PARK CARNIVAL WEEK. PADDY'S MARKET. A "Paddy's Market" 'is a .general market to which everyone congregates, bringing their own wares with thetn, setting up their stall, disposing of their goods, and in turn buying from others. In the Park Carnivfcl week, of course, there will be certain stalls arranged, but no one need hesitate to make a stall for th'emselves, and'every stall may, for that matter, be a jumble stall. The more stalls, the merrier win be the fun, and the fuller the park coffers at the end of the effort.

It is hoped that the suburbs of New Plymouth and the outlying districts will take this up and form committees amongst themselves, arranging to run a district stall, and so develop a little healthy rivalry between each other. Any information regarding the effort in any particular direction may be had from the secretary of the Park Board (Mr. P. 10. Siainton), or Mrs. C. H. Burgess.
