TO-DAY'S CARNIVAL.

AN ATTRACTIVE PROGRAMME. Punctually at 2 p.m. the athletic sports, theatrical and side show carnival will be launched at the Newtown Park in its endeavour, to raise a goodly sum on behalf of the Rev. Mother Aubert's Homes (a very deserving object). Great preparations have been made so as to assure the success of this afternoon's outing. Seldom has such a combination of novel attractions been placed before the public, the chief attractions being theatrical performances given by the Pliminei'-Denniston Dramatic and Fullers' Vaudeville Companies. The ladies''beauty should attract much attention, for the winner is to receive an exceptionally valuable trophy. A baby show will be held for babies of all .aaes and sizes. The Newtown Park will abound in tea kiosks, fortune-tellers, and a .bevy of young ladies will sell . cigars and cigarettes. Prof. Dovey's pupils will give an exhibition of 'physical. culture to musical accompaniments, Miss Holmes's children will present fancy Japanese dances, whilst Old Aunt Sally and Punch and Judy will add to the merriment of this afternoon's fete. The Wellington. Garrison and Tramway Bands have willingly given their services, and it is fully expected that Newtown Park be beseiged with patrons. •' The following have donated prizes for the sports events:—Lady Ward, Mrs. T. G. Macarthy, Messrs. Kempthorne, Progser and Co., G. Aldons, Joseph Nathan and Co., Ltd., J.
