The iiifnir is an annual one and yesterday's parade, although not cast on mute-so ambitious lines as somo of its predecessors, was not locking in grotesqueness and broad humour. All the students who tool: part affected "fancy dress" costumes and the paintbrush was hot spared. Much originality was imparted into some ,of the "make-ups" ana what the other , students'lacked in this respect they more than made up with .their quaint antics. . Horse-drawn lorries bulked largely in tile procession and on one ■ of'•these' a- touching: tableau. w, ,s presented;Bearing'' 'th(j : " legend,-' "At last, Wellington's' new station; A.D. 9999," the disnlay- consisted entirely of-tlireo packing cases of modest dimensions!
