LOCAL AND GENERAL.

| Next Wednesday being King's j Birthday the Boiough Council has I decided to take a holiday on that ' evening, so that no meeting of the , Council will be held, l The Reform League, which has ; played such a pnminent part in | j)jlitics in New Zealand during the past few years, still continues its activities. The Pukekohe branch is , to hold its annual general meeting of i on Tuesday evening next, l in the Borough Council Chamberp, 1 at 8 o'clock. i Play on the Pukekohe bowling i green is now over for the season, j Preparations are being made for the | top-dressing, and Mr Hill, caretaker jof the Ponsonby green, is to come down this week end to advise about i the work. On Kind's Birthdqy, Wednesday, 3rd June, the post and telegraph ! offices and the telephone exchange, jat Fukekche, will be closed. Mails ] usually closing on Wednesdav will I close at 7 p.m. cn Tuesday, 2nd June. Suplementary mails up to 7 ; a.m. on Wednesday will be made : upA general meeting of members of the Pukekohe Gun Clud is to be held on Friday evening next to elect a committee to carry out the affairs in connection with the • forthcoming big shcot. It appears that the election of the committee at the last meeting of theJJJclub was informal. Last night Mrs F. Matthews entertained a large company at a "d'oyley evening'' at her residence. A large number of d'oyleys for the benefit of St. James' Guild was Ih2 visible result. Miss Coster was awarded first pri/.e fur a handworked stone d'oyley, upon which drawn thread, eyelet and point lace were arliiti'ally combined. Miss Blake's contribution of an exquisitely croch:ted one was given second pri/.c, the ine.it of this article being the merest fraction less than thai of the one placed first, j During the evening music and games j were indulged in. For the progres sivc g unes Misses I'ilkington and! Long secured first and second ' pri.:.s, thi nons2ose prices creating | a lot nf fun. Mrs Matthews very [ kindly previ led (tie various [irir.es | which were all t'..-telully selected. 1
