The children, under the tuition of the teachers, are giving some spectacular items that should please, whilst there are numerous races and competitions, many of which are distinctly novel, and all are evoking keen interest. A special attraction is the New Plymouth Pipe Band, which has kindly assented to give a programme of music during the afternoon The catering arrangements are in the hands of the energetic Kawaroa Park ladies' committee. A feature is the splendid way in which the members of the Kawaroa Park are entering into the gala, placing the wholo of their appointments at the disposal of the committee.
