| Description: | Sports. Recreation; entertainment. Bank Holiday sports carnival; held as benefit for disabled veterans. Good shots throughout. First, of guys on a football field doing exercises with rifles (not like rifle drill; more calesthenics and stretching; such as lunging with rifles held up in both hands. Looks like some big fascist thing. Children's sports: 2 little boys boxing; with gloves; in the ring; etc.; throwing lots of punches and doing little defense; spectators in BG. Next 2 sprinters running toward camera in a race. Another race: jockeys riding mules. First; pre-race; a few riders on mules. Then race starts; and the mules come trotting along the track toward camera looking pretty silly. Contests. | |
