CHILDREN’S FETE IN SOUTH PARK HEADINGTON HILL. On Thursday afternoon by kind permission of Mr Herbert Morrell, the Oxford Co-operative and Industrial Society, under the auspices of the Education Committee, held a children's fete in South Park, Headington Hill. This is always a welcome occasion for the children, and this year was no exception. Thanks largely to the weather, over 5,500 people entered the grounds, where tea was supplied. A good idea of the appetites of the youngsters can be gauged by the quantity of provisions used. One ton of cake, 200 rolls of scones, 200 quarterns of bread, 250lbs. of butter. 30 lbs. of tea, 21/2 cwt of suger, and about 50 gallons of milk.... The Headington Temperance Band was in attendance from 3.45 to 5.30.
