NEW BRIGHTON CARNIVAL.

New I'righton concluded its nine, days' Carnival on Saturday under most perfect weather conditions. Though in the morning the wind was somewhat strong, and the various stalls, tents, and marquees were severely buffeted and their respective anchorages put to the test, they stood fast. In the afternoon the force of (he wind lessened considerably, and during the eveniug there was just a pleasing cool breeze from the south-west, which perhaps accounted in some measure for the very large crowd who patronised the Carnival with its varied assortment of side-shows and other attrdactions. Th«> New Brighton Municipal Band under Conductor J. Nuttall contributed a programme of popular airs, which helped to enliven the proceedings during the evening session. Apart from the crowds at the Carnival, the business portion of the Borough was busy with many hundreds of people doing their weekend shopping. Sea View road, with its maud brightly-lit shops, stationary and passing motor-cars with their brilliant head-lights, and continuous passing of well-lit tram*, presented an animated spectacle. The Carnival has been favoured all through with fine and warm weather during the day, with calm and cool evenings, with perhaps one or two exceptions. Throughout the lengthy Carnival there was no unpleasant incident or accident.
