During j the year several social functions were hold . and nil proved really enjoyable. Three [ euchre parties took place) after which social evenings were 'held. Also one "at [ home," to which members invited their lady friends. The billiard table proved an attraction to members, and amply i justified its purchase. During tho year ono tournament was held, the first prizo . being won by Serjeant Smyth, a trophy presented by Mr. j\ Robert, of Palmerston North, and tho second won by Sergeant t Joplin, u trojihy presented by the club, i The membership of the club now number-. i ed 81, ns against 110 last year.
