Bull said that it was j only natural that he should have a warm corner in his heart lor the place of his boyhood days, where ho had many firm friends, and it was pleasing to near bis lather's name spoken oi as a benefactor to Bulls. But he regretted very much lhe passing ul many ul liis old iriends; at one time he knew everybody in the district, but times had changed, and now most of the people were strangers to him. lie missed many familiar faces, one particularly, Air. F. J. Alansell senr. The pioneers of the district, he said, were uf the best type, and during the war years they showed their patriotism m no uncertain manner, Bulls sending more than its quota to light, and the public contributing a great amount 01 money for patriotic purposes. Whatever the people of Bulls had undertaken, they had done well, and he had no doubt that the present carnival would be a successful one. JStreameia of coloured lights were turned on, making a fine show. The Palmerston North Brass Band played selections, and drew a large audience, while “Cavalcade” attracted a packed house in the Town Hall. Business people report that trade was very brisk. This evening the Carnival festivities will be continued, a treasure hunt being one of the novelty events. GENERAL NEWS On Saturday afternoon members of the Tennis Club attended in full numbers, firstly to farewell Mrs. Alay Alansell, who is leaving Bulls to reside in Palmerston North, and secondly to wish Air. Roy Alansell good luck in his future married life. Air. A. W. Amon, president of the club, in making the presentations, said that all regretted Mrs. Alansell’s departure.

Amon extended the. hearty good wishes of all that his married life would be a happy one. Mr. Alansell responded on behalf of his mother and himself.
