A large circus tent, used to house a moving picture entertainment, was totally wrecked.\u00a0 The affair was not altogether accidental and it was quite fortunate that no one was injured. There had been some criticism of the performance offered, the main objection being that there was no change of programme. To-night there was a large gathering and when the films projected turned out to be those shown previously there was objection from those who had seen the reels before.\u00a0 There was a demand for \u201cmoney back\u201d and when this was not forthcoming protests became more vigorous.\u00a0 Men seized the big centre poles and began to rock the tent. Down it came carrying an adjoining canvas structure used as a canteen. Many men were caught underneath, but all managed to scramble to safety and the operator carried his machine free of the wreck. Oil lamps were overturned and the tent was soon on fire. Wooden platforms and other woodwork made a fine pile for the fire and a big blaze illuminated the whole of the main camp.\u00a0 The fire did not spread beyond the two tents which were a total loss.\u201d\u00a0 <a href=\"#_edn1\" name=\"_ednref1\">[1]<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"#_ednref1\" name=\"_edn1\">[1]<\/a> \u201cPerfect Weather Made Review The Finest Yet Held, Fire in Camp\u201d <em>The Montreal Daily Mail,<\/em> Montreal, Tuesday, September 15, 1914.
