PERSONAL.

I Mr Frank Penu, late of Otaki, has been elected viee-presideni of the Cambridge Tennis Club. Miss Jessie Baker has been appointed as assistant clerk to the Otaki Borough Council out of six applications. Influenza and chest troubles an- fairly prevale.nl at present, and Dr. Atmore has had the misfortune to contract in- . flucnza from contact with her patients. She is now convalescent, ami able to attend to her practice again. i A quiet wedding was solemnised at th. Roman Catholic Church this morni ins, when Mr Joint .Limes Sullivan, of Stratford, was married tu Miss Wini- | I'rod Grace Wilson, daughter of Mr and | Mrs R, D. Wilson, of Otaki Railway. j The Rev. Father Melu was the officiating Minister. Constable "Ned" Straffon, iate of ' Otaki, has been transferred to Wangauui. An exchange says:—"Scottie" : St ration, the burly boxer of the Central I Police Station, is leaving Christchurch, and that means that we are losing a good boxer.'- write- P.C. K». "I doubt whether us 'hard' a man as | Straffon will ever be round again in . professional or amateur boxing circles in Christchurch. Stocky, bullet-headed; with a punch like the kick or the left hind leg of a bull-mouse, Straffon could have done a whole lot more than he did do: but the King's Regulations do not 'let '.John Hop-' fight professionally. His style was like a whirlwind, and his face might have beet) cast-iron, for all , th" harm that any punches could do it. His fighting poise was not artistic — but neither is Jack Pempsey's left hook! Anyway, for a rutin over 30 —• it's quite true —he is a fine fighter. Good bunting. Scottie!'"
