Zhe late Mr. Legendre had wide cirâ€" cles of friends here who will deeply reâ€" gre; his death.

Among the near relatives surviving are the widow, Mrs. Napoleon Legendre; three daughters, Loretta, Florence and Lucille; and five sons, Valois, Aurele, Lawrence, Ubald **e sports day to be held at the Timâ€" mins athletic grounds on clvic holiday, Mconday next, Aug. 4th, under the ausâ€" pices of the TBAA. should prove most attractive. The programme as sutlined elsewhere in this issue is one should make especial appeal to targe numbers of people. It is not too much to say that any one item in the srogramme is worth more than the rworminal price for admission to all the f»>=:ures. For instance, there are softâ€" bail tournaments for both men‘s teams and ladies‘ teams that should draw big crowds. Then the baseball between mlcintyre and the Timmins Juniors will be worth several times the price of agmission. Te baseball feature will be the third arx} deciding game in the series of exâ€" hibition games beiween the McIntyres, the champions of the North and of the Eastern Ontaric Baseball Association for 1929, and holders of The Ottawa Journal cup, and the Timmins Junior Baseball team, champrons of the North last year, and even better this ygar. The first game in the‘series was won by the Juniors and the second by the Mcintyres, Anyont who has seen two teams play will be on hand if they enjoy good baseball.

With one hundred ready to go for the past | on the Porcupine branch, the full cost ronto saniâ€"« | for the day‘s trip would be the fare, on Sundary | there being free lunch served at Kaâ€" ‘body was| puskasing Farm. The fare from Timâ€" erment, beâ€" | mins to Cochrane would be given at ughter, Mrs. | halfâ€"fare by the T. N. C. in case a ‘re on Monâ€" | hundred or more desired to go. This For the past few weeks The Advance has been urging the desirability of settlers and others visiting Kapuskasâ€" ing for the Farm Day there on Thursâ€" day, Aug. 21st. It was suggested that sporting organizations from ithis camp might take in the trip and make a big day of it, as well as the Timmins band attending, but this has proved nCt practical as the expense would be too heavy. The Farm Day at the Dominâ€" ion Experimental Farm is a free event throughout, even the luncheon being served without charge, and accordingly there is no way of financing further costs than those already provided for. The Community Club at Kapuskasing was willing to coâ€"operate in generous way but‘the plans mentioned in these ccolumns last week were found to be toa ambitious. weuld bring the total cost of the fare to Kapuskasing and return to less than five dollars. If a special is run from here it will leave at about 5 o‘clock in the mornâ€" ing. At Cochrane a change will be made to the Canadian National Railâ€" ways, Kapuskasing being reached at 10.30 am. The return train will leave Kapuskasing at 5 p.m. Settlers would find the trip of great interest and no doubt of much value. Others would be equally pleased with a visit to Kaptiskasing one of t,he most interesting towns of the North. Anyâ€" one who would care to take the trip should drop a line to this effect to G. A. Macdonald, editor of The Advance, to see if there is enough demand for the trip to warrant the special train. If a hundred or more desire to take in this fine trip at a cost of five dollars for fare, then a special can be arranged for, so that the trip may be made in the one day. HUNDRED PEOPLE WANTED 10 VISIT KAPUSKASING However, it is possible to have a speâ€" cial train run from Timmins for the event, provided there is a guarante? Toronto Mail and Empireâ€"No mesâ€" sage that couid come from the spirit of Sir Arther Conan Doyle would be such convincing evidence of the genâ€" uineness of the revelation as a new Sherlock Holmes story. The worid could tell by its quality whether Conan A charge against a lad of fifteen for the theft of gasoline from parked motor cars was before the juvenile court but was remanded for a week. The boys was caught siphoning the gasoline from the cars by means of a piece of rubber hose. Dovle was the author Two charges under the Ontario Liâ€" quor Cpntrol Act were remanded to next week. f This Number Can oe Assured from Timmins â€" and District â€" Special Train will be Available from Here for Farm Day, Aug. 21st. A. Moneta man, who was accused of stabbing his daughter in the leg with a knife was allowed to go, the daughter withdrawing the charge. There was another charge of assault causing acâ€" tual bodily harm, the complainant and defendant alike in this case being a woman. One woman was accused of hitting the other over the head with a piece of slab. The complainant in the case was not able to appear in court and as the defendant asked for a reâ€" mand, the case was adjourned to next week. A fine of $10.00 and costs was imâ€" posed in the case of a man charged with driving a car without a license. Two common drunks paid $10.00 and costs each. At police court this week there were three cases where motorists were charged with reckless driving. One of the charges was reduced to the simpler one of speeding and a fine of $10.00 and costs was imposed. On one of the other two a $10.00 fine with costs was immâ€" poseqd while the third was paid $25.00 and costs. These fines will no doubt impress the lesson that in addition to being a danger to the public, reckless driving is expensive for the driver. Reckless Driving Cases Bring Fines in Court Local and district fans will be pleasâ€" ed to hear that Roy Hamilton, who did so well at Toronto and London in the Ontario Boxing tournaments, is getâ€" tng in shape for the Dominion tryâ€"outs and British Empire sports to be held at Hamilton in August, and has every chance of getting in a class which only topâ€"notchers attain. The British Emâ€" pire sports is the largest amateur gathâ€" ering in the Empite and only firstâ€"class material is considered and eligible to enter. Roy is in this class as hne showâ€" ed in Toronto and London last April when he met Cliff McWhirter, Western Ontario amateur champion in the semiâ€" finals for the Ontario championship. Lou Marsh, sporting writer for The Toâ€" ronto Star, paid great tribute to Roy Hamilton at the time, saying:â€"‘"Roy Hamilton looked like the best newâ€" comer to the game. He is a real banâ€" tam, very shifty on his feet, and can use both hands with equal facility. Roy was in with a game lad from Lonâ€" don named McWhirter, who got a wellâ€" deserved round of applause for the game way he stood up under the heavy barrage of knuckles the Northern lad handed out in every round." Roy beat McWhirter and stepped into Johnny Palmer, of the Classic Athletic Club, Toronto, for the title of Ontario Amaâ€" teur Bantam Champion. This fight was fought two night after in London. Roy had to keep in shape, with strangso handlers in a strange city. He did, and earned the esteem of every fight fan in London that night. The way this Palâ€" mer could hand it out was nobody‘s business, but Roy made him step every minute and only lost the decision by a very narrow margin. Again Lou Marsh gave him a great hand, saying, among other things:â€""The Northern lad is only 16 years old but he is easily the chcoice of the entire string of newâ€" comers in this tourney. He had a pair of agile legs, a close defence, and he is not afraid to step in and mix it. Give him some instructions in straight punching and he will be a real chamâ€" pion in two years. He was up against real class when he faced Palmer, but he kept Palmer on his toes all the way. Palmer won the title of Ontarioc Amaâ€" teur Bantam Champion, but Hamilton made him earn it." Timmins ought to think plenty of that writeâ€"up. Roy has only been boxing a year, and there is no gym in Timmins to train in. Roy‘s straight left and rights are coming alcng fast and furious as Benny Doâ€" herty learned on Monday night when Roy fought him to a standstill at Kirkâ€" land Lake. Here is Roy‘s record for the past year and if he keeps this up he will scon be a world‘s champion. If he wins his first two fights in the Dominion chamâ€" pionship he‘ll bring back the World Amateur â€" Bantam Champxonshlp to Timmins or I didn‘t know my pugs. Record of Roy Hamilton, 118â€"lb. champion of Northern Ontario. He was runnerâ€"up in the Ontario Amateur Championship this year, losâ€" ing to Johnny Falmer. Roy will proâ€" bably represent Ontario in the British Empire sports, Palmer being unable to make the weight in the 118â€"lb. class. June 25th, 1929â€"Roy won from Lefty Trumble at Timmins.

After the ceremony a bridal supper was servâ€" ed at the home of the bride‘s parents Mr. and Mrs. Viland, and a very pleasâ€" ant social time was enjoyed. The young couple left by motor for a wedâ€" ding tour in the South. On their reâ€" turn they will take up residence in Timmins. Both bride and groom are very popular in the town and district and they will receive the best wishes of wide circles of friends. TWENTY GANS OF TROUT FINGERLINGS FOR DISTRIGT Twenty cans of trout fingerlings were received here this week from the Dept. of Game and Pisheries. The shipment contained fully 40,000 young trout. It was the best shipment yet received here, the trout being around three inches in length. The fingerâ€" lings were deposited in the streams in the district on Wednescay night and will do much to help along the plan of conservation of fish. There shouis be general supr/rt of this plan of conâ€" servation and replenishing of the streams of the district. No good sport will despoil the streams of the young fish placed there and others should be dealt with by the authoritiese if their evil work is known. Everybouy can help by advising the thoughtless or ignorant against the despoiling of the youns fish, and advising the authoriâ€" ties in cases where the other advice is The Rod and Gun Club deserve much credit for the effort and interest being given to the reâ€"stocking of the waters of the district. i1181 ties in Cca; nc taken Pretty Wedding Here on Monday Evening, July 28 Forty Thousand Fish for Replenishin: the Streams of the District.

All cars were properly parked by the Bayâ€" side Beach officials, thus eliminating confusion. Much credit is due to the Northern Development Branch of the Province of Ontario for putting the bad pieces of road alongside Bayside Beach in such good condition and also to the officials of Bayside Beach for the manâ€" ner in which they so efficiently and successfully looked after the picnic. There were hundreds of human fish in the water during the day. The most noticeable part of the swimming was the number of children playing in the water and on the beach, the mothers feeling pprfectly safe to let them do so on account of the Beach officials havâ€" ing one of their employees on hand to watch them, this being one of their regular practices. The Liberal picnic, which was held at Bayside Beach on Sunday afterâ€" noon, July 27th, had wonderful weather and the crowds started to arrive early. People came from as far north as Kaâ€" puskasing and as far south as Kirkâ€" land Lake. By 2 p.m. over two thousâ€" and were on the grounds. The Boys‘ Band from Ansonville was on hand and helped to enliven the day with their music.: Mr. Bradette arrived about 3 o‘clock and received an enthusiastic reâ€" ception. After delivering a short adâ€" dress he had to leave in order to atâ€" tend another meeting. The races for the children was under the able superâ€" visicn of Mr. Alf. Snow, who with a few volunteers, carried everything off in his usual efficient manner. The children were all well satisfied with their prizes. The prize for the largâ€" est family was very difficult to decide, there being no less than four families on the grounds with nine children present. Most of these four had a few more children but had forgotten to bring them along. It was finally deâ€" cided to split the prize among the four.

MONTGOMERY, Phone 63 Although election controversies often become very heated, it is a very rare occasion nowadays for death or serious injury to result from any of the camâ€" paign arguments. At Joliette, Queâ€" bec, on Sunday, however, there was a death charged directly to the heat of election. Word from Montreal this week says that Albert Dauphansis, a labourer, was struck in the face as nc was leaving a Conservative committee room early on Sunday by a man who is alleged to have knocked him down and gone away leaving him lying on the ground. The unfortunate man was later picked up! and taken to the hosâ€" pital where he died. Edmond Hottain, who like the dead man was a labourer, was placed under arrest following the death of Dauphansis and will be held pending the holding of an inquest into the death of Dauphansis.
