In view of the fact that on the day of the Poulâ€" try Show there were so many tied in the matter of time, it was necessary to have further contests to settle the winners of the prizes.

A. Macdonald, who, after a number of stories illustrating the supâ€" posed meanness of the Scotch, said that all this was a joke, Scotland being the greatest giver of any nation in the worldâ€"giving music, poetry, dancing, merchants, pioneers‘ financiers, captains and leaders to all countries, and espeâ€" erous quality of the food. The catering was dgne by the ladies of the Rebekab lodge, who fully upheld their usual high standards. Rev. J. D. Parks gave the Burns "Selkirk Grace" before the banâ€" quet, and also the Burns verse of thanks after eating. The haggis, made in perâ€" fect style by the expert W. J. McHugh, was borne in triumph round the hall by four officers of the Caledonian Soâ€" ciety to the stirring notes of the bagâ€" pipes played by Piper C. MacDonald. Mr. P. Larmer, past president of the Caledonian Society, was toastmaster for the evening and carried his office through in very able manner. Mr. A. Roberts, viceâ€"president of the Socaety, was croupier, and very acceptably fillec that place. After the singing of the National Anthem to honour the toast to the King, Mrs. T. Twaddle gave a very pleasing presentation of "The Star cially giving the world so many honest industrious and faithful ordinary folks. The fact that Scotland had given Burns to the world entitled Auld Scotia to the gratitude and regard of all humanity. The speaker concluded with some verses from the poet Burns. In responding to the toast Mr. M. B. Scott added a number of new and good stories, an original one of his own making a speâ€" cial hit. He spoke of Scotland‘s standâ€" ing in the world and its gifts to the world, and pointed out that Scotsmen should study the history and traditions of their country as an inspiration to be worthy of the great men and the great women from whom they came. Rousing Scottish songs were given by Mr. W. Mitchell. "The Standard on the Braes 0‘ Mar‘" brought a rousing encore, and in response Mr. Mitchell gave with equal effectiveness, "A Hunâ€" dred Pipers." o‘ i{c;bbie Bui'ns,” the rich voice and the feeling interpretation of the solo delighting all. After some stories and humorisms, Mr. D. Mackie in proposing the toast "Our Adopted Country and the Porcuâ€" pine Camp," noted that Canadians had a wonderful heritage, and with this event great responsibilities. He quesâ€" tioned the wisdom of some parts of the immigration policy that tended to fill this country with men whose ideas were alien to British ideals. He praisâ€" this country with men whose ideas were alien to British ideals. He praisâ€" ed Canada as a land of freedom and opportunity, but struck a warning note or two. Touching on the Sudbury Finâ€" nish paper that had offended loyal people by its utterances, Mr. Mackie said that the press could be divided inâ€" to three classes, the "White," the "Red" and the "Yellow." The firstâ€"namet helped in the building up of the counâ€" try, while the last two were of evil influences. The toast was ably reâ€" sponded to by Mayor Geo. S. Drew, Dr. J. A. MciInnis and Mr. Jas. Shewan, all of whom used humorous story and witty allusion to brighten their gooa addresses. Mr. Mackie had touched on the pessimism of some in regard to the Porcunpine Camp and the lack of any dancing by six lassies in Highlans garb. These were Misses Maisie Roâ€" berts, Margaret Geils, Margaret Easton, Helen Chisholim, Marion Twaddle and Peggy Shaw. They won the heartiest applause by their graceful and clever dancing and were insistently encored. Mr. A. Roberts croupier, called on Attendance at Annual Burns Bangquet at Timmins on Thursday Last.

Larâ€" mer, president last year, were presented with framed pictures of the poet Burns as mementoes for their good services to the Society. Mrs. Stirratt made the presentations, suitable replies being given by Messrs Reid and Larmer, exâ€" pressing their appreciation ond thanks. of Robert Burns, picturing him as ploughman, poet, convivialist, lover and exciseman. He showed the sterling qualities of Burns as a manâ€"at 25 years of age the willing support of his widowâ€" ed mother and her family. The anxiâ€" ous labour of the poet to make a home and keep a home, his lifeâ€"long struggies against circumstances and conditions, his literary gifts from the earliest age, his imagination, his deep insight into the hearts of his fellows, his love for freedom and for his country and for humanity, and his tender heart to all helpless or weak, were touched upon in masterly fashion. "Burns‘ poems take us all back to our old home,." said Mr. Reid, in telling how he had roamed the Burns country and been inspired by its memories and history, made living force by virtue of the gifts of Robert Burns. The address had many apt quotations from Burns that added to its effectiveâ€" ness. Miss I. Cotcher delighted all with the sweetness of her voice and the symâ€" pathetic interpretation given to the presentation of the solo, "Lochnagar," which won very hearty encore. In reâ€" sponse to the recall Miss Cotcher won further appreciation by her singing of "Coming Thro‘ the Rye." Another outstanding pleasure on the evening‘s programme was the clever elocutionary work of Miss Betty Patâ€" terson: Her first selection in braid Scots was a talented piece of work that brought very pronounced applause. Her second number showed she was equally skilful in serious selections, her gifted presentation of the recitation making it appeal to all hearts.

Miss Grant in braid Scots dealt humorously with the failings and deâ€" fects of feckless men, exempting, though one man from the general witty flaying. that one being the immortal Robert Burns, poet and man.

Thompson, manager of the Jacksonâ€"Manion Mine, and Harry E. Harcourt, managing director, were placed under arrest on a today. They were docketed at Court Street police station and then taken to detective headquarters for questionâ€" ing. The report of Mr. Rogers to the ' Government in the matter also reflects 1 \ l on a number of other wellâ€"known minâ€" ing men. The report suggests market playing by some of the mining engiâ€" neers who became connected directly or indirectly with the property or who examined the property. Some of these mining engineers it is suggested, played the market "short" after receiving special information on the property from visits there. The report classes this sort of thing as very objectionable. Some of those referred to in the report have already made reply through the press to preserve their good names. Among those mentioned in the report are several wellâ€"known in the camp. Among others mentioned in the report of Mr. Rogers are:â€"C. D. Kaeding Andre Dorfman and Douglas Wright. The first and the last named had reâ€" as well as a number of prospects. I case the railway were built, the distric would receive a great impetus for de velopment. MINING MEN OUT ON HEAVY ON CHARGES OF FRAUD The arrests are a result of the investâ€" igation by the Attorneyâ€"General‘s Deâ€" partment into the affairs of the Jackâ€" sonâ€"Manion Company. Bail for Harcourt was set at $10,000 in two securities of $5,000 each; and for Thompson â€" at _ $5,000. Magistrate Browne took the bail which was placed by both. The arrests followed Deputy Attorâ€" ney General Bayly‘s examination of the report made by A. W. Rogers on the request of the Attorney General into the affairs of the Jacksonâ€"Manion mine The charge is laid under section 414 of the criminal code and alleges that the accused made false returns with intent to deceive. Harry E. Harcourt, mining enginéer, is managing director of the Jacksonâ€" Manion Mines. A pioneer in Ontario mining activities, he is said to be the largest individual shareholder in the company. In addition to acting as managing director and mining engineer, Mr. Harâ€" court has been a member of the brokâ€" erage house of J. C. Ruse Company. His dual capacity was criticized in the Attorney General department‘s report. D. M.
