SIDNEY, VANCOU VE

BOB HAS NEW STORY.

TENNIS. AND. WATER SPORTS |

Social Set Will Enjoy Tennis Tour-
nament nad Regatta at Kennedy
Home, Deep Cove.

Bob Sloan, the jovial Beacon ave-
ug shoe merchant,
for the oddity of his utterances and
the original quality of his stories.
Now, Bob has come home from Van-
couver with a brand new one.

He relates: that on last Monday
he was proceeding along Granville
street in a crowd, when he was sud-
denly conscious of being forcibly
struck from the rear upon that por-!
tion of his anatomy where his legs
meet his spinal column. Thinking
that he had collided with sqmeone
he started to say, “I beg your par-
don,” but before the words were out
of his mouth he had been lifted bod-
{ly from the street and fer a mo-
ment sat astride of a speeding au-
tomobile wheel that had disengaged
itself from a car and run amuck.

The wheel sped on and Bob did
a backward flop to the pavement.
A crowd quickly gathered, but he
picked himself up unhurt, although
a bit shaken. He returned to Sid-
ney on Tuesday, and is now writing
a musical “sketch around the _ inci-
dent, which he intends to reproduce
upon the stage.

n is well known

Two social affairs of several days’
duration which have aroused much
interést among the social set of
North Saanich are the Tennis Tour-
nament and Regatta, which will be
given at the home of Mr. and Mrs.
R. G. Kennedy, Deep Cove, the Ten-
nis Reurnament beginning this af-
ternoon and the regatta’ at 2 p.m.
Saturday. The funds derived from
both the Tournament and the Regat-
ta will go to the Ladies’ Guild of
the Holy Trinity Church.

The Tennis Tournament opened at
2 o’clock this afternoon on the Ken-
nedy court, the mixed doubles being
put on first in order that players
might become acquainted gt the out-
set. It was stated that those unable
to play during the afternoon’ will
have a chance to do so in the even-
ing. The Tournament consists of
five events for adults, mixed doubles,
ladies’ doubles, ladies’ singles, gen-
tlemen’s doubles, gentlemen’s sin-
gles, in addition to a set of singles
for boys and girls, and it is expected
that the affair will continue for four
days.

The Regatta will be held at the
Kennedy beach, and judging from
the programme which has been an-
nounced it should be a most enjoy-
able affair and be prolific in excite-
ment for lovers of water sports.
The following programme will be
carried out:

Boys’ single scull, from 13 to 16;
girls’ single scull, under 14; ladies’
single scull; boys’ single scul!, from
10 to 13; boys’ single scull, under
10; men’s single scull; ladies’ double
canoe race. Interval for tea. La-
dies’ double canoe race; log rolling;
oarless boat race (upen); girls’
swimming race, under 14; boys’
swimming Trace, over 16; boys’ swim:

BAND EXCURSION NEXT MONTH

Foundation Band Negotiating With
Cc. P. R. For Boat to Transport
Picnickers to Sidney.

That the proposed picnic excursion
to Sidney of the Foundation Labor
Band of Victoria will take place next
month seems probable from a letter
received from Bandmaster T. Beat-
tie by Mr. F. F. Forneri, who, with
Mr. P. N. Tester, constitutes a com-
mittee of the Board of Trade the
function of which is to co-operate
with the band in making arrange-
ments for the excursion.

Mr. Beattie states in his letter:
