A Sports Meeting. The meeting called for last evening of the lady members and friends of the various sports clubs at Newtown for tile purpose of forming a committee to assist the Associated Amateur Sports in their Christmas effort for the soldiers at the Dardanelles, was held in the chess room of the Newtown Library. Mr. C. M. Luke occupied the chair. It was decided to distribute subscription sheets and organise parties to canvass the district. The chairman, Mr. Luke, nnd Mr. L. T. Watkins were appointed a deputation to wait upon the tennis clubs of the district to solicit t'ho help of the ladies in this matter. It was felt that the consciousness of the fact that they had helped to bring a little comfort and brightness into tho Christmas time of the soldiers who aro enduring unutterable hardships in assuring thqir safety would help to make their own Christmas a pleasanter one. 1
