CINDERELLA QUEEN CARNIVAL AT OUTRAM. (From our Mosgiel correspondent.) All portions of the Taieri parish are hard at work in preparation for the Cinderella Queen Carnival which is to. be held at Outram on the last two days of October. There are six candidates for the honor of - queen in the contest, and various functions have been held during the past few weeks to. raise funds. The more recent of these was. held last Wednesday when the. Allanton.Hall was well filled. The whole programme was supplied by Dunedin and Mosgiel visitors. Mr. Walker occupied the chair and introduced the performers. The audience was an appreciative one, and almost every item was encored.
