Various matters of interest were brought up for 'discussion, and a strong committee was appointed to make arrangements for entertaining the "Premier and party, on the oceasion of Sir Joseph Ward's visit to the King Country. It was suggested that the entertainment should take the form of a picnic, to be followed b3 r a banquet. It is intended to get the Premier to present the Charter to the Federation during the course of his visit.
