A section of the south-east portion of Victoria Park is rented from the City Council, and a very satisfactory arrangement is in operation under which the curator of the public reserves supervises the maintenance, tidying, beautifying, etc., of the sPe. The ground, and also the building, with its modem conveniences, have been commented upon most favourably by numbers oi visiting campers. The association is aho fortunate in having very attentive end satisfactory camp ground attendants in Mr and Mrs daboi bp. It win be noted that the reveuie for the camp jut-i exceeded the running expenses, there being a credit of £1 18s 6d on the year's working. This, however, does not take into account the interest on the capital expenditure on the camp ground building.
