COMPETITIONS FESTIVAL

■OVER SIX HUNDRED ENTRIES. : In spite of .the fact .that abno'rmal com ditions are prevailing this year, the em tries for the Competitions' i estiva] which takes place in the Town Hall on September 6, 7.. 8, 9. 10, 11, 13, are wonderfully good, and the various judges will have their work cut out to get through' the , heavy programme in the time set out. ' The-judges are all men of high standing, and the competitors and society are • very lucky indeed to secure gentlemen of ' such ability to fill the all-important posi- : tions of the judges in the various sections. ; i Should any names be inadvertently i omitted from the list printed, the Secre- . tary would be obliged, if those • whose names are omitted would inform him at once.
