MEETING OF COMMITTEE Mi 4 R. Thompson presided over a merging of the General Committee in connection with the St. Kilda Queen Carnivalwhich is now in progress with the object of raising funds for beach improvement.^ Representatives of each of the fo;4p competing queens reported regarding entertainments and other functions arranged for, including dances, smoke concerts and card evenings. The organiser’s report indicated very satisfactory progress, and certain recommendations put forward by him were adopted. . • ■ It was agreed that cards showing the positions occupied by the queens in the list, with the respective colours, should be placed at suitable parts of the borough and in the city, and that any alterations in the placing should be made from time to time. It was resolved that a deputation consisting of Messrs Kelly, Sellars, Johnston and Wycherley should wait upon the St. Kilda Borough Council at it* nest meeting with a view to enlisting the support of that body, in the movement. It was decided that, in fairness to those queens who had come late into the contest, the competition should be extended until June 16, and that permission should be sought to extend the date of drawing the art union to June’ 23. A special sub-committee- consisting of Messrs A. Webster, W. R. Sellars, J. A. Johnston, J. Idour, Mrs D. M. Lister and Mrs Thomson, together with the organiser (Mr G. A. Wycherley) and the secretary (Mr J. V.
