PRESENTATION LAST EVENING CARNIVAL QUEEN ELECTED Soccer enthusiasts and players gathered in full force last evening, when the Auckland Football Association held its annual presentation. The president. Mr. E. 11. Davis, presided. Not the least important event of the evening was the announcing of the final count of votes in the Queen Carnival contest, which for weeks past has been demanding considerable interest and enthuu' in.

A public crowning ceremony will be held early in the New Year. In reviewing the past season, Mr. Davis referred to the lean financial time which had been experienced, and to once again place the association in a strong position financially, it would he a matter for all to put their shoulders to the wheel.
