The Third Carnival in VVingliarn

The directors of the Wingharn .Ar-

the very small.crowd of people who
attended the Arena Maisquerade Car-

and the very few who took the trou-
ble to compete" for the prizes they ofe
feted. Probably a few believe there
are too many carnivals, but those
should stop to think that We, have a
rink to be proud of and the directors
are making every effort possible, to
clear off the indebtedneas.
