The Silver Band under the conductorship of Mr 11. Osborne, enlivened the proceedings and young and old tripped the light fantastic on the lawn. Some old time games were also indulged in, and judging by the laughter, were heartily enjoyed. Competitions were also indulged in, while Mr IT. Hutchins did good business with “Aunt Sally." A “veiled lady” fortetold the future and gladdened the hearts of those who sought her occult power. The Mayor (Mr Perrcau) and Messrs Stevenson, Barron, Rogers, Carter and Corn kept the fun moving.
