CE L E BRAT ION AT, MIDWAY. Good Horse Racine and Athetotic Sports���Nelson Wins Baseball Match���Green wood Victorious at Cricket���Celebration Notes. Even a downpour of rain did not damper the enthusiasm of those who celebrated the eightieth anniversary ot the Queen's birthday at Midway on Wednesday. The long programme of sports was successfully carried out despite the fact that old Jupiter ���Pluvius did his utmost to drive the big crowd undercover. Great credit is due W. B. Rickards, the courteous secret-', ary and the committee for the succes of the celebration. Early : Wednesday morning the expdous began from Greenwood. Every kind of vehicle was brought into service to carry the crowds down to'Mid-' nvay, and; by noon the streets had a' deserted appearance for the first time in several months. Midway has a . perfect conrse for horseracing.' * The prizes ought to ��� have brought out better horses but those who en.tercd. raced, for all that was in them and the spectators were ; satisfied; The results are given below:' ' Sleepy Jim, D. McClung's won the free for.all >_ mile and repeat and $100. Roby Roy, GiW...Finch's taking second nioney. "' ' '''. Meyerv J. Richter won 600 dash, Rob Roy, C. W. Finch's'second, Minnie, P." W. McLaine's third. Arlington, Jim' Manson's, was the winner of the race for local horses, Buckskin, J. Bubour second and Little Winch, J. Southerland third. T. McCauley's team, Keightley driver, won the race for trotters, D. M. Wilkin's second and J. McNicol Ts third. C. W. Bubone's Weazel won the race for saddle horses, F. Vaughn's Nellie Grey won second and M. Ingram's Jack third. ' ' ' Jolly, Jack's charger, J. R. Miller, won the slow race with J. Vaughn's Molly a close second. Mrs. McClung won the ladie's race with Victor, Miss Armstrong's Grey Eagle secoud. In the running long jump Frank ..Coryell won first money, Victor Rider second. R. G. McL,eod was the winner fj.f the high jump. J. Richeter won the men's foot race,' J. F. Mitchell second. Jack Withell won the wheelbarrow race, Frank Fbrset second. Baseball. , The score tells the story of the baseball match between the Greenwood and the Nelson, Wash, teams. Errors and poor team; play - piled up 21 in favor of Nelson and eighteen for Greenwood. There was some brilliant individual plays on both sides but practice is required to bring the score down to respectable proportions. The match was to be between Greenwood and Midway bu, Ihe Nelson boys came ^m?!!????mm??m?m?TT?HnnHnm?n?????H??f?H?rn????nH?Tmm??!!nmnn?!?!Hn??H??n?mmi^ over to help Midway out. The teams lined up as. follows.: Edwards'' Catcher Smith Sundry Pitcher Petty Medill . 1st Base LaPlante Keith - 2nd Base Campbell Sterrett 3rd Base Hooper McKinnon Short Stop Coryell Wartman Left Field Clyde Miller C. Field Newton O'Leary R. Field Bush The most striking feature about the game was errors. The official scorers attempted to keep a record but were forced to give up on account of score sheets being exhausted. Edwards of Wc now have a large assortment of Rods, Reels, Lines, Hooks, Leaders, Fly Books, Grasshoppers, Cans, Etc., Etc, SMITH & McRAE'S, Books, Stationeiy, Wallpaper, Notions and Fancy Goods, the Greenwood team put up the best game in the field. Sandry' a new man pitched a good ball as long as his arm lasted. Miller played well iri the field and at the bat. Sterrett gave the ball some of his old time smashes driving it out in the vicinity of the Kettle river. For the Nelson-Midway team good ball was played by Smith behind the bat and Campbell on base and, in the pitchers box. Coryell, pounded the,ball all over the' Midway flat and picked up everything as short stop. The o rain was responsible for some of the errors. Greenwood team has the men that will twin the champ- sonship cup if they practice honestly. The members are all good players, but no team work is noticeable. The, old veterans are noticeable in the Nelson team and they work well together. Cricket. The cricketers of Greenwood were once more enabled to celebrate the Queen's Birthday in a manner thoroughly appropriate to the occasion, thanks to the kindness of the Midway Cricket Club, who had invited them to play a friendly match at Midway. The members of both teams were out of practice, especially the Greenwood men, who had no opportunity at all of getting a game,-so the smallness of the scores was not surprising. The bowlers had a glorious chance, of which they availed themselves as will be seen from the analysis. The Midway team entertained their opponents-at'lunch on the grounds, and at a most enjoyable - dinner . after the match at the Lancaster "House. The captains��� . Messrs.- Bergman and Short���responded to the toasts of the two teams, and speeches were made by Messrs. Norris and McMynh. The honors of the evening, both in oratory and song, were carried off by those well-known and popular veteran sportsmen, Messrs Ferguson and Sansom.

',' ORGANIZE A r once. -.������ ��� \, IE Greenwood is to have a Dominion Day , celebration in: keeping- with the importance.of the city no" time should . be lost in organizing- a committee to perfect plans. The greatest drawback to any celebration is a lack of organization. A hastily and carelessly prepared programme means having- .the enjoyment of the spectators marred by an absence of (hose little details that go to make a. successful day's sport. A meeting should be called immediately to decide whether a celebration is to be held. If an affirmative decision is arrived at every day to the First of July is needed to perfect arrangements for :i successful celebration. The redistribution bill introduced in the House of Commons makes 'no change iu the representation for-this province. It" was thought that the Yah -Car',boo district would-be subdivided but the Island members "protested against losing a representative. The changes are'priricipaliy in.Ontario and Quebec and are 'intended to wipe.out the result of gerrymander under the old irovcrninerit.'��� An explanation is due the readers of the Times for the appearance of the last two issues. Having unbounded fjith.in the C. P. R. we considered two months ' sufficient time to secure a stock of newspaper from the east. It hasn't reached the office yet. and a substitute���rrianilla paper was consequently necessary. The provincial government ��� have offered one million odd dollars to build ��� ani. all British cable but they do not know whether to rob the East Yale or the Rossland appropriation to build roads in Boundary creek. Dk. Milne and associates are endeavoring to revive the Victoria, Vancouver & Eastern railway scheme. Charter mongers die hard. Watch dogs and revolvers are in great demand since the visit from burglars. The next gang will get a warm reception. We hasten to congratulate Midway upon the success of its celebration. All that was required was organized effort. Resident;; of the city are foivcd to accept,the.fruits of a wide ope:: town policy. . "I Get your signs made by 'Goupil & Holden.' .

Chief MaLaren Organizing a Chain Gang. Greenwood was .visited by sneak thieves on Tuesday evening last and F. T.'Abbot express agent for Snodgrass & Son's is loser by $134 and a gold watch. W. P. Paton is poorer by five dollars and some odd cents. The burglar or burglars were about, as bold as any who operated in big cities: He entered Mr. Abbott's bedroom at the Palace Hotel; Anaconda and took his vest containing the money; and watch from underneath his pillow notwithstanding the fact that Mrs. Abbott and two children were sleeping in the room. ' No one heard him and Mr. Abbot was greatly astonished to find his vest, money- and watch gone when he got up next morning. His visit to Mr. Paton's was equally bold. He entered, the bedroom, took his trousers'that were on a chair near by j and walked out. Mr. Paton, thought he heard a noise and got up. He saw a ��� man running across the street and was going to dress when he was astonished . to find himself without his trousers. The same evening Mr. Madden's.and- Mr. Collins' residences were visited the same night. Mr. Collins is the only one.who saw any of the sneak thieves; He was awakened about 1:30 Wednesday morning by a man attempting to enter his bedroom window. The burglar had secured a ladder and was trying to-'raise an upstairs window when Mr. Collins heard the noise. Mr. Collins armed himself with a revolver and the robber ran across the lot.'Mr. Collinsdid not shoot as he could not' realize what was taking place until the burglar was out of sight. He watched for some time and then saw a man running at full speed from Anaconda towards Greenwood. . Mr. Collins shouted to him but this only increased his speed. The fugitive was dressed in a swallow-tail coatjinda t hard hat. \ . ;; The matter was not reported to Chief McL,aren until next morning. He .began an investigation but found no clue to the robbers. He found Mr. Paton's trousers beside a stable across the street from the residence.. A little over five dollars, the amount of nioney in the pockets had been taken .but his keys and other articles were left behind. -.���''- - ������.'������..''.'.' It is supposed that-the man seen by Mr. Collins was just hastening to. join his companions inthe city after securing Mr. Abbot's .watch and money. There ' were- likely. two or more in -the gang. That they meant serious business is-evidenced by the fact that a heavy piece of wood was left on a table in Mr. Paton's residence. This would likely-have been used if tlie robbers had met-opposition. :. ���'_��� .-. Kenneth McKenzie was sworn in as special: constable Tuesday morning. He will assist night watchman L,awder.

Mr. Taylor Deliveries Illustrated Lectures In England. Mr. Stephen Taylor who was a resident of Greenwood for nearly a year has been entertaining and ��� instructing English audiences with a series of lectures descriptive of Greenwood in particular and the province generally. The Barrow News has this to say'regarding a recent lecture delivered by Mr. Taylor : The inhabitants of Roa Island, supplemented by a large contingent, of friends from Barrow, and a few from Dalton,had a- great treat ou Thursr- day evening' last, when Mr. -Taylor gave his lecture illustrated with -a large number of views of the portions ��� of British Columbia, he himself had visited, and the views he took when resident at Greenwood City, B. C. The school room was packed, Mr. Alderman G. B. Wonsbrough, J.P., presided, the lantern being' manipulated by Mr. Irving Wansbrough.. Mr. Taylor kept his audience entertained with the wonderful pictures of the "Rockies,"' the miner's camps, travelling equipments, Indian settlements, the home pictures of Mr. Wright, junr., . and other friends including Mr. Pool, junr. and a host of pictures showing the rough life in camp combined with the good fellowship also existing there, not forgetting the devoted Church Missionary, a manly character made to be admired. Mr. Taylor enlarged upon these things in such an interesting and descriptive way, that his words and pictures, will long live in the memories of the large company there present. The lecturer was heartily thanked -for his kindness in giving his time and pictures free of charge, the object being to raise funds for the Wesley an friends who worship at Roa Island, to purchase an harmonium. Mr. Alderman Wansbrough also received the grateful thanks of his friends here, not only for his interest on this occasion, but' for the many other kindly remembrances the friends cherish for him at his place.
