THE NAPIER CARNIVAL.

The great Carnival week at Napier will commence on March 16, and with no less than £2500 to be given in prize-money all the events should fill well. There will be a Regatta, Bowling Tournament, Motor-car Gymkhana, Tennis Tournament, Swimming Races, Military Competitions, Horse Racing, and numerous other sports. In fact, Napier intends to fairly spread itself and have a real good time. Mr. A. E. Eagleton, the secre-

tary, desires attention drawn to the fact that the time for receiving entries has been extended for certain events. For the swimming cham pionship entries close on March 7, for the Champion Rowing Races on March 14, Motor-car events on March 2, Bowling Tournament on March 6, Military Tournament on March 10, Tennis Handicap events on March 7, and Champion Events on March 12. There should be a lengthy list of nominations in all events. If visitors cannot enjoy themselves at Napier when the carnival is in full swing, then indeed they will be difficult to please.
