Victoria Day 1920 VICTORIA DAY in Dryden was celebrated in a very fitting man- ner by a day of sports arranged by the athletic association. Although the day was cloudy the rain held off, and everything went like clockwork. The games and other contests started in good time. The pres- ence of the Town band was the only thing lacking to complete the picture, and regret was ex- pressed by a major portion of the crowd because of its absence, Competition was keen, but there were far too few entries Following is a list of the prize- winners :-- 100 yds dash,E. Dickson, T. Hart nett. : 3-legged race, Dickson - Hartnett-Russell. Hop - step - and - jump, Dickson, Hartnett. Hurdles, Dickson, W. Quirk. ~ High Jump, Dickson, Hartnett, Half-mile race, Dickson, Barber. Thread-needle race, Jack -- Miss Oliver; W. Case -- Mrs H. A. Wilson. J. O. Gough had a booth on the grounds, and the wants of the crowd were efficiently catered to by Messrs J. Hesford and L.-A. Bigelow. Rehill, Football. The match between Keewatin and Dryden was the big event of the day. They kicked off at 3.30, and there was a goodly crowd present to witness it. The Dryden team was handicapped by the ab- sence of their captain, F.. Foulis, They at times showed a lack of combination and team-play, which further practice will doubtless im- prove. The Keewatin team, who have been in longer training, put up a Yery good game in this res- pect. Hart (centre) scored the first goal for Keewatin ten min- utes after the game started. Chas. Elsie, defending the home goal, had a busy time at this stage, while Scott of the opposing eleven was resting up. M. Bailey was on the job as us- ual with his megaphone, coachign the boys and acting as cheer leader. At half-time McNaughten, the Keewatin manager, was right there with the oranges for his men, but we didn't notice any- body crowding the Dryden bunch with any similar freshener. Des- pite this neglect the home team put up quite a scrap, and held the score low. Their strong defence was sustained right through=the game. The contest drew a 'greater measure of interest than usual, and is a good augury for the fut- ure of the game here. The score at the final blow of the whistle stood at 2--1 in favor of Keewa- tin, ° : : : Dance. To wind up the day a Dance was held in the evening in the pulp mill hall to music supplied by the Dryden orchestra--which, by the way, was the more enjoy- able after a period of dancing to gramaphones. A large: crowd attended, and a rollicking tithe was spent. The lunch provided .by Mrs Humphries deserved and received special mention." It was excellent and altogether "different. Mr - M'Naughten of the Keewatin ag- gregation, seized this opportunity to thank the D.A.A.A. for their hospitality, and invited the Dry- den team to Keewatin on July Ist. Nota Bene. The D.

Mr BIGGS, minister of public works and party will arrive in Dryden at 8 o'clock Sat- urday morning. Peter Heenan, M:P.P., is also expected, and Hon. Beniah Bowman, Minister of Lands, Forests and Mines, may accompany them. The Mayor, at a gathering of citizens on Tuesday night, drew up a schedule to make the most of the short time at their disposal, as the visitors, who include the wife of the minister, are only ex- pected to stay from 8 to 3.30 p.m. The following is the plan of the day's events: Dryden citizens will furnish a number of automobiles, and will meet Mr Bigg's private carm on No. 3. After a short, informal re- ception the party will be taken on a short tour of the farming section by way of Oxdrift, returning to Dryden before noon. The next stage calls for a trip across Lake Wabigoon, to be made in the launches kindly lent by Mr Pitt and others, accommodation being 'provided for all citizens desirous of accompanying the party. The boats will head for Contact Bay, where a landing will be made to see the gold mines. The offer of Mr Robt. Wachman to furnish lunch for everybody has been ac- ceted by the Mayor's committee, and a bountiful spread will be provided for the whole party. The return trip to town will be made in time to allow the visitors to board the 3.30 train for the west. Hon. Mr Biggs visit to this district is in the interest of more and better roads. It is hoped that after he has seen our farms he will be impressed with the importance of assisting the district to get what we have striven for so long --Good Roads. .

Dryden's ablity to furnish two such splen- did sprinters shows that from an athletic standpoint as well as in other ways, the northern town is surely on the map of Canada, and bound to do big things in the very near future. Alfred Pitt and other live wires of Dryden, as well as the runners themselves, deserve considerable credit for their effort and enterprise in this matter," Local Athletes Compete in big Times-Journal Ten Mile Road - Race at Fort William. Two local athletes, Dave Currie and George Wyce, journeyed to Fort William on the 24th to com- pete in the annual Times-Journal road race, held in that city. The boys arrived there safe and sound, and were conducted to the Y.M. C.A., a magnificent four storey brick building, in which may be found all that the heart of any athlete could desire, Hot and cold water with showers on each floor ; in the basement more shower baths and a large swimming pool ; on the main floor a large gymnas- um fitted up in modern "style, with all sorts of training equip- ment under the supervision of a first-class instructor. Mr Thomp- Y.M.C.A,, extended 2 cordial wel- come to all the boys, and invited us to 'make ourselves at home--- which we did. in landing any of the coveted tro- phies, our boys ran a good race, and were game to the finish. Dave Currie managed to take fifth place and with a better chance to train at home, better attention and less work, as well as more assistance from our citizens, Dave would have had a splendid chance for at least second money. So let wus see in future that if these events are to be contested by local boys, we put our best efforts to the who is game enough to come out and tackle a ten mile proposition is handled properly and backed to the limit. : Ed Lawrence of Montreal, who copped first prize, is a beautiful type of long distance runner, nice- ly developed and well trained, and had no trouble stepping the ten miles off in less than 57 minutes.
