BUSH BEAT PUKETOI. The representative match between Bush and Puketoi which was to have been played on the Rugby Park. Pahiatua, had to be transferred to the Mangatainoka Domain owing to very wet weather. There was a fair attendance of Rugby enthusiasts, but the playing ground was not in a fit state for good football. W. Twentyman scored three unconverted tries for Bush, while Puketoi were 'unlucky not to have scored several times. BABY CARNIVAL CONCLUDING FUNCTION. The Baby Carnival which has now been running for the past five weeks will be brought to a conclusion tonight with a dance. Right from the start of the contest between the Fire Brigade and Civil Servants, public interest has been well maintained and it is confidently expected that the sum of £3OO will be realised as a result of the carnival. The final functions of the rival camps have been well attended. On Friday night last the Civil Servants held a very enjoyable dance in the Odd Fellows’ Hall. Marenzi’s Orchestra provided the music and the M’s.C. were Messrs V. Wimsett and R. Mountjoy. The hall was decorated with ferns and evergreens. The ladies’ committee provided its usual tasty supper. The Gala Day arranged for Saturday had to be abandoned on account of the weather. This was most unfortunate as the combined committees had spared no effort to ensure its success. The intended programme included a wheelborrow race from the town to the Domain, a tug-of-war and football match. Civil Servants and. Fire Brigade. Despite the wet conditions, however, the latter was held and resulted in a win for the Civil Servants by 14 points to 3. The winners were able to field a full fifteen while the Fire Brigade could only muster 12 players. Despite this handicap the Brigade made a determined fight of it. , Mr W. Udy ably controlled the game. After the match a social was held in the Odd Fellows’ Hall when several toasts were honoured. The Fire Brigade conducted a highly successful house party at the residence of Mr H. Allan, Rongomai, on Saturday night.
