It will be the first the club has organised and it is hoped to make the function a,n annpal one. The programme arranged is a very attractiye one, and includes horse events, Highland dancing, a car driving competition, car and trailer reversing contest an'd a number of novelty events.' Mr. W. Winiata's property, mid-way between Foxton and Levin, where the meeting is to be held, is ideally appointed for the purpose and, given favourable weather, there Will undoubtedjy be a.large attend--ance. The first evdnt is at 19 a.m.
