One of the beauties of the Judith
Gap celebration is that every one is
welcome and they are going to be
shown that they are welcome by the
fact that all entertainment is offered
free. We could possibly give better

charges were to be made to all the
sports. The only charge that will be
made will be for the dancing and that
sum will be entirely utilized in pay

fairs as money making schemes.
They are for the purpose of showing
the gathered throng what this sec
