HALL AFFAIRS. A meeting- of the Hinuera residents, convened by Mr. G. Conder, one of the trustees, to discuss matters affecting the Hinuera Public Hall was held last Friday evening. There were originally three trustees appointed to control the affairs of the hall, namely, Messrs. E. G. Brown, G. Conder and the late Mr. W. R. Clarke.

A new scale of charges for tne use of the hall was drafted and adopted by the meeting. ANNUAL TENNIS MEETING. The annual meeting of the Hinuera Tennis Club was held this week. The chairman, Mr. W.
