Hall on Wednesday evening, the president, Mr J. W. T. Jones, occupied the chair. The rules and by-laws governing tilie club were adopted* and it was decided to have booklets printed so that each member may become conversant with same. The official opening of the courts will take place on Saturday next at 2.30 p.m., and a cordial invitation is extended to all those interested in the game. SICKNESS. At the present time sickness is very prevalent. A large number Oi the children are suffering with whooping cough, ’and, consequently, the school attendance is suffering. Parents are urged to see that; their children attend as regularly as possible, otherwise the staffing of the school will suffer. The many friends of Mrs, Turner, of Turner’s Hill, will regret to hear that she lies in a precarious condition. Mrs Allen has been an inmate of the Waihi Hospital for the last two weeks, having undergone an operation to her hand through blood poisoning. Master Leslie Goldsworthy is also an inmate of the hospital at Waihi, suffering from pneumonia. His school friends all wish him a speedy recovery. The infant child of Mr and Mrs King, of Mackaytown, also lies in hospital suffering from the effects of . whooping cough. FISHING. Some good catches have been made this season in the local stream. The fish are biting freely, so good sport ?s assured for those interested in this sport. CHURCH SERVICES. Evening service will be held in St. Aiden’s Church of England every Sunday at 7.30 p.m. For some considerable time past the church work of the district has not shown the enthusiasm and interest that is desirable, so it is hoped that the regular services now provided will be the means of awakening that spirit of reverence which it is the duty of all to show towards the Almighty,
