THE PROCESSION Last evening a procession formed lip at the Borough Council Chambers corner for the purpose of enticing the people to the grounds, when a Alaori concert party was to give a programme. The procession was just large enough for the purpose. Unfortunately for those associated with it, steady rain was falling at the time, which xiade conditions little unpleasant. However, tlie girls and boys remembered that tlie rain was doing a great deal of good and so they were not grumbling about it. . I’lie Feilding Municipal Band headed the procession, followed by the Fire Brigade. Oobhe’s assistants had a lorry full of gay ones representing the Spirit of Youth, a very line display. Next came a group of lads 011 bicycles representing Aitken's bookshop, Robson’s. and just fun makers. ddie Sash and Door employees, in a small ear, had a good display, likewise Robson's radio shop. The Pipe Band resplendent, livened the procession. Following this was a capital representation of a yacht. “Lady Mule and Daughter,” a clinking good affair, worthy of a millionaire. Boy Scouts and Cubs joined up in good force. Dalton and Co. had a well arranged lorry, and Bramwell Bros, a good trade display. Michelin tyres—alive—looked solid and hum-

orous. Bain and Co.’s garage was well represented with a breakdown repair outfit and Rayworth and Co. boosted Taupiri coal and motor tyres. A group of High School boys ou Wells' grocery lorry were capitally costumed, and the Power Board’s trade display was very good. Anderson and Pitman recommended the Ultimate radio, Darragli anil Sons had a fine trade display, Pitman’s milk as represented was rich in cream, Geo. YVatts—the Sausage King—was rich in vitamins. Win. Bramwell Ltd. joined up with a really good trade display. THE CONCERT A large number of people followed the lead to the showgrounds where the Maori concert party gave the programme as advertised. The entertainers were in capital form, and every item was thoroughly enjoyed It was a pity that the rain kept some people away, for the programme deserved a larger audience than faced tin* inconvenience. It Was rather a damp end to a wonderfully successful show, but of course the Committee had uo control over the elements. THE SYVEETS STALL With Mrs G. Fuller in cliarge, tlie ice croa.ni and sweets stall staff had a busy two days, and last night the chief and her helpers were extremely busv till almost on midnight. This side line gbplilj. give a substantil profit to the Association.
