It was decided to order sufficient metal chips to improve the run-back of the courts and also restar to topdress the courts and seal the runback. ’ Owing to the difficulty of travelling it is not likely that the club will affiliate with the Hauraki Flatus Tennis Association. Sufficient matches with other clubs can be arranged privately, and a number of trophies have been promised for club competition. A donation of a silk cushion has been made by the local ladies' guild ?n aid of the club funds. A date for the annual rose ball was fixed, but as it will clash with the Paeroa show it will probably be altered. THE SCHOOL.
