Richardson on Wednesday evening of last week, and the meeting was made the occasion for a presentâ€" ation to Miss Wright, of the Timmins public scheol staff," says The Advance of ten years ago "Miss Wright was presented with a beautiful baking dish as a token of the esteem and popularâ€" ity in which she is held by the club, and she was showered with gcood wishes the door at a band concert held in the New Empire Thea‘tre after the church services totalled $118.55. This amount compares more than {@vorably with the collections taken in ls"er years from crowded houses in ‘the Goldfields Theatre with ractically double the capacity. From the event ten years aâ€" go the Band netted about $50.00, after paying for pictures, assistance, etc., this smount being as large as the complete total from the average band concert collection in more recent years. The band concerts have not been moneyâ€" makers, but have been presented to give the public the opportunity to hear the band in the winter time. The fact that the concerts are held regularly every two weeks has had some effect no doubt in reducinzg the returns. Ten years ago a band concert was an Ccâ€" casional event. Dr.: McInunis presided at the concert ten years ago. _ The playing by the band won general praise for Bandmaster E. W. Johnston and his men. There were vocal solos by Miss Jean Roberts and Mr. Jas. Geils, airxd a piano solo by Mr. Robt. Heason.

Russell and W. H. Wilson opened the New Empire dancing academy to teach the art, science and work of dancing. Lessons were given every Tuesday and Friday evening from 7 to 9. Some of the oldâ€" timers of the camp, men past the time of youth , but still having the spirit of youth, were among the pjuuplls at this school and at least a couple of wellâ€"known and prominent men of the town were among those noted for the rapid progress they made in learning how to dance. in connection with her approaching marriage." In this column last week reference was made to the excellent concert given at Sshumacher under the auspices of the McIntyre Athletic Association. In the issue of The Advance of May 5th, 1920, the following paragraph appeared as a sort of sequel to the good words about the concerti in the previous issue "So delighted were thosée from South Porcupine with the concert recently given under the muspices of the Mcâ€" Intyre Athletie Association at Stchuâ€" macher, that at once efforts were made to have the big success reprated at South End. The ladies and others who made such a pleasant evening‘s enterâ€" tainment at Schumcher repeated their pleasing success at South Porcupine. After the entertainment was enjoyed there was a delightful dance, the music being supplied by Colombo‘s orchestra." "For the theft of gocds from the railway ten years ago, three T.

O. line has besn so rare that the ingident was a genuine matter of news. T. N. O. employees generally through all the years have been of superior type, which probably accounts for the successful conduct of the road. A fire in a shack behind John Powâ€" er‘s place at the river caused some excitement ten years ago. The flames appeared so extended from the main part of the town that it was feared that the Pierce lumber mills were on fire. The fire destroyed the shack, which was occupied by T. Lessaur, but no other damage was done, though for a time the stables owned by Mr. Power appeared to be endangered. A bucket brigade did good service. The origin of the fire was not known, Mr. Lessaur not having been at the shack for some time. Ten years ago A. G. Luxton, pireâ€" viously with the W. R. Lowery Wholeâ€" sale, took charge of the express offices here in succession to W. Cheesman transferred to Lindsay. "I see a number of prospectors hereâ€" abouts getting interested in outside gold camps, "The Advance ten years ago quoted Mr. James McCann as sayâ€" ing. "I cannot understand it. If they are looking for gold they do not need to go beyond the Porcupine. We have it here. That‘s proven surely beyond all question. We have the producing mines here actually proving the richâ€" ness of the Porcupine by the millions. And there are scores of properties to be explored and developed, with the chances all to the good. For gold T‘ll stake on the Porcupine." What Mr. McCann so wisely said still holds good. « There was a large attendance at the regular meeting of the Goldfielas Nearly $500.00 was raisea in the Canâ€" adian Jewish War Relief Fund. The amount was raised by subscriptions and tag days. The money went to the relief of Jewish people in the European countries who were such heavy sufferâ€" erers from war conditions. ficsrs named at the previous meeting was as followsâ€" James Grenier, S. P. Lindsay, J. MacGregor, J. M. Bowery and B. L. Pilsworth.
