(From Oar Own Correspondent.)

ST. PETER’S CARNIVAL. The carnival in connection with the parish of Temuka and Winchester, was held on the Vicarage Lawn on Thursday afternoon. Fortunately the weather had cleared beautifully, making the conditions pleasant and also contributing great!y to the success of the day. Arranged around the grounds were large stalls, representing various parts of the parish, namely, Temuka, \Vinchester, Clandeboye, ,and Waitohi. Each stall was exceptionally well stocked, and was liberally patronised during the day. The afternoon tea enclosure was situated on the south side of the grounds, where patrons could comfortably enjoy the delicious refreshments. The official opening took place shortly after 2 o’clock. The vicar (Re.v. J. R. Horvey), welcomed those present, and asked the Alayoress (Airs T. Gunnion) to formally open the carnival. The Mayoress, who was received with applause, said that she hoped that they would all spend freely for the cause was a very deserving one. She had much pleasure in declaring the carnival open. Business was good from the outset, and the ladies in charge of the stalls and competitions were kept busy all the afternoon. One of the features was the poster parade, which was led by a specially dressed herald, and the effect was most striking and original.
