Boxing Day Talbot Carnival Sees Record Attendance and Progress
The Talbot Charity Carnival at the Public Park on Boxing Day drew higher crowds and increased gate receipts by about five pounds versus 1916. The program mirrored the prior year with added events such as a Tacmania bicycle flag race though few new foot races or cycling entries emerged. Local officials, volunteers, and a Maryborough band contributed to smooth proceedings, with notable results in Sheffield Handicap and cycling events and generous prizes in quoits and other contests.
