The Carnival Day
An extremely interesting programme of horse and carnival events, which was held at the A and P Showgrounds in brilliant weather, successfully brought to a close the first Poverty Bay Stampede.
The large crowd which attended the occasion was treated to a wide variety of entertainment, the highlights of which were the baffling exhibitions of blind driving, escapeology, and firewalking by former Gisborne-ite "Indana", the game of polo, won by P.B. over Kihikihi by 14 goals to six, and the International teams' jump, won by the Gisborne A team.
