Is'nt the name of this actually Carnies' Center?

No
No, it's "Carnie's Canter". See :
http://www.geocities.com/hamo_2000/jss.htm
and if you think about it, there's one very simple reason why it's not "Carnie's Center" and that's because it was composed by Scott Skinner, and in Scotland we spell the word "Centre", not "Center".

Thanks, and apologies. My version of the tune said Center.

Odd?
,,,,,,,,,,surely the B# in bars 1,2,5,6 isn't right - that would simply make the note a 'c nat' ie the same as the notes preceding and succeeding????
