The surprise Of the occasion was the
singing by all the vocalists present Of a
new song How We Fought at Manila, +"
70 the tune Of Marching Througb
Georgia, and il was well received.
The street sports in the afternoon
were carried out with a snap. although
the girls races did not eventuate and
the boys were called upon 70 fll up the
gap. The trick bicycle riding by Bert
Shaw and Alem Shaw was first-class
and highly appreciated.
The road race was over a twelve mile
course, and was won by Chas Stanton
in 34:l51<.
The evening concert in Marion
Square was simply superb. II is safe TO
assert that no such immense audience
ever enjoyed q concert Of equal excell-
ence for such a small expense, and the
money put into this feature by Chair
man Judah was infinitely the best use
made Of any Of the funds. The quieter
air Of the night and the comparative 81
lence Of the fre-cracker 6ends, made
the music more enjoyable than in the
morning, and the crowd stayed
throughout. The NovellO Quartette
scored another success and we're hardly
allowed 10 retire after they once ap-

phenomenal satisfaction 20 both sides.
From the time the parade started un-
oil the end Of the ball, there was some
thing Of interest going on all the time,
and the people hardly had time 10 get
their meals without missing some ex-
cellent feature Of the exercises. To
Chairman Judah and his assistant com
mittee-men falls the glory of this result.
The burden and responsibility have
fallen upon them, and the result has
proved their ability tO handle the situ-
