HIGH CARNIVAL
"VARSITY STUDENTS'- PROCESSION. High carnival was indulged in by the local 'Varsity, students nt noon yesterday, for at that hair the time-honour-ed "capping day" procession made its appearance in. the city.' 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! Scenes facetitiously ' representative of Samoa, with- particular bearing on Hie indentured labour question, were also put on. ' The 'arrival of the new Governor" was another feature; Fairly large crowds turned out in the rain to watch the .procession, which cam-3 to a halt in the Post Office Square, where farcical speeches and weird d.inces were indulged in by the "circus" .before its dispersed.
