The general standard of cleverness and originality in the makeâ€"ups was so high that the judges had practically an impossible task in awarding prizes. They felt in choosâ€" ing the winners that many others about equally as good had to be left out. However, the hig crowd did not care particularly as to who got the prizes; all were simply out to have a big evening of fun and happiness. And they had it. The prize winners were :â€"Best Dressed Lady,â€"Mrs. Cowan. Best Dressed Gentleman,â€" Mr. T. Young.

Fuller, and being actively connected with the mining brokerage business for the past ten years. He knew everybody, was friends with everybody, and knew the mining and financial game from Start to finish. He was prominent in social, fraternal, sporting and other circles and he and Mrs. Heppleston will be much missed here. His active interest in hockey and baseball, There were â€" several _ important changes made in the personnel of the staffs of the Arthur E. Moysey Co. offices during the past few days. Mr. Mr. J. Heppleston, m\mager of the Timmins office since its establishâ€" ment here, has been transferred to Ottawa to be manager of the new office opened at the Capital. City. Mr, A. E.

Thert will be several race meets here this summer, with the usual big purses for trials of speed Last year there was much interest in the racing at Dalton‘s Track. This year the interest should be much greater in view of the addiâ€" tional horses now available. The Camp already had a number of speedy horses, and with the six brought in by Mr. Dalton, and the others likely to come in from outside points, there should be lively contests here. Owâ€" ners of race horses outside will do well to consider a visit to Timmins if they are looking for races with pep and speed and a chance for a neat purse. h en mm ts ue ce age m s > (Mr. and Mrs, E.

From the general public interest it 1s like»ly that this Spring Motor Show will be an annual event in Timmins. and other sports were of more adâ€" vantage to the town and to good sport than is perhaps generally recognized. Keen, alert and publicâ€"spirited, J.H. will be an acequisition to his new home ecity of Ottawa. Mr. Riddell was also highly regarded and popular and reâ€" gret at his depatture is also very general. The good wishes with which they are followed and the rgret at their removal was evidenced on all sides last week. They both left for their new posts on Monday morning. Mrs. Heppleston will leave later to join her husband in Ottawa.
