HAMILTON TOPICS From Our Oxen Correspondent HAMILTON, MondayDefinite steps to clear the great growth of rushes on the Hamilton Lake have been taken by the Domain Board. Delivery has just been accepted of a special rush-cutting boat costing £ 300. There was a good gathering of members of the local branch of the Church of England Men’s Society at the Cathedral on Sunday afternoon, when Archdeacon Mac Murray, of Auckland, gave an interesting address on his impressions of his recent visit to Jerusalem. The service was conducted by Dean Barnett. Over 250 members of the Waikato Mourned Rifles under the command of Lieutenant-Colonel C. R. Spragg went into camp for a week’s training at Hopuhopu yesterday. A “casual” camp : for the Xotrhern Command is also in | session there. About £3OO was collected as a rei suit of 4ast week’s free fair on the Ferry Bank in aid of the Beautifying i Society. This is regarded as highly | satisfactory and will enable the society to indemnify its indebtedness to the Borough Council. The Supreme Court sittings are ex- ; pected to resume at Hamilton for a couple of days next week, when Mr. i Justice Smith will preside. Electric power in Hamilton failed for i an hour yesterday at about 12.25 p.m., ; ! as the result of trouble on a high-ten- : sion line between Horahora and Te | Awamutu. * * * Keen enthusiasm was manifest at the Otago Club reunion in Hamilton .j on Saturday evening. Over 100 people attended the social, at which Mr. F. I W. Platts, S.M., C.M.G., and Mrs. Platts L were host and hostess. An enjoyable 1 j musical and dramatic programme was 1 provided.
