Newspaper Article 1903 – Children’s Carnival

Children’s Carnival.

Despite the short interval which has elapsed since the Children’s Carnival was first given, there was a large attendance at the Drill Hall on Wednesday evening when it was repeated in aid of the Ladies’ Guild of Holy Trinity Church. The children enjoyed themselves thoroughly and went through the evolutions of a grand march and the various figures of square dances, and several round dances very prettily indeed. The pretty costumes worn shewed up splendidly in the brilliantly illuminated hall, and the scene was a very pretty one. After the children had had a couple of hours’ enjoyment several choruses were given by the choir, and an adults’ dance wound up a very happy evening’s entertainment. Supper was provided by members of the ladies’ guild.
