At yesterday's meeting of the Upper Ci’ari River Board the minutes disclosed the astonishing fuel that the Board had not met for ten months. ■lncidentally, it was also shown, in life course of a tli-cussion, that, a Governmeat grant of T'fJOO had been lying at Wellington for certain protective woek urgently in need of attention. Mr Mason mentioned that further incursions, in connection with the works in question, had taken place “while the Board was waiting for the grant.” Mr f'oirn pointed out Hint the Board could not handle the grant until it had done the work.

Thu weekly meeting of the Welcome Jielro.it 1.0.G.T. .Lodge, IGci-aLlinc, was held on Monday night last, when Pro; ■J. M. Sutherland, 0.T., presided over a fair attendance of members!. Aitov the usual 'business was completed various amusements were indulged In

and a pleasant evening was closed with the good old cup that cheers. A hearty' invitation will be given to all old members and intending members of the Lodge to lie present at j the usual w. ekly meeting on Monday ne\ t. I The Geraldine J-'chool cadets hive j again distinguished themselves.

M on tgo mer vi. j A public debate of some inlavT jVvili take. place in the Tcmuka MejiTianies’ Institute next. Tuesday evening, commencing at a p.m. The subject, “ii hich is Lite preferable unv,al 'police- for New -Zealand ; Mr Allen’s or ; Bir -Joseph Ward’s ?”• sliwuhl allmct a large al tendance. - The subject is

topical, and a--good deal of misunderstanding exists’'as-To the relative va- , lua and ■ scope of the two uchtm s. Mi* :U. .Martin, sear., J)r. Ilugg, and Mr Hcrt Kingston will support Mr Aiflen’s • policy, and Mr T. Tilhrook, Mr Gordon bianco;; and Mr Kern Smith, the policy of Sir .Joseph Ward. The puhj lie is invited to attend and to participate in the debate. | Some weeks ago we mentioned the , big financial success attending the j Wanganui Carnival, and particularly the event known as the election of the •"Queen of the Carnival,” prior to thj holding of a Carnival the selection of a. Queen is decided upon by popular ! volt, and the price of each vote being ( dd, 3d or more, as the authorities may decide. In the rivalry countoted with the election ol the Queen, eon siderable. revenue is produced, some i voters purchasing as many as a guinea’s worth of tickets in order to forward the claims of their fair champion. In the ease of Manganui, .something over f 101.3 was raised in | f his manner. At Tuesday’s meeting' Urf Hie School Connnittec Air ■!. T. Smart suggested the advisability o> holding a “Queen of the Carnival,” the proceeds to be divided between the Domain, Technical Association, .ami ! School Committee. A later newspaper suggekion, arising out of that mentioned, is that the “Queen oi the i aenival” could take the plac> of the fete. This, it should be noted, is nol at all necessary. T’ou cannot have a |‘‘Queen of the Carnival” without. a 'carnival lo‘which to elect a queen, and the change of name fro n fete to j carnival is a trilling '..matter. Mho 'page nit, 'being arranged by the Navy fragile, would provide one of the big j'Valures of sireli a carniv;.ifl, it is well to reniemb. r, howr'vrr, that such ig functions ere usually plac-d in the anils of an e\p rl, several of whom 'arc at present doing business in the Dominion. The Temuka Mechanics’ I Institute and the Milford i.agoon Association would 'doubtless, lay claim, to share in such a general pu 1 ilii■ ef- j fori, if (hr l School ConimilTe ‘ andlh'i Technical Association .or ■ 1) b.e 'included.
