Queen Cleopatra's Barge.
Miss Tiora Meadows, Transportation Queen, is seen enthroned, with the Mayor of Wellington, (Mr. G. A. Troup), as Barge Master.
Among the most interesting features of the month was the Carnival in Wellington for the Dominion War Memorial and Museum. A principal feature in this effort was the Transportation Pageant in which the Railways took a leading part. We have included in this issue one or two photographs from among the many taken of the Railway display. Miss Meadows won the contest with eleven thousand votes to spare.

“See the descending sun
Scatt'ring his beams about him as he sinks,
And gilding heaven above …
With paint no mortal pencil can express.“—Hopkins.
