The programme will include several ream, events in addition to the usual racing contests The games this year are all new; A special feature will be the revival of the former girls' brigade, a team of 100 girls equipped with dummy rifles and bright tunics. A "wooden soldiers' " item will be given by another team of 60 girls. A massed physical drill display and a gymnastic tableaux will be staged by other parties. The finals of the physical drill contest will also be held. At the elimination contests this week, Greer's, Plummer's, John Court's and Milne and Choyce's teams were selected for the final.
