I EGMOXT ULLAGE. (From Our Own Correspondent). Monday again saw a good attendance at the Boxing Club, and arrangements were made to take a team in for a, spar with the New Plymouth Club on Wednesday. The weather, however, proved too bad to permit the members venturing out, only three making the trip. An attempt is to be made to (get a team together to go in on Monday, and it is to be hoped that the local boys will respond freely. The ranks of the Debating Society were badly thinned on Thursday night, owing, doubtless, to the bad weather. Readings and recitations from Scott, Dickens, Hastie and Mark Twain were the order for the evening, the following contributions being rendered:—Mr. F. Dewhirst, reading from "Tom Sawyer"; Mr. R. G. Marsh, "Martin Chuzzlewitt"; Messrs. A. Morton. (J. F. Dewhirst, M. J. Marsh and Geo. Marsh, "Pickwick Papers"; Mr. G. Foster, "Wavcrley"; nnd Mr. E. Dewhirst, "The Luck of Roaring Camp." The next evening's programme rrill be the delivery of lectures, with questions and criticisms by members. A euchre party and dance, the first ret held this season, will eventuate in the hall on Wednesday next. Favored with fine weather, it should be well patronised. The funds will go towards the cricket club. I
