to ensure that none will ‘be without shelter. For the convenience of those who purpose making their visit a three or fourâ€"day event special rates of fare and a third have been granted by the T. N.O., good to return by any train on July 2. Whose who would make it a oneâ€"day tripâ€"being deâ€" tained by business reasonsâ€"will find that special trains will be available for their use, allowing them to leave home in the morning, enjow a full day in Cobalt and be back again the same evening. This will apply to Dominion Dav. It is generally known that Timmins is the best customer of the T. N.0. in regard to passengetr traffhie in and out, and also in regard to the amount of general freight brought in. Few may be aware, however, that in the importation of such products as hay and oats, Timmins leads all the other centres on the T. N.O. All this, deâ€" spite the very general use of the motor type of vehicles in this camp, and also despmite the facet that an everâ€"increasâ€" ing quantity of farm produce is being grown locally each year.. The official) in regard to hay and oats brought in from points south and east and west of North Bay, and on the C. N. R. via Cochrane, show that Timâ€" mins is an important customer indeed to the outside world, even in regard to hay and oats. To ‘beat out any smart alec, The Advance would also say here and now that the important importation of oats has nothing to‘ do with the increasing number of Seotsâ€" men in the district. A reader of The Advance ‘has handed this paper the olficial figures of the importations on the T.‘ N.0O. from outside points of hay and oats. These figures cover a year, and include only shipments comâ€" ing from outside points. ‘They do not include shipments from one point to another in the North Land. ‘The figâ€" ures show that shipments to Timmins of hay totalled 1012 tons with 49,057 bushels of oats shipped in. No other town in the North Land equailled this. Indeed, Redwater and New Liskeard were the only centres coming even haltâ€"way to equalling the shipments to Timmins in havy and oats. ‘New Laisâ€" keard‘s large demands in these lines nro dowbt were traceabdle in part at least to the after effects of the disasâ€" The programme arranged for the entertainment of the visitors has not been bettered in the history of the Coâ€" balt Camp. There will â€"be something to suit all tastes, from races for the children to drilling for the brawny sons of labor, and it is hoped that a contest can be arranged for even the very tinest of the citizens. The drilling contest, always a feature of these events, will bring out the best teams in Qudbec and Ontario, to which two provinces the competition is being confirmed. The Firemen‘s Tournament will be staged at the Sasaeinaga Lake park in the course of Dominion Day afternoon, and three Expect Ten Thousand at Cobalt Oldâ€"Timers Event Timmins Largest Importer of Hay and Oats on T.

Football games, too, are on the programme, two of these having been given a place in the arrangements. For those who would go sailing through the skies there will be availâ€" alble airplane flights in a Laurentide machine; those whose tastes incline toward the spectacular will have their desires gratified ‘by what‘ is said to be the finest display of fireworks ever prepared for the North Country (this on â€"Monday evening); there will be the 48th Highlanders‘ and the Engleâ€" hart Pipe Bands, with perhaps the musicians from Timmins to bear them company; the annual roundâ€"theâ€"lake road race for YMC.A. Juniors will be decided at nine o‘clock Tuesday morning, July 1;, a procession of gaily coloured and tastefully decorated floats wiill proceed to the athletic grounds immediately after the event iust menitioned in concluded ; in short, there will be something to suit everyâ€" body, including a merryâ€"goâ€"round for the kiddies and for those of more mature years who yvet retain that touch of their youth which leads them to this form of amusement.

Morrisey, of Kirkâ€" land Lake, was before the Magistrate charged with eruelty in the beating of his fiveâ€"yearâ€"old child with a piece of garden hose. The youngster was in court in the care of a doctor and appeared to ‘be badly bruised alltover its little body. A remand was made to this week and this week a further remand was made.. Feeling is said to un very high in Kirkland Lake in this case. And it must not be forgotten that a president of the Old Timers Club will be eshosen by lot on the grounds Tuesday afternoon.
