Plays 2 and 4 minute records The Music Store ESB3RI ROLLICKING, ROMPING ROGUISH ROSEDALE Breaks Loose in the Enjoyment of a Celebration Over Winning of Baseball Tropliy. Village and District Enjoying Results of United Efforts on Athletic Field. The residents of liosedale and vicinity, old and young, did themselves proud in the celebration of the presentation of the JouCry trophy to the winners of the baseball team in the Fraser Valley Baseball League. The celebration took the form of a banquet at the hotel and terminated in a dance in the hall across the street and from beginning to end the affair is declared by all who attended as being one of the nicest of the kind that has taken place in the valley for years. About a hundred invitation tickets were issued and nearly all of that number attended banquet.

Mrs. hostess of the new hotel, catered to the wants of the inner man and the old reputation which that lady has long ago established as a mistress in the culinary art was more than fully exemplified in the spread of good things upon her banquet board. There were dressed fowl, cold meats, salads, jellies, fruits, cakes, and all the other tempting and dainty creations of the culinary art put before the guests in the most tasteful and enticing manner possible, and the appreciation of these many good things was done full justice to by young and old and great and small. The appetites of all were young and big, however, on this occasion, and no shirkers were found in the company. After the supper, anotb feast was presented by Mr.

Alex. Mercer, president of the liosedale Athletic Association, who acted as toast master, and this was no less relished than the other. Toasts and speeches, complimentary to the members of the liosedale baseball team, were given by several, principal among which were the addresses given by Messrs. C. W.

Munro and the Rev. MnTvnv They were strong, encourae ine nnri inspiring, and will pnpmiram th members of the club to continue the present existing harmony which has on more than one accasion helped to win for them a hard fought game whn played against heavy odds. Mr. Fred Joudry, the doner of the Joudry trophy was present and no person was more enthuiastically received and more welcome. His trophy occupied a conspicuous place in the assembly and was much admired.

It is a large massive piece of silverware with three horn handles suitably inscribed and is much valued bv the bnvs hr. have won it first. To retain the trophy permanently, it must be won for three years in succession, and the Rosedale boys have the old British fighting spirit enough in them to hold what they have. The members of the club are a manly bunch of nlavers. Thev rint the game for the game's sake, and for me true spirit or the sport.

Behind them as supporters they have backing of the whole community, which is one of the strongest winning points of a clean amateur sporting club. The new hotel and feed stable built last summer by D. Greyell Is a great accommodation to the travelling public. Strangers coming to or passing through Kosedale are accommodated with the best to be had in the land. Mrs.

Somers, who has taken over the hotel Is a woman thnmoiv familiar with her undertaking and ieaes no want to be desired hv her quests. The feed stahle nnri ikwv Greyell and a place oi sneiter for the dumb friend of man Is ever open. Both the hotel and stable la greatly appreciated. The Braithwaite boys have built a new building across the street from the hotel which will be put to use some of these fine days as a pool room and reading room. Rosedale finds they are In need of amusement in the winter evenings, and pool Is not a bad pastime.

The two stores at the corner are doing a good Christmas trade. The Messrs. Munro, who have purchased the established business of Bartlett are catering to a large trade, and their man on the road Is kept busy from early morning until late evening taking orders and delivering goods. Messrs. Stocker and Close, the other general store proprietors, have also a fine stock of goods of both staple and holiday nature.
