QUEEN CARNIVAL.
DECLARATION OP POLL. The declaration of the poll in the queen carnival at 10 a.m. this morning again showed that the organisers of the various committees were endeavouring to ascertain the financial strength of their opponents, the position being:— ■ Pipers’ Queen (Miss June bcott) 1 Garrison Queen (Miss Beryl Oak-

The object of this effort is a most worthy one, for it is doubtful if there are any so self-sacrificing as our local bands. It matters little the naturft of tho function, one of tho first organisations to be called on to provide the fun of the fair is one of the bands, often without any thought of reward despite tho enormous expenditure entailed in maintaining their organisation. Now those organisations find that they must call on the'r supporters for assistance, and they find that their appeal is not falling on deaf cars. The Paddy’s market with which the carnival concludes will offer an opportunity to all to add their mite to the effort, 'and the well-stocked stalls with which tho Empire Hall will be filled will enable all to obtain value for their money as well as assist tho candidate of their choice:
