The Feast has again been made the occasion of a large influx of visitors to the town, and the inhabitants have been busy throughout the week in entertaining their relatives and friends.  The Sunday services at the various churches were in the most cases of a special character, and were largely attended.  In Spencer Park, Mr. Charles Thurston, the popular caterer for the public amusement, has provided a host of attractions which in their variety and originality are a marvel of ingenuity in war time.  It is fitting that under conditions that are apt to become depressing some diversion for the mind should be provided, and there is no one better able to find such relaxation than Mr. Thurston.  Owing to shortage of labour, many of the familiar features associated with the Feast are unavoidably missing, but the ever-popular Venetian gondolas, swing-boats, cocoanut shies, Aunt Sallies, Kaiser Bills, Little Willies, shooting galleries, oup-las, etc., are all in evidence as per usual, and fun and frolic has waxed fast and furious.  Owing to lighting restrictions, it is necessary to commence the festivities sooner than in pre-war days, and to close earlier in the day, but there has been provided ample opportunity for those on pleasure bent to enjoy themselves to the full, as the Fair has been opened nightly, and will conclude to-morrow evening, when all may indulge, if so inclined, in a glorious wind-up.
