SOUTHLAND’S FESTIVAL HAS MERRY FINISH.
Per Press Association. INVERCARGILL, May 20. Southland’s May Fair celebrations concluded amid most enthusiastic scenes on Saturday night, when in spite of unfavourable weather conditions, tremendous crowds, many in fancy dress, swarmed through the main streets. No traffic was permitted through the centre of the town between 7.30 p.m. and 10.30 p.m., and here merriment was at its height. The week has been a memorable one for Southlanders and the numerous visitors who were present, and it is safe to assume that the festival, which was instituted last 3 r ear, has become an established event in the social life of the province.
