Street and many other willing and able workers were responsible for the success, financialâ€" ly and otherwise, of the carnival here twenty years ago under the auspices of the Hollinger Recreation Club. There were a number of novelties in addition to the skating races and othâ€" er ice events. There were nearly 250 in costume for the occasion. J. Monâ€" oghan, J.
