Packed graridstands and cheer- ing throngs made the second day of the 1035 fair a momentous one in the history of Prince Edward Island exhibitions. Throughout the day there was in evidence that smoothness and system resulting from planning and experience in the handling and entertainment of a vast crowd. The horse races and night show, the judging of ex- hibits in the main building and in the show ring, and the great mid- way att-actions were carried out with clock-like precision.

Show The excellent night show pro- gramme of the Provincial Exhibit- ion, certainly drew the people last evening. It was by several hundreds a larger attendance than that of the Wednesday evening last year, which had set a new record for night attendances. Upward: oi 5.500 people saw a wonderful evening's show, which was started b! Charlie Chamberlain singing one of his popular songs, followed by Senorita Palmino, the Little Spanish girl, in her kickover act. Last evening she surpassed herself and came within fourteen of her worlds record of a hundred and twenty five. The other Vaudeville Acts were the Four Fantinos, who made a great ‘ pression, the Hollywood Comiques. who created no end of merriment, D'Lcma who notwith- standing the heavy wind. carried through his act and stood on his head on the swaying pole. nearly a hundred feet from the ground. It was’ a superb exhibition, of nerve. The concluding act of vaude- ville was the Robert Cimse Sen- sation, and sensational it was to many thousands, hundreds of whom could not look at. it in its entirety. It ls without doubt meeting with a wondcrful reception here, and the people from the other province: who were present. say they never saw anything like it. even Ameri- cans. who have seen nearly every- thin-g in the great Republic. Charlie Chamberlain was heard in several iclcctlons, and the people were looking for more. The Cans- dlan Legion Band played mo!!! beautiful selections. The Horse Show was eagerly fol- lowed, hundreds crowding around the ring watching with the most intense interest, the iudeins- The Ladies Jumping Class was very beautifully executed by the thNQ young ladies mounted on bcliiilfill Jumpers.

Their action is left to their own discretion. Sir Samuel. indeed, gave them little information they did not already. possess. Also informed of the present crit- ical posltion, as is usual ‘procedure in circumstances like the present, were Sir Herbert Samuel, leader of the Liberal opposition, and George Lansbury, official leader of the opposition and Labor leader. Another visitor. David Lloyd George, was invited rather because the Foreign Secretary regards the wartime prime minister as an elder statesman with vast experience of European DOIitics, and in prepar- ation for the decisions that must be‘ taken the government is leav- ing no stone unturned.
