At the rink on Saturday afternoon the march and songs of the "Harvesters" was repeated, followed by the "Rag Baby" exhibition, the Domino orchestra and a programme by Miss Wilson's Sunday school class and Miss Fannie Knox and Mrs. Runcie gave recitations.
In the evening the full Methodist choir rendered three selections: "'Tis Thou O Joyous Lark," "The Musical Museum," a melody, and "The Flag of the Free," after which the fancy dress carnival was given which was presented in a very pleasing manner, a number of the military movements executed calling forth hearty applause from the large crowd that was present.
The entertainment this evening will be a repetition of "Jubilee Day on the Old Plantation," which will close the most successful festival yet given. The rink was open during the afternoon for the sale of articles, but no supper will be served this evening.
