A motion picture will be taken tomorrow of the parade at the Egmont A. and P. Show. An operator from Wellington will a,rive here by the mail train from Wellington this evening for this purpose. The picture will be included in the one which the Dairy Control Board is having prepared for exhibition in Great Britain, a work in which the South Taranaki Federation of Factories was asked to assist. Great excitement was caused when “Lolty,” the great Canadian giant, stepped from the. boat ati Wellington. 'He stands 8 feet 2-} inches, high and weighs 26 stone. It takes 5-J yards of material to make him a suit of clothes, which is enough for two average men. The manager of the shipping company informed! the management they were pleased to see the back of him on account of his enormous appetite. He has a. very pleasing personality and all visitors to the show (including the children) should take the opportunity of meeting and shaking hands with - him.
