The success of the carnival to be held by the St. Clair Improvement Association next month concerns the people of the whole of Dunedin as much as those of the district, for the beach is one of the city’s principal playgrounds. As an Australian visitor remarked yesterday, he could not understand why greater facilities were not provided on such a splendid beach for the pleasure of the people by the civic authorities, who would bo compensated by a greatly revenue in tram fares and in other ways. He commended the work of the improvement societies at St. Hilda and at St. Clair, and considered they should receive the utmost support from the citizens, A meeting of those interested in the forthcoming carnival and those willing to assist is to be held tonight in the surf bathing-pavilion at St. Clair.
