MORE THRILLS TO-NIGHT

WHO IS WORLD'S CHAMPION

To-night's programme includes tho World’s loin underhand championship chop, and ten crack chops have nominated for the event, which, besides trophies, offers £7O in prize money. The performances of the Southlandors in the last two nights suggest that they have a good chance of jilting tho stakes, bnt there may be a dark horse in tho running. To-night will decide, and it is an outright test, as all start oil the same mark. Further heats of the JBin Doublehanded and Single-handed Sawing Handicaps are sure to provide some thrilling displays. Nor does that end the excitements of tho evening, additional events being the semi-final of the Underhand Chop Handicap and the final of tho 18in Single-handed Sawing Handicap. PIPING AND DANCING. Now interest was infused into the carnival this afternoon by the staging of nine initial events of the piping and dancing competitions, which include strathspeys and reels (open), soann trnihhnis (girls twelve and under fifteen), marches (open), Highland fling (girls under twelve), sword dance (boys over twelve and under fifteen), pibroch (open), hornpipe fgirls fifteen to eighteen), and Irish jig. Due to the great value of thctrohpy, much importance was attached to the Highland fling and scaun trinhhais contest (girls eighteen and over) for tho special Exhibition Cup. This magnificent piece of craftsmanship, awarded to tho winner gaining Hie highest number of points in both dances, was presented by tho Dancers' Institute, and was responsible for attracting entries from many centres.
