Secoxp Dox, Tuesday, the 2th April, 1882.
The second day's events passed of very successfully; the weather was most favourable at the commencement though, unfortunately, it afterwards rained heavily, and the attendance of spectators, if ar thing, was larger than on Monday. The Town Band again enlivened the proceedings with their soul-stirring strains and a agreeable half-holiday would have enjoyed by all who were present, had it not been for the rain. There was a fair sprinkling of ladies in the tent set apart for them.

E. A. Fabris J. K. Michel T. Waring E. Miller in one respect, was the most interesting event of the day, or at any rate, the one that was the greatest attraction to the spectators. As will be seen above five stalwart acrobats turned up when the bell rang. The first trial of skill was at the horizontal bar at which Fabris, Waring, and Michael displayed some astonishing feats, the other two somewhat lacking in agility. The next trial was at the parallel bars where the same three again distinguished themselves. At the close the judges awarded the firat place to Fabris, Michael and Waring being bracketted for the second.
