Attendance Increases For • MAGISTRATE DIES First Night of Carnival; Continues Friday Night. .Despite a pouring. rain . throughout the afternoon and .threatening skies in the evening, the Lions eummer •.carni- val Wednesday night. attracted a crowd of nearly 4,000, that filled the playing field, scene'of the carnival, at theLions Park. The carnival is be- ing repeated Friday evening when an butstanding program, including the sensational "Lady in the Sky," and the internationally famous Preston Boys' Band is being featured. A parade, headed by the Goderich girls' trumpet band, and which includ- er .bands• from Seaforth, Tavistock, Goderich, Milverton, Stratford and St. Marys, opened the carnival on its ar- rival at the park. Following selec- tions by the massed bands under the direction of E. H. Close, bandmaster of the Seaforth 'Highlanders Band, the Goderich Bugle Band presented a precision drill in front of the main stage. During the evening each of the bands presented selections from a second stage. The arrangement of the stages this year avoided the ne- cessity of the crowds jamming in front tf the stage, since all the num- bers of the program could be seen from throughout the grounds. in two appearances, at 9.50 and 11.50 p.m., "The Lady in the Sky" thrilled the thousands who gazed sky- wards as she performed difficult aer- ial feats a hundred feet above the ground. In each case the act was cli- maxed by a slide from the top of her pole to the ground, hanging by her teeth. The act was unique in that despite the height, it was performed without safety nets. During the evening games of every description were in progress, as well as mechanical and pony rides for both adults and children. Vallee, Doreen & Co, presented . a clever head -and -hand balancing act Brom the main stage, which was well received by the crowds.
