"B" Grade Tennis Competition The Bay of Plenty Lawn Tennis Association at its annual meeting, is to consider a proposal to inaugurate a B grade competition. The proposal will be popular particularly in this area. Clolheslines Cleared When four residents in King Street, Sumner Street and the Whaka Road rose yesterday morning they discovered that a thief or thieves had stolen clothes which had been left on the lines during the night. Some of the victims are in straightened circuinstances and the loss is a very sbrious one to them, while another woman lost clothes which she was washing for another person. The police are investigating. Hiking Club Mooted There is a movement afoot in Rotorua to establish a hiking club. In all probability there is no district in the Dominion which is more suitable as far as walks and tramping grounds are concerned, and the project may fill a very useful gap in the general activities of the district. Crown Land Sections The Commissioner of Crown Lands, Wellington, is offering 31 sections in tho town of Taupahi Extension No. 1 for sale by public auction on October 3 next. Particulars appear elsewhere in this issue. Stuck in the Mud The days of bad roads are not yet departed according to two motorists who had to be towed into Rotorua yesterday morning. Both cars were negotiating a clayey stretch on the Old Taupo Road and got stuck in the mud. Following Rugby's Example? It looks as if the Bay of Plenty Tennis Association has been studying the pronouncements of the English Rugby Union us conveyed by Mr. James Baxter, for among the matters to be discussed at the forthcoming annual meeting, is a suggestion that no replacements shall be allowed. Scott Centenary An interesting programme has been prepared for the Sir Walter Scott centenary celebration in St. John's Hall, on Wednesday evening j next. This will include. part songs, solos, recitations and readings from t Scott's works, with a lecturette and notes by Rev. A. Miller. The lecturette will be divided into three parts so that there will be no long address at any time. The proceeds are for St. John's Church funds. "Failure of Evolution" In St. John's Church to-morrow evening Rev. A. Miller will lecture on j "The Failure of Evolution." After more than seventy years currency, many writers and thinkers of to-day have come to the conclusion that evolution as a theory has failed to raake good and should now be abandoned in favour of the Qlmistian doctrine that Almighty God is the Creator and Governor of tbe universe. Mr. ; Miller takes this view and will ex- 1 pound it on Sunday evening. The lccture will he given in two parts and between these the choir will sing Jackson's "Te Deum."
