All motor car owners and others interested should make a speâ€" cial point of being present at this meeting and assisting in the good work of forming a Motor Club for the cial point of being present Aat this meeting and assisting in the good work of forming a Motor Club for thel Porenpine. The advantages deri\'ed' by the districts in the south through having motor clubs has been often: noted by visitors from the North Land and it is equa‘lly evident to those who have given the matter consideration that on more than, one occasion the lack of an organization in the Poreuâ€" pine ‘has been a disadvantage to the district. For Cobalt district the Teâ€" miskamig Motor League has been inâ€" strumental in seciutring many benefits for the district through coâ€"operation and organization. In the matter of gqod roads motor leagues have ‘been sgble to accomplish a great deal, as avell as in traffic rules and regulations for the general benefit. A motor club in this district would undoubtedly be able to do much for the district angl while this would be for the general advantage of the people in general it would be of special importance to motorists. Accordingly every motorâ€" ist should consider it his personal and public duty to be present at the meetâ€" ing in the Council Chambers, Timâ€" mins, on ‘Wednesday evening, March 15th. and do all possible to see that a Poreupine Motor Club is organized with a large membership and a strong executive. ° a.Two daring robberies were commitâ€" gehere during the weekâ€"end.

MARTIN‘S ‘TEAM AGAIN WINS THE SPEED RACE. PARADE A NOTEâ€" WORTHY FEATURE. } Freight Dog Racs » There mwas much interest in the Freight Race on this, the. first time this sort of event was staged here. This feature proved of such general popular interest that it will be "made an annual event and promises to prove second only to the reguwlar Porâ€" cupine Dog Race feature. This year there were four entries:â€"Mr. Harry Darling with 2 dogs, who leff South Poreupine at 10.02, with a net weight of 235 Ihs.; Mr. J._C. Hull, 2 dogs, net weight, 237 Ibs., left at 10.0714 ; Mr. Frank Mahon, 2 dogs, 239 IThs. net, leaving at 10.16%; and Mr. Joln Jones, 4 dogs, net weight load 467 Ths. jleaving at 10 464. [Meassrs. J. E. Boyle, H. W. Warren and H. Wilson looked after the starting of the teams at South End after the weighing up, issue Mr. Darling‘s team won the race, making the six miles odd in 51 min. [The race was figured out by dividing the weight in pounds by the time in minutes and the number of dogs in the team. This made ‘Mr. Darling‘s percentage 2.304. Mr. J. C. Hull â€"came second, in 52 min., 31 see., percentage 2.256. Mr. Jolhn Jones was third in 1 hour, 7 minutes, 1 second, percentage 1,742, Mr. F. Mahon‘s team made the trip ip 1 hour, 13 minutes, 40 seconds, perâ€" et( centage 1,611. Mr. Hull‘s time would have been much ‘better, only he had difficulty with his dogs at Schumacher through the interference of stray dogs. It would be well indeed if hereafter all would kindly keep their dogs when not in the races away from any chanee of interference with dogs comâ€" peting. The Carnival Parade The parade in the afternoon comâ€" mencing at 1 p.m. was one of the outâ€" standing features of the day. The committee in charge of this feature certainly deserve the greatest comâ€" mendation as do also the members of the 1.O.D.E. who gave such valuable assistance. The parade was an unuâ€" sually good one. Headed by a handâ€" Name J. Landers C. Meyers Goudis ... Schram .. Zieman =.. . TAre .. ... Mrs. Murley Miss Martin W. Martin ... Richards ....

The a grace and dignity that made all Carnival Queen carried the honor with proud of their choice. The Carnival Queen and her retainers were all charmingly gowned for the occeasion and made a very pleasing picture. Dr. Mcelnnis, Mayor of Timmins, formally presented the Queen with the golden key to the town. As mementoes of the occasion the Queen also received a beautiful lavalier studded with din-i monds, while the retainers were preâ€". sented with gold ‘bar pins, set with jewels.. Mementoes were also given to the pages of honour, [Masters Norâ€" manâ€" Webbh and Fordycee Sceott, who looked _ very charming and fulfilled their parts with grace and distinetion. The floats in the parade were remarkâ€" able for their cleverâ€"designs and their le.\'oellence. Visitors commented on their special quality. They included: the IL.O.D.E. float, an outstanding speâ€" cial representing the Empire; Jack Allen as the steed pulling the sick aog in a tiny cart, a comical touch that included a bottle for the sick dog; a very clever float, ‘‘The Three Musâ€" keteers,"‘ by the New Empire Theatre containing a lively band of jazz muâ€" sicians; an attractive trade display by Chas,. Pierce & Sons; a handsome float ! by Marshallâ€"Ecclestone Limited ;. a pleasing design by Warren & Finlay‘s Hardware; an artistic display by the (Geo. Taylor Hardware; and striking and pleasing floats by the Curtis Drug (o., Blahey‘s, Byek‘s, Gambleâ€"Robinâ€" son‘s, the Hollinger Stores, Dalton‘s Livery, Hamilton‘s Livery the Dodge Car and other. ‘The Hollinger Stores float was an artistic creation of parâ€" ticular: excellence being a clever reâ€" presentation of the ‘Oid Woman in the Shoe.‘*~ Dalton‘s Livery took a noteworthy part in the parade and adâ€" ded to its effectiveness. The parade was much appreciated by the crowd. The prize winners, etc., will be found in another column.. f Sports on Miller Lake. The afternoon sports on Miller Lake were enjoyed by big crowds. Particuâ€" lars of prizes, etce., will be found elseâ€" where. % The Boys Dog Race across the Lake resulted in a tie. This tie was run off again ‘Monday and the places of the leading teams decided. The good work of Chief Borland and Mr. H. Darling in collecting prizes, subscriptions, ete., is worthy of special mention. The Evening Event f The evening event at the Skating Rink attracted a large crowd and proved a véry pleasing time. Much interest was shown in the exhibitions of trained leaders, the decorated dog tams, presentation of prizes, etc., all very attractive features. The Broom Ball game proved one of the most enâ€" joyable events of the winter. It was a genuine laughtâ€"provoker. The Senâ€" timentals won iby a oneâ€"goal lead, the only score made in a game that held the crowd every second. Messrs. Geo. Lake and Jack Easton were the officiâ€" als and were successful in putting some of the players off the ice, but could not keep any of them upright part of the time. Few there are who will not agree that it was a ‘*"Big Day All Day and Part of the Night.""‘‘ After the broom ball game there was a Moceasin Costume Dance. Muâ€" sic was furnished by an orchestra inâ€" cluding ‘Mr. Wolno, violin ; J. Trebouâ€" tat, drums; Seotty ‘Wilson, piano; and Gene Colombo, violin. Arl enjoyed this feature.

There are quite a few memâ€" bers of this Society resident in Schuâ€" macher and for some time past there have been suggestions for a regular meeting in Sehumacher. On Friday evening the members of the Society are to ‘be the guests of the Schumaeâ€" her members. The Schumacher people are to provide the programme and are looking after all arrangements. As Schumacher has a wellâ€"deserved high reputation for hospitality, the evening is sure to be a specially pleasing one. There willbe a programme of musical and literary. selections, refreshments, dancing, etc., etec. Members from Timâ€" mins will find the train service very convenient for going to and returning from the event at Schumacher on Friâ€" dav. evening. SCHROEDER ORCHESTRAS CONCERT ON MARCH 19th. The second of the series of concerts to be given by the Schroeder Orchesâ€" tras on Sunday evening, March 19th. in the Nw Empire Theatre, promises to even â€"exeel Ahe big success some weeks ago. WThe programme will inâ€" clude many pleasing selections by the three gifted orchestras, as well as insâ€" trumental solos, quartettes, ete. Voecal and literary selections of merit will add to the interest of the evening. The event will be under the auspices of the Poreupine Branch of the Navy League. * f CALEDONIANS MEET IN SCHUMACHER ON FRIDAY C Ts First Step in the Progress to Rringâ€" ing the Allan Cup to the North Country. ROQUONS FALLS PLAYVS KITGHENER TOâ€"NIGHT I # Dr. Goodwin is in town conducting the Classes for Prospectors under the auspices of the ®ntarto Dept. of Mines. Sosuccessful and pleasing were similar classes ‘here last year, that Dr. Goodwin this year has an unusually large attendance, including all classes of people interested in minâ€" ing. Dr. Goodwin is also expected to favour the evening classes in mining at the public school with addresses during ‘his stay here. His expert ‘km)\\'ledge of mining matters and his ability to pass on this knowledge will undoubtedly be of great value to minâ€" ing men in this district. x After taking the measure of the Kitchener team the Falls will have to play the Granitee on the 10th. and 13th. This, of course, will be a toughâ€" er proposition, but by no means hopeâ€" less. A hockey fan in town who has seen the Granites play several times this season and who also knows the Falls team well is quite.confident that the chances of the Falls are ibetter than good. He says that the Falls deâ€" fence and goal are better than either Aura ‘Lee or Granites. He also is banking on the . condition of the Falls team and the team play shown. Graâ€" nites rely too much on individual work, he says. The forward line of the Falls he also suggests will give the Granites an eyeâ€"opener. In any event he is sure that the North Land team‘s brand of hockey will make the southâ€" erners all sit up and take notice. Well, here‘s hoping! And good luck to the Falls! Thevy deserve it! iJ Great Interst Being Shown In Classes Conducted by Dr. Goodwin. PROSPEGTORS‘ CLASSES LARGELY ATTENDED HERE ‘The ‘Timmins Citizens‘ Band may be one of the special bands to furnish music at the Canadian National Exâ€" hibition at Toronto this year, The Band is in receipt of a letter from the Superintendent of Attractions to the effect that the engagement of the Timâ€" mins Band will be given every consiâ€" deration. The engagement of the Timâ€" mins Band for the Toronto Fair, if it materializes, will be quite an honour, though the excellence of this local muâ€" sical organization warrants the enâ€" gagement. At the Toronto Fair each year there are two or more bands of worldâ€"wide fame and in addition. a number of other bands of special exâ€" cellence, though not. perhaps of the same fame as the leading bands. On more than one occasion the excellent band at Huntsville has been engaged for the Fair at Toronto. The Naâ€" tional Exhibition insists on a very high standard in the bands engaged, so the honour will be a noteworthy one if Timmins Band is added to the musical attractions of the National. On the other hand by engaging the Timming Band the Canadian National! Exhibition can be assured of a firstâ€" class organization of gifted musicians with a leader of noteworthy talent. If the Timmins Band goes to Toronto this year the people of the south wili get a very pleasant â€"surprise in the way of an uanusually effectiveé and zifted band from the North Land. TIMMINS BAND MAY PLAY AT NATIONAL EX. THIS YEAR ‘There will be about a dozen cases at police court this week, the majority of them being plain ""‘drunk‘‘ cases. There will also be some cases for the Juvenile Court in connerction with reâ€" cent thefts from the Rink and storem in town. * Single Copies 5 Cents t en it
