OUR DOMINION DAY
Armstrong's Fifteenth Annua! Celebration Most Successful.
ARMSTRONG'S fifteenth an-
nun!celebration of Dominion
[lay held hint Monday in no
way proved an exception to the
list of successes on similar occasions for the i-act number of years-
lu fnet, from many point* of view
this year's celebration provided the
moHt satisfactory day a entertain-
meiit yet given in the town.
From the BtirKn.niH.ig district
the |MM>|.lt> began gathering early.
anil by' the time of the arrival of
thu largw crowd on the special excursion train at IhiiO the town wan
literally (warming with the hundreds of holiday-makers, The regular daily train half an hour later
■till further swelled the crowd.
among its passengers being the
Salmon Arm base ball team and
its liberal contingent of loyal sup-
porters from that town.
BAKU BALL.
The first event on the program
was the base ball content between
the Salmon Arm twirlers nnd the I
home team. In this event lovers
of bast! ball were treated to a splendid exhibition of the national American game. The Salmon Arm
aggregation is composed of a mix-
tore of men of varied callings-
engineers, clerks, operators, cow-
pnneherB nud farmers—every one
of whom know something about
base ball, and who unitedly comprise one of the most jovial and all
round good lot of fellows that is
ever met on an athletic field. Ab
the score shows the game was easily anybody'sgame all the way
through anil the final count- 8-7—
gave the game to the visiting team
by only a small margin. Several
errors on the part of tho home
team dne to the lack of efficient
practice cost them the game. A.
K. Armitne/e officiated as umpire
to the general satisfaction of the
players.
IIOVK' N0BBIE8.
The spsrts of the afternoon opened with a game of nobbies by
tho boys in which teams representing Lnrkin and Armstrong were
matched. This game is a comparatively new one, played on the
same principles as lacrosse, and
furnishes a good means of recreation for the small boys as well as
splendid training for the playing
of the greater and more national
game a few years later. The little
follows go into the game with all
the energy they possess and create
a lively interest among the spectators. The game ended in a score
of 2 to I in favor of Armstrong.
ATHLETIC! SPORTS,
The athletic Bports were run off
in tlle order announced and without a bitch or unpleasant feature
of any kind. I'ln tries were lacking
in none of the events and all met
with manifest interest on the part
of the spectators. The following
is tho result, in tho various event*:

BASE BALL.
At 4:00 o'olook the second base
ball game of the day began- Sal
mon Arm vs. Enderby. From the
beginning it was evident that the
Euderby team, who hml treated
Vernon to n sound walloping 22
to ll in the morning, were to be
too much for the Salmon Arm foi
lows. Billy Mack's cannon balls
seemed swifter and his twisters
crookeder thnn ever and it whb
with considerable difficulty that
his opponents struck him at all,
while the fellows from the Arm
failed to do as good work iu the
field ns they did in the morning
game. It was. however, n nice
game from a spectator's point of
view, although one-sided, and was
characterized by the good-nature
and friendly feeling bIiowii by all
the players. Walter Wolfenden
umpired in his usually satisfactory
manner. The score was 14-7 in
Bnderby's favor.
LACR0S8K.
The junior lacrosse game between Enderby and Armstrong was
anxiously awaited by the spectators and did not prove disappointing as one of the interesting attractions of tlie day. The learns
were evenly matched in point of
size, and gave a good amateur exhibition of tbe game. There was
a noticeable absence of rough play
and no illfeelings were in any way
incurred among the players. Bert
Francis refereed and in that capacity gave general satisfaction to all
concerned. The score was 11-0 in
favor of Asuistrong.
MOUNTED SPORTS,
The mounted sports proved to
be among the most interesting of
the day's attractions, A lnwe
number of entries were made und
the contests in the various events!
were so close ns to  necessitate the I
running off of sovreal lies.    The'
mounted wrestling wub especially
prolonged by the evenness of the
contestants. The following were
the winners:
Potato anil Bncket race on
horse back Josh Bliukbuni 1st;
Gus Swansou 2nd.
Mounted wrestling match - Fred
Lednc 1st; Harry Logan 2nd.
Victoria Cross race    Harry Logan 1st; (Ins HwaiiHon 2nd.
TOOT BALL
The conclusion of the sports was
the foot ball game between hinder-
by and the home team Practically the whole of tho crowd remained
and watched the game with a deep
interest. Considering the lack of
practice on the part of both teams,
some good playing was done And
tho contest was closely waged, the
game ending with Khilerby having
to their credit toe only-snore mode.
TUB' BANO'DANfJIi.'
The ball given in the I. O. F.
hall in the evening by and for the
benefit of the town band proved a
most successful conclusion to a
successful celebration of Dominion
Day. The music was furnished by
the orchestra and this together
with the spacious dancing space
afforded in the half-maintained the
reputation of Armstrong among
those who revel in tbe dance as the
dancing centre of the Okanogan.
About seventy-five couples participated and continued the revelry
till well into Tuesday morning.
The supper was catered to by Mrs.
Shary and was a most satisfactory
feature of the dance. Financially,
the band boys did not clear a large
sum, but at least have the satisfaction of knowing another successful social function is added to their
credit.
* *
NOTES OP TI1E DAY.
Prizes were paid in full and
promptly as fast as won.
* *
According to the best authority
at hand there were in the neighborhood of 1200 people in attendance.
* *
The band created a favorable expression of opinion upon the selections of music rendered during
the day.
* *
The best of order prevailal and
the municipal coffers were not replenished with the results of any
holiday over-indulgences.
* *
Joe McDonald as chairman of
the day put in a hard day's work
and to him is due no small portion
of the credit for the success of the
day.
» *
A. Shary, Asnhel Gray and Arthur Armstrong, and Fred Murray
and Frank Hassard had booths on
the grounds and did a big business
during the day.
* *
Duly ten tickets were Bold at
this station for Vernon hence only ten people were disloyal to their
own town and these we believe returned on the afternoon train.
« »
Andy Curry is nn important adjunct to the Salmon Arm base ball
team, mid his inimitable "rooting''
should certainly lend encouragement to their operations on the
diamond,
* *
Red and white ribbon- Armstrong's colors were everywhere
in evidence and the attractive souvenir badges vended by Harry
Armstrong met with n ready Biilo,
* #
Drnggisl  Burns furnished the
crowd with nent nnd   useful   fans.
Besides nu efficient means of ad-
vsrtising, the heut of the tiny made
them most  acceptable   and much
appreciated by Ihe recipients,
» *
Trips, Onmmlngs took In the nd-
mission at the gate, while Sandy
Grant and John B. Bird officiated
at the grand stand. All three
made trusty and careful officials
and stayed at their (lostB nlteuta-
tively throughout tbe day.
* *
On future occasions the towns-
|xx>ple should give more attention
to the decoration of their individual properties. A residence nicely
decorated on the birthday of the
Dominion shows that the owner
possesses a pride in his country.
* •
The weather of the morning opened to perfection, although toward noon it grow very warm.
The heat during the middle of
the day was almost unbearable, yet
with, the mercury at 100 in the
shade the program was carried out
without cessattau.
* *
Salmon Arm and Silver Creek
settlements furnished the most
liberal quota of the attendance
from points outside our own district, nnd the Armstrong people
will feel themselves under obligations to them on the occasion of
future public demonstrations at
that place,
* *
Taken all in all, the day passed
most successfully; without a jar or
hitch of ony kind. The committees in charge had matters well iu
hand and the various events were
palled off in rapid succession with
no tedious delays or waits between.
In this last respect Armstrong has
long since stood out pre-eminent
among the towns of the valley.
-« •
The business men of the town
ore to be commended for their en.
terprise which so generously assisted, to. make the celebration a
financial success. Public-spirited-
ness is appreciated by the general
public, and while some business
men may not realize the returns
for their donations directly the
most generous giver will indirectly
profit by his liberality.
* *
The energetic ladies of tho
Methoilist church recognized a
golden opportunity and arranged
for the new agricultural hall for
the serving of ice cream and fruit.
This made an excellent place for
the comfortable accommodation of
the public and the ladies were
kept on the jump. Their receipts
reached the magnificent sum of
$146, out of which is added a very
creditable sum to their treasury
» *
One thing the celebration settled for once and for all -and that
is that Armstrong is no longer dependent upon other town of the
valley. What we mean to sny is
that, while we are glad to have the
other towns of the valley celebrat
with ub and abow Armstrong the!
day exclusively as in former years.
the mere fact of other towns
breaking away from this rule and j
I celebrating on their own hook by
no means handicaps the success of
Armstrong's undertakings.

PUBLIC SCKOOL CLOSING.
Principal Wilscn Retires to High
School.
The town school closed last. Friday with titling oxerclsos. The
forenoon was occupied with tlie ordinary school work, during which
time the various rooms were visited by a large number of parents of
tho children and other friends of
the school. In the primary and
intermediate rooms the parents
were enabled to witness the methods employed by the respective
teocherB in the thorough teaching
of the various branches included
in their curriculum. In the Benior
room Principal Wilson employed
tho forenoon in making some interesting chemical experiments for
tho purpose of impressing some of
the lessons taught in the high
school course. "All work and no
play makes Jack a dull boy" has
long been recognized among the
heBt educators as a true and trite
saying, hence the afternoon was
given entirely to the enjoyment of
the children in their various sports.
That they took full advantage of
the opportunity offered them may
easily be imagined nnd a long list
of sports was heartily Indulged in
und ipiite as heartily enjoyed by a
liberal attendance of older people.
With the closing of this term
ended the BerviceB of Principal
Eli Wilson iu connection with the
Armstrong public school. For
with the opening of the new school
year he takes up his duties as
principal of the lately-established
Armstrong high school, in which
capacity will be given greater opportunity for the exercise of his
abilities as an instructor in the
higher branches of study. During
tho three years that Mr. Wilson
has been at the head of the Armstrong school he 1ms established a
Tocord for the school that not only
reflects most creditably upon liis
abilities but hns enabled Arm
strong citizens to point with pride
to their public school as one of the
■best in the province. The success
of his labors is best shown by the
•excellent percentage of his pupils
thnt have yearly successfully
passed the entrance examinations.
Prompted by the desire of a number of young people of the com.
inunily for tin
The matter of judges was also
taken npniid the secretary instructed to arrange if possible for livestock judges appointed hy the pro
vinciul government. That the
directors have in so good season
taken up details in connection with
the fair augers well for the successful management, of the affair and j
with the proBpectB for opportunity
for representative exhibitions ofj
the various products of the district
it is now only reasonable to pre-
diot that tho fair on the 10th and
11 th of October next will be the:
best exhibition that has ever taken!
place in tho Okanagan. And, by ,
the way, this success can only be
obtained by the united cooperation ;
of those who can possibly assist by
bringing exhibits, and iu this connection it is not now too early to
begin collecting for the Biime. |

A Worthy Tribute of Ettecm. f

paid to one of onr recent settlers
by his friends of his former home
It is with regret that we have to
announce the departure from our
town of Mr. G. A. Love and family
who will reside from now in th,
Okanagan Valley, where Mr. Love
will engage in fruit culture.
Mr. Love wns our rival editor
anil established and conducted the
Conservative journal published in

from time to time to cross swords
with Editor Love, but neither on
our side nor on his was there any
vemoin on om swords' point.
Our friend has lived a number
of years in this town and district
and has been closely identified
with the town's growth and upbuilding.
Some years since he was elected
to the honorable position of mayor
of this town nnd has been president
of the  board of trade for two years.
We are glad to place on record
onr appreciation of Mr. Love's services to this town.
As president of the board of
tradi' we have been closely brought
into touch with him. Ho mode an
admirable chairman and was must
regular nml punctual in his attendance.
Mr. Love is personally greatly
esteem «l by a large circle of friends
aiidai',|uiiintancesuiid his qualities
of both head and lieurt lire such ns
to end,'iir him to many nud give
him favor in the sight of most men.
The town use whole; the church;
the board of trade, und other in.

are nil Ihe poorer for the departure
of George Albert Love.
