1. These three rolls appear to be part of the film listed as CANADIAN NATIONAL EXHBITION, Reel No. C-1617 in the Pathéscope of Canada Limited List of Slow-Burning Pathéscope Films (5th Edition) . The catalogue indicates the film as a two-reeler.~2. A review and comparison of the three rolls indicate that they are part of the same film. The head title font from GC-9500/CLASS H (Part 1) shared the same font as the three rolls (GC-9500/CLASS E/F/G), as well as the subject matter, and upon closer inspection, the motion film stock also shared similar traits, and characteristics suggesting a common origin/source. ~3. See IDC 365652 (GC-9500/CLASS H) for Part 1.~4. Spliced to the tail of roll four (GC-9500/CLASS G) it reads, 'Pathescope KOK Toronto'.~5. Not related to IDC 93327, "General View of Grounds at C.N.E." ~6. Given the 90-year rule, the copyright on this title has expired.
