QUEEN CARNIVAL

LABOUR PARTY'S ATTRACTION If the public support given the opening ceremony of the_ Labour Party’s queen carnival last night can bo taken as a criterion, it should prove an unqualified success for the remaining two nights. The Pioneer Hall’s animated appearance was indicative of excellent preparatory work, and the many abundantly stocked stalls were well patronised. Games and competitions were held during the evening. Opening the carnival, the mayor (Rev. E. T. Cox) eulogised the efforts of the committees of the respective four queens, and wished the carnival every success. ,

The competitions resulted as follow: Pikelets, Miss Harris, 53 Rawhiti street; scones, Miss Harris, 53 Rawhiti street; plain sponge, Mrs H. E. Wells, Begg street; fruit cake, Mrs Moore, 102 Albany street; most useful article, Mr Cheshire, 7 Vise street; best article from Iyd of cotton material, Mrs Munro, Harbour terrace; nail driving (for women), Mrs Ruth; balloon bursting (for boys), Master Stanley Watson. During the evening . the Waverley Bovs’ Brass Band presented an enjoyable selected programme. The carnival will be continued to-night, also to-mor-row afternoon and evening. To-morrow afternoon Big Brother Bill, of 4YA, will judge the children’s fancy_ dress and the decorated prams and tricycles competitions.
