OPENING OF THE EAST FRE-

MANTLE OVAL.

The oval which has just been com-pleted under the direction of the East Fremantle Municipal Council was opened on Saturday afternoon. Al-though the weather was disagreeable, those who attended numbered many sporting enthusiasts. His Excellency the Governor, who was introduced by Mr. Angwin, performed the ceremony. Sir Frederick Bedford said that he was greatly impressed with the manner in which the playing ground had been provided. The ground had been laid out in good taste, and with a view to the requirements of the public. It would, he said, be a boon to the people of East Fremantle, and he had much pleasure in declaring the ground

open.
