CARNIVAL QUEEN ELECTION. There was a good attendance of ladies at Gibbs' Booms last evening in order to promote the interests of the Gore candidate in the carnival queen contest. The Mayor (Mr D. LMciFarlane) presided and several members of the Gentlemen's Committee also attended. A number of apologies for non-attendance were received. A preliminary programme was drawn lip, in which provision was made for a number of entertainments. Next week a picture entertainment will be provided, and the week following the Eastern District Sub-union will give half the gate money of tlie football match to the fund. It is also proposed to collect goods and produce from farmers ivho are disposed to assist in the movement, and to hold a gift auction. The auction will form part of the programme of a concert to bo given by the Gore Brass Band. A Saturday afternoon will be devoted to the sale of tickets, and the Gore Stock Agents will also be approached with a request for assistance. The proceeds l of these functions will be devoted to buying votes in the interests of the Gore' candidate (iMiss Delia Martin). During the week a largo number of tickets have been sent to Invereargill to the central office there, and it is believed by the enthusiasm, already shown that tlie ■Gore candidate-will.occupy a high p.ositio'n on ijie list in the course of the coming week.
