In order to encourage boys employed in the trade, three prizes will he awarded for the best displays by youth*, either on horseback or bicycle.

The committee decided that if the necessary arrangements could be completed, the union should make an interesting working display.. The Slaughtermen’s Union offered the use of a banner which was sent from Mew South Wales; this was accepted with tlianks, and should tho weather be favourable will prove an interesting feature of the procession.
