CARNIVAL AT NEWTOWN PARK

ENTERTAINMENTS CONCLUDED,

The highly successful programme of the Rotary Club for the entertainment ! of boys from eight years to eighteen years concluded late yesterday afternoon before a large attendance. The fact that there were as many as 220 entries in one event indicates the popularity of the sports gathering, and the youngsters will be looking to the Rotary Club in anticipation of their next big brother " effort. The club will have to plan something very special if they are to have a more happy and enthusiastic lot of youngsters than those who have patronised their functions over the week-end. Their efforts have met with the approbation of the public, as well as of the boys, and the club's officials and those who assisted them are to be congratulated on the great success which attended the programme.
