ANOTHER RAID.

IS DER DAG APPROACHING? (Advt.) Whilst all eyes are turned towards Paris and wondering- what further damage the visiting Zeppelins will do, there is a possibility of overlooking the raid that will take place at Victoria Parle on Wednesday, February 9th. There will be several raids of novel amusements and th e trotting and motoring events will prove veritable bombs of excitement. Great craters will be rift into Mother Earth by the sanguine hortieulturalists around the district delving for their champion veo-etables for competition in the vegetable exhibits. Another feature that, will open your eyes and the competitors' mouths will be the bun-eating competition, for which Mr. Robertson is already laying down a special plant to produce a. specially succulent bath bun. Then there are foot events for boys and gii'ls, stepping race, donkey race, tug-of-war, goal kicking, golf putting, guessing competitions, and "a. thousand things ether than this." There will be frolic and fun, tests of strength and skill of an sorts, a fantasy of decorated cars ,traps, drays, cycles, and prams, plenty to feast the eyes '"and soothe the jaded heart, so don't, forget to start now and get your gear ready or you won't be in at the prize-giving. Competitors are reminded that, entries close on Saturday next, and the day, the great day— not Dei- Dag—is Wednesday, February 9th.
