Original Toronto Star caption: Sprucing Up The CNE; Restoring the 12-foot-high winged figure atop Princes' Gate at the eastern end of Exhibition Park; Attilio Gandri works 85 feet above the ground; expecting to finish the work by July 26; well before the opening of the CNE Aug. 14. It's cool work because there's a breeze off the lake. Tomorrow's high will be around 80.
