SIX-HOUR DAY DISPLAY.
Wintry Weather Mars Sydney Fixture. SYDNEY, October 1. Wintry conditions spoilt the holiday sports gatherings as well as Labour’s annual Six-hour Day festival to-day. The temperature at 9 a.m. was 46cleg, the lowest for this month since 1871. Drizzling rain fell throughout the metropolis and there was snow in many parts of the country, including the Blue Mountains. The trade union procession was a mere skeleton of its former glory of the Eight-hour Day demonstration owing to the withdrawal of a number of the more costly banners, which probably would have been ruined by rain. However. there were the usual batches of trade displays and political tableaux and cartoons for the entertainment of the crowds which lined the route. The sports programme had to be aban-, doned.
