NEW BRIGHTON GALA.
TO THE EDITOB. Sir, —Would you allow me, as a constant visitor to New Brighton, to suggest that on the Gala Day, above all things, a large bonfire should be lit on the beach. As it will be a moonless night, and the tide very low, giving plenty of room, everything would be favourable. A bonfire on a seat beac'h is always a fine spectacle, and is a very great attraction, not only to children, but to adults as well. It would enable those trippers who cannot get down until evening to see.something, and would attract a great many by the .evening trams. Tar barrels can begot very cheaply now in Christchurch, and make a splendid fire. In all English seaside fetes the beach bonfire is the principal attraction. Trusting that some live committeeman will' see this.—l am, etc., A. N. RHODES. Gloucester Street West.
