Apparently, the first meeting concerning the governance of a British colony in what became Nova Scotia took place aboard a ship, thus continuing the nautical theme of this series of menus. The back of the menu identifies the seven men at the table. However, it is disappointing that this meeting was the most dramatic bit of the history of the Canadian Maritimes that CN could find to portray on one of its menus.

This menu is dated the same as yesterday’s, June 28, 1934, so it has the same musical selections and foods. The musical programme identifies five pieces with their composers, plus “selection from ‘Madame Butterfly'” without listing the composer, as apparently Puccini’s name was too well known to list, plus “Popular,” meaning some popular tunes. These were probably all presented live, but the only performer identified is pianist Jerry Hughes.
