LIFE SAVING AND SURF CLUB.

In order to assist the recently organised local Life Saving and Surf Club, the Island Bay Surf Club sent up a contingent during tlie week-end to give a public exhibition and further instruct members of the local dub.

The visitors arrived on .Saturday mid wen* billeted by Mrs. Wallace and Messrs llie'*kc.v, Mitchell and Kirkland. In the evening they were formally welcomed by Mr. Perreau, president of' the local dub, at a social function in the Masonic Hall.

Demonstrations were given at the* ocean bench on Sunday by both the visitors and local team. The afternoon demonstrations were witnessed by a large crowd of spectators and collections totalled about CIO.
