A record crowd is expected at the air port at North Taieri on Sunday afternoon to see a display of spectacular Hying by Flying-ofiicer E. G. Olsen, the Otago Aero Club’s pilot-instructor. This display will bo given shortly alter 3 o’clock, allowing ample time for city people travelling out by bus to reach tho aerodrome. Special arrangements are being made for parking _ motor cars inside the ground. Motorists are requested to use the lower gate, as the main entrance is now closed to all traffic, and park their cars with the backs against tho fence. Thus, it is hoped to avoid the acute traffic tangle which developed on the evening of Oscar Garden’s arrival, when the roadway near “the bridge and opposite the main gateway _ was completely blocked in all directions. Last Sunday the spectators were treated to a thrilling display of “stunt” flying, whicli many consider the best ever seen in Dunedin. Corporation buses will run to the airport via Wingatui in the afternoon as usual. A very sucessful garden fete was opened in the grounds of St. Dominic s Priory yesterday. Stalls with large quantities of goods of a very varied character were arranged in the pavilion bordering the tennis courts, and these were well patronised during the afternoon. It was evident that friends of the movement had been_ numerous and generous, the tables being loaded with articles for sale at very reasonable prices. In addition to tho stalls there was a Christmas tree for the young people, and a “ lucky wheel which was a centre of considerable interest. Tho stall-holders were kept busy both yesterday and to-day disposing of tlie useful goods with which the various stalls wore laden. As a result of the campaign held in town last night to raise funds for the Sanders Cup contest in February, the Otago Yacht and Motor Boat Club benefited to the extent of about hi.

Young ladies, dressed in yachting kit, were responsible for selling a large number of tickets for the concert to ho held next week, while an enjoyable musical programme was contributed by the Broad Bay Boating Club s Orchestra.

For tho municipal organ recital hy Dr Galway that is fixed for next Wednesday evening,'’ a programme has been issued that appeals to musicians and also_ to thoso persons who mostly claim to bo mere music-lovers. Chief amongst tho organ pieces is the over-welcome overture _to ‘ Tannliauser.’ Another composition that inevitably charms a general audience is Giuhnant’s ‘ Offertoir© on Christmas Themes,’ and Bach’s choral prelude ‘ Sleeper, Awake ’ is one of the masterpieces that tho people at large are interested in, largely because of Dr Galway’s previous expositions hero. Tho central item, fully entitled to its place of honour, is tho ‘ Concerto in A Minor ’ by Schumann, the piano solo by Mrs IT. C. Campbell, who is in top form, tha orchestral part from the organ.
