At the close of the tournament irs. s. a. caw ley, the ayor's wife, presented the winners with their prizes amid much applause and three rousing cheers were given for the president for the successful termination of Chilliwack's first tennis tournament.

Car michael and Trcst in gentlemen's doubles, and Mr. Frost and Mrs." Coote in mixed doubles. The result of the tournament will have a far reaching effect of making this game more popular in Chilliwack and will result in many taking up the sport who previously thought little of it. During the season's playing many good players have been developed and Chilliwack may be expected to produce some of the provincial champions in the nar future. Among those who are already displaying championship orm is Miss Ethel Cawley, Who, as a.

first year player, has made remarkable progress. The Fraser family, of Cheam, both the sisters and little Pat, are strong athletes, and winning in most of the events they entered into, Pat working his way up to the semi finals in the open event, to the more experienced playing of H. P. Wrilson. Besides the president much of the credit and a good big share of the heavy work fell to the secretary treasurer, F.

C. 1 I i 1 P. W. RBNWORTH GO. Butler.

Brown, who died of heart failure on Wednesday last, was held en Sunday from his late residence at Cheam to the Oddfellows' cemetery and was largely attended by The deceased gentleman was one of Chilliwack's old inhabitants and one of the most respected. He was born Sept. 6th in the year 1835, in Darlington township, near Toronto, but moved with his parents to the County of Peel while yet a boy.

He married tleanor Mason Holt in 1857 and moved to Wallace, in what was known as the Queen's Bush, being a large tract of unsettled bush land in the Counties of Wellington and Bruce. There he lived until the year 1889 when he emigrated westward once more and settled in the then new Chilliwack valley. In religion he was a Protestant and a Congregationalist, being one of the first members of that denomination when they opened their first church in Listo wel, Ont. Since coming to Chilliwack he has been an adherent of the Presbyterian church. He was a member of the Orange Association from the age of 16 years and was instrumental in instituting the Rosedale Lodge, which held its first meeting in his house.

In politics he was a Conservative and always a strong supporter of Sir John A. McDonald and his policy. He leaves behind him to mourn one brother, Tom, living at Harriston, a sister, Mrs. Baird, at Fordrich, a son, George, at Lacombe; a daughter, Mrs. George McKeever of Edmonton, Alta and an adopted daughter, Mrs.

Joseph Gibson, living in this valley. All the family were'present at the funeral and also a neice, Mrs. A. J. Murray of Seattle, who, strange to say, had just been to see him the week before, after 22 years in ignorance of his residence.

The funeral was one of the largest ever held in the valley. The services being held at both the house and grave by the Revs. Miller of Oheam and McKay of Rosedale CARD OF THANKS. The relatives of the late James W. Brown of Cheam wish to convey their heartfelt thanks through the columns of the Progress to all those friends who so willingly gave their help and sympathy in their trying bereavement.
