Original Toronto Star caption: Old Dufferin St. Entrance is seen as it appeared in 1907. Many world famous events were initiated at the CNE; like the marathon swim for men and women; many of whom come from all over the world to take part. The annual baby show has become a popular feature. Countries from four corners of the earth send wares to be displayed.
