PIONEER SPORTS CARNIVAL

NEXT MONDAY EVENING. The Pioneer Sports Club has been favoured with exceptionally good entries for its variety sports carnival, to be held at the English Park Stadium next Monday evening, commencing at 8 o'clock, many of the entries having come from far afield. .The sport will be of a varied nature, comprising as it docs, light car and motor-cycle racing, bicyclo steeplccliasing, also events that will be confined exclusively to the "old pennyfarthing machines," in which some of the entrants are now well in the "sere and yellow." ... . Amongst these is an old Birmingham boy aged 63, who is looking forward with eagerness to rilling again. Mr P. 0. Crooke has placed a dozen of these venerable machines at the service of tho club, and it vlll be quite interesting to see them in action again. The last occasion they were used was in of last year, when the club held its jubiloe. Another event that should prove of exceptional interest is the "medley wheel competition," in which machines of every conceivable make and age will compete. Several high-class running events are also included in the programme, in addition to which there aro endless novelty competitions. . , .„ Tho New Brighton Municipal Band wilt enliven the proceedings with a popular selection of music, and special trams will run to tho Park, the seating accommodation of which should be taxed to its'utmost capacity.
