Marked Circus
By Native Sons

The circus put on by the Terrace
Assembly of Native Sons of Canada on
Dominion Day, to reise funds towards
their guarantee vf $120 for the Terrace
Hospital, was a suecess financially and
in every other way.

Owing to the limited space in the
G.W.V.A. Hall, the sideshows, consis-
ting of fortune tellers, bearded lady,
animal show, and African dodger, were
puton first. At 815 the ring events
started and consisted of a burlesque
cock fight, performing mountain (7)
goats, burlesque boxing, painless den-
tist silhouette, silent barber shop, illus-
trated lecture in the form of album
depicting the different organizations of
Terrace, sleight-of-hand artistry, and
fire-eating,

The painiess dentist made a big hit,
and the silent barber brought down the
house. The illustrated lecture was Bo
well presented as to make the audience
stop and think of how much good the
organizations are doing for the com-
munity. With the help of an assistant
the sleight-of-hand worker performed
very cleverly. The last item was an
eye-opener even to those who had seen
fire-eaters before, and the Native Sons
were very fortunate in securing the
services of a young man who had been
trained for years in doing this stunt.

The Native Sons of Canada wouid
like to thank, through these columns,
those who were not members of the
organization, but who helped to make
this affair a success,

Sport Program
In Terrace On
e e :
Dominion Day
Dominion Day was fittingly celebrat-
ed in Terrace under idea] weather con-
ditions for outdoor sports which added
materially to the success of the day’s
activities. The Native Sons of Canada
had charge of the program for the
entire day, their aim being to raige
funds to cover their guarantee to the
Terrace Hospital,
The proceedings started with a Cali-
thumpian Parade, which lined up on
Kalum Avenue at 11,30 a.m, and made

its way to the C.N.R. depot to meet
the noon train. A number of floata

the featnre of the parade. The prize
for the best float. was awarded that of
the Canadian Legion representing an
artillery wagon. The entry of the Odd
Fellows, a presentation illustrating the
necessity of a hospital after a ride on
the lodge goat, won the comic prize.
The Rebekah Lodge float, ‘‘Rebekah at
the Well,’ waa well prepared, while
that of the B.D, Bridge Club added life
and color to the procession.

The afternoon sport program opened
with a baseball game between the
Native Sons and the Terrace team,
which resulted in a rather easy win for
the latter by a score of 28-8. Field
and track events followéd ahd were
featured by an ‘automobile race. Ed.
Arkell was the winning pilot. _

The Native Sons’ cireugs occupied the
early part of the evening. To wind up
a highly suceegsful day, a dance follow-
ed the circus. Mrs, Atwood’s orchestra
was in fine form, and encouraged lively
dancing, despite the-heat. At midnight
R, W. Clayton provided appetizing re-
freshments.

where the thinness-and dryness of
