A good number of ladies were present on the green, which was in splendid condition, "Mr. Vvilkie, the president of the club, heartily welcomed those present and declared his belief that the season would be a very successful ' one A number of new members joined the club. Mrs. Nicholas gracefully opened the season by throwing the jack, amidst applause. His Worship the Mayor congratulated the club upon its prooresß. Rinks were chosen by the president and vice-president. The match reI suited in a win for the president s team by 77 to <59. . tt The Anglican mission in Hawera was brought to a close by a special thanks givin" service held in St. Mary's on Wednesday evening. The services in connection with the mission were well attended, large numbers being present on all occasions. The success attending the mission should surely convince the "powers that be'* of the necessity for energetic missioners to visit the churches at least once a year. Another successful entertainment took place in the Dominion Skating Rink on

Friday evening, in the form of a grand poster carnival, iu which about sixty skaters, in costumes of most original and beautiful ideas, took part, lhe building was again decorated with flags of all sorts, and was packed with an admiring audience.
