CEREMONIAL ARRIVAL OF KING NEPTUNE AND HIS COURT.

SUCCESSFUL DRIVE FOR M.C.L. FUNDS.

Repulse Bay beach was the scene of a huge Sports and Swim- ming Gala yesterday when the Ministering Children's League beld their Second Annual Gala.

The first event took place at 2.30 and each of the succeeding events in the long programme was run off with machine-like precision.

Entertainment for the children was supplied by a formidable. array of chutes, slides, serial railway, fish pond and wishing well, all of which were in constant demand by the hundreds of children whose presence lent a carnival spirit to the proceedings.

CHILDREN'S PYJAMA PARADE.

Assistance was rendered by men from H.M.S. Parthian, Phoenix and Tamar in conducting the beach events and side-shows. The swim ming events were supervised by men from H.M.S. Tamar, under Com mander Morris.

At 4 o'clock, when the official party arrived. there were more than 2,000 people on the bench.

In company with His Excellency and Mrs. Southorn were Capt. F. Webb, A.D.C., Major-General J. W. Sandilands, G.D.C., Sir Henry and Lady Pollock, Dr. and Mrs. Kotei wall, Mrs. R. Halifax, Mr. D. T.; Chau, Mr. Tong Shia Kin, and Mr. J. R. Wood, President of the
