A feature of the function will be the drawing of the big Pageant Art Union, for which there are 28 prizes. The names of the winners will be announced from the stage immediately after the drawing, and the prizes will be handed over to the holders of the lucky tickets. The first prize is for alluvial gold, valued at £350, the second for Alluvial gold, valued at £30, and the third for alluvial gold valued at £20.
