PROGRASI OF Sl'ORTS FOR THE MAY DAY CEI.EBRATIOV A large number of delegates from the various organizations taking part attended the meet- ing of the May Day Committee last hionday evening in the council chamber. A consider- able number of matters connect- ed with the celebration were settled, and practically sll ar- rangements will have been com- pleted in a week from now. George Hsy, who with John Lawson and David hiorgan was present at the meeting, reported on behalf of the committee of the old timers. It appears that there sre resident in the muni- cipality a larger number who lived here in 1912 than was at first supposed. A list of those who have so far sent in their names will be found in another part of this issue Dr. F. Stainsby, who last year voluntarily took charge of the first aid station, kindly consent- ed to act again on the 24th inst- ant in a similar capacity. It was decided that a compe- tition with a prize be staged for the best six snap photos of the celebration taken by any ama- teur photographer resident in the municipahty. No photos will be returned, and B. M. Clerk will have charge of the coinpetition. Ex-Reeve V. V. Vinson and C2. Broderick have kindly consenteil to sct as judges. The nfatter of the use of loud speakers on the grounds at Ambleside Park was laid over until the next meeting after con- siderable discussion. The Legion W. A. will have charge of the refreshments at the cdebration at Ambleside Park, and will serve ice cream. soft drinks, cake, etc., from 10:30 a.m. to 6 p.m. They will also serve afternoon tea from 3 p.nz to 6 p.m. Arrangements have been made for the parade to enter Amble- side Park at the 12th Street ent- rance. proceeding round the grounds and massing in front of the hjay Queen's stand. The floats wifl not enter the grounds lining up instead between 12th and 13th Streets on the gravel stretch on the south side of Marine Drive, as was done some years ago on the occasion of the Canadian Diamond Jubilee cele- bration.
