A SUCCESSFUL FUNCTION. The Summer Carnival under the auspices of St Luke's Ladies' Guild, which was held in the public school grounds on Thursday proved an unqualified success.

Refreshments: Mesdames Conway Jones, Crump, and McGee, and Misses Lee, Elwood and Fickling. Produce: Misses Biggs, Handyside, and Heke.
