There were in at- -. .. . tendance about two hundred and fifty persons possibly half and hair Canadian and Japanese. The evening's program included some speeches In English and some in JaDanese. The musical numbers ranged from interpretative dances I In picturesque Japanese costume to the virile strains of bagpipe selections. Large Canadian and Japanese flags formed the background for the speakers' table. It was an event of Interest and delight for all in attendance.

The possibilities of development of trade and com-' merce between Canada and Japan through this port were also alluded to, i City Commissioner W. J.

'CENTRE OF ATTRACTION Exhibition of Sail Handling Aboard Kaiwo Maru Yesterday Was Unique Display The exhibition of sail handling staged aboard the Japanese train ing ship Kaiwo Maru yesterday af- j ternoori drew a thousand or more people to the waterfront. For many It was the first time such a sight had ever Ireen seen. The agility with which the sailors scaled the ;nasts and clambered along the yards and the skill and precision with which the canvass was first unfurled and then furled was a revelation. It caused one to reflect upon the difficulties and hazards attending such work when it has to be done In a rough sea Instead of on a steady ship moored alongside a dock. The ship was an im-oosing sight after all the sail was set. On Saturday afternoon the Kaiwo Maru was open to public inspection and many took advantage of the opportunity to see around the very interesting ship. Officers, cadets and men were courtesy personified in receiving the visitors. Yesterday afternoon an interest lng affair took place aboard the Kaiwo Maru when an "At Home" was hald for Jaoanece callers, Loyalists To Slau Use ghter . i t1 1 . n..i , .-i.. a ... , m I rr , u T.l. aga, KODeri rveays, nemsuy 1111, ; wii, ivuuy miuciau.., nare nuiwcu, sun, uuuuiu iuiulsuii, uaviu miw John Leslie, Charles Love, Love, Eric Eric Mary Mary Baker, Baker, Robert Robert Bartlett, Bartlett, Peggy Peggy ! manson, manson, Lois Lois Lakie, Lakie, Teddy Capstlck.
