RIVER AND ROSE CARNIVAL.

* • Jim TO-DAYS 810 FCSCnoyVll ~ si Arrangements were completed terday for the River Bank and Rose*"' Carnival, to be held at Haglcy Park.to- % day. and, given tine weather, tho fijifc- ' •i lion should prove successful ia -V$ way. and provide a cash balance for tho " l i" Patriotic Fund well up to the cspecta- ~\ tions of tho promoters of tho enterpritf '"St Full particulars of the many attractions -'.■? to be provided were printed in "The '~i Press*' yesterday. Attention may at >*-? this juncture be drawn to tho largo '-? ipart whicli the local churches connected '■."'* J with tho Ministers' Association are play-' /$ ing in connexion with the Carnival. '• I Tlie Ministers' Association offered to "\ [secure the co-operation of the churches %' : I and tho result of their efforts can no* ,' be seen in the numerous tents allotted ':• to them. The. term "stall" in the oil, - cial programme may be rather mislead!': * ing. A visit to the following sections',-: will convince anyone of the big results of the efforts of the churches:—CblUVt dren's creche. Salvation Army; Mothd-'»".• dist Churches, live or six tent 3, concert platform in front; Congrajja. "*-';> lional Churches, "Ye May'lower - ' tent,V ; , with attendants in Puritan costumed also one of the most attractive features **%i of tha Carnival, viz., an Italian gan- \« dola concert party in four decorated -""* boats; Presbyterian Churches, six of' - ' seven tents, with many attractions; ; " Baptist Churches and Church of Chriit, '- , two or three tents; Y.M.C.A. aail ■•', Y.W.C.A.. tent, soda fountain, and '* amusements. It will therefore be seen '■ that whatever success the enterprise \ may achieve will be due in 110 small' measure to the energetic, enterprising, • and patriotic efforts of tho local * churches.
