ELECTRIC OFFICERS

ANNUAL CONFERENCE OPENS Press Association. WELLINGTON. To-day. The conference of the secretaries and executive officers of the Electric-Power Beards and Supply Authorities Association opened to-day. The delegates were welcomed bv the Mayor, Mr. G. A. Troup. Mr. J. A. Nash. M.P.. presided. He said the boards had shown wisdom in making haste slowly, embarked upon an advertising campaign, as they now had not the current with which to supply consumers. The shortage at Mangahao had upset all their calculations and it must necessarily make the returns of some boards go down. The conference is now discussing

tains, and Peter Grattan, with the ! favourite at the tail of the bunch. A j little further on Concertina got up and many following behind were interfered with, including the favourite. How- j ever. Our Patch went fast down the back, and was just behind Admiral | Lock and Halgana into the straight, with Maid of the Mountains in be- i tween. The last-named came fast ] over the last bit and scored by a length and a-quarter from Admiral Lock, with the unlucky Our Patch j three-parts of a length away.
