CELEBRATION PROVED GREAT  SUCCESS.
The fifth annual celebration of Dominion Day by the residents of Prince George and vicinity has passed into history. The big show was a success financially, and as a source^ of entertainment on the holiday and on the day following. The annual celebration of Canada's natal dav is one of the' occurrences which distinguishes Prince George from the small towns of the province. It is fitting that residents of British Columbia should join with the other residents of Canada in celebrating the confederation of the four older provinces, which in turn has made possible one confederation from the Atlantic to the Pacific. It is even more gratifying that the annual celebration in Prince George has attained a status which makes it one of

the   outstanding   celebrations   in   the province.
That this has been possible is due "largely to the men who for years have been doing the spade work for the an-nual fall fair which is held in Prince George in the interest of the farmers of the surrounding district and business men of the city. It must be a pleasure to them to see the annual celebration of Dominion Day grow in size and favor each year. This is about all they get out of their ceaseless labor, and it is but a small reward to acknowledge the debt of the community to them.
The taking over or the Dominion Day celebration was decided upon five years ago as a means of financing the fall fair . The-motive was very commendable, and at the sjart a generous measure of co-operation was extended to the officers of the fair association. It was so spontaneous that it warranted the fair association in securing the present exhibition grounds, and in building the excellent track and grand stand on a shoe-string. In doing this work they, incurred a considerable debt for the fair association, but with the debt came a cooling off in the first enthusiasm. The- reduction of this debt is now one of the chief concerns of the fair management. It is not very much when set against the assets they have secured, but it is not the debt of the officials of the fair association, and it will be paid off the sooner when the people doing business in Prince George, who profit most from the holding of the Dominion Day celebration and the fall fair, realize this fact.
The officers of the fair association have established a most enviable record as public entertainers, but they are only human after all and will tire in their efforts unless a reasonable measure of co-operation is extended to them. Prince George would be a very uninteresting place on Dominion Day if the fair directors decided to go out of the entertainment business, but this is one of the things which may happen. Men who give freely of their time to promote the welfare of the community may be paid off once or twice with votes of thanks, but empty votes of thanks, shorn of co-operation, soon fail to appeal to them.

General "Jack" Stewart, who was a member of the firm of Foley, Welch & Stewart which undertook the construction of the P.G.E., paid a bill in connection with construction last week. The money was claimed by Nick Gog-rich, a Vancouver resident who was injured on construction, and who pestered the general ever since for a settlement. Last week General Stewart signed a note in favor of Goerrich for $18,000. He was not satisfied he owned Gogrich this amount, but a gun in the claimant's hand, pointed in the direction of the general, prompted him to sign without question. Gogrich was shadowed by Dan McLeod. of the office staff, and later picked up by the effice staff, and later picked up the police to answer to two charges one cf attempted robbery and the other of carrying concealed weapons.
BETTING BOOTHS RECEIVED
GOOD PLAY AT THE RACES
The betting booths received good play at the races on Monday and Tuesday. A race meet without the betting booth would be like a presentation of Hamlet with the melancholy Dane left out. There is something concerning the physiology of betting however, which the men in the betting booth are trying to solve. With a Monday audience three times the size of that of Tuesday, and with the big end of the race programme to work on. there was less betting on Monday than on the second day.   J. C. Pidgeon was in

The purchase of three or four pari-.mutuel machines will doubtless receive the attention of the management before the next race meeting. They can be purchased cheaply and will make their cost in a few days service in the increased money they will bring into the box.
L. BARTOL AWARDED PRIZE
IN TIE-MAKING  CONTEST
There were but four entries in the tie-making contest, L. Bartol, Fred Lockyer, Ole Johnston and Joe Lewis. It was a lively contest between the first two. Lockyer got his log faced first, but Bartol started sawings a few seconds after him, and caught up on the last cut, the four completed ties being thrown together almost at the same moment, although the watch gave Lockyer's time at 10 minutes and 55 seconds, and that of Bartol one second later, beating the time of last year by over a minute. On inspection Judge A. E. Ralph and his assistants awarded the first prize to Bartol and the second to Lockyer. This decision was protested by Ole Johnson, who finished third in the contest, on the ground one Bartol tie exceed the proper1 dimensions, and that it was wedge-shaped. Had he succeeded he would have got second prize as he was the third man to finish making, and had turned out a couple of good ties. The decision of the judge was sustained.
LOG SAWING CONTEST WENT
TO JOHNSON AND ANDERSON
There was considerable misunderstanding on the part of some of the contestants in the log sawing contest. There were three teams entered, Fred Lockyer and C. Neilson. Ole Johnson and M. Anderson, Vic Seiden and Bert Blackburn. Lockyer and nis partner thought the prize went to the team first making the two cuts of the lo[f. and they went to work with a will, finishing the sawing in 1:25 1-5. Johnston and Anderson finished second in 1:31; while Seiden and Blackburn re-quired 2:17 2-5. It developed that under the rules but 40 per cent of the marks were awarded for time in sawing, with 20 per cent for accuracy of cut, 20 per cent ioc finish of cut, and 20 per cent for the position of the sawyers. Upon this basis the judges awarded first prize to Johnson and Anderson who were about six seconds behind Lockyer and Neilson. To Seiden and Blackburn, who were a poor third in the sawing the judges awarded second place.
