SHOW GROUNDS FETE.—The president, Mrs Holland, wishes to thank most sincerely all the helpers who gave such valuable assistance and. worked so indefatigably towards making, tho Lady Liverpool Stall the success it was v at the Carnival. The gifts sent in were so numerous that it will be. impossible to acknowledge all in particular, but Mrs Holland extends her thanks to all who through branches or schools or individually sent in donations towards tho stall.

Tho school children made a most successful raid on eggs. THE COPPER TRAIL has teen most successful, and we have to express the committee's grateful thanks for the timely assistance given to our funds by the COPPER TRAIL executive. We fain would wish to say that funds suf-' fice for the period of the war, but unfortunately; the monthly levy on the exchequer is big, and l no halt in view.
