BOY’S EYE INJURED Master Fred Cosford, whilst chopping wood on Thursday evening, met with a rather serious accident through a chip striking him in the eye. He was taken to the doctor, who recommended that the boy should receive treatment by a specialist, owing to the nature of the injury, and he was taken t>» Palmerston North on Friday morning. A curious feature of the accident is that the boy received an injury to the same eye a short time ago, through piercing the eyeball with a knife whilst cutting the string off a parcel. KING COUNTRY TEAMS Mr. Robinson, manager of the Manawhenua team, speaking at the function held in their honour after the King Country-Manawhenua match, congratulated the King Country, team upon the line exhibition given that afternoon, and further added that, although he had witnessed all the big matches during the last few years, he was firmly of the opinion that he had never seen such fine tackling as that of the King Country players in the game against his team. Other speakers were of the same opinion, and the visitors were loud in their praise of the sound defensive qualities of the King Country team. Manawhenua defeated King Country by 8 to 6. GENERAL At the annual general meeting of the Ohakune Co-operative Dairy Company, it was stated that an increase of 23 per cent, in supply to the factory had taken place, which was accredited to top-dressing. The total quantity of cheese made by the Ohakune Co-operative Dairy Company last season was just over 75 tons. The average test of suppliers was 4.032. There was a record attendance at the euchre party held in St. John’s Hall on Thursday evening, in aid of the band instrument fund. A very enjoyable evening was spent, and Mrs. Davis was successful in carrying off the ladies’ prize, a kettle, while Mr. G. Cunningham won the gent’s prize, a watch, which he generously handed back to be played for at a later date. A dainty supper was provided.
