MR SHEEHAN GIVES ADVICE.
At a recent meeting '(says the “ New Zealand Herald .of the Cambridge Farmers 1 Club,when its financial position was being discussed, and the fact that a money demand was at present pressing on the Club, Mr J. Sheehan, M.H.R., urged the Club to increase its subscriptions and hunt up its members. In the South they had farmer's clubs at which visitors could put up their horses and obtain luncheon. If the landowners in the district would not put their hands in their pockets and support the Club' he would have to join Sir George Grey again, and go in for cutting up the % , aste lands into 100 acre blocks (laughter). They should double the .subscription and make it a real Club. They must popularise the Club. It was nonsense to say that a mere sum of £75 was a serious difficulty. He would knock down that amount in billiards in the course of a night.
