In the evening Te Awamutu Club entertained the visitors at Jackson's Hotel. Full justice having been done to the excellent repast, Mr Brown, president of Te Awamutu Club, welcomed the visitors, and in a happy speech mentioned that he hoped Te Kuiti men had enjoyed their visit and would come again soon. Mr White proposed the toast of the visitors, to which Messrs Power and Matthew responded. Mr Power said that Te Kuiti players had most thoroughly enjoyed their visit and he hoped Te Awamutu would return the visit early next season. He wished to take the opportunity to thank the ladies for all the good things they had provided that afternoon and for the kind manner in which they had supplied the bowlers with refreshments throughout the afternoon. He asked Mr Brown to convey the thanks of the Te Kuiti men to the ladies. Mr Power also praised the good work done by the caretaker. Other toasts honoured were: — Te Awamutu Tennis Club, re sponded to by Mr Cox; Hamilton Tennis Club, responded to by Mr Jordon; Host and Hostess, proposed by the chairman and responded to by Mr Jackson. Mr Dransfield spoke upon the matter of inter-club matches and said he thought it would be a good thing to play for a flag, the flag to become the property of the club who won it twice out of three matches. Mr Brown announced that Mr Jackson had generously donated a handsome banner for competition between the two clubs, the announcement being greeted with loud applause. Mr Stewart, secretary of the Te Awamutu Club, thanked Mr Jackson for his gift and also thanked Mr Power for his remarks re their caretaker, which remarks, he said, were much appreciated. An enjoyable evening terminated with the singing of the National Anthem.
