THE QUEEN CARNIVAL.

Auckland, which contains the warmest-hearted: people in Australasia, is at present reaching for its banking book to make the Queen Carnival a gilt-ediged' It would possibly surprise the average person to see the immense vigour being put into this movement by the committees, those people _ who are devoting the whole of their time to this splendid object. The one necessity is to give, and! to give freely, according to your means, and if the devoted people in charge do not greatly exceed the estimate, it will be a surprise, for Auckland is struck very deeply with the necessity _of keeping every man who is fighting for the Empire.

The title of "Wholesalers' Queen" has been chosen by the executive representing wholesale warehouses, merchants, wholesale factories, and the Commercial Travellers' and Warehousemen's Association. Garden fetes are to be held at Poneonby, Mt. Edlen, and Remuera next Saturday to further the candidature of the Wholesalers' Queen (Mrs. W. H. Parkes).

The committee who have been elected for the Professions and Commerce, to further the candidature of Mrs. Edward Russell as Queen of the Carnival, have published an attractive programme for October elsewhere in this issue. TJhe Baby Show in the Town Hall on Friday week will be not the least of the features.
