The children's oval, a very sheltered spot, on which there are shutes, swing boats, seesaws, etc, instantly found favour and were in keen domand by the youngsters. A novelty jazz ragtime band caused no end of fun, while the side-shows assisted in the general merriment. Messrs G. G. Brookes and E. Cargeig, | organiser and secretary respectively, together with tho committee, left nothing to chance but' worked hard to ensure the success ot the carnival, the proceeds, of which are to be devoted to tho building fund of the club.
