CANADIANS' SPORTS AT BEAR WOOD.
DOMINION DAY FESTIVITIES
DOMINION DAY was celebrated with
eclat at the Canadian Convalescent Hospital, Bear Wood, on Saturday, July 1st,
when a large number witnessed excellent sports amid beautiful sylvan surroundings.
The programme, the artistic work o f Pat Howard, depicted a Canadian entering the enemy' s barbed wire entangle
ments, and the names Ypres, Festubert, Givenchy, St. Eloi and Neuve Chapelle reminded us of some of the scenes in which these fine fighters have played so great a part. The band from the Depot Royal Berkshire Regiment was in attendance and the Y .M .C .A . kindly arranged a tent for refreshments, which several ladies from R ea d in g dispensed. In the evening "Are you a Mason?" was performed by the Bancroft Dramatic Company, London , and the prizes were distributed. The sports officials w e r e :- Starter, Major W.W. Bayley; judges Captain W. H . Brothers, Captain
G. G. Corbett and Lieu t. M . M . Gibson ; announcers, Sergt .Major Pritchard and Q .M .S. Scholfield ; track referees,
Staff-Sergt. Bolton and Sergt. Pilling.
