PAEKAKARIKI NOTES.

■.————»— Mr A. I. Mackay will, we understand, be nominated for the Wharcroa Hiding at the Hutt County election, Mr W. J. Howell having decided not to stand for re-election owing to illhealth. The attention of motorists using thcimain north road passing Paekakariki is drawn to the fact that just now the abnormal rainfall has caused large slips of rotten rock to fall from the hill immediately .opposite the station. Last Tuesday (says the "Post") slips occurred on and off all day, the inter-, mittent rumbling i>f times gaining crescendo as larger ooulders fell. One particularly largo specimen invaded the station yard, and in an unseemly maimer to derail a guard's van. s-anding attached to a Tine of goods trucks on a siding neat the road. t 4 yan was ralllt - r badly damaged, i' e si(le boarding being smashed iy The Club is becoming more ponuhu. is years roll by, and the executive ;/nou- faced with the difficulty 0 f i/ing unable to provide plnycrwy/sufficient courts. It is understood t T.it it is the intention of the club t( /quire more ground, and if this is correct it is "up" to the summer visitors who sometimes .use the court to the. exclusion of local players to give a helping hand. This sort of thing waij particularly noticeable last season.
