■ —; ' ENTHUSIASM UNABATED The eelebrattbhs ift connection with the Jubilee of the Grey Main School still continue amidst a wonderful enthusiasm. So successful has the Carnival been, that it has been decided tb continue on thia evening, Whfeh the final stages Will be reached. The attendance yesterday at the school was almost as big as on the first day, and the thronging crowds in the building made it hard to make headway to any portion of the building where the stalls were located. All the stalls did big business during the afternoon and evehihg, add by ten o’clock were practically left with bare counters. The children’s day was 'extremely happy and successful, and will endure in the memories of the youngsters for years to come. Their sports were held in brilliant sunshine, the heat of the sun being happily abated by a nice cooling breeze. The Euchre tourney in the evening created great interest, and the players, of whom there were just on 100, went “eyes out" from the first tingle of the bell at the “King table.” CHILDREN’S SPORTS
