Rangitaiki, so far this season, has been undefeated in shield games ,and Saturday's game will therefore be looked forward to with interest by the Rugby fans of the Bay, as Opotiki were the holders of this coveted troph'y earlier in the seasop.

Cycling Trophies The Rotorua Amateur Cycling Club is now in the fortunate position of having two cups for competition in the elub's road races, besides the I cup presented by Mr. Clarke, of ' Auckland. A local cycle agent, Mr. | P. Butler, has also presented a cup j for fastest time honours. i Golf Balls Collide | Golf balls do a number of peculiar and unexpected things, but it is not often that they meet in mid-air in the course of a match. Such an incident actually occurred on the Arikikapakapa Course yesterday, when a ball played by a lady player on the fairway of the tenth collided with a ball driven by another player from the tee of the eighth. Factory Graders A suggestion was made at the annual meeting of the Newman Cheese Company that the factories should combine and employ their own grader as against the Government graders, with a view to having a standardised cheese. "What we want is to export one quality of cheese/' where a sample of standardised cheese had found favour in the * Home market. "We eannot export one quality under the prdsent grading jsysltem," observed another shareholder, adding that it was time they put up a fight to get things done properly. Long Cycle Trip Two Rotorua school children, brother and sister performed a remarkable cycling feat yesterday when they rode from Mt. Maunganui to Rotorua, a distance of over 56 miles, in eight 'hours. The pair left the Mount at 7 a.m. and arrived in Rotorua at 3 p.m.
