R . Hamilton won the trophy presented by the club to the highest scorer in the Parliamentary match. Mr Seddon made top. score for the North Island. He fired also for 1 the South Islanders (who won) making second top score. He made top score ' for the North Islanders at both ranges. : The match appears to have formed ths ] opportunity for a very happy reunion of members.

The quality of the goods was of a very high order, and as a result the sales were made promptly, and almost every line was disposed of, the takings for the day assuming very Substantial and satisfactory proportions. There were a band of busy stallholders, with many assistants who pushed the sale of tlieir wares to great advantage. In the evening the Kilties Band played a number* of selections outside the hall, while inside the scene continued a very busy one, much enjoyment being found in numerous side shows that besides amusing, helped to while away the small coins of those present.
