enter in on the parade and their aid
is gladly welcomed by the committee
having the entertainment in charge,
The committee urges upon other So
cieties to enter, for without their aid
Il vii be difficult to make a proper
showing, and this is an excellent time
for the members OF the various Of
ganizations to help themselves by
showing off their membership at its
best, and at the same time to help
the town. That there will be many
sports is already a foregone conclu-
sion, so many in fact, that it is al
ready being considered whether il
will not be best to give some Of the
sports on the afternoon Of the day
/ before, thus making two days en-.
tertainment out Of it.
