The annual meeting of the Westland A. ami 1\ Association on Saturday afternoon extended over a period of three hours. Most of the discussion that took place waged over the financial position, mainly through the statement of affairs being presented in an incomplete form, and on the subject of the. Koiterangi limekiln, which at present is in an apparently very unsatisfactory position. Some of the speakers mentioned that it required an entire renewal and even those who would not agree that this drastic step was needed, stated that a considerable sum would have to be spent in order to put it in working order.

K.A correspondent writes—That Rugby is booming in Westland nono will denv. and that the spirit has pervaded as far South as Hnri Hari and AVatar„ is evident from the fact that two teams from the southern districts are making the journey to Grey mouth this week to watch the Coast team tij conclusions with "the Springboks and no doubt to pick up some of the finer points of the game. On Tuesday next the boys from down South are going to try thefmlselveft iou't against the Kokatahi teams at Kokatahi. If their reputation with regards to well-finish-ed beef and first grade cheese holds good in respect to Rugger there’s no the cheese versus butter contest should prove an interesting one. “On o of the most wonderful impressions of my flights in Fiji was the magnificent view we got of the coral-reef formations,” said Mr Loo Walsh, who has returned to Auckland from the islands. “I have never seen anything more remarkable from a. spectaculai point of view than the sight of the exquisitively coloured coral formations deej) below the surface of the water, every imagipable shade of blue. Flying over the reefs we could see sharks and turtles and cuttle-fish swimming about below, while the water was teeming with small fish whose colour we could not distinguish. These encircling coral reefs were stated to bo a feature of particular importance with regard to flying in the islands as they ensure a safe landing in the smooth water inside the reef, no mattef* how heavy a 'sen there may be outside.”

The Springbok captain, Mr Pienaar interviewed after the Masterton match said some of the New Zealander methods are unorthodox. I do not mean to suggest that you infringe the rules of the game, but yortr men do unexpected tilings. Many of us, who played against the New Zealand Army team in South Africa, are aware of that. Mr Pienaar spoke of the breakaway forwards that the team met in Sydney, and the wing-forward game, .that they were meeting with here. ‘We have no men under orders to break from fh 1 rum and interfere with the opening-: ' of the game, such as is done in Sydney. More olt than not, these break awavs are offside. ‘ To our men, this, and the wingforward style of play, tends to spoil the game. Their aim is to try and upset all attempts at combination, and they kill the open game, that we are accustomed to, by nipping all possible movements in the bud at the base of the serum. Asked as to how • his team expected to shape against the All-Blacks, with the three three-quar-ters and two five-eighths combination. Mr Pienaar said: “That question can b ( v argued for a long time and you will he just where von were. We believe in our combination behind the serum, and we "'ill do onr best with Ik*
