Undoubtedly the War had its effect in intensifying the patriotic emotions which always Mark this National Celebration Anu the announcement tha1 Italy had declared War on the o the allies was a further incentive for jubilation. The old spirit of Hil Arity and revelry was however miss ing rather was the Celebration sub Dued and Earnest. The flying of flags on most of the Down town buildings and the Decora lion of Homes with the National color of the allies proclaimed the Imperia sentiment which stirs All citizens. I1 has already been recorded How this sentiment found expression in Grea patriotic song fists by the schoo children at the Industrial Bureau convention Hall. The civic recognition of the Day took the form of Flash draped at the City Hall United which at night a vividly outlined in electric Lis lits. Throughout the Day a Cloud Haz protected the Earth a hot Sun and made All out doors delightful in consequence there was a great out pouring of citizens to the Parks am to near by towns and summer re sorts. All trains which left the Cit in the morning were loaded with sex cur zionists and the Day marked the opening of the season at the beaches at and at the Lake of the Woods.

The perfection of the weather coupled with the unexcelled advantages offered by the City Park made the one Long to be remembered by every kind of Holiday Celebration was to be seen at Tho Park through it the Day. There were entire fam ies with huge lunch baskets rammed with delectable dainties. Were the innumerable children forever getting lost and running Elter shelter in perfect Freedom on he Long stretches of verdant Green. There were elderly ladles who spent to time sewing beneath the Shade f the big Trees for Canada s sol Liers in France and at Home. There of were Young couples who wander 3d aimlessly along the narrow paths which dissected the Woods in All directions. The spectacle of the Square Miles of Grassy Lawn peopled to excess Lay Nen and women and children engaged 11 just being Happy was one to be Ong remembered. As is usual the arg a zoo at the Park was a Centre for the crowds. Young ones been dragging their old and unenthusiastic parents from All directions to Sec the monkeys the bears the Deci and the Many other animals were the monkeys perhaps were the Best patronized and each one of them was fed with peanuts and a variety cd other Choice morsels until they Al and most arrived at an individual collective stage of bursting. The Early ones to arrive were most Lor Lunate As at that time the apes were hungry and would hang on to the bars in the front of their Cage watery ing for peanuts. Later on in Tho Day each Monkey became an epicure inc. Refused to eat at the hands or the disorderly ratable.

His Little Black several new features have been added to the Park this year Princi pal among which is a runway for baby carriages the Park Troisi the Bridge. In former years the baby Carriage had to be Garnca up these Steps. Tills new innovation called Forth much Praise and admiration from the crowds. In Pursuit of amusement Many the children eventually arrived at the brim of the River and Here they spent a Glor ious time to the detriment of then immaculate White frocks paddling m the water. The 90th band was present throughout the Day and surrounding the band stand were thousands of pm knickers sitting Indian fashion on the grass. The band performed excellent style and their efforts called out much applause from the Assem bled audience. In every detail the Day was perfect.

Four bathing1 suits were seen snap Ping in the wind the Bath House. These bedraggled tights brought up the vision of a Young Man probably an overworked clerk with Little Chance to get to the Beach frequently who wanted to make the Best of the Short time he was there. It did not take much imagination to picture him dashing Down the Beach the cold Sand giving Way beneath his feet the nerve shocking plunge into knee deep frigidity a few desperate strokes in shallow water and then the return dash for the Bath House with Teeth chattering Between purple lips and Goose flesh standing out All Over him. The. Various amusements around the Pavilion such As the merry go round the shooting gallery and bowl ing Alley did a great business. The picture show House did not open until 7 o clock and so missed the Patron age of most of the crowd. The danc ing Pavilion was riot open. Picnic Gorns could be seen almost every where lessening the weight of baskets. Here and spots a group of Young folks could be seen playing one of cat or some other variety of baseball.

Winnipeg on the 9 o clock train were not greatly Dis appointed for they were not expect ing Brilliant weather but the Delight Ful Sun which warmed Winnipeg be fore noon led the crowd which boarded the 2 o clock to believe that they were going out for a hot and their Hopes were not fulfilled. But like True excursion lists they made the Best of it and tried valiantly to enjoy themselves. With unfavourable elements a Beach resort is one of the most forlorn spots on the map to be stranded in. When they first arrived quite a num Ber of couples headed for the Beach and rented boats. There was a Strong cold wind blowing in off the Lake and Tho water was Choppy but for a. Little while All of the boats were in use it was too stiff to pull against the Breeze to be enjoyable for the oarsmen and too oily and pitchy to be comfortable for the Young lady on the rear seat. Very time the male occupant of the boat failed to Feather his oar property he would dash the top off a breaker into his friends Lap. There were few boats out the cull hour. The larger Craft gasoline launches and the sail boats took a few trips with passengers but even they were not particularly popular for the cold air made a More sheltered spot seem Good. It was an Ideal wind for a sail boat Strong and steady but the thought of a plunge in that icy water Arundel Winnipeg f. B. Robertson w. Noble to. E.
