QUEEN'S  BIRTHDAY.  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.'   .

Mr. Paton Also a Loser. 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.  Chief .'McLaren is organizing a chain  gang and he intends securing members by arresting toughs, tinhorns and  other suspicious characters on general principles. There has been quite  an influx of people of this description  during the past month and the chief is  determined that they shall leave the  city or be placed where they will not  have  an  opportunity to commit crime.

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.
