The schools eligible to compete for the various cups will be Curran Street, Richmond Road, Bayfield and Ponsonby, while Vermont Street School will compete, but will only be eligible to obtain certificates. The Long Shield won last year by Curran Street will provide an interesting race. Tjjis cup is valued at £SO and is held by the winners for a period of 12 months. A special feature of the day will be the race for the Dr. T. W. Leys Memorial Cup, valued at 60 guineas. This 100yds. competition is among all the Auckland primary schools. There is a comprehensive programme, and, given fine weather, the carnival must be a success.
