DUNSANDEL FETE.

NEW YEAR'S DAY CELEBRATION

A very successful fete in aid of the Canterbury Patriotic Fund was held on the Dunsandel Domain on New Year's Day. The arrangements were very complete, there being many highly interesting stalls and sideshows. The stallholders were:— Refreshments, Mesdames Wraight, C. A. Wright, Stringer, Smith, H. Brown, S. McKcnzie, and J. Walker; jumble, flower, and cake stalls, Mesdames W. Walker, A. McPhcrson, Tweedy, and Stapleton; fruit and soft drinks, Mrs Anderson and Miss Owers; sweets, Mrs Westenra; afternoon tea, Brookside ladies. A mock court, presided over by Mr F. W. Johnston, of Christ church, was the means of raising about £l2O in fines. The baby show attracted about 30 entries, the awards being made by popular vote. In the evening a concert was held in the Town Hall. It is expected that the proceeds of the fete will be close on £SOO. The following were the results:— 100 Yards Handicap.—A. C. -Mead 1, (J.
