From Onr Own Corresoondent Daby Carnival. A garden party held at the residence of Air and Airs C. C. AlcDonald in support of the Town Baby was an outstanding success.

Sawyer did excellent business on the produce stall, while Airs A. Atclndoe and Alisses B. Alogridge and charge of the competitions were Alesdames F. Williams, J. Evans, Messrs F. Purnell, A. Anderson, G. Denbow, A. Mclndoe, I. Jolly, W. Torrens and H. Rayner. A clay bird shoot was conducted by Messrs C. C. AlcDonald and W. A. Sawyer. Special thanks are due to Alessrs Rubery and W.
