A^aaw *j $i*vJcM* 6(YWdU| THE T PROSPEC Vol. 1 No. 34 FRIDAY, JULY 5, 1912 $2.00 Per Year Lillooet's Dominion Day Grand Success "They're off." . For three days this week, Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday these were the keywords that served to manifest the keen interest being taken by the large crowd that witnessed the best races and the biggest celebration ever held in Lillooet on a Dominion Day. From every portion of the district the crowd was drawn and the neighboring towns and settlements each had their representatives. Clinton, Ashcroft and Lytton sent in several auto loads during the three days and the contingent from the Pemberton cou ntry was the largest that ever came out that section to partake of Lillooet's hospitality and enjoy her celebration. Ideal weather conditions prevailed. At no time was the weather to warm for comf jrt and the early-morning showers kept the track and street in excellent condition. Only once or twice was it necessary to use the new street sprinkler which the committee so thoughtful ly purchastd. The town was in its gala dress. From one end to the other flags were in evidence while all the principle busi- , ness houses were draped in bunting. No expense was spared in decorating the town in a manner fit for the occasion. From the time the "big show" was opened with the parade of school children on Monday morning until the musicians played the last strains of the "Home, Sweet Home" waltz early Thursday morning, the program was put through in a snappy manner which never allowed a dull moment and which reflects great credit on the judges, starters and track officials. A feature of the celebra tion was the Indian brass- band from the Pemberton Meadows. This organization had played in Lillooet before so there was excellent opportunity to note the marked improvement in their work. Their music served to put spirit and zest into the celebration and they did themselves and their leader, Mr. Enias Jacobs, proud. Their music at the dances were especially appreciated. As usual, the horse races demanded the most attention and created the most interest, although the other events proved interesting. Good entries, close finishes and plenty of surprises weie the rule with the horse racing end of the program. No more could be asked by the public. There were limes when close finishes tasked the judges ability in giving decisions but on the whole the was less dissatisfaction among the horse-men than is generally the case. Among the other features on the program the automobile race stands first in the amount of interest created and, in fact, gave the "ponies" a "close run for the money" when it came to stirring up enthusiasm. This was an event that was new and novel in this section, and it is probable that there are but few places in the country where an auto race has been run under like conditions. The road to Seton lake, over which the cars were driven, while in good condition for a mountain road was not wide enough to permit the autos running side by side so they were compelled to run against time. And then there are places where a single miscalculation or the loss of one's head for a moment when driving at racing speed meant being dashed over a bluff into the creek many feet below. These conditions coupled with the many short and difficult curves and turns speaks well of the daring and skill of Lee Loring, driving the winning Russell, and Al Scott, at the wheel of a Cadillac. - The winners in the principle events follow: . The first race was fcr the "Bridge River Stakes" with four entries: "Lady Uren" owned by Tyee Jimmy with Tommy Hurley up; "Breasty" owned by James Dickey and Chisholm up; "Reddy" owned by Scottie and "Dan Wing" owned by Willie Frank. "Lady Uiui" was the winner in two heats but owing to a misunderstanding all bets were declared off. In the Gentlemen's Saddle- liorse Race for the Tiffin Cup, "Starlight" owned by George Carson of Pavilion was' first and "Paul" owned by Paul Santini was second. This cup must hi won for two seasons by the same owner before it becomes his properly. Results of the Cowboy Race: "Broody" owned and ridden by Willie Frank was lirst, "Brenim" owned by Francis Billy was second. The 100-yard footrace was won by Charlie Wallace of the Pemberton with A.

Charles Noel won the Potatoe Race and Willy Frank was second. In the Pony Race, WillyFrank's "Broody" was first and "Paddy" owned by Ambrose was second. A. W. A. Phair won the Prospector's Footrace. in this race each contest! nt was required to carry 50 pounds ove'1 a 50-yard course. The Old Indian Footrace was won by Johnny Sandy with Billy Hudson second. "Dandy" was first in the Klootchman's Saddle Horse Race and "Dixey" was second. In the matched race between Sandy Duguid's "Teddy" and "Starlight" owned by George Carson the latter was the winner. "Dandy," owned by Alex Tom won the Indian Sacdle Hcise Race and "Unix." Billy Williams was second. There were seven entries in the Bucking Contest. This event was won by George Campbell riding "Chess." The Lillooet Marathon was won by G. Beluid with Harold Clarke second and Lawrence Edward's thirl. This race was run over the three mil-.- course between Selon Lake ar d Lillooet. The prizes were $2?, $]5and $10 besides a silver cup for the winner and a silver medal for second Tha program on the third day- opened with the 100-yard dash for the Bridge River Road Camp boys, I.co Beluid was first and Wesley Truax was second. The ien dollars at the top of the Greasy Pole was brought down by Charles Rogers. The big event of the celebration was the mile race for the Lillooet Stakes. This race was practically a matched affair between "Lady Uren" owned by Tyee Jimmy, with Tommy Hurley up and "Breasty," James Dickey, owner,ridden by Corby McKnight "Breasty"was an easy favorite before the race but before the final heat two to one money on "Lady Uren" v.ent begging. "Breasty" won the first heat but "Lady Uren" had no trouble in capturing the two final*". George Carson's colt "Starlight" also started in this race. "Broody" was easy winner in two races en the afternoon of the third day, winning for her owner, Willy Frank, the gold moui.ted spurs donated by the Creat West Saddle Compai.y of Calgary and offered in the 1-4 Mile Saddle Horse Race; also the cut-glass cake dish given by the Woodward Dei art merit Stores of Vancouver and offered in the 1-4 mile matched race 1 el ween "Dandy" and "Broody." The 1 emberton land race, in which only the members of the band entered, and eaeh carried their respective instruments,was won by Les! e (base drum) with Willy Pasco (tenor) second. The 50-yard dash for a year's subscription to the Vancouver Sun was won by Dick Clarke of Lillooet, and the year's subscription to the Vancouver World was won by Charlie Wallace the Pemberton footracer. The bicycle race was won by A. W. A. Phair and the Indian (Continued on Page 4.) The Prospector, July 5, 1912 THE PROSPECTOR Permanently camped at LillooetB,C.

The Prospector, July 5, 1912 SPICY NEWS OF THE WEEK I Know Not What the Truth May be I Know That This Was Told to Me. Mr. Charles Camsell, geologist for the Dominion government, accompanied by Mr. A. M. Bateman, chief of the geological survey party that has been working on Cadwallader Creek, came down from that section today. Mr. Bateman's party have now completed their work in the Bridge River section and he is in town buying supplies for a trip in as far as Chilco Lake making a reeonnoissance survey of that section with a view of reporting on it as a field for prospectors. He will bring his party back by way of the North Fork, also making a report on that locality. After this trip they will go to McGillivray Creek, to prepare a report on that district. Mr. Camsell will leave by auto tomorrow. CLARKE & CO. {DRUGGISTS and STATIONERS Lillooet, - B. C- Mrs. J. G. Y. Burkholder accompanied by her son Harold, from North Fork, was a Lillooet visitor this week. Ray Elliott, from the Squamish, came in this week to take in the Dominion Day sports. He left the latter part of the week, returning home by way of the Pemberton. Mr. and Mrs. W. G. Carson of Pavilion were visitors this week for the big celebra tion. Among the Clinton visitors were W. S. Ritchie, Jas. Robertson, Leslie McDonald, A. McDonald, Jr., Robert Fraser and Johnie Pollard. Misses Mary and Louisia Santini are visiting in Lillooet for a few days. Pete Sherwood and Henry Cargile were among the visitors from Ashcroft. Walter Baillie was up from Lytton on the Third. LILLOOET'S DOMINION DAY GRAND SUCCESS (Continued From Page 1.) team took the honors in the tug- of-war. The three mile relay race was won by Tekiah's string of gallopers. The Russell car, driven by Lee Loring, was an easy winner in the 1-2 mile dash for automobiles and again in the match race to Seton Lake and return. This car made the six miles and a half in 13 minutes and 40 seconds against 16 minutes made by the Cadillac driven by Al Scott. Mr. Scott had considerable trouble with the clutch on his machine or his time would undoubtedly have been cut down materially. There was a free dance given on each evening at all of which there was a record attendance. It is impossible to give the financial report of celebration owing to a few outstanding- accounts that have not been turned in, but as soon as possible it will be published in full. "Ha! Ha! Have you seen Dora?" The champion "rain-makers"—Dan Hurley and the new sprinkling cart. Did you notice Walter Keeble, the auto magnate from Lytton, on the Third — an eight time winner as* an announcer. The one regret—Harry Keary failed to wear his long ulster. The busiest man in town — President Arthur Noel. Lillooet's real live jockey —the boy in the red shirt. Question: Was Wesley Truax, the Tyaughton rancher, swimming or running in the Bridge River running race? We were glad to welcome Corby McKnight, the Lytton jockey, on the Third. His work astride "Breasty" is worthy of mention. The one best bet—Mark Eagleson and Buster Brown in the Fat Man's race. Th« "dry-land sailor- Charlie Rog«rs climbing the greasy pole. A. G.
