At Toronto 6000 participants in t celebration at the park clashed, first with college students and secondly with rival factions. One student’s nose was broken and two girls were scratched and bruised. Order was restored quickly. In Buenos Aires sympathisers with rival Spanish factions fought with fists and guns in the midst of a parade. Nine were wounded and a woman died of a heart attack caused by the excitement.
