such as hoop-la, throwing the dart, dice and other attractions which afforded considerable amusement to both children and elders. Several stalls were also set aside for freshments, Including one run by the Dairy Farm, which offered tempting pics, sausages, lego of ham and other deflencies for-sale,
50-
Stalls were also Olled with pre- sentable articles which appealed to the older folk who visited the fete Inter in the evening.
