T»he Hutt Municipal Silver Band did yeoman service, and Cubmaster Hoggard, with her assistant, Miss Withington and the Home Cubs, gave a display which gave the onlookers an insight into the varied and most practical and useful activities into which these very small boys are initiated, and many viewed their den, which is, as yet a new instition, but whicli will in time become a retreat of w&ich to be proud. There is even a gramophone installed there, with a stirring "Maori record which is dra-

The interior has received one coat of paint, and is, in tie near future, to receive anotheo*. fThe stalls did brisk trade, and were as fpllpws:—<Cake and Fancy Stall, Mrs House and Mrs. JTollands; Ice-cream: Joyce and Isabel McMillan; Vegetable: Derelk Forsyth and Edgar Marten; Flower Stall: Agnes McMillan.
