Mr Hall-Jones was expected to attend Waiuku on Thursday and peg out the spot, which is on the roadside near Messrs Hosking and McEwan's properties on the main road to Pukekohe. Quite a large number of additional invitations have been issued and arrangements are being made to meet a number of guests at Pukekohe. It is also expected that the N.S.S.

The presentation spade, now on view in Waiuku, will be shown at Patumahoe on Saturday evening.
