The stalls and competitions were well patronised. Throughout the day various entertainments, such as displays of wrestling, boxing, Scotch dancing, tug-of-war, and children's sports were carried out- Marvou, the well-known wire-walker, gave several exhibitions. Musical items were supplied by the Dark Town and the Kazoo Bands. The result of the fair is not yet available, but it is .ho"ped that the funds will benefit to_a very considerable extent.
