CHRISTIAN BROTHERS' BAZAAR

The attendance at the Christian Brothers' bazaar during the week was excellent, and splendid business was done by the stallholders and their assistants. The spectacular displays, under the direction of Miss Hamann, are. a special feature of the carnival, and all who have Witnessed them are agreed that they are the most unique and artistic that have ever been witnessed in Dunedin. The side shows, which are proving to be a source of fun and interest to the younger portion of the visitors, were very well patronised during the week. The Kaikorai Band contributes each. evening the incidental music, and, in addition, some of . Dunedin's leading vocalists have given items, among those being Mrs. Power, Messrs. Mee, Poppelwell, and F. Woods. On Saturday afternoon there was a large attendance at the matinee. On Friday evening the tug-of-war contests began, and created very great interest. The Telegraph team beat the Christian Brothers, Kaikorai footballers beat the Coal Trade, representatives, and Speights beat Cossens and Black's men. On Monday evening Barninghams beat the Black and-White team, while the Kaitangata team vanquished the men comprising the Non-Com-missioned Officers, D. Company, Coastal Defence. On Tuesday evening there was a splendid attendance—an evidence of the increasing popularity of the carnival. Of course the marches, dances, and tableaux are. in the main responsible for drawing such large crowds, and are well worth the price of admission, apart altogether from the fact that patrons have a chance in the art union. In the tug-of-war contest the Harbor Board team defeated the Police, and Shiels beat Southern. Those who have received books of tickets for the art union are again urged to send in blocks and remittances without delay. ■'••' '•' ■"' "•■■ :l -- : •;
